so this is my problim I've been quietly dealing with since last summer. last summer i drove my fairly new jato into railraid tie wall.. i broke nearly every main component of the car except the trans, motor, and throttle servo. i did a rebuild invantory and it came to $150..(factory traxxas parts-no upgrades) and I'm sure i left some stuff out.like front rims and tires stearing servo.. after giving it some serious thought, i decided to build a "straight shooter" out of the broken and leftover parts and some "fly-by" fabrication.. i got it all together and did a couple of passes with it, and its just what i expect.. another accedent waiting to happen. not only does it look like someone took a perfectly good jato and butchered it, it wont evan run straight.. my options are to rebuild wich could easly put me at $190, or leave it as is.. on the shelf as pictured.. I've looked for "rollers", but can't seem to find one for less then $225.. mind you, this is the second time I've done a MAJOR rebuild on the jato, first time it was run over..i have many other rc's but it just discusts me to see a traxxas in that condition.. I've also pondered buying a new jato and having a few parts(not many). but if i was gona spend $350 on a new rig, i would get a tec4 just couse i love onroad.. and still there sits the butched jato.. just need some more thoughts.. will let you know what my outcome is..sorry for the long post..
lol
