    Jato has Speed and revo has speed and offloading, I guess those are the biggest thing to consider, where do you plan on bashing the most

    Then I would go with the jato, theres a couple of upgrades that can be done to be able to go on some off road, suspension and tires, diff oil, cvd's stuff like that, i have a jato and a revo, but converted my revo 3.3 to brushless

    Tough call Bro, both good Trucks, IMHO the Revo is in need of more power then a 3.3 when the 3.3 is well suited to the Jato. If you want fast, fun and cheaper, go Jato. You have left over for the few upgrades to make it superb and a few sets of tires.

    Revo needs an engine, and a chunk of stuff to make it tough enough for the average Joe. The parts for it cost more, and while it will go fast, the Jato can go faster.. I plan on building one next after my Project Jato is done.

    it's two different cars. there's no way to compare them to each other. it's your meed that will guide you to pick up the right choice. i highly advise you to watch several videos from youtube for both cars to see each capabilities .

    i can make simple for you like this :

    Jato : high speed-on roading-bashing on sand, grass and semi tough terrains.
    Revo: high capabilities of bashing and jumping on almost all terrains.

    I have both. Figure out how to get cost justify a bigger budget. Neither really need major upgrades right out of the gate. Wait for stuff to break...

    go for the jato if your mainly doing on road driving. you can mod it for offroading if you want. but if speed doesnt matter the get the revo because its 4x4.

    I have both and the jato is awesome for on road gravel and other low terrain not much grass at all but the revo is awesome for full offroad bashing skate parks
