Jato?
I recently purchased a used Tmaxx and of course the engine was toast. I am waiting on my engine now, should be here 4/7. This gives me too much time to look at other stuff. I like the way the Jato looks, but just watching videos, that thing looks like it has too much power. Am I allowed to say that? I am thinking about getting something like it. Would it be better to get the sport with the .15 engine. That Jato looks like it is almost impossible to drive. Do any of you have one?

RE: Jato?
You don't have to drive at full throttle, and by the way the jato is not monster truck so you will get better answers in the nitro stadium truck section.

RE: Jato?
huh really they are that hard to control eh? there must be some sort of gearing you can do to them to make them a little more manageable......i still think they look like a lot of fun!!!!

RE: Jato?
there is nothing special about the jato other than the 2 speed tranny. thats what makes it fast and only being 2wd makes it really hard to drive. take the power of the revo/maxx how they love to wheelstand being 4wd and put all that power to the rear wheels. other than on the street useless i dont care how you gear it. but if thats what you want its what youll get. good luck drive hard

RE: Jato?
I don't want to sound like a "girl", but I really like the way the Jato looks. It looks mean!! Maybe I will learn how to drive the Tmaxx first, then challenge myself with a powerful 2WD? I haven't spent lots of time with the Tmaxx yet. Motor should be here tomorrow.
