Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer RTR 6S (Traxxas Edition)

Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer is a ready-to-run desert race truck designed for experienced hobbyists who want pro-scale looks and real top-end performance. The truck pairs a highly detailed replica body and tube-frame appearance with a 6S-capable VXL speed control and Velineon brushless motor for high-speed running and telemetry access.

Key Features

• Large Pro Scale body with replica parts: Oversized truck body mounts to the chassis in multiple points for secure fit and scale appearance.
• Tube-frame construction that mimics full-size off-road racers while adding structural rigidity to the model.
• Detailed interior cabin complete with driver figures for an authentic cockpit look.
• Replica brake calipers and discs paired with integrated 17 mm wheel hubs for scale realism.
• Two fully functional spare tires and a working spare driveshaft mounted as on a full-size racer.
• Additional replica accessories include fire extinguishers, shock reservoirs, a jack, and tools for display and realism.
• Realistic side plates that attach to the tube frame to complete the race truck aesthetic.
• VXL-6s Waterproof Electronic Speed Control: 6S-compatible speed control with an integrated cooling fan and machined heatsink to manage heat under heavy loads.
• Real-time telemetry support via Traxxas Link for live data and tuning from a compatible module.
• Three LED status indicators, powered accessory ports, and 10-gauge silicone wire for reliable power delivery.
• Velineon brushless motor: 4-pole, 2200 Kv sensorless motor with a 5 mm output shaft and finned can to help dissipate heat at high RPMs.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM): TSM improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, keeps steering composed during throttle-on powerslides, and can be adjusted from off to full assistance from the transmitter without dulling throttle response.
• Factory-installed LED light kit: Dual bumper light bars (52 LEDs each), a curved roof light bar (52 LEDs), and a multifunction red/amber brake/class light bar (24 red and 24 amber LEDs) driven by a high-voltage 8-channel amplifier and a regulated output for steady lighting.
• TQi 2.4 GHz radio system: 2-channel transmitter paired with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that includes fail-safe and telemetry ports, plus adjustable steering and throttle sensitivity and endpoints.
• Radio system automatically stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models and works with the Traxxas Link Wireless Module for full app functionality.
• Patented waterproof receiver box with easy-access plug keeps electronics protected in wet conditions.
• Chassis: Composite inverted tub design that lowers the center of gravity, simplifies maintenance, and grants easy access to components.
• Protective skid plates guard critical parts from impacts and debris.
• Fully integrated tube frame adds scale appearance and chassis stiffness while reinforced bumpers absorb impacts.
• ESC battery plugs are hard-mounted to the chassis for secure connections.
• Innovative battery compartment: Accepts a single 4-cell LiPo or dual 2-cell or 3-cell LiPo packs, opens from underneath without removing the body, and uses a fixed oversize battery strap plus a separate skid plate to lock and protect batteries in place.
• Transmission: All-steel gear direct-drive transmission with Torque-Biasing Center Drive that removes as a single unit for easy maintenance and uses a fixed-pin gear mesh system.
• Drivetrain: Steel CV front driveshafts with 6 mm stub axles, a steel straight rear axle, an oil-filled limited-slip front differential, a locked steel spool rear, heavy-duty splined front driveshaft, and a fixed-length steel rear driveshaft.
• Steering: Chassis-mounted 2270 metal-gear digital high-torque waterproof servo, dual-bellcrank steering with bearings and integrated servo saver, and solid non-adjustable steering links for rugged durability.
• Suspension: Scale-minded suspension with tough independent double-wishbone front setup with captured rod ends, triangulated 4-link rear suspension with solid rear axle, composite trailing arms, steel upper links with three positional holes for tuning, eight long-travel aluminum GTR shocks (four with springs and adjustable ride-height collars), functioning front and rear sway bars, and detailed functional limit straps on the rear axle.
• Wheels and tires: Replica BFGoodrich KR3 off-road tires mounted on beadlock-style dual-diameter 17 mm wheels.
• Sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain for smoother operation and reduced wear.
• Hex hardware with rust-resistant black oxide coating for corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.
