Traxxas JATO 4x4 Brushless is HERE! 1/8 Race Basher RC Buggy

[@RazorRC]

I made a mistake on the price, it's $349.95 in the U.S., this video was made before the buggy's price was officially announced.

[@shawnscott9704]

This could be perhaps the single most embarrassing release of Traxxas to date? I’m not joking either

[@angkorpeck]

With the new overpriced Mini Maxx and this 2s 8th scale 😂 looks like Traxxas is surrendering instead of competing.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Yeah a 2s 1/8 scale is just the 2nd dumbest scam to get your brainwashed customers to throw away the sh*tty electronics immediately. #1 dumbest thing would be make it brushed. Seriously, #1 reason I don't buy Traxxas is their proprietary bullsh*t #2 reason is they don't sell rollers and their electronics are trash And their warranty people lie to you and try to blame everything on the user. At least they were smart enough not to put fake speed claims on the box. Which is also sad, because they knew they couldn't even claim "30+MPH" like they usually do with their "budget" RCs. What a waste of raw materials. Not like I don't hate brushed electronics, but this is the next worst thing to brushed: trash 2s systems that basically, Traxxas knows everyone will throw in the garbage immediately. Traxxas fanboys are some of the most brainwashed zealots. No offense, Razor RC. I assume you want RC to make content to grow the channel, but this RC blows goats. Dead goats.

[@barbedwirerat661]

Seriously, and when that 3S Typhon goes on sale as it seems to do at least once per year, it is one of the best values in RC. That said and out of the way, I'm not the biggest fan of these "1/8 buggies" that are really just 1/10 trucks masquerading as 1/8 scale buggies, kinda dilutes the concept of what a traditional 1/8 buggy is.

[@johnnystrand8433]

​@@barbedwirerat661An 8th scale buggy is the same size as a 10th scale SCT.

[@barbedwirerat661]

@@johnnystrand8433 That aligns with my point actually. Same footprint, but the 1/10 SCT is a much lighter build with less robust components from the electronics to the plastics, fasteners, links, etc. Likewise, this Jato and the T3S are 1/8 scale in outer dimensions only but they are based on a 1/10 scale platform.

Traxxas' videos on their KZbin page show that they are coming out with a 4s version with the 540xl motor. If this is $350, I can only imagine how expensive the 4s version will be... This one would be great to get kids into buggies, but the price seems a bit high for 2s. The only saving grace for Traxxas here is that parts availability is going to be good.

This is crazy Arrma had the from blx line now and there shit is 200$ and under and can do 3s and 55mph that the hell is traxxas doing that jato should be like 180 $ 3:39 at most 2s? Cmon 400$ this is ridiculous I like traxxas but I’m starting lean more towards arrma lately due to being more durable for the money

[@RobertNES816]

The Jato should've been on a shorter Sledgehammer chassis. Right now this just looks like everyone's backslash project.

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

Those shock towers look WEAK.

[@Facts-R-Real]

The epitome of Traxxas. Lol

[@eliflynn7282]

Overpriced

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Rather get the mini Maxx and some upgrades

[@alanlocklear4951]

Redcat valkyrie TR/mt is 4s for $299 ive got the mt and love it

[@romper4444]

Is the bl-2s system meant to replace the brushed 1st release models Traxxas always does and the titan 550 is gone for good? And then they release the vxl system after or is this is the vxl models replacement to cheap out. Also are these 2s system models priced the same as a brushed system woulda been?

[@Yan7001978]

I've got a 3665 hobbywing in my tool box. Do you think this will fit?

[@LyroLife]

Of course it will. Even a 4274 will still fit. Only difficulty is getting the ESC in. But possibly.

[@brendancurtin252]

vxl and TQI would definitely be needed for this to be of interest

[@proraptor4146]

Its a no from me especially after seeing the price. You are much better off going with the arrma typhon 3s....Arrma groms go just as fast lol

[@Adam.Morrison]

Are the front and rear shocks the same length?

[@TheChadimal]

Wow does it fly? That wing is over powering lol.

[@CODACAIN76]

Just look @ the body itself😢

[@bogdanplosca2413]

A TC Asuga kit is 440..A mojave 4s is 400..typhon 3s 330 euros..all better cars..expensive for what it offers

[@Dankerkitty]

For one they need to rename it, second why is traxxas obsessed with 2s on everything? They cost enough should at least be 3s out the gate

[@SuppleBun]

mmm yes, very interesting new traxxas buggy. however, arrma typhon 3s

[@jesusrosasrc214]

FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS WHATT let me guess a 3s brushless is going to be what 700 dollars

[@mxthunder2]

price is $350. confirmed.

[@TIGWeldingCreations]

Sucks we have to wait for the 4s version. I guess you could take out the electronics and put a for just a minute and then upgrade the driveshaft to an aluminum one.

[@nicko2222]

350$ for this is diabolical
