Hi all been offered out for a race with my trusty menace 21 now its up and running again. Thing is this fella wants to race for pink slips in which the winner will take home both cars. If i race we will be racing on loose gravel on a 90 meter sprint wot chance will i have against this car iv read reviews and the jato is fast but just want to know what chance i have of owning a new rc nitro or loosing my own thanks in advance.

Hey, make sure you get this on pinks all out!

The jato has (Speed!) But not so greaat off road! Unless he is useing the stock tires!
Then you have a chance of beating him!

It doesn't matter who has more horsepower at that point. It's who bought the most appropriate tires for the surface.

90 meters is ~200 feet, so not exactly a super long race. Whoever can manage traction will probably win.

Hi fella's well been reading up on the jato 3.3 and i am feeling confident, it has no 4x4 wheel drive and a maximum of 65 mph top end not sure how many gears but the menace does have 4 wheeled drive and a supposed top end of 70 mph with the correct tuning setup plus the fact its got three gears which should help put down the power. i dont think this guy has read up on the menace and thinks his jato is unbeatable lol still might try and purswade him in to a circuit race on grass though.

If you lose just don't give him ur menace...I mean be like **** u I aint given u my menace. But a 4wd may launch beter, my jato has a hard time keeping strait on gravel from a hard launch. He will have to run pretty much paddles to hook up on gravel...or ,moabs...I dun know, the jato will have trouble hooking up on the gravel.

I don't think you know what racing for pink slips means.
