lol not really..but i did get a new body for the mbx5 and a can of mettalic green paint w/ black flames or somthing. I managed to break the all the tabs on the servo case for the throttle. I think it was cause by that top plate flexing.

Those look like awesome machines. I'd love to get one so I'd have a low slung 2wd truck.

4wd is great for tearing through corners and getting all the traction you can muster, but 2wd is just a blast with the right model. Easier to throw it around. (Kinda like scale cars, heh)

Let us know how she runs!

Raced her at rockpile sunday and the jato handles the ruff stuff nice. It really shines in the high speed turns. Its not a easy truck to jump due to the fack that its easy to overpower on a jump and the truck gets a gyro effect going that I never really experianced with my losi. The TRX does put out alot of power but can be finicky to keep running in a race although it served me pretty well this weekend. I picked up a OS TR .12 for it when i get some time I'l put that in.

Heres some pics of the updated jato. I got the OS TR .12 installed and I added some lungsford turnbuckles. Stock camberlink turnbuckles were breaking/bending.
