Jato goes beyond ordinary 2WD racing trucks, delivering unexpected features and innovation that sets a new standard for performance. Jato takes full advantage of its powerful Traxxas family lineage by incorporating many of the same design features and concepts developed for the ground-breaking Revo monster truck. Revo’s DNA is evident in the innovative engineering, quality feel, and higher performance standards.

How much money and time will you need to spend in order to attempt to equal Jato performance levels? Why bother? Jato is a complete package that starts with the highest level of engineering; a professional setup and tuning DVD to acquaint you to starting, racing, and maintenance; is equipped stock with the most powerful Ready-to-Race® engine available; bolsters your confidence knowing that you own the best-performing truck in the market; and finally, is backed by a team of professionals who aim to provide the highest level of factory support possible. Jato is about experiencing total performance and satisfaction, not just in the truck but also with the company that stands behind it.
Sealed Limited Slip Differential The sealed limited slip gear differential can be precisely tuned with lighter or heavier lube for maximizing rear traction and cornering performance. Superior silicone-seals are used for reliable sealing. Unlike a ball differential, Jato’s sealed-gear differential never slips or wanders out of adjustment, and it is virtually maintenance free. It’s definitely the best solution for the demands of a high-performance truck like Jato. You get all the benefits of an adjustable limited slip differential without all the maintenance hassle of a ball diff. Jato’s transmission design provides easy access to the differential. Just remove four screws and the rear cover and there it is. Trackside tuning is fast and easy.
Torque Control™ Slipper Clutch The Torque Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent traction control. The semi-metallic friction material remains stable across a wide temperature range to provide smooth, linear engagement you can count on, lap after lap. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering the slipper adjustment. A center ball bearing maintains precise, long-lasting alignment with near friction-free running and virtually zero maintenance. Originally developed for Revo, the Torque Control slipper is more than tough enough for Jato. Only Traxxas has it!
Zero Bump Steer Steering Geometry Bump steer occurs when the steering angle of the front wheels changes as the suspension moves up and down through its range of travel. Suspensions that have bump steer make it difficult to drive in a straight line over bumpy terrain. Jato benefited from specialized computer modeling technology developed for Revo to engineer steering geometry that completely eliminates bump steer. Jato tracks true no matter how tough the course gets. Jato’s unique bellcrank steering system has an integrated servo saver for precise feel and tight steering response.
GTR™ Shocks GTR shocks were developed to handle the rigorous damping needs of the Revo, a full-size mega suspension travel monster truck. Jato is equipped with superior damping capability that can be finely tuned for any track condition. High tech composite shock bodies reduce weight to a minimum and provide super-smooth internal surface finishes for damping that feels like liquid silk. Computer-analyzed body size and volume maintains optimum oil temperature and the most consistent oil viscosity. Traxxas’ unique Silicone X-seals provide superior sealing with less friction than typical O-ring seals. GTR shocks are equipped with volume compensating air bladders that keep out the air and stop oil foaming. Convenient, threaded spring pre-load adjusters make it easy to fine tune the ride height.
Class-leading Suspension Travel One of the keys to Jato’s superior handling characteristics is class-leading suspension travel. If the suspension bottoms out or runs out of travel it can no longer do its job and control is severely diminished. Jato’s super long suspension arms reach out to deliver up to 12mm more travel than typical 2WD racing trucks. More travel means increased stability, more control, and better handling over rough terrain. Jump higher, go farther and let Jato’s suspension do the work.
Precision Close-Ratio Two-Speed Transmission Jato raises the bar by being the first 2WD nitro racing truck to offer an autoshifting, close-ratio 2-speed that is fully enclosed, sealed, and completely integrated with the transmission. Class-leading acceleration is combined with class-leading top speed, all without any performance compromise. The shift point is adjustable to maximize Jato’s acceleration potential. A drop-in single speed option is also available. The transmission is light and compact with a low rotating mass internal assembly for quick, high-revving performance.
Rubber-Sealed Ball Bearings Precision rubber-sealed bearings offer the ultimate in super low-friction performance and maximum protection in dirt & nitro environments. They are used in all exposed locations on the truck and are virtually maintenance free.
Large Diameter Disc Brake Powerful braking is provided by a unique, semi-metallic friction disc and tough metal calipers. The semi metallic friction material is superior to graphite and nylon materials. It was to practically eliminate fade in long nitro racing events and provide smooth engagement with consistent braking performance. Jato lets you brake later and dive harder into the corners.
Pre-Glued 2.8” Victory™ Tires Jato is all about maximizing performance, so a new 2.8 inch tire and wheel standard was developed to allow lower sidewall heights and more responsive tires. Jato comes with new Victory series track-tuned tires that are pre-glued to the rims. Special foam inserts maintain tire shape and firmness for superior traction. Jato can also accept standard ROAR legal 2.2" rims and tires (sold separately). Just bolt them on!
Low-Profile Fuel Tank The low-profile 75cc fuel tank design provides more consistent fuel pressure and flow as the fuel level in the tank changes. It’s baffled and sumped to prevent sloshing and fuel starvation, and a built-in bronze sintered filter keeps clean fuel flowing. Rubber mounts isolate engine vibrations to prevent foaming. The integrated pull handle allows fast easy fuel stops that don’t require lifting or removing the body. A unique integrated spill guard directs fuel spillage to the ground, away from the chassis.
Hex Hardware Pro-quality, high-grade, metric hex-drive hardware is used throughout for extra strength, and easy maintenance and repair. The black-oxide rust-resistant finish provides a high tech look and feel.
Integrated Dual Position Power System On most 2WD nitro trucks it seems like incorporating the batteries to power the radio system is an afterthought in the design process. Jato has thoughtfully integrated the battery placement into the design of the truck. Only Jato has two options for battery placement; mid placement in the center of the chassis or the more traditional rear placement behind the rear shock tower. Battery placement becomes another tuning tool in your arsenal to either enhance rear traction or promote more positive steering. Jato can accept AA dry cells or rechargeable receiver packs. If you use a rechargeable pack such as the Traxxas RX Power system, a handy charge jack has been built into the chassis top plate.
Double-Shear Connections Jato continues Traxxas’ excellent standards for durability by providing captured double-shear connections on all critical suspension linkage. Jato also utilizes captured rod ends to eliminate the risk of a race-ending pop off common with standard ball cup connectors.
Hardened-Steel Suspension Pins Jato uses captured, hardened-steel suspension pins that eliminate troublesome e-clips and allows fast, easy suspension service.
Integrated Dirt Guards Jato’s design incorporates features that provide superior protection from the elements. Buggy styledirt guards are attached to the sides of the chassis. The body fits tightly against the dirt guards providing an effective barrier to keep out dirt, grime, and kicked up rocks. Enclosed radio boxes on the chassis protect the sensitive electronics from dirt and fuel spills.
