Jato 4X4 VXL 60+ mph 4WD Buggy RTR R/C (Orange)

Jato® 4X4 VXL rewrites the book on buggy performance with 60+ mph speed and laser-focused precision. An ultra-low-CG chassis with optimal weight distribution allows Jato 4X4 to corner on rails with predictable handling at every turn. Outfitted with Traxxas’ toughest Extreme HD components, Jato 4X4 is equipped to transform extreme 4s Velineon® horsepower into all-day fun.

 

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(TM) 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. Jato 4x4 VXL is purpose-built for 4s power with Traxxas' toughest Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit pre-installed. These massively reinforced suspension and driveline components work together as a complete package to give Jato 4x4 VXL unparalleled strength. Combined with Traxxas' HD suspension arms, Jato 4x4 VXL delivers next-level durability on and off the track.

 

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. Jato 4x4 VXL's rugged clipless latching system delivers secure body mounting for maximum track speed and 60 mph speed runs. Four rigid clips hold the body tightly to the chassis, but release in just seconds. Battery changes are fast and easy with no body clips to lose.

 

Low-CG Chassis

Jato 4x4 VXL's long wheelbase and wide track width keep it planted in the corners for exceptional high-speed precision. The innovative low-CG chassis concentrates weight below the driveshafts for neutral handling and maximum agility.
