Yeah, the way the front end is shaped does make it easy to flip, but if you try to put the batteries towards the front (or center) it helps with the lifting. If high speed is what you're after, I'm sure a front spoiler can be easily be made with Lexan/plastic/Al sheet/etc and mounted somehow.

The problem I had with mine is getting the rear wheels to hook up, especially on dirt. Most (if not all) ST have the motor behind the rear wheels so it helps traction.

Are you going with the single speed or keep the two speed? Just like the Revo, you'll need mech brakes (and won't have reverse) if using the 2 speed. What's nice about the Jato is the availability of the single speed, which eliminates the need to find a way to lock it into second gear.

Good luck! Oh, and pics are mandatory!
