Power, Technology, ConvenienceTraxxas models are the best-selling and most award-winning radio controlled (R/C) cars and trucks in hobby stores. We have been building them like this for over two decades. Our reputation for quality, performance, and innovation is second to none!
The Best in R/C: Traxxas models are fully assembled and Ready-To-Race.® Years ago, Traxxas pioneered the concept of a high-quality radio controlled kit that came professionally assembled by experienced experts and Ready-To-Drive,® right out of the box. Hundreds of thousands of cars later, Traxxas builds them better than anyone. We make models in all price ranges, nitro and electric, that can match any need or experience level. No matter which one you buy, each is a great entertainment value that’s loaded with fun and performance.
Durable: Traxxas models are known for being durable for the first-time driver. Our years of experience allow us to make products that can withstand the stunts and crashes that we know a first-time driver is going to dish out. A Traxxas model is designed for years of enjoyment, not just a week or two. No one has done more than Traxxas to create fun designs that make it easy for anyone to get started in the great R/C hobby.
Innovative: Traxxas models are also innovative for the experienced driver or racer. A team of dedicated engineers, specialists, and machinists at our Plano, Texas facility work together to create the world’s most advanced, innovative, and fun-to-drive radio controlled performance machines. Traxxas products are created by enthusiasts who demand nothing less than ultimate performance, elevating ready-to-run to Ready-To-Race.®
Upgradable: Traxxas models can be accessorized and upgraded with hundreds of different parts and accessories, both from Traxxas and aftermarket manufacturers. Individuals can custom-tailor the speed, handling, and appearance of our models to suit their needs. A Traxxas model is built for years of interesting and fun new ideas and creativity.
Customer Support: We offer the best support, period. We have friendly toll-free phone support that’s available from 8:30am to 9pm central time weekdays. Just call 1-888-TRAXXAS. We also offer e-mail support anytime at [email protected]. Parts and service are also available from a network of 2,000+ hobby dealers worldwide. Traxxas models are about experiencing total performance and satisfaction, not just in the products, but also with the company that stands behind them.
Ready-To-Race: All models are fully assembled and Ready-To-Race.® Just take them out of the box, install the batteries, peel and stick a few decals (we leave the final decoration choices up to the owner!), and you’re ready to go. Nitro models must be fueled and primed (easy!). Most Traxxas models come complete with detailed operating manuals and award-winning instructional DVDs. Everything you need to know about operating and maintaining your new Traxxas model is covered for you. Of course, if you have questions, we’re always just a phone call or e-mail away.
Full-Size Short-Course Off-Road Racing: Short-Course Off-Road Racing is an extremely competitive form of racing that pits 900+horsepower 2- and 4-wheel drive trucks in fender-to-fender competition inside closed-course off-road arenas. The tracks are built with banked berms, punishing whoops sections, and giant full-throttle sweepers that set the stage for extreme action and intense racing. Traxxas is there, with 2WD and 4WD machines built for all-out competition. Traxxas’ involvement in full-size off-road racing allows the engineering for both the radio controlled race trucks and the full-sized race trucks to converge for the advancement of both sports. For more information, race schedules, television viewing schedules, and locations, visit Traxxas.com.
Thank you for considering Traxxas. We work hard every day to assure the highest level of customer satisfaction possible. Bottom line … we want you to love your Traxxas model and have as much fun with it as possible!

