More info
The Traxxas TRX-4M RC Crawler Land Rover Defender RTR brings full-featured trail capability in a compact 1/18 scale package. Waterproof electronics, a ready-to-run setup, and a complete transmitter, battery, and charger let you hit real trails and backyard obstacles without extra gear.
Key Features
- Official Land Rover Defender clipless ABS body – licensed hard body molded in color so the finish resists chipping or flaking.
- Realistic scale details including tough fender flares, rock sliders, side mirrors, door handles, and windshield wipers for authentic looks on the trail.
- Front bumper LED lights for scale lighting and visibility when crawling late in the day.
- Heavy-duty latching clips hold the body securely during rough driving and release quickly for fast access.
- ECM-2.5 electronic control module combines ESC, receiver, and LED controller in one compact, fully waterproof unit for dependable all-weather use.
- Three drive profiles let you tune behavior: Sport (forward / brake / reverse), Trail (forward / brake / reverse with trail-tuned drag brake in neutral), and Crawl (forward / instant reverse with 100% hill-holding brake).
- Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup makes initial configuration fast and painless.
- Built-in Pro Scale LED functionality for easy lighting customization.
- Two-stage low-voltage protection and motor overload protection help preserve battery and motor life under load.
- TQ 2.4 GHz transmitter – full-size 2-channel radio for comfortable, precise long-range control.
- Titan 180 87-turn brushed motor – fixed gear mesh eliminates adjustment and the forward mounting position improves low-speed crawling dynamics.
- Steel ladder frame chassis with deep C-channel rails and a thicker center section for increased rigidity; rails run from bumper to bumper for consistent support.
- Driveline – full-time shaft-driven 4WD with solid steel axles, spool-equipped front and rear axles, and heavy-duty CV center driveshafts for straight, reliable power delivery.
- Low-CG battery tray places weight lower in the chassis for better stability; wide rubber strap secures the pack firmly in place.
- Optional transmission ratios (low range or speed gearing) are available separately and swap in minutes thanks to a modular design.
- Steering uses a 2065T steering servo with a metal main gear for strong, long-lasting performance.
- Superior 45° steering angle and direct steering design (no servo saver) for responsive, predictable turning on tight lines.
- Suspension features triangulated 4-link front and rear with reinforced rod ends for controlled articulation.
- Oil-filled GTM shocks deliver smooth, controlled damping, realistic body movement, and include adjustable preload spacers; they can be refreshed with available rebuild kits.
- Wheels and tires come as highly-detailed 1" wheels with a 7 mm hex and Canyon AT tires molded in a trail-tuned rubber compound for grip on varied terrain.
- Battery and charger included – high-capacity 2-cell LiPo battery with iD technology (7.4 volts, 750 mAh) plus a 2-amp USB-powered charger for safer, faster charging.
- Low-maintenance self-lubricating bushings reduce upkeep between service intervals.
- Durable hex hardware throughout simplifies maintenance and rebuilds.
