TRX 3.3 Racing Engine™
The TRX® 3.3 Racing Engine draws from the Traxxas heritage of engine
design and manufacturing. 14-years of nitro engine development have
culminated into the most powerful TRX engine ever made, the new TRX 3.3
Racing Engine. It embodies everything we’ve learned from over a decade
of making engines more powerful, more reliable, and easier to use. The
TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is so powerful it establishes a whole new
classification of power…. Extreme Power!
The TRX 3.3 produces an extreme 60% more peak horsepower compared to the
TRX 2.5! The overall power under the curve is nearly 50% greater to
deliver the smooth, linear power output TRX engines are famous for. The
TRX 3.3 Racing Engine offers thoroughbred race engine performance that’s
absolutely second to none.
There’s
no penalty to pay for having more power either. The TRX 3.3 Racing
Engine is equipped with EZ-Start® push-button electric starting and
simple, reliable tuning from the two-needle composite slide carburetor.
Plus it’s backed by the support and reliability you expect from Traxxas
including the Exclusive
Lifetime
Engine Replacement Plan. |

Resonator™
blue-anodized aluminum tuned pipe
The Traxxas Resonator aluminum tuned pipe is precision engineered and
dyno tested to optimize the power output of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine.
The result is linear power output that delivers searing acceleration and
top speed. |
| |
Front
and Rear Sway Bars
The front and rear sway bars make sure that the Jato 3.3 maintains the
most stability possible, by reducing body roll and sway. Additionally,
the sway bars improve cornering traction, and transitional steering
response. They are fully adjustable with three different bar weights to
tune for maximum cornering speed. |
| |
Anaconda™
Performance Tires
Anacondas feature a specifically engineered rubber compound that stands
up to asphalt for long life and provides sticky traction on slick street
surfaces. Anaconda’s contoured molded foam inserts couple with the
directional tread to provide the stability needed for ultimate
high-speed on-road running. The Anaconda tires are extremely versatile
providing great performance off-road too. Performance that surpasses
on-road sedans, paired with stadium truck ground clearance, will have
you hopping curbs to show off, on-road and off. |
| |
Wheelie
Bar
The Jato 3.3 comes with an integrated stock wheelie bar because the
horsepower of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine makes it mandatory equipment!
The broad linear power output of the 3.3 engine delivers wheels-up power
at almost any speed, making the Jato 3.3 one furiously fun wheelie
machine. |
|
Multi-Color
ProGraphix™ Body
Available in red, blue, yellow, and red-yellow, Jato has a sleek, low,
aerodynamic body that’s needed to maintain stability at its 65+mph top
speed. The hot new graphics look fast standing still. The rear wing is there
to stay with countersunk aluminum hardware to maintain a smooth finish and
unmatched strength. |
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. |
|
|
Super-Duty
Sealed Driveshafts
The super-duty sealed driveshafts are lightweight, and require almost no
maintenance. The true, constant velocity design allows huge deflection
angles not possible with conventional shafts, perfect for Jato’s class
leading suspension travel. Rubber seals keep out performance-robbing
dirt for smooth consistent running. |
|
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. |
|
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 style dirt 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. |
|
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. |
