RE: jato or e-revo?
l broke my jato engine mount 4 times from flips, and stupid jumps, jato dont like jumps much, its fast but only on a nice smooth surface, its easy to tune a 3.3, and the jato is fast with the standard 3.3 TRX, however, the E-Revo is faster, off road and on road, both the 1/16th revo and the 1/10th e-revo are faster with the right battery. An 11.1 volt battery for the 1/16th and two 11.1v batteries in the 1/10th e-revo.
The E-revo is so much tougher than the jato, its a no brainer. It can be driven on or off road and set up like wise. It will smash a jato in a race, although the jato is one of the few nitro cars that can even come close. The jato is 2wd the revo's are all 4wd. Power to the ground on take of is revo territory.
The LIPO batteries needed to make a revo fly like a rocket can be purchased for 30 $ each, for 180$ you can run for hours if you take 2 chargers along.Chargers can be purchased for about 60 each, and there good chargers that balance etc. In the long run electric is cheaper, in the short run nitro is cheaper.
Personally l will never buy another jato, just dont use it enough, but l own several revo's, of every model, my favourite is without a dought, the brushless E-Revo line.
The 1/16th revo beats the 1/10 revo to 60km/h, then the 1/10th revo blasts past it, on a road, off the road the 1/10th revo eats everything !
Get an E-Revo......either scale is good but 1/10th is best fun.

RE: jato or e-revo?
I have two jato's, nitro revo, and just purchased the E revo brushless edition. I loved my jato's for the high speed runs and just the over all nitro sound/smoke, the revo was fun for the rough stuff and big jumps.
Now that I got my E revo brushless I find it to be the best of both worlds, Fast on 6s and can take the big hits/jumps and go anywhere. If I were to get back into the nitro, I'd just get the Losi Speed NT, cause the tranny is tougher, handling and traction is better due to the weight distributoin. I would go through a lot of tranny gears on my jatos with a hopped up motor and good tune.
