Traxxas LaTrax Rally Car RTR 1/18 (Red X)

The Traxxas LaTrax Rally Car is a compact, ready-to-run 1/18 rally car that puts four-wheel drive handling and waterproof electronics in a beginner-friendly package. Lightweight and low to the ground, it’s set up out of the box with a pre-painted body, radio, battery and charger so you can hit the pavement or a smooth dirt course the moment it arrives.

Key Features

• 1/18-scale pre-painted body with decals — rally-inspired styling arrives finished and race-ready.

• Adjustable-height body mounts — tweak stance and clearance to match track or street conditions.
• Waterproof electronic speed control — fully sealed design for wet runs and dusty conditions.
• Fully-proportional forward, reverse, and braking — precise control for drifting, rally turns, and slow-speed maneuvers.
• Three drive profiles — choose the behavior that matches your skill: Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake), or Training™ (50% forward/brake/50% reverse) for gentler throttle response.
• EZ-Set® one-button setup — quick electronic setup and profile selection without menu diving.
• Thermal shutdown protection — ESC safeguards itself under heavy load to prevent damage.
• 370 brushed motor — proven, reliable power that needs little maintenance.
• Virtually maintenance-free drive — simple brushed powertrain keeps upkeep low for new drivers.
• 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna for smooth, interference-free control.
• 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe — built-in safety returns throttle to neutral if signal is lost.
• Servo reversing and electronic steering trim — easy to tune steering direction and centering from the transmitter.
• AC wall-outlet charger — charges the included battery from a standard household outlet.
