The Traxxas TRX-4 Land Rover Defender Trail Truck pairs licensed scale styling with a feature-rich trail chassis built for technical driving. This 1/10 crawler uses portal axles, remote-locking differentials, and a two-speed transmission with remote shifting, giving you a capable setup for outdoor trails and slower rock work alike.
Under the Defender body, the truck uses a rigid steel frame, aluminum GTS shocks, and full-time shaft-driven 4WD. The XL-5 HV waterproof ESC, Titan 21T reverse-rotation brushed motor, and TQi 2.4 GHz radio system round out a platform that is ready for wet conditions and varied trail terrain.
