I want to say to you “Who cares what other people think!” You are the one putting yourself out here in RUclips land giving us all kinds of insight and just genuine happiness about the hobby. So I tip my hat to you sir. Let the haters hate.

    Anything that moves the hobby forward is a good thing. Even if it may be based on a buggy that costs way more than it should. I had a feeling that spec racing was exactly what this buggy was designed for.

    Love this entry level basher/racer box stock type of racing. Honestly, this is how we expand the community of RC racers. I have a fully built 1/8 race buggy but race box stock arrma 3s and slash classes. They are just as fun to me as actual race cars.
    Im sure it turns possible future racers away when they show up and want to get into this hobby and are told they to spend x-thousand(s) of dollars to build a car that is competitive. Not only that when you are new you need to spend so much time into researching what works together etc.
    Where with box stock racing, you go out buy a car, battery and charger and can go out have fun and not only that but be able to compete in racing.
    In Denmark, we lack this type of racing. Its almost always race buggies and if you show up to the track with a basher you are just told that its basically a piece of s*** and cant compete, you need to go out and throw a ton of money on some race car. Its so annoying and I hate it. Im working together with a track and hopefully next season we have a arrma 3s class and possibly a jato class.

    If I decide to get a JATO, the 2s is the one I would get due to the HUGE price difference between it and the vxl. Then eventually upgrade to the vxl system after a while. Unless we had races around here then I would keep it race stock as that would be more fun running with others. ❤

    Ignore the haters. They’re just miserable in life. This hobby is meant to be fun no matter what brand or model you prefer. Me, I’ve had traxxas cars since 1997 when I got my first ever nitro car, the nitro sport. I also own Losi, arrma, Blackzon, and a few others. They all make me smile. I don’t care what anyone else says, I personally really like the BL2s line. I started in September of 2023 with the 4wd slash BL2s, and since then have added both the 2wd BL2s versions of the rustler and stampede. And I also have a mini Maxx. They are GREAT systems. No, they don’t have blinding speed. But they’re fast enough to be a ton of fun! And the best part is, you can bash and blast through an entire battery pack with the peace of mind that by the time the battery is spent, neither the ESC nor the motor will barely even be warm! No chance of overheating electronics or motors unless you drive them like an idiot. 😂

The original Jato is very fast compared to this cheap crap Traxxas has made. I believe Traxxas is way over rated they take the fun out of the hobby by way over pricing the new line of cars coming out. Just way to slow and way to over priced.

      People always complaining about traxxas vehicles. Yes it might be slow which means you drive it differently. Which means it races differently than other 1/8 scales. And what if he is a fanboy. What is wrong with that?

      @zbroomeful You’re an issue for the rc community. Keep your negativity to yourself. No need to spread the negativity of yourself onto others just because you’re a miserable human being. And if you don’t like traxxas go watch a channel like Tomley if you want to be a traxxas hating fanboy.
      Mark, keep up the awesome content brother! You’re killing it, can’t wait for the next video.

    I’ve actually been thinking about starting a Jato class and a minimaxx class at my track. By the way, you’re invited to run if you’re ever near me I’m about 9 miles south of San Antonio. I’ve offered an invite on your Instagram, but I know you are super busy.👍🏽👍🏽
