Yes. The change is very significant. From what i hear, it handles awesome...I would say it's safe to say it handles better than just about any other 2wd nitro ST.
I have a Jato and its a great handling chassis. I have not raced mine against others yet, but will within the next couple weeks. Its an excellent setup compared to the rustler and if you like traxxas it will be a great addition to any stable.
Work because i gotta, play because i wanna
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
