introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Traxxas TRX-4® equipped with
All-Terrain Traxx™. It features the powerful Titan® 21T 550 motor,
waterproof electronics, and a smooth XL-5 HV 3s LiPo-capable
electronic speed control. The TRX-4 already has a go-anywhere
attitude and the gear to match, but the installed Traxx yields a
machine that feels practically unstoppable on virtually any terrain.
The enormous contact patch and grippy treads shrug off the
deepest mud and float across deep sand. Traxx raises the portal
axles even higher (over 16mm!) for increased ground clearance
that lets you straddle huge obstacles on the trail. TRX-4 and
Traxx -- rugged, powerful, and ready to handle the rigors of
remote locations and all-day driving fun!
