Traxxas TRX-4 Chassis Kit supplies the ready-to-build 1/10 crawler foundation for hobbyists who want to learn assembly, tune suspension, or create a custom trail rig. The kit arrives with drivetrain components, portal axles, a transmitter and the speed control so you can focus on picking a body and finishing touches; battery, charger and body are not included.
Key Features
- True-to-scale part illustrations and ruler charts make identifying parts and measuring during the build straightforward.
- Color-coded, bagged sections with clear assembly tips walk first-time builders step-by-step through each stage.
- All-inclusive chassis kit supplies the drivetrain, radio electronics and hardware required to assemble a working TRX-4 chassis while excluding battery, charger and body.
- Full-time shaft-driven 4-wheel drive delivers smooth, consistent power for slow, technical trail work.
- Hardened steel front and rear drive shafts resist bending and wear during heavy use and recovery attempts.
- Remote-locking geared differentials with cable actuation let you lock or unlock the front and rear diffs from the transmitter for instant traction control.
- Steering geometry supports up to a 45-degree wheel angle for tight turns and better line tracing on obstacles.
- Three-link front suspension with a panhard bar balances articulation with predictable steering response.
- Triangulated rear 4-link suspension provides stable axle control when climbing uneven terrain.
- Coilover shocks tuned specifically for the TRX-4 chassis absorb impacts and control body motion for improved traction.
- Durable gear transfer case manages drivetrain loads and organizes power delivery between front and rear.
- Hinged battery strap gives quick, tool-free access to the battery compartment for fast swaps on the trail.
- Included TQi 4-channel transmitter gives direct control over steering, throttle and the remote functions like locking diffs.
- Titan 21T brushed motor provides reliable torque suited to crawling speeds and technical maneuvers.
- Trail-Tunes XL-5 HV electronic speed control is included and supports compatible high-performance battery packs for effective motor control.
- Portal axle assemblies raise ground clearance compared with straight axles and help reduce torque twist under load.
- 1.5mm thick steel frame rails form a solid backbone that resists flex and supports heavy-duty setups.
- Innovative chassis layout allows separate wheelbase adjustments so you can dial in balance and stance for different bodies and terrain.

About the Brand

Great Car, Needs Upgrades
i really like this vehicle, its super nice & well made. worth every penny, and im having fun putting it together. but, the plaster crossmembers n screws arent great. i replaced them w/ stainless steel and aluminum crossmembers instead.