The smooth-sliding, true-curvilinear spline design pioneered for Revo is now even stronger thanks to CV-style joints on each end – an industry first. The joints’ crosspins are supported by the full diameter of the shaft, so even the heaviest torque loads won’t pop the joint.
Hex HardwarePro-quality, high-grade metric hex-drive hardware adds extra strength. Black-oxide rust-resistant finish. Basic service tools are included with the trucks.
Rubber-Sealed Ball BearingsPrecision rubber-sealed bearings are used in exposed locations. They provide ultimate protection and low maintenance in dirt and extreme environments.
Dual-Servo Steering SystemHigh-traction tires and a low-speed technical climb – that’s a combo that demands a lot of steering torque, and Summit delivers with a dual-servo system. Each servo is rated for 125 oz.-in. of torque, giving Summit a total of 250 oz.-in. of tire-turning twist to keep you in command no matter how tough the conditions.
Titan 775 MotorThe largest motor of any electric monster truck is the Titan® 775. This massive mill is equipped with a fan-cooled armature for non-stop off-road adventure, and an extra wrap of steel for maximum magnetic field strength.
New Chassis Braces with SkidplateHeavy-duty chassis braces coupled with an integrated transmission skid plate provide rigid support that protects the center driveline and virtually eliminates power robbing chassis flex.

Traxxas created the first fully-assembled,
Ready-To-Race® nitro models in 1992. For the
first time, Traxxas made it easy for anyone to
experience the pure adrenaline rush of nitro
horsepower. Nitro models have two-stroke
engines powered by fuel that’s made of alcohol
and nitromethane (racing fuel). These engines
are similar to what you might have on a gas-
powered weed trimmer only they are small
enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The
sound of the engine, the smell of the exhaust,
and the unbelievable speed (70+ mph!) and
acceleration are truly satisfying for the person
who is a gearhead at heart.
Traxxas nitro models are part of a system of total performance that includes our own Traxxas Top Fuel Power Plus;
the exclusive Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan; and a commitment to the most complete product support possible,
both from Traxxas and from thousands of hobby shops around the world. Our toll-free* customer support offers fast
friendly solutions and answers to any questions you may have about Traxxas products.
All models are fully assembled and Ready-To-Race.® The bodies are fully-painted and trimmed. The radio systems are
installed and adjusted. There is no complicated assembly required or messy painting to deal with. Just take them out
of the box, charge or install the batteries, peel and stick a few decals (we leave the final decoration choices up to the
owner!), fuel and prime the engine, and you’re ready to go. Your hobby dealer can help you get set up with the support
equipment and accessories you will need to get started.

With the original EZ-Start electric starting system, the TRX Pro.15 starts quickly and safely at the push of the button. The TRX Pro.15 is so easy to use with its wide and predictable tuning latitude that it’s the perfect engine for the first-time nitro enthusiast. The TRX Pro.15 gives you the peace-of-mind of the Traxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan, and down the road, affordable upgrades to the powerful racing performance of the TRX 2.5R.
Connecting RodThis special channeled-beam connecting rod offers greater strength and long-lasting performance. The channeled design has an extra benefit of directing the oil flow down to the crankshaft bushing.
Ball BearingsThe TRX Pro.15 uses precision steel ball bearings for high-performance, high-RPM durability. The ball bearings reduce friction so the engine will perform more responsively. The bearings are also sealed to keep out dirt.
CarburetorThe carburetor for the TRX Pro.15 features a larger 6mm intake bore for better breathing. Double O-ring sealing on both the low and high-speed needle adjustments help to eliminate air leaks. The carburetor barrel has a dust cap for extra protection against dirt.
Aluminum Piston The TRX Pro.15’s durable aluminum piston features an oil groove in the top. The oil groove promotes better sealing and compression. It also increases the lubrication between the cylinder sleeve and the piston, reducing wear and heat.
IPS CrankshaftSurface-hardened, precision-ground, and micro-polished 12mm IPS crankshaft provides smooth and efficient power output.
The TRX 2.5 and 2.5R rear exhaust racing engines are
completely designed and manufactured by Traxxas. Right
from the start, Traxxas engineers dedicated the TRX 2.5 for
nothing less than ultimate performance. After 2 years of
focused engineering development and thousands of hours
of real-world, hard-core testing, the TRX 2.5 gives you all the
power and technology of world-class, high-performance racing
engines, and truly elevates ready-to-run to Ready-To-Race®.
It’s loaded with advanced engine design features such as free-
flowing rear exhaust, the unique composite slide carburetor,
and innovative porting that produces incredible power output.
Brand new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities allow us to
produce the TRX 2.5 to the absolute highest quality standards.
Since the TRX 2.5 Racing Engine is manufactured solely by
Traxxas, instead of being purchased from an outside supplier
and re-branded, the TRX 2.5 is backed by superior Traxxas
know-how, unmatched customer support and the exclusive
Traxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan.
PowerTune™ HeadThe TRX 2.5R is equipped with an oversized machined aluminum cylinder head for more even heat distribution that allows for more precise tuning for increased power.

