I think that 1/4 mile is MUCH more than 132feet. 1,320 is more acurate. 1 mile is 5,000+ feet.

SCALE quarter mile...actual quarter mile (1320) divided by scale (10) = 132 feet

yea come on people can't you read through it all before you post please
its a 1/10 SCALE 1/4 MILE NOT a full 1/4 mile
and to be honest both drivers have just about the same nitro, and general RC experience. Don't you agree jordan??
(except Jordan can backflip an RC better than me, but i drift better)

Just race already and let us know. Theres no point in guessing when you have the two cars. Do best out of 3. Race for pinks, lol.

the 4 tech will kill the jato in a drag race, you cannot punch the jato off the line like you can with the 4 tech.. it will either spin out or do a wheelie, while the 4tech being 4wd and a touring car with not wheelie and will not have so much of a problem spinning out. stock 4 tech could even take a worked up jato IMO.

the only thing though is that with 4wd you can put the power to the ground and be able to take off. with a jato when you floor it from a dead stop you end up spinning it (trust me from experience i got beat by a tmaxx because of that)

u must suck and have a slow ass jato then...... lol no offence, u gotta warm the tires up (burn out), and u cant just grab a hand full of throtle cause it will either wheelie right onto its back or spin out like u said, but i will also have my wheelie bar on to help prevent wheelies. and were also doing stock race, then about a day or 2 later we are going to do an unstock race, which should be interesting
and my jato has WAY more time on it then rob's 4tech....... i mean look at this http://youtube.com/watch?v=9KKNQXsNCbI im going to be racing him with that jato!!! rob is just nervous 
we will make sure we get it on camera for u guys, but we cant race until after X-mas cause someone cough rob cough has his tires on his X-mas list, and that is another thing, he will be running foams and i will be running stock tires...... im not worried tho

doesnt matter what you do before you race...2wd will never ever beat 4wd in a race like this. i dont suck at driving...im easy on the throttle. but with the 4 tec since its 4wd you can floor it from a dead stop and not loose control, a jato you cant.

Your kidding about a quarter mile, right?
Id be suprised if either of them made it without exploding. Not too many nitro car engines like running wide open for extended periods unless you richen them up to combat the heat.
So if your tuned for performance and dragged the 1/4 mile, both vehicles would reach top speed and rpm in a few hundred feet so that gives you more than an 1/8th of a mile to run tached out...those traxxas engines would detonate!
I pretty sure an acurate guage of whose faster could be assessed in a MUCH shorter distance.
EDIT: I see Snellemin's post beat me to it!

I think that 1/4 mile is MUCH more than 132feet. 1,320 is more acurate. 1 mile is 5,000+ feet.

Oh and BTW, Miami, a 1/4 of a mile is a little longer than 132 feet.

1/10th scale 1/4 mile, written twice by the OP, and noted multiple times in this thread.

the 4 tec is lighter than a jato...unless your talkin bout the non-stock race. the non-stock race i will say either of you could win, but a stock race the jato has little if any chance

4tec has no worries here, especially on foam tyres. From the start he's gonna leave you (the Jato) standing, and you won't catch up. That's precluding driver ability. If you both pull the trigger all the way back from the line, it's gonna be a question of who can straighten out the car first, cos they'll both be all over the place. The 4tec will be able to get the power down faster though, that's for sure.
The foams on the 4wd, more aerodynamic, lighter 4tec will tell the tale, believe me. Tires are EVERYTHING, and 4wd on foams is as much grip as any car can have. Even with foams on the rear of the Jato, it's 2wd will let it down.
