Yeah I saw that. I didn’t know at the time but yeah it’s $529. But even that? I’m not sure how I feel about the price. I would probably feel differently if I had a track local to me. But for bashing at $529? Eh. I would rather buy an outcast 4s or get that redcat vigilante for $299 lol.
The VXL-6S wont fit in the Slash 4x4 chassis. And since they are using 1/8th wheels they dont want to overload the VXL 1/10th in 3S thus why its 2S only.
Over $500 and titled as built for drivers but no adjustable links has to be the craziest crap I've ever seen. I'm hype af but y'all BETTER give this version more adjustable parts if you want to claim it as built for drivers/racing
I think I just watched a video where someone mentioned you and your channel already making one years ago. It may have been a different channel. Did you do videos on it when you did it?
Glad they are finally making one!Price point is to much for what you are getting though in my opinion. No adjustability with the links. No tunability with the ESC, it’s all plastic and too lightweight to actually handle an eighth scale track properly and be competitive. Still need a better steering servo and I’m sure the list goes on. Really pumped on the buggy just now so much the price point. I feel like this is a super budget build and needs to be around the $449 price point at most. You’ll spend another or $300 getting parts just to get it to a good drivers standards.
I’m happy to see a new Jato after all these years my first RC was a jato at 14 years old now I’m 31 were is the nitro come on now traxxas?? You don’t have to save the Earth with all this electric stuff a little nitro won’t hurt nobody🤦🏾♂️
@PigglyWigglyDeluxe I've had one of these for a few years *cough* Backslash *cough* and it handles amazing with this chassis. I don't know if I would like it with the rustler chassis. I don't like my rustler 4x4 as much and my Backslash. But they definitely should have named it something else.
I prefer these honestly. Unless you’re a racer (this is a basher buggy let’s be honest) I’d rather not have to worry about my toe and camber coming out of adjustment.
@@IJumpRCIt’s because it’s called Jato. For some reason people can’t get over that fact. Yes, it should’ve been called a Bandit, but the name of the truck ultimately doesn’t matter.
@IJumpRC Because they pull a Traxxas move all the time. Why doesn't it come with a medal gear servo straight out of the box. Sway bars sold separately when they act like it's a race buggy lol. List goes on. Saying joke is probably the wrong word, but for the money, Traxxas gotta step it up and quit just being a rtr brand banking off option parts. By the time you buy the things this car should come out of the box with your looking at close to 700 bucks. I'm sure it's a fun car, but the price is the issue, and their business tactics.
I've raced SCT 2 an 4 wheel slash spec class. Totally fun don't get me wrong. I think it would be good for company's progression to boost rc even further.
@INSIDIOUS-ONE Your answer doesn't make sense! Traxxas was heavy in the race scene, probably before you were born! Look up Rick Vehlow! Personally I'd love to see Traxxas get back into competitive RC! It's awesome to see something different then the status quo! Look at Kyosho and Jared Tebo!
Traxxas ignoring there nitro fans and giving us this is just a mean trick. Give it a different name or give as a nitro buggy . this is not a JATO at all
@derekmast142 So, Jato is an acronym for Jet Assisted Take Off. The owner thought it represented that name. I sell Traxxas for a living, that's where my info lies. I talk to Traxxas every day. Believe me, I told them how stupid it is!
@whitemike2890 it's only stupid till there is a nitro version .21 or even .25 something. We had both electric and nitro rustler , slash ,stamped had the T maxx3.3 and the X maxx . it just seems like a let down there isn't even a nitro version.
The haters tears on here are unbelievable, could have called it a bandit 4x4 dont really care I'll still be getting one. Thank you Traxxas you will continue to get my money.
Well with them adding the extreme heavy duty kit to everything. They are all becoming a lot better. It comes down to personal preference. And as a xmaxx , max, sledge , xo1 , 4tec owner my favorite is my rustler 4x4 Vxl lol.
Traxxas committee for naming the new buggy, OK guys what do we name this thing? (First guy) bandit 4x4? (Lead project manger) no we need something new and more hip. Random (janitor) I'm gonna go dust off that backstock of Jatos. (Lead manger) perfect!
I feel like the 2s Jato is like buying a Jeep Wrangler Sport instead of the Rubicon... Save money, get the bones and build it up how you want to... or buy the version that's pretty much done, but might not have all the parts you want on it.
In all honesty Traxxas, why the Jato 4x4, and not the Bandit 4x4? Renamed car that was originally a 2wd nitro stadium truck...btw thanks for finally making a backslash with the Raptor R longer chassis.🤦
I can't lie even a lot bit. This is wildly disappointing. Was expecting a jato, not another buggy to further dilute the formula. It's a sin to call this "racing" (basher) buggy a jato
i need a ntiro truggy traxxes come you guys should know better but i like this buggy looks awesome hopefully you guys can sponsor me one to race with in south Africa
So you guys weakened the value of the Jato name with this nonsense, and you continue to leave nothing to the aftermarket. This is option paralysis and can’t possibly be sustainable long term. Too many models!
The Jato in its original Stadium Truck form was a useless vehicle good only for straight line performance. This will be better as a basher, even if it won't compete with established 8th scale buggies. There is a reason I still have my Jammin X1Cr FTE, and X1 CRT Pro. They are old now, but still great on track and when bashing.
@@wjrneo2 Jato in its original form was awesome, one of the fastest nitro trucks in its prime. There’s a reason why I still have a Jato, and drive it regularly. It’s my favorite Nitro.
This is cool but why would yall not design this on the sledge platform? It would definitely be much more comparable to other 1/8th scale buggies on the market then.
Another Slash chassis design? That the people are still buying that money sink design. Now that the E-Revo 2 and Summit are gone, the only good design that is left is that of the Maxx family, unless you're into scale stuff.
Please bring back the e revo 2.0 or a 3.0. The 2.0 is a freakishly durable platform. Put an aluminum rear brace in stock and maybe some limiting straps. Best basher ever.
Cool, a ‘BackSlash’ - I made one of these 12 years ago.
You absolutely called it, bro.
I'm glad they engineered this car you can drive, for drivers. I hate when RC cars are engineered for drivers who don't drive cars. Brilliant
😂
Kyosho laughs with the track performance, BUT I respect that you move forward!kudos
Comment I was looking for the hell traxxas tryna get Ona track for 😂😂
Well this makes wayyy more sense. The 2s version confuses me.
Agreed. For me it’s too pricey for what you get. But ima guess this one will be $599 hopefully closer to the $499 mark.

