1:10 Scale Traxxas 2WD Nitro Stadium Truck JATO 3.3 TRA5509

1:10 Scale Traxxas 2WD Nitro Stadium Truck JATO 3.3 TRA5509


1:10 Scale Traxxas 2WD Nitro Stadium Truck JATO 3.3 TRA5509


Brand: Traxxas


It's the only way to describe it. Combine the extreme power of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine with the incredible Traxxas Jato and the results will leave you speechless. Stunning, jaw-dropping acceleration and face-distorting top speed propel Jato performance into the stratosphere. It's a power packed combination for excitement we couldn't resist. Bury the throttle and 60mph flies by in a mere 4.2 seconds. Top speed is over 65mph! 2nd gear wheelies. You bet! The integrated wheelie bar is included!

Jato 3.3's serious two-speed muscle power blows away typical purpose-built on-road cars, yet its suspension is versatile enough to take on the harsh realities of real-world pavement. Expansion joints, rocks, and even jumps are no problem for Jato's class-leading suspension travel. The big sticky Anaconda 2.8" treads and adjustable sway bars give Jato 3.3 tight, streetwise reflexes that don't require a mirror-smooth race course. When the pavement ends, Jato just keeps going. Its race-truck heritage gives it superior off-road capability. If you want to get serious at the dirt track, a simple tire change and Jato's TRX 3.3 Racing Engine belts out more muscle than most tracks can even hold.

Features:



  • Best-in-class acceleration, 0-60mph in less than 4.2 seconds!

  • Best-in-class top speed, 65+ mph!

  • The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine provides extreme power, brutal speed, and furious wheelie action.

  • Resonator blue-anodized aluminum tuned pipe is engineered with precision to enhance the performance of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine.

  • Front & rear sway bars provide superior handling and stability.

  • Super-sticky 2.8-inch Anaconda performance tires deliver asphalt-hugging street traction.

  • So fast, that the included wheelie bar is mandatory.

  • Incredible body graphics match the performance and speed of Jato 3.3.

  • Best in class suspension travel, 12mm more than other 2WD racing trucks!

  • Adjustable internal two-speed allows unmatched acceleration and top speed without compromise.

  • Sealed gearbox protects the two-speed and other sensitive transmission components from dirt and rocks.

  • Sealed, limited-slip gear differential is fully tunable with standard silicone differential oils. Ball differentials simply can’t compete for tunability, efficiency and reliability.

  • Our engineers went to extreme lengths to develop the unique bellcrank steering system geometry that completely eliminates bump steer. An integrated servo saver protects the steering servo.

  • Revo-style Torque-Control slipper clutch uses semi-metallic pads and heat-dissipating finned aluminum alloy pressure plates for smooth linear engagement and consistent traction control.

  • The semi-metallic brake disk provides smooth stopping power and virtually eliminates fade caused by heat build-up.

  • The Traxxas EZ-Start incorporates our latest revision of component and design technology to assure the most reliable operation. It is the only starting system to provide true, one-handed push-button engine starting. On-board diagnostics instantly troubleshoot any potential starting problems. EZ-Start is the safest and easiest starting system available.

  • The low-profile 75cc fuel tank is mounted in the center of the chassis to promote superior chassis balance and handling dynamics.

  • The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is mounted in the middle of the chassis allowing near perfect side-to-side weight distribution.

  • Double-shear connections are used on critical suspension linkage to prevent separation in a collision.

  • True constant-velocity U-joint driveshafts use rubber seals to maintain smooth, trouble-free performance. These operate at the most extreme deflection angles and allow for the most suspension travel. Optional metal constant velocity driveshafts are available that reduce rotating mass for racing conditions.

  • Tough, 3mm thick 6061 aluminum chassis plate is fully countersunk on the bottom, including the engine mounting screws.

  • Removable roll hoop helps protect critical chassis components and serves as a convenient carry handle.

  • Precision GTR (Revo-style) shocks with composite bodies provide smooth, consistent damping performance. Threaded shock bodies allow precise ride height adjustment.

  • Integrated "buggy style" dirt guards join with the body to form a tightly sealed barrier against dirt and rocks.

  • Enclosed radio box protects sensitive electronics from dirt and fuel spills.

  • Jato's exclusive 2-position receiver battery mounting (mid and rear) provides additional tuning options.

  • Precision metric hex hardware is used throughout.

  • Jato offers full suspension adjustability including caster, camber, toe, anti-squat, ride height, weight bias, and roll-center

  • Set-up DVD and full-color manual are included.

The Lazer ZX5 is the culmination of Kyosho's 15 years of experience with Electric 4WD off road cars. The Lazer was designed from the ground up as an off road electric buggy, not a 4WD on road sedan with longer arms and shocks. The shaft drive chassis is designed to promote weight balance left to right as well as the proper front to rear balance. The built in slipper clutch helps to smooth out the choppy tracks and helps damp harsh inputs to the drive train to keep it running run after run. Up front there are three options, ball differential, one-way and spool, plus you can use a center one-way on the drive shaft as well.



The ZX5 also comes stock with a rear sway bar and Kyosho's Twin-Cap Pro Shock for easy maintenance and threaded bodies make for a silky smooth suspension. Overall the Lazer ZX-5 is a race bred, competition 4WD electric buggy that is sure to put you at the head of the pack.
