The Traxxas JATO is an exciting stadium truck that leads the pack in terms of performance and features.  The Traxxas JATO is capable of speeds in excess of 55MPH!  That crazy fast speed combined with Traxxas quality and reliability and advanced features means the competition is in trouble!

The heart of the JATO is the TRX 2.5 engine that provides big power in a small block package.  The TRX 2.5 engine can scream up to speeds approaching 50,000RPM!  A specially tuned exhaust system helps maximize power output.  Features like a 2 speed transmission gives the Traxxas JATO strong acceleration also blazing top speeds.  The JATO is packed with advanced features that help put this truck in the front of the pack. 

A long travel suspension helps to soak up the bumps and offer great handling.  The JATO comes equipped with precision shocks to help keep all that suspension travel under control.  A sealed limited slip differential helps put the power down to both wheels.  The number of features this truck offers is impressive!

More Features of the Traxxas JATO Truck

• Best in class acceleration, best in class top speed, 55+ mph, & best in class suspension travel (12mm more than other 2WD racing trucks)!
   
• Adjustable internal 2-speed transmission allows unmatched acceleration and top speed without compromise.
   
• Traxxas JATO has sealed gearbox protects the 2-speed and other sensitive transmission components from dirt and rocks.
   
• Sealed, limited-slip gear differential is fully tunable with standard silicone shock oils. Ball differentials can’t compete for tunability, efficiency and reliability.
   

• Traxxas engineers went to extreme lengths to develop the unique bellcrank steering system geometry that completely eliminates bump steer. An integrated servo saver protects the JATO steering servo.
   
• Revo™-style Torque-Control™ slipper clutch uses semi-metallic pads and heat-dissipating finned aluminum alloy pressure plates for smooth linear engagement and consistent traction control on the Traxxas JATO.
   
• The semi-metallic brake disk provides smooth stopping power and helps reduce fade caused by heat buildup.
   
• Award-winning power for the JATO comes from the TRX 2.5 Racing Engine™.
   
• The Traxxas EZ-Start™ incorporates our latest revision of component and design technology to assure the most reliable operation. It is the only starting system to provide true, one-handed push-button engine starting. On-board diagnostics instantly troubleshoot any potential starting problems. EZ-Start is the safest and easiest starting system available.
  
  Dyno-tuned pipe and header have been designed to enhance the bottom end performance of the engine’s operating range. Length adjustments to the header and a variety of selection in Traxxas Thruster™ line of pipes allow you to refocus the engine’s sweet spot to favor mid-range or top-end performance. 
   
• The low-profile 75cc fuel tank is mounted in the center of the chassis to promote superior chassis balance and handling dynamics.
   

• The TRX 2.5 Racing Engine is mounted in the middle of the chassis allowing near perfect side-to-side weight distribution.
   
• Double-shear connections are used on critical JATO suspension linkage to prevent separation in a collision.
   
• True constant-velocity U-joint driveshafts use rubber seals to maintain smooth, trouble-free performance. These operate at the most extreme deflection angles and allow for the most suspension travel. Optional metal constant velocity driveshafts are also available for the Traxxas JATO that reduce rotating mass for racing conditions.
   
• Tough, 3mm thick 6061 aluminum chassis plate is fully countersunk on the bottom - even the engine mounting screws.
   
• The Traxxas JATO removable roll hoop helps protect critical chassis components and serves as a convenient carry handle.
   
• Precision GTR™ (Revo-style) shocks with composite bodies provide smooth, consistent damping performance. Threaded shock bodies allow precise ride height adjustment.
  Integrated “buggy style” dirt guards join with the body to form a tightly sealed barrier against dirt and debris.
   
• Enclosed radio box protects sensitive electronics from dirt and fuel spills.
   
• Jato’s exclusive 2-position receiver battery mounting (mid and rear) provides additional tuning options.
   
• Pre-glued low-profile racing tires on new 2.8” rims. The horizontal bead design helps hold the tire to the rim.  Also accepts standard 2.2 racing wheels and tires.
   
•  Jato offers full suspension adjustability including caster, camber, toe, anti-squat, ride height, weight bias, and roll-center.

As you can see, this truck is really loaded with features!  If you want one of the best stadium trucks ever offered, then look no farther than the Traxxas JATO!