Well said.
Literally about to say the same thing
They’ll definitely be sold separately, I see optional sway bars are already confirmed, but still. That’s pretty basic race buggy hardware
Yea, I bet the likes of kyosho, xray, team associated and tekno are quivering in their boots at this new release from traxxas....... 😂
Well obviously they want more money from you, so the upgraded adjustable links will be separate and probably $40 front and $40 rear.
I feel like I've already had this traxxas model for years now except I had to build it myself. 😂
I think I just watched a video where someone mentioned you and your channel already making one years ago. It may have been a different channel. Did you do videos on it when you did it?
@familyrc777 really wow ya I did I have several videos of it.
That’s awesome! The same thing with the Mudboss , someone made it before Traxxas.
Which a better name for it than Jato or Mudboss imo.
With the torque bias center diff?
Glad they are finally making one!Price point is to much for what you are getting though in my opinion. No adjustability with the links.

Everything needs a better steering servo. I've never seen an RTR with a good one. Either its too slow, too weak, or worse both.

We just got the winner of most overpriced truck of 2024. Congrats Traxxas
$350 doesn't seem overpriced.
@@tac12321ifyfor a 2s capable plastic platform with next to no adjustable parts and peaks at no more than 35 mph? I beg to differ.

I knew it was only a matter of time before you guys came out with a 4x4 buggy!
Cant wait to get the VXL one, Sick Buggies!
This is great filming! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's a pink one!!!! 👀 I need itttt!! Awesome job traxxas! 🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait to get one!
Thank you Traxxas!!! This is exactly what I’ve been wanting you guys to build for years. I look forward to January.
'Engineered for 'Learner' Drivers'.
Even some of the cheapest Chinese products have adjustable turnbuckles 🤷♂

Traxxas is like Call of duty now, I grew up with em but this is a joke and slap to the fans.
Why is it a joke...? they've got something for everyone. If you don't like it, get something that fits your style.

Awesome 🤙😎
This is the one I want.Let's go
I love my 3.3, however, I have a feeling this VXL version is going to be amazing so I WILL be getting one! ❤❤❤
I'd rather buy a Team Corally Buggy ! Enough said!!
Non adjustable links on a $500 car is a little greedy. How much more would it really cost you guys compared to how happy it would make your customers
Cool 4x4 Bandit
Wow looks amazing 😊 😊
Awesome video again guyz! Thanks for sharing this with us. 😁👍🏼
Excellent 😮
Why not call it Bandit 4x4 VXL?
Perfekt video Dankeschön 👍👍👍
Much like crabs, the 8th scale buggy is the final evolutionary form of all land based RC cars.
EVERYONE just wait for the Jato 4x4 ULTIMATE with all the upgraded parts.
I would love to see some lap times compared to some established eight scale buggies.

Super cool Rc 🥸💯🚘 Awesome video Traxxas
There goes this week's $$$$ i knew that would happen as soon as I pressed that " Traxxas take my money " play button. 😅
Great job with everything but tha name! Love you guyz! Lol!
4s Nice!
Now your talking traxxas. I'll wait for this one 👍
They haven't updated the Jato for a while. Also what is the best Traxxas car? In your guys's opinion.
Well with them adding the extreme heavy duty kit to everything. They are all becoming a lot better. It comes down to personal preference. And as a xmaxx , max, sledge , xo1 , 4tec owner my favorite is my rustler 4x4 Vxl lol.

Nobody forgot it

must be pro drivers they were steezy
but will the 6700 4s battery fit though?
nope. Also, probably too heavy even if it did.. The 5000-4S fit just right.

Nice 👍
Looks cool, but can you race with it??
Jato 4x4 3.3 traxxas?
Damn, I can't believe Traxxas finally came out with an 1/8 buggy only 30 years late. Now where the f*** is your Big screen high end Transmitter?
not a jato unless its nitro
