Traxxas Maxx Monster Truck 4WD Brushless (Green)

Traxxas Maxx Monster Truck brings full-size monster-truck capability to a 1/10 chassis: big speed, sealed driveline, and a wide stance that improves cornering and stability. This ready-to-run truck is designed for serious bashing and high-speed runs—expect 55+ mph straight from the box with a single high-capacity battery (sold separately), and the option to push above 60 mph with gearing changes.

Key Features

• Velineon VXL-4s Waterproof ESC — Brushless speed control with waterproof protection, built-in cooling fan, machined heat sinks, 10-gauge silicone power leads, integrated protection circuits, LED status lights, and real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link. Compatible with 3S–4S LiPo setups.
• Velineon 540XL Brushless Motor — Long-format, 4-pole 2400 Kv design with a 5 mm output shaft, aluminum heat sink, and dedicated cooling fan for sustained power under load.
• High top speed — 55+ mph out of the box using a single high-capacity battery (sold separately); 60+ mph possible with optional gearing and a single high-capacity battery.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Adjustable stability assistance to reduce spinouts and recover from slides; dial it from off up to full assistance right from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz High-Output Radio System — Traxxas Link-enabled transmitter and telemetry-ready 5-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe security, integrated telemetry ports, multi-function knob, and settings storage for up to 30 Traxxas Link models. Dual-rate and exponential steering/throttle adjustments provide fine tuning.
• Clipless Body Mount System — One-hand body installation and removal using a pivoting rear latch; eliminates body posts and clips and is reinforced to resist tearing.
• Full-time shaft-driven 4WD driveline — Torque-Biasing Center Drive absorbs shocks and balances power, while sealed silicone fluid-filled differentials use large-module ring and pinion gears for durable gear engagement.
• Robust drivetrain hardware — Splined outdrives secured with an external thru-bolt, heavy-duty cush drive, extreme-duty telescoping driveshafts, and a splined aluminum center driveshaft for reliable power transfer.
• Secure motor mounting — Precision preset gear mesh adjustments, motor retention independent from gear mesh, a full-length motor cradle, and 17 mm keyed wheel hex with 5 mm nut.
• Modular composite chassis — Interlocking chassis sections and bulkheads that absorb and distribute impact energy; driveline is sealed inside the chassis to keep out dirt and grit and components are easy to access for service.
• Easy battery access — Extended battery tray accepts large 4-cell packs up to 6700 mAh, holds the battery deep in the chassis for protection, and uses pivoting hold-downs that offer more secure retention and simpler access than conventional systems.
• Energy-absorbing bumpers — Front and rear bumpers plus lower skids resist impacts and abrasion; integrated nerf bars protect against side hits and a wheelie bar includes a carry handle for easy transport.
• Heavy-duty steering — Large-scale, high-output steering servo with 285 oz-in torque and 0.18 sec transit speed, supported by a triangulated mount and double-shear bellcranks with a servo saver for reliable steering under load.
• WideMaxx suspension — Double-shear suspension arms that are 1.57" (40 mm) wider for improved handling, made from a composite formula that resists impact even in cold weather; engineered geometry maximizes suspension travel and steering angle with steel pivot balls and 4 mm machined pivot hardware.
• Durable suspension links — Fixed high-strength camber and toe links, steel upper and lower tie bars, and full-contact sealed bearings in exposed locations for long service life.
• GT-Maxx shocks — Machined aluminum threaded bodies with extra-large bore and capacity, large-diameter damper shaft, lower seal cartridge with dual X-rings, adjustable upper spring retainer, plastic shock caps with pivot balls, and bolted lower spring perches.
• Wheels & tires — Tough 2.8" wheels with keyed 17 mm hex receptor, pre-glued Sledgehammer extreme tires with one-piece foam inserts for traction and reliability; tires are rated for use with TSM.