The TRX® 3.3 Racing Engine draws from a legacy of precision Traxxas engine design and manufacturing. Traxxas has always been at the forefront of innovation, beginning with the powerful and reliable TRX Pro.15. Next, the Traxxas EZ-Start® system ushered in a new era of convenience and ease of use with true, push-button electric starting. EZ-Start later evolved to incorporate built-in diagnostic functions, LED indicators, a constant-voltage glow plug circuit, and more powerful starter motors. Then came the TRX 2.5, a marvel of award-winning power and technology that sent the bar for Ready-To-Race® performance to unimaginable new heights.
Fast forward to the present and 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.
IPS CrankshaftThe new crankshaft design has dyno-proven timing and port flow to optimize fuel delivery into the engine. The crank is surface hardened, precision ground and micro-polished for superior life and durability. Traxxas IPS crankshaft design makes the TRX 3.3 compatible with any model equipped with a TRX 2.5 or TRX 2.5R Racing Engine.
TRX Composite Slide CarburetorThe TRX 3.3 is equipped with same high-performance slide carburetor that has reliably powered a generation of TRX Racing Engines. The slide type carburetor provides less restrictive, straight through airflow for more power and improved throttle response. Because it is molded, Traxxas engineers incorporated superior internal design enhancements and precision not possible with traditional machined carburetor. The composite material does not transfer heat like aluminum for more consistent tuning.
CrankcaseThe TRX 3.3 uses a new crankcase engineered with high-tech porting and cooling refinements to boost power output. Precision casting provides the strength needed for the TRX 3.3’s high power output. The external dimensions allow the TRX 3.3 to fit anywhere a TRX 2.5 or TRX 2.5R was installed.
Piston and SleeveThe piston is composed of a proprietary material that reduces wear and extends engine life. The piston and sleeve materials are also unique in their ability to maintain consistent fit through the engines operating temperature range. The sleeve ports are larger, increasing power through improved efficiency and scavenging.
Connecting RodThe knife-edged connecting rod reduces internal drag and turbulence. The channeled design provides the strength to handle the power of the TRX 3.3 and also directs the oil-flow down to the crankshaft.
Ball BearingsThe quality and smoothness of an engine’s ball bearings contribute to the life and performance of the engine. The TRX 3.3 uses only top-grade, ultra-high performance, large diameter ball bearings. Top quality bearings improve power by reducing parasitic friction. The rear engine bearing uses a high-tech composite cage for reliable operation at engine speeds that approach 50,000rpm!
Straight-through Exhaust FlowThe rear-facing round exhaust port provides unrestricted “straight-through” exhaust flow. There are other rear exhaust engines, but the innovative shape of the TRX 3.3’s exhaust port was carefully engineered to provide unrestricted exhaust flow, while at the same time maintaining a low exhaust port height. The low exhaust port height provides a longer duration power stroke for increased efficiency and total power output.
O-Ring Exhaust GasketThe exhaust header features an extra-tough, finned mounting base that dissipates heat and is sealed with a reliable O-ring gasket. This virtually eliminates troublesome, messy exhaust leaks that steal engine power and efficiency.
PowerTune™ HeadThe giant PowerTune machined aluminum cooling head promotes even heat distribution for stable engine temps and rock-solid tuning consistency. The newly designed molded head protector is securely fastened to the top of the head with precision hex screws.
Head ProtectorThe impact resistant head protector is secured to cylinder head with screws so it won’t fall off. It’s designed to absorb harsh impacts and to protect your cylinder head from roll overs.
High-Volume Air FilterThe air filter is often overlooked as being a key to engine performance and life. Not so with the TRX Racing Engines! It’s ultra low-restriction air filter provides superior air-flow and filtration for more power and long engine life. The inside of the filter mates perfectly to the carburetor to eliminate turbulence as air passes through the carburetor. The two-stage design features a reusable oiled foam element that’s easy to maintain and a built-in fine-mesh pre-filter.

