Traxxas lastest model to hit the scene is the traxxas jato. It is the fastest and most powerful 2 wheel drive stadium truck. It features a lot of the technology from the revo. It has blistering 55mph+ speeds and also has 12mm more suspenion travel than any other stadium truck.

So Revo is to Jato as TMaxx is to SMaxx?
Wonder if there'll be reverse/4wd modules available?
Saw a bit on it in April's RCCA, but can't remember if there was...

Traxxas have only a few upgrades nothing about a reverse module tough, but known Traxxas I wouldnt be surprised. :cool:
Here are the list of accessories:
1 Single speed conversion kit
2 Low Mass Metal Constant Velocity driveshafts
3 Aluminum Turnbuckles
4 Sway Bar Kit
As soon as the car comes to shops Traxxas will be making a lot more Im sure

OK just checked again , it isn't a 2wd version of the Revo, looks like they've applied whatever R&D process that built the Revo to a 2wd stadium truck. I doesn't have the F1 style inboard shock of the revo, but 4 oversize shocks...

Its just like the nitro Rustler with everything changed except the engine and exaust. It proberly be the best stadium truck by far ever to hit the RC market.

I think your being a bit premature saying it will be the best truck ever when its not out for 2 months.

I "love" the comparison tests, showing Traxxas exceeds everything else.

Independent tests conducted by respected international scientists .......
or maybe the sales department did the measuring instead ....

I bet they really killed themselves getting the best performance from the "other brands" ...

Let's put it to music for effect ....
Traxxas, Traxxas uber alles ..... uh oh ... getting carried away again ... got to lie down.

no doubt it'll be super popular, but that's not saying it'll be the best...
@coolwings: maybe the company site wasn't the best place to post as an independent review..

RCCA have some info on it as well...

Apparently stadium trucks are only aloud to have 1 gear not a 2 speed transmission if they are in a race in America. I think the jato has a lock out nut that stops it shifting to the 2nd gear and you can losen it to add in the 2 speed.Theres no races here in Ireland so who cares.
