All the fine details
The Speed Legend. Reinvented.
For years, the name "Jato" meant one thing: terrifying 2WD speed. The new Traxxas Jato 4X4 VXL takes that DNA and evolves it into a laser-focused 1/8 scale 4WD buggy. This isn't just a straight-line missile anymore; itās a corner-carving machine powered by the massive Velineon 540XL motor (the same one found in the Maxx monster truck).
Imagine the brutal torque of a monster truck packed into a lightweight, ultra-low-CG buggy chassis. The result is acceleration that defies physics and handling that feels like it's on rails. Whether you're hitting the local track or turning a parking lot into a gymkhana course, the Jato 4X4 VXL delivers 60+ MPH thrills with the durability to back it up.
Why You'll Love It:
-
4S "Big Block" Power: Powered by the VXL-4sā¢ ESC and the 2400kV 540XL motor, this buggy puts down unmatched torque. It hits 60+ MPH effortlessly and stays cool while doing it.
-
Precision Handling: The low center of gravity, aluminum T-Bar chassis brace, and oil-filled GTR shocks keep the Jato planted. It doesn't just survive corners; it attacks them.
-
Extreme HD Durability: This is a race buggy built with basher toughness. It comes factory-installed with the Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit, including steel C-hubs, Maxx-Duty driveshafts, and 17mm aluminum hexes.
-
Track-Ready Rubber: Forget generic bash tires. The Jato 4X4 comes with Response Pro S1-compound tires on 3" dished wheels for razor-sharp grip on hard-packed surfaces.