Years ago we saw a need for our customers to have an easy and affordable way to protect their
investment in their Traxxas nitro model and keep the engine performance factory-fresh. Our solution
is the Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan,* developed exclusively for our customers. Engines wear out
over time and need to be rebuilt. Rebuilding engines from parts can be costly and time consuming;
and can be outside the mechanical skills of many enthusiasts. With the Traxxas Lifetime Engine
Replacement Plan, a worn out or damaged engine can be traded in for a brand-new, factory-fresh TRX®
Racing Engine right away by simply exchanging your worn engine at your local hobby store. The cost
is 1/2 of the retail price of the new replacement engine. It’s less expensive than rebuilding the engine
yourself and you get the peace of mind knowing your engine is brand new (not refurbished), and ready
to deliver the power and reliability you expect. In many cases, installing the new engine only takes
minutes and you’re back in action.
Extreme UpgradesThe Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan is the extreme-power upgrade path for any model equipped
with a TRX 2.5 or TRX 2.5R Racing Engine. When you’re ready, you can use the plan to trade up to
the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine and watch your speed and acceleration soar. The TRX 3.3 is 100% “drop-
in” compatible with TRX 2.5 and 2.5R equipped models. For less than the price of an average, poorly
supported aftermarket engine, you can have extreme TRX 3.3 power with 100% drop-in installation,
EZ-Start electric starting, full Traxxas reliability and support, and power that is absolutely second to
none. If you are a TRX Pro.15 owner, you can trade up to TRX 2.5R power or, if you dare, the TRX 3.3
Racing Engine. $25 conversion kits are available that make it easy to install the rear exhaust, slide carb
equipped TRX Racing Engine in place of the TRX Pro.15. Ask your hobby dealer for all the details.
The Traxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan is the easiest way to boost the
power and speed in your model.

Nothing Else Even Comes Close.
Nothing else comes close to delivering the total, no-compromise performance and superior
innovation found on Revo.
Truck of the YearRC Car Action
Best Nitro TruckRC Car Action Readers’ Choice
Seven-Time Champion
The Traxxas Revo 3.3 turned the R/C world upside down with
its unprecedented engineering and unsurpassed performance.
It took a team of engineers and a two year mission of research
and development to create a benchmark vehicle of this caliber.
Never before has so much forward-thinking technology
converged on an R/C model. Think of Revo 3.3 as the ultimate
supercar of the monster truck world. The perfection and
technology that everyone else aspires to achieve. Immerse
yourself in the features and details on the next page and you’ll
see why Revo 3.3 is simply the world’s most advanced R/C
monster truck.
The key to Revo’s remarkable handling is in the
rockers. Revo’s patent-pending linkage-based
suspension not only delivers the most suspension
travel of any monster truck, it constantly varies both
the spring force and damping to match suspension
movement. Over small bumps, the suspension
is light and responsive, reacting instantly to the
surface. Compress the suspension over large jumps
and the rocker geometry progressively increases
the spring force and shock damping. In an instant,
the suspension automatically becomes stiffer when
you need it most. Ride height, progressive rate, and
damping can all be fine tuned independently of
the other. The result is a no-compromise setup
that simply would not possible with conventional
suspension design. Only Revo delivers the best
handling for every extreme.

