jato vs tmaxx

[BMILLER]

is a jato alot stronger then a t maxx i mean i love my truck but i can never drive it without breakin something i want something that will just be tough or maybe even a savage just something that will last through punishment

i'm confused,,,, are you trying to say that you own a T-maxx? and your T-maxx breaks a lot?? If this is true, i must say that i am shocked. My T-maxx is the toughest truck i have ever driven, I jump mine all the time, 4,5 and 6 feet in the air then crash land and nothing breaks. I'm not sure what your doing but,,, the jato is not stronger than the t-maxx. AND IMO the Savage is not as strong as the T-Maxx either!!!!!!!!!

I do not know were this guy is getting his info from, the Savage is way stronger than even the best hopped up T-Maxx, the Revo is another story, much better design than the Maxx. I also think a Jato with RPM parts is also stronger than the T-Maxx. If you want some thing that can take beating get a Savage or a Ofna Buggy, like a cheap buggy ULTRA LX 1 , Ultra MBX or 9.5. Put some CNC shock towers on the buggy and some carbon fiber parts and you are ready to rock.

 

[brad55102]

I respectfully disagree. T-Maxx Rules!!!!!

I've had a T-Maxx for 2 weeks, driven it a total of 4 days, and already broke bulkheads, a-arms, motor mount, exploded a fuel tank, and this is all just driving it around my front yard and driveway.

Really wish I would've opted out for the Revo or Savage, but I'm new to the hobby and wanted to learn before I spent big money on a fancy truck/car.

 

[ImBroken]

Like many members here on the board, I own both the Savage and TMaxx. The Savage is by far more durable in the stock form than the TMaxx.

 

[BMILLER]

my maxx has broke everytime i have drivin it i dont even get crazy with it

 

[TWOCANE]

When I had a Jato I think it took far ore punishment than my Maxx. And the Maxx breaks but then tou upgrade.

to be honest i dont know much about the savage but i have a t-maxx and i bash the poop out of that thing. i still have all factory a-arms that have never broke. The only thing that i have ever replace is the front bulk heads and the front shock tower once. But i have built a ramp over a friends 2 story house and cleared it 7 times and have never broke nothing. I have landed on its wheels on its side on the top every position you can think of. My revo i have done the same and havent broke it yet, but my revo 3.3 is new and hasnt even seen dirt yet and dont want to but i am going to brake it out one day. LOL just admiring it. LOL

 

[Ofna1]

I to have had 3 T-Maxxs and they alway had problems, more than my other trucks have had. I have also owned 4 Savages and the one I had from the time it was new in the box was the first Savage, a Savage 21 and I never broke any thing on it other than trashing the stock top. I have a Savage 25 which I am upgrading at this time and a Savage X which I have put RPM arms and skid plate on. I have not got to play with them much yet, and unless HPI made it cheaper than the first Savages I do not expect to break to much on these ride either. I have also had Revos and they are great trucks for bashing and racing and like I said if you want something fast and you can bash the heck out of get a cheap Ofna Buggy and you will break less and spend less money on repairs. On the Savage I would get RPM A Arms and You have a TANK. Have fun and I would say SELL the T-Maxx on eBay and buy one of the others.

 

[BMILLER]

lol yea i mean i done stripped spur gears snapped half shafts broken toe links and shocks an I'm sure a few other things and i might only have 4 or 5 tanks through it after break in if that I'm not gonna get rid of the maxx just looking to get something else

and its either gonna be a jato or rustler just tryijn to decide now

 

[alpinehyperlite]

I say go with an LST, strongest/biggest truck I've driven in nitro form.

 

[MrClean]

I say go with an LST, strongest/biggest truck I've driven in nitro form.

LST is definitely a strong/big MT. I have a Revo and an LST, I haven't driven the LST as much as the Revo, but they are both well built rigs.
If you are looking at the Jato/Rustler, those are more in the stadium truck/truggy class and I'm assuming price might be a factor. A Revo and LST are more durable than a Maxx (IMO) as far as MT go. Never owned a Savage but there are plenty of people here that do and can offer a better comparison. The Jato and Rustler are 2WD with lower ground clearance and I think if you run them into anything, you'll be more likely to break something versus any of the mentioned MT's. Again, that's JMO.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

I can bring my LST roller out to the bash if you wana look at one. If your gona make it. out there.

 

[BMILLER]

jato or rustler will be for the track if i dont end up buyin a damn rock crawler lol

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Rock Crawler's are fun, but you wouldnt want just that. U would want somthing to bash also.

umm let me get this straight you break stuff on a truck that goes what about 40-45 mph. So now you wanna try 65-70mph with a plastic chassis.

 

[BMILLER]

yep never hit anything just run it in basically a flat yard but it always breaks just kinda dissapointed in the t maxx strenth

 

[beason]

i would put a stock savage up against any stock rig period. it is by far the toughest truck i have ever owned. i have never had an lst but i have heard many stories of the driveline being weak. i currently own a revo and its pretty tough stock but with a few key upgrades its really though. it would give a savage a run for its money, if i could keep shock ends on it...

 

[alpinehyperlite]

I never had a problem with the driveline, and i primarily used mine as a pulling rig for high weight sled pulls. More stress then most people ever put on their rig.
