KEY FEATURES
 |
| Traxxas Jato RC Car |
Amazing Power
The Traxxas Jato is rocketed by the TRX 3.3 Racing engine that is positioned in the center of the chassis for even weight distribution.
The TRX 3.3 can deliver speeds over 60 mph, this beast can reach 60 mph in 4.2 seconds.
Proper engine break in is extremely important for maximum performance and pro-longed engine life.
The Jato is also capable of pulling off wheelies in second gear, so the included wheelie bar is a necessity for sure.
To achieve maximum horsepower a tuned blue anodized pipe is included.
A 75cc fuel tank contains the nitro fuel to feed this hungry animal. This one's definitely not for a beginner, it will take some experience to keep this beast under control.
EZ Start

| EZ Start Starting System |
The safe and convenient EZ Start push button electric starting system makes bringing your Traxxas Jato engine to life a breeze, simply plug the hand held unit into the starting port, once engaged press the red start button, the EZ Start system will heat the glow plug, and the drive unit will roll the engine over.
EZ start uses smart technology to monitor and sensor starting activity, and diagnoses problems for a trouble free starting experience.
TSM Traxxas Stability Management
On-board the Traxxas Jato is the innovative TSM system. How does it work ?
Traxxas engineers utilized a new receiver in combination with a TQi transmitter, equipped with a multi function knob that can be dialed in to provide more or less stability assistance depending on the amount that is needed or desired, without interfering with your driving adventure, throttle, speed, or acceleration.
TSM assists the driver with tracking to keep the vehicle on course and straight, while cornering TSM makes corrections to maintain your heading, but allows you to bury the throttle earlier for faster exit speeds, when braking TSM keeps your model straight until is comes to a complete stop.
TSM works to maintain your line when encountering slippery surfaces, like snow, ice, or even loose soil.
TQi 2.4GHz Radio
The Traxxas Jato is controlled and managed with a long range, high output, TQi 2.4GHz radio system with a number of tuning features.
The TQi is capable of handling the Traxxas Link Wireless Module, that can be teamed up with an Apple iOS or android for viewing real time telemetry with the pre-installed on board telemetry sensors.
With Traxxas Link you can store up to 30 models in its memory bank.
3 telemetry ports are available with the 5 channel receiver.
Comments from Owners
Fast out of the box. Make sure you break in the engine properly ! (If you fail to do so expect repairs)
Need to be an experienced driver.......Fast ! (Not recommended for a beginner) break in and tuning are easy with this model.
They are not lying when it comes to speed ! Fast !
Stock Tires are not real effective on grass or soil.
Like the fact that the radio has variable steering rates......a must for an R/C vehicle that is fast
ADVANTAGES
Extremely Fast
2 Speed Transmission (Power to pull off long standing wheelies)
TSM -Assist's driver with handling
Wide array of tuning and adjustment options to maximize performance
Pre- Installed Telemetry Sensors
Comes Ready to Run (after break-in of course)
DISADVANTAGES
Not for beginners. Rated a skill level 5
No reverse feature
Final Thoughts
No doubt the Traxxas Jato is one of the quickest nitro models on the market. The pro's far outweigh the con's, overall this has been a top performer in the Traxxas lineup. I have just touched on a small number of the key features on the Jato but the feature list on this model is quite lengthy.
