Convince me not to buy a traxxas 4tec 3.3 - Page 2 - Chitown R/C - Chicago's Largest RC Car and Truck Community

I was undecided going on the site, but then in the spur of the moment, chose the jato.

good call, now you can do 60mph in the street and blaze across the driveway and into the yard without missing a beat.

4-tec you would have been stuck strictly to the street, it gets boring.

The only thing I ever heard "odd" about the Jato was the wheel-tire size was unique and hard to find options for, other than Traxxas items, but I never looked to see if it was accurate info.

I know they look cool!

I had a Jato 2.5R. It was indeed quick, however I got tired of it because all it did was shred tires, and go fast. Oh yeah, couldn't stop either!

Rear wheel braking only at 60mph+ is not good if you have to stop in a hurry!

Imex has some tires for the Jato rims, and then there are the traxxas options as well.

Yeah, I have a few spares from my 2.5 jato that is in pieces, which will be for sale soon.

And that is exactly why I bought the jato instead of a n4tec. You can go offroad, somewhat. But 65 and 70 mph are not too far off from eachother. They are both ungodly fast.

60mph = 88 feet/second.....that little sucker will be outta sight in a few seconds if you aren't careful!

A football field every 4 seconds at 60mph. Anything faster than that should be intentionally airborne.

Heh, the 3.3 4tec at its claimed 75mph would do 110ft every second, or a foot ball field every 2.7 seconds.

But thats okay, the Bugatti Veyron covers a foot ball field every .8 seconds as at 253mph its covering 371ft per second.
