JATO 4x4 VXL - ENGINEERED FOR DRIVERS
Jato 4X4 VXL rewrites the book on buggy performance with 60+ mph speed and laser-focused precision. An ultra-low-CG chassis with optimal weight distribution allows Jato 4X4 to corner on rails with predictable handling at every turn. Outfitted with Traxxas’ toughest Extreme HD components, Jato 4X4 is equipped to transform extreme 4s Velineon horsepower into all-day fun.
Extreme 4s Power
Jato 4X4 packs the same Velineon 540XL brushless motor found in the Maxx extreme monster truck. It’s the largest motor Traxxas has ever offered in a buggy, and it’s backed by a new VXL-4s speed control with built-in telemetry and selectable 6.0 or 7.4-volt BEC. With 4s LiPo power on tap, Jato 4X4 VXL defies the laws of physics as it rockets its way to 60 mph and beyond with unrelenting acceleration.
Track-Ready Handling
Jato 4X4 VXL sits low and wide, concentrating its weight below the driveshafts for razor-sharp handling and perfect weight distribution. Aluminum XX-long GTR shocks in the front and rear maximize traction by keeping Jato 4X4 VXL’s ultra-soft Response Pro tires in constant contact with the ground. Add the optional sway bar kit (sold separately) for flat cornering and game-changing track performance.
Extreme Strength
Factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty driveline and suspension components give Jato 4X4 VXL all the durability of Traxxas’ toughest offroad trucks. An aluminum T-Bar reinforces the chassis with Extreme HD shock towers to support the suspension. Huge Maxx-Duty driveshafts transform the 540XL motor’s brutal torque into massive 4-wheel roost without breaking a sweat.
Clipless Buggy Body
Jato 4X4 VXL’s form-fitted clipless body cuts through the wind and eliminates the parachuting effect for stable performance at speed. Tough clipless side latches hold the body securely in place but release in just seconds for fast battery swaps. Jato 4X4 VXL incorporates the high-downforce wing from Sledge to keep its chassis planted with rugged rollover protection as an added benefit.
Features
High-Downforce Wing
Jato 4X4 VXL's sleek, cab forward body incorporates Sledge's high-downforce wing for extra high-speed stability. Wedged side pods provide additional front downforce for increased steering response.
3" Dished Wheels with Response Pro Tires
Jato 4X4 VXL rides on large 3''; dished wheels with sticky S1-compound Response Pro buggy tires for game-changing traction and control. The outside row of spikes is contoured to provide just the right amount of side bite for smooth, predictable turn-in. The wheels' 17 mm hub design creates a large contact area for extra grip to resist rounding.
Heavy-Duty Shock Towers
Jato 4X4 VXL's heavy-duty shock towers are beefed up with double-shear link mounts and extra material to withstand rollovers without incident. The front shock caps are protected under reinforcing ridges and the molded wing locks directly into the rear tower for extra rigidity.
Aluminum T-Bar Chassis Stiffener
Jato 4X4 VXL borrows a page from Sledge's top-spec engineering with an ultra-rigid T-Bar chassis stiffener design made from tough 6061-T6 aluminum. The T-Bar delivers cross-sectional stiffness no round tube can match with a laser-etched Traxxas logo for extra style.
Extreme HD Suspension Components
The Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit comes factory-installed on Jato 4X4 VXL for ultimate strength and durability. The axle carriers, C-hubs, and steering blocks are beefed up with more material and stronger construction.
Waterproof Receiver Box
A waterproof receiver box keeps the receiver safe and dry while still allowing easy access for maintenance. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a patented water-tight seal for true all-weather fun.
5-Channel Receiver with Fail-Safe Security
The TQi 2.4 GHz radio system stores up to thirty models in memory, allowing you to use one transmitter for your entire RC garage. In the event of signal loss, the receiver automatically returns the throttle to neutral and holds the last steering position.
Digital Steering Servo
Agile handling requires a steering servo that's both strong and fast. The included 2075 digital high-speed, high-torque servo features ball bearings for precise control and quick reflexes.
Dual Bellcrank Steering with Servo Saver
The dual-bellcrank design pivots smoothly even in the harshest conditions. An integrated cam-type servo saver protects the steering servo from crash impacts without sacrificing steering precision.
Aluminum GTR Shocks
GTR shocks represent the peak of racing technology. The PTFE-coated aluminum shock bodies are color matched to the truck and hold over 70% more oil than Ultra Shocks for consistent damping. X-ring seals keep oil in and dirt out for smooth suspension action. Spring preload and ride height changes are as simple as turning the threaded collars.
Torque-Biasing Center Drive
The Torque-Biasing Center Drive absorbs shocks to improve driveline durability and distributes equal power to all four wheels for mind-bending acceleration. Unlike traditional center differentials which allow unloaded tires to balloon uncontrollably, the Torque-Biasing Center Drive delivers seamless power to all four wheels.
Sealed Steel-Gear Differentials
Sealed front and rear differentials utilize steel-gear internals for maximum durability. Silicone gaskets and X-ring seals allow you to tune the amount of locking action by varying the viscosity of the fluid inside the differentials.
