So my Traxxas Jato transmitter got broken. Will this new transmitter work?

[Golden Arrow fan]

I have a Traxxas Jato and I broke my transmitter for it. Would this transmitter work? It shows the Traxxas rc cars it works for and the Jato isn't one of them. How do I bind this transmitter to my Jato?

Jennys for sure. Super company to work with.

His link showed a TQ but the Jenny link showed a TQI. If it is a TQ radio, this will work.

I think theyre relatively the same model, the TQi just has the port for a traxxas link module.

I could be wrong though. Not sure if the TQ can bind to a TQi receiver.

He's running a Jato BL2s which comes with a standard TQ. I would imagine the TQi is backwards compatable with the standard TQ receiver

Any traxxas transmitter will bind to any traxxas receiver

I think we forgot to ask a very important question here...

How does one break the transmitter?

You're supposed to bash the car not the TX

Me too! My good friend and neighbor has an old nitro rustler and a nitro sport that kinda just sit there with crystal radio's in there

Watch your eyeballs. Them long antennas will poke em out. Not if but when.

I do. I have radio one, two, and four as well as those old school AM's.

I remember a meme from the vintage classics with two guys on the drivers stand, one using an old crystal transmitter with a four foot antenna and the other one using like a flysky Noble, and the caption was you versus the guy She tells you not to worry about can't find it tho
