Traxxas TRX-4 Mercedes-Benz G 500 RTR (Red)

The Traxxas TRX-4 Mercedes-Benz G 500 RTR brings the G-Class look to a proven trail truck platform. It combines a detailed licensed body with portal axles, a 2-speed transmission, and remote locking differentials, so you get the scale appearance and the hardware that helps it handle rough ground.

It’s built around a shaft-driven 4WD chassis with a steel frame, aluminum GTS shocks, and a waterproof XL-5 HV speed control. The included Titan 550 21T reverse rotation motor, TQi radio system, and waterproof steering servo round out a complete RTR package.

Why Choose This Product

This truck gives you a licensed Mercedes-Benz body on Traxxas' TRX-4 platform, so the scale look and trail hardware arrive together. The portal axles, remote locking differentials, and two-speed transmission give it a very usable setup for crawling and trail driving.

Because it’s RTR, the main electronics are already installed. You’ll still need batteries, a charger, and four AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter.
