    I will assume that many people who own a rustler and have had it for some time will buy the jato. Its basically everything the rustler owners would want. And from what I have heard from Slayden racing the jato, this car looks like it can be a serious competitor.

    Have mine on backorder for about a week or since RCCA had posted about it, I can't wait for the gritty details of this new truck. About what an hour left to go or so...

    I've never owned a Stadium Truck but from what i've read and seen about this one, it looks like i might get into it. I currently have a T-Maxx running a Fantom FR18, and a Picco .21 on the way. Who know i might drop the fantom in the Jato.

    The 2.5r is basically the same as a 2.5 with SLIGHT porting adjustments and a different cooling head. People just think the blue cooling head makes all the difference in the world. As for the pipe, yah its a little disappointing but at least it will help keep the price lower.

    I'd buy one if I didn't already have four trucks. Looks like it may be time to sell the rustler.

    My brother is probably going to get one. It's gonna be sick. We're thinking of making a name for a team with matching hats. We only race Traxxas and own everyone else.

    I get 1st place at my track almost every weekend with my Revo, soon he will do the same with his Jato.

    Well, I just bought a Revo. Now I'm going to have to balance my budget between buying hop-ups for the Revo, and buying a Jato. No questionabout it, I must have one!

    My son and I have just gotten into RC with an E-Rustler. Got it set up for racing against 'real' race trucks. But, not many folks racing electric at the local track. Plenty of nitro.

    So, we've been looking at Assoc and Losi nitros. The Nitro Rustler seems fast but not really a racer. And then here comes the JATO.

    So I think we'll sit back and see if this truck is a real racer. It sure seems to be. The suspension seems very much race inspired, not the beefy, kinda clunky Rustler components.

    We'll wait and watch, but right now I'd say its firmly on top of our list for getting into nitro racing.
    Has anything intelligent ever followed the word "dude"?

    I'd say it is a good choice n80. it does look like a very racer inspired truck. i have also been looking into nitro, and this beast looks like the one, except I don;t have the money...

    I might get one to replace my Tired Rustler.... but the first thing to go is those fugly rims and tires! What made them put 2.8s on it?

    Hmm... I might wait until someone says something about how it holds up....

    I've got a fully hopped up rustler now, (almost) and don't need another nitro. I've gotta admit it has everything I personally wanted to see on a new truck. I don't want to spend the money on it and probably won't. We've been thinking of starting to carry traxxas vehicles as a business in the future. I would certainly get one then.

    I really like that 5 spoke design. I was going to get a 5 spoke rim for my Sport-Maxx but just went with a dish.

    My stock rustler is already fast enough for me as it is, so I'm happy with what i got right now. But if i didn't have the Rustler, I would definitely go for the Jato.

    Thinking of getting those Jato rims and tires (if they fit), those look pretty cool.
