Gee Kory..arent you talking smack yourself...
I do agree with you on the what truck is better stuff but everyone has opinions, I guess we all need to chill..But you should listen to your own advice as well.

Look we bash, we race, we trash our crap and build it better. We know we have the ability to break whatever it is in front of us with ease right. Thats just how it is! Hey Im sorry if you are ! There are to many better things to do than argue about whos company is better or faster or whatever! I dont care really I just have been with TRX since I was a youngin and love there stuff. Hpi , OFNA , AE are my other likables. Well I hope this can be squashed . There I said it MATT

The Jato looks like the way to go if you can pony up the extra coin.. ..That's the 3.3..Kory it's cool, I made the A at the Nat's in the expert class, my one big hura..

i herd they make these alloy A arms for the JATO that are unbreakable and if you do brake them you get another pair for FREE!!!! so i would go with the JATO 3.3. after alll in this "SPORT" you get what you pay for lol.

I just think that the Jato is tougher, It's built like an 1/8 scale, It does not use ball cups, It has a 2 speed tranny, for the little bit more it costs it really makes up for it with a much better truck, I have driven the 3.3 and I must say it was a lot of fun..and really fast, The "Rusty" with a 3.3 is also stupid fast but it does not handle as well as the Jato.

Talking

the only thing i have ever broken on my stampede was a motor and a few spur gears and a couple of bodies.ive spent lots of hours at the skate park with it, out bush and jumping whatever i could find to jump off and even run it with the monster trucks at the local track a few times for fun.as far as jumping goes, it jumps really nice.i run hobao tyres ,rpm bearing carriers and generally a 10 or 12 turn motor.its fast,and wheelies on demand.they dont corner on real grippy surfaces all that well but they were never designed as a race truck.on dirt,they are awesome fun.

worst thing is about the stampede is not many body choices out there.all pro line make is a poxy hummer shell these days.

the E-Savage is a rebadged E-Zilla.comes with 3 different body options now,truck,bug and quad bike.pretty tough truck from what they have said with the couple we have around here.

So many fan boys, and he asked for a ELECTRIC monster truck, so imo i would go with a stampede, i have brushless with mine, and it rips, The only thing broke is the teeth on the spur gear stripped from the power, i havent had any experience with any other monster truck so my opp, is a bit biased.
