Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan

Only Traxxas has you covered with our exclusive Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan, 

the easiest way to either maintain or upgrade the performance in your model.   

Engines wear over time and need to be rebuilt with new parts. With the  

Traxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan, you can have a brand-new, 

factory-fresh engine right away by simply exchanging your worn 

engine at your local hobby store. It’s less expensive than  

rebuilding the engine yourself and you get the peace of mind 

knowing your engine is brand new and ready to deliver the 

power you expect. 

Right from the start, Traxxas engineers dedicated the TRX 2.5 Racing Engine for nothing less than ultimate 

performance. 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. 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.
