Holy crap! That is super nice.
Is it offered for sale or a one-off?
This is what my mine looks like

I've owned all the nitro versions of those trucks. My preferences would be:
1- Losi XXL
2- Savage 4.6
3- Savage 5.9
The Losi handled MUCH better than the Savages. The Savages are a little tougher in box stock form, IMO. The shorter wheelbase of the Savage X over the Savage XL makes for more fun of you're into wheelies or backflips.
Engine wise, the Losi 454 is great. The HPI 4.6 is a strong motor that holds a tune well, but I didn't like the 5.9 at all - runs hot, and just didn't cut it for me.
You really can't go wrong with any of them!

I pretty much like everything about the Jato other than being 1:10 scale, which is smaaaall to me haha. I wanted at least an 1:8 scale or bigger. But, can't seem to find good deals anywhere on XXL or Trophy Truggy.

But, I don't even think that will fair well in my backyard where the grass is about 3-4 inches. I can imagine that thing will just bounce and bounce until she flips. But I could probably also find a pretty fine done Jato on ebay for cheapish. Guess I'll have a look.

Ended up making a instinct purchase on a Savage XL with brand new losi 454 for $450. Also has Hi-Tech HS-5585MH steering servo, HS-645MG throttle servo and comes with original radio and reciever but probably gonna upgrade that to the Flysky FS-GT3B and their reciever for now. Pretty happy with the purchase, don't think I'll be taking it back (have like 5 hours to cancel, encase I find something amazing).