Tire-Burning, Pavement-RoastingHorsepower!
TRX 3.3 Racing engineThe TRX® 3.3 is bigger, faster and puts out a whopping 60% more peak horsepower compared to the TRX 2.5. The overall power under the curve is nearly 50% greater. What this means is you get smooth, linear power output with increased performance and responsiveness across the entire RPM range (see page 18 for more information).
Resonator Tuned PipeThe Traxxas Resonator™
aluminum tuned pipe is precision-engineered to maximize the power output of TRX 3.3 Racing Engine. It delivers improved top-end power, enhanced bottom-end punch and smooth, linear power.
Pre-Glued 2.8" Anaconda TiresJato 3.3 comes standard with the sleek design and fierce performance of Anaconda™ street tires. The engineered tire compound provides ultra-sticky traction for slick street surfaces. Anaconda’s contoured foam inserts coupled with directional tread provide extra stability for ultimate high-speed on-road action.
Wheelie BarThe included wheelie bar is mandatory equipment. The broad linear power output of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine delivers responsive, wheels-up power at almost any speed.

Rubber-Sealed Ball Bearings Precision rubber-sealed
bearings are used in exposed locations. They provide ultimate protection and low maintenance in dirt and nitro environments.
Large-Diameter Disc BrakePowerful braking is provided by a semi-metallic friction disc and tough metal calipers. It was developed to practically eliminate fade in long nitro racing events and provide smooth engagement with consistent braking performance.
GTR ShocksJato is equipped with superior damping capability that can be finely tuned for any track condition. Computer-analyzed body size and volume maintains optimum oil temperature and the most consistent oil viscosity. Traxxas’ unique silicone X-ring provides superior sealing with less friction than typical O-ring seals. Convenient, threaded spring pre-load adjusters make it easy to fine-tune the ride height.
Super-Duty Sealed DriveshaftsThe super-duty sealed driveshafts are lightweight and require almost no maintenance. The true, constant velocity design allows smooth running at huge deflection angles not possible with conventional shafts - perfect for Jato’s class-leading suspension travel. Rubber seals keep out performance-robbing dirt.
Torque-Control Slipper ClutchSpecial, semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates are used 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. A center ball bearing maintains precise, long-lasting alignment with near-friction-free running and virtually zero maintenance.
Zero Bump Steer Steering GeometrySpecialized computer modeling technology was used 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 adjustable servo saver for precise feel and tight steering response.
EZ-Start Electric Starting SystemNothing beats the convenience and safety of the Traxxas EZ-Start® system. It consists of an onboard drive unit that lights the glow plug and spins the engine for easy push-button starting from the handheld control module. The starter drive is attached to the engine so your hands are safely away from all spinning and moving parts. The controller contains diagnostic LEDs that provide real-time status of the glow plug and starter motor. It tells you if the glow plug has failed and protects the starter motor from overloading.

Hex Hardware Pro-quality, high-grade
metric hex-drive hardware adds extra strength. Black-oxide rust-resistant finish.
Low-Profile 75cc Fuel CellThe fuel tank is baffled and sumped to prevent sloshing and fuel starvation. Rubber mounts isolate vibration to prevent foaming and a built-in bronze sintered fuel filter helps block harmful dirt and grit from entering the engine. The integrated pull handle allows fast, easy fuel stops without removing the body.
Sealed Limited-Slip DifferentialThe sealed limited-slip gear differential can be precisely tuned with lighter or heavier lube for maximizing rear traction and cornering performance. Superior X-ring silicone seals are used for reliable sealing. Unlike a ball differential, Jato’s sealed gear differential never gets loose or wanders out of adjustment. It is more reliable and is virtually maintenance free.
Front and Rear Sway BarsFront and rear sway bars make sure that the Jato 3.3 reduce body roll and sway, improving cornering traction and transitional steering response. They are fully adjustable with three different bar weights to tune for maximum cornering speed.
