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.
