Key Features

- High-performance waterproof XL-5 speed control — sealed design lets you run in wet conditions and handle dirt and splashes.
- Multiple drive modes — Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake) and Training Mode™ (50% forward/brake, 50% reverse) to match skill level.
- EZ-Set one-button setup — quick programming of the speed control without a computer or extra tools.
- LiPo and NiMH compatible — built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for safer battery use.
- Titan 550 motor — Titan 12T 550 modified motor with internal cooling fan and oversized armature for strong torque and improved power handling.
- TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna and Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe for reliable control.
- Sealed watertight receiver box — keeps the micro receiver dry for dependable operation in wet conditions.
- 3000 mAh Traxxas 7-cell 8.4 V NiMH battery with iD — included pack designed for this rig.
- Includes battery and charger — comes with a fast charger so the buggy is ready to run out of the box.
- 4-amp 12 V DC peak-detecting fast charger — accelerates recharge cycles for more run time.
- Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout for stability and a secure platform to mount electronics.
