With a feature set that includes parts that you would expect to buy separately, the TRX-4 delivers versatility and capability in a fully ready to run package. The TRX-4 is built for crawling the Traxxas way - rugged, powerful, and ready for fun!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltimate Ground Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler is equipped right out of the box with Traxxas' game-changing portal axle set. Portal axles lift the truck at the wheels for huge center pumpkin ground clearance. In order to achieve the same clearance with straight axles (and not get stuck), your tires would have to be over an inch taller than the TRX-4's tires. Straddling boulders with ease, the TRX-4 chassis definitely takes the path less traveled and simply leaves all the others behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorque Twist Eliminated\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe portal axles use gear reduction right at the wheels that dramatically reduces undesirable torque twist. Total axle gear reduction is over twice non-portal designs. The Titan 550 motor torque is translated into straight, powerful, forward motion, rather than wasted energy twisting your rig right off the rocks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePortal axle geometry raises the axle link mounts and center driveshaft, greatly reducing critical driveshaft and suspension link angles. This means less strain on the driveshafts, and the higher suspension links provide greater clearance with less scraping and dragging across the rocks. The steering drag link and tie rod are also raised up and out of harm's way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRigid Steel Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA heavy-duty formed-steel ladder frame with molded cross members creates an extremely rigid backbone that lets the suspension do the work it was designed to do. You’ll feel the difference on trails where the elimination of chassis flex allows for precise wheel placement when navigating technical terrain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemote Locking Differentials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraxxas gives you the versatility to lock and unlock the front and rear differentials to suit your driving needs directly from your transmitter. Leave the differentials unlocked for relaxed driving on the trail with smooth, tight turning and better handling at high speeds. When the trail gets technical, lock the front and rear differentials, or just the front, for superior grip over extreme terrain. This patented design has been proven rugged and capable in the Traxxas Summit. Sleeved micro cables control the differential action for scale appearance, without limiting the huge suspension articulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e45° Steering Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional crawlers sacrifice turning radius for traction. The TRX-4’s remote locking differentials disengage to take full advantage of its superior 45 degree steering angle. Once you clear the obstacle, re-engage the differentials for ultimate traction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHi\/Low Range Transmission\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the going gets tough, use your transmitter to shift into low range for incredible 4-wheel drive pulling torque. Shift into high range for blasting down the trail. The plush suspension design absorbs rough terrain with ease and delivers outstanding scale appearance. Unmatched versatility makes the TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler adaptable to just about any situation or driving style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Gear Digital Servo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA full-metal gear digital servo gives you the durability and steering authority you need to confidently and reliably power through tough situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraxxas was the first to bring you fully waterproof RC vehicles years ago with their innovative designs. The TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler is fully waterproof for how you like to really play, not “splash resistant.” There is a big difference. Traxxas’ patented innovation gives you the freedom to tackle creeks, snow, and mud without worrying about water in your electronics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Detail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TRX-4 Trail and Scale is being shown with the legendary Land Rover Defender body, complete with exciting scale details for an authentic 4-wheelin’ experience. Traxxas included a functional spare wheel and tire, an off-road jack, and spare fuel canisters. Secure your trail gear in the included roof basket. There’s even a snorkel for taking the waterproof TRX-4 through creek crossings. The rugged bumpers provide clearance and protection and are equipped with recovery D-rings. The front bumper is designed to be compatible with many popular off-road accessories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner Fenders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scale details did not stop with the body. Traxxas went underneath to install detailed inner fenders that integrate with the scale look of the floor pans and shock towers, keeping rocks, mud, and twigs out of the chassis. The inner fenders are also equipped with pockets to install optional LED rock light kit (sold separately) to light up the night trail, casting light right where it’s needed. The rock lights make changing a “flat tire” on the trail a breeze! Integrated rock sliders help protect the body from damage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCruise Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Traxxas TQi radio system is equipped with cruise control for long-distance treks. Set your speed using the transmitter and then use the multi-function knob to fine-tune it faster or slower to precisely match the pace of your caravan of trail explorers. Cruise control makes it easy and comfortable for the TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler to be your companion for hours of driving fun and exploration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3S Power System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe XL-5 HV electronic speed control brings 3S LiPo capability for stronger, more efficient running. Updated speed control profiles have been added for smooth and precise control. A Trail profile facilitates smooth driving for most of your adventures, while a Crawl profile introduces hill hold and instant reverse for extremely technical courses. Either will help you navigate obstacles with ease, right from the start. Long run times, up to 2 hours, are possible with a Traxxas 3S 5000mAh iD LiPo battery pack!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanyon Trail 1.9 Tires\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1.9 Canyon Trail tires and tuned foam inserts are super-soft and grippy to deliver superior bite on rocky surfaces with convincing scale realism. The 12mm steel hex drive makes the TRX-4 chassis compatible with popular 1.9 wheel and tire combinations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraxxas Tough\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeave the tools in the bag! The Traxxas TRX-4 chassis is built to handle the rigors of remote locations and all-day driving fun. The foundation begins with a pair of 1.5mm thick steel frame rails. Large diameter steel links and heavy-duty, extra-wide rod ends keep the suspension firmly mounted. Hardened steel CV-style half-shaft joints are ultra reliable, while the brushless-ready steel portal axle and transfer case gears are smooth and quiet. Traxxas’ composite materials have been refined over three decades for the ultimate in strength and durability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum GTS Shocks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOil-filled coil-over GTS shocks were created exclusively for the TRX-4 chassis. These silver-anodized aluminum units deliver silky-smooth damping performance and feature threaded shock bodies for easy ride height adjustments. The convincing scale realism looks great and they perform even better with an O-ring cap seal and dual X-ring shaft seals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme Capability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteep approach angles front and rear allow the TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler to tackle big obstacles head on. The front motor design biases weight forward for superior climbing ability compared to other designs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength (Bumper to Bumper):\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.1\" (586mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheelbase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.8\" (324mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.8\" (248.5mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRX-4, Ready-To-Race model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXL-5 HV waterproof electronic speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitan 21T reverse rotation motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTQi 2.4GHz radio system with cruise control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality maintenance tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeeded To Complete:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(4) \"AA\" Batteries (for transmitter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) NiMH Battery (4-7 cell) or LiPo Battery (2S\/3S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Compatible Battery Charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TRA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60758458401138,"sku":"TRA820564","price":459.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/7236\/6706\/files\/tra82056-4-blue.jpg?v=1774718009","url":"https:\/\/bandbhobbyshop.com\/products\/trx4-defender","provider":"B \u0026 B Hobby Shop Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
