I'm thinking about buying a jato 3.3 slightly used decent price on it. What do you guys think of them I haven't had any first hand experience with them
 
I think they are very quick and very easy to control for how fast they can go. I have one If your interested we can work out a deal. Let me know.
 
i was looking at buying one instead of the revo. then i saw the revo and yeh, changed my mind. off road is more fun. u can go more places. and if u want you can setup the revo to go alright on bitumen
 
Well Ijust put a bid in for a revo I'm basically looking for a fixer. Doesn't have to be perfect my wife got into rc an won't put my revo down so I'm trying to get one for her. And she has been looking online and saw a pink revo a arms fuel line body etc.. But first I gotta find a rig
 
If I were in the market for a traxxas I would probably lean toward a revo also instead of the Jato but the Jatos are cool too in their own right
 
yeh there rear wheel drive :) that would be fun. but in saying that its not hard to disconnect the front shafts. only problem is its only rear brake then and all it does it lock up as soon as you touch it.
 
I had some good off road times with my friend's but it doesn't compare to my tmaxx and he later did a full speed wheely up a curb and murdered the front end when he hit the garbage can(funniest rc moment of my life. it was only funny because of his reaction)
 
Here's what happened when I crashed my jato... Yes this is my video.

Well I wanted to race my brothers scooter which btw was pointless because it's top speed is about 12mph, but anyway, he stopped suddenly and I slammed into the back of it at full throttle. My brother was ok. Jato wasn't... As for repair it costed me $200 (I also upgraded to a 3.3) This happened a year ago and it's since sold.
