I am looking for a good bashing truck and I have looked at the TMaxx and Revo. I am wondering how the Jato can be for bashing (I've heard STs cant run well on grass?)?

Yea the jato is a pretty good basher, i guess it could be tougher though. Its really fast though, i think youd be happy with it, I know I am, Im goin to race it this summer. If you get some rpm arms ittl be good to you. good luck

My Jato runs pretty good in the grass. It depends if you want a monster or stadium truck. Depends on funds too. I would get the 3.3 Jato, change out the bell housing to a less tooth or 2 and the spur gear with a couple extra so it has faster accel but lower top end so it has more torque. After that put on slightly bigger tires. You can now keep a lower center of gravity, lighter car, and it will still do like 50 which is faster then the REVO with a 3.3.

go look on page 18 of the stadium truck gallery and you'll see alot of pictures i put up of me bashing it. My jato does great in grass...as long as its not a hill, it will float the front end across my yard, but if you try hillclimbing with an ST, forget about it...i think my jato bashes as good as anything else out there, of course stuff breaks on it, stuff is going to break no matter what you bash with...go take a look at the pictures on page 18 of the gallery and see.
