JATO Vs Hurricane XP

[TheBanditZ]

Hey guys just trying to compare wich would be better? I know one is buggy and the other is a ST. The jato runs pretty nice 55+mph but, the hurricane xp is rated at over 70mph. How do this two compare on topend, lowend, jumping, bashing, etc? The jato is a 1/10 ST, while the Hurricane is a 1/8 buggy. Again any input is greatly appreicated...

Who makes the hurricane? What do you plan on doing with your new toy? Racing, or bashing?

I would go with the jato, just because its a traxxas and its easy to find parts for. Everybody carries parts for them. With the hurricane, chances are your going to have a hard time finding parts for it when it brakes. And believe me IT WILL BRAKE!

I know its not really comparing apples to apples but just want to get some comments on this two RC's. They would probably be used more for bashing then racing....

I've never heard of the "Hurricane" but with a company pumpin it out braggin its MPH, Id say go with the Jato. There crazu fast I guess anyway.. Stick with the namebrands as much as ya can. (Traxxas, Hpi, Losi, AE..etc)

Any car with the suffix "XP" I would stay away from. Too much like Microsofts' Windows (prone to easy breaking, and support is next to impossible).

However, your mileage may vary. I would contact the company and see who distributes them, and if they say either Horizon, Global, or Great Planes, you should be safe. However, if they say they're a direct-order company, don't walk, but RUN away faster than you ever have before.

I'm with the others on this one; you might be safer to go with the Jato, as it has MANY aftermarket options, including different types of engines that are direct-drop-ins.

Apparently the Hurricane does 80 though....snigger....

I'm sure that's probably IN a hurricane...

And probably somewhere on the box;

* Actual Hurricane NOT included.

Go with the Jato and save yourself some headaches....theres a guy that runs the hurricane around here and the quality is just not there, and 70-80mph is a lie.

Over 70MPH from a budget buggy! :horsecrap On what 100% nitro content fuel a NOS system and...a HURRICANE pushing it.Sure,sounds like a pile of steaming you know what.If it was true then their budget 1/8th buggy would outpace pure ten nitro on roads,yeah right.In a hurricane only

Get a Jato it is a proven rocket fast stadium truck,great support and a great purchase.
