Description
The Traxxas X-Maxx Belted 8S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck in Orange is a powerhouse designed for high performance and durability. It features the VXL-8s™ Waterproof Electronic Speed Control that supports 8s LiPo batteries, offering speeds over 50 MPH with built-in cooling and real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link. The Velineon® 1200XL Brushless Motor delivers robust power with dual cooling fans and a 4-pole 1275 kV setup. Enhanced control is provided by Traxxas Stability Management® (TSM), which adjusts assistance from the transmitter to prevent spinouts. The TQi™ 2.4 GHz High Output Radio System, with its Traxxas Link™ compatibility, stores settings for up to 30 models and includes a multi-function knob for adjustable controls.
The clipless body mount system allows quick and easy body removal, while the full-time shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain with all-metal gears and CVDs ensures durability and performance. Its heavy-duty modular composite chassis is designed for easy servicing and enhanced protection from dirt. The clipless battery retention system is secure and user-friendly, and the heavy-duty suspension includes large-scale GTX shocks for superior handling. The massive 8.4″ Sledgehammer® belted tires with open tread design minimize ballooning at high speeds, making this monster truck ready for any terrain.
