Traxxas Maxx Monster Truck RTR Brushless (Blue)

The Traxxas Maxx Monster Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 scale 4WD monster truck built to deliver big speed and rugged trail/bash capability. It pairs the Velineon VXL-4s waterproof ESC with a long-format 540XL brushless motor for high top-end speed and reliable throttle control, while Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) helps keep you driving when traction gets sketchy. This truck is aimed at intermediate to advanced hobbyists who want a fast, tough platform right out of the box.

Key Features

• Velineon VXL-4s waterproof ESC — supports 3s–4s batteries and includes a built-in cooling fan for consistent performance.
• ESC has machined heat sinks and 10-gauge silicone wire for efficient power delivery and heat control.
• Integrated protection circuits and LED status lights keep the system safe and easy to monitor.
• Real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link provides temperature, voltage and other data to your phone.
• Velineon 540XL brushless motor — long-format, 4-pole 2400 kV design with a 5 mm output shaft and aluminum heat sink for sustained power.
• Motor includes its own cooling fan; paired system can reach 55+ MPH with a single 4s battery (sold separately) and 60+ MPH with optional gearing.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — helps prevent spinouts and loss of control, adjustable from off to full assist from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — Traxxas Link enabled with a multi-function knob and adjustable steering/throttle dual rates and exponential.
• Telemetry-ready 5-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe security and integrated telemetry ports for data logging.
• Radio system automatically stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models so you can switch rigs without reprogramming.
• Clipless Body Mount System — quick one-hand body removal using a pivoting rear latch; eliminates body posts and clips and is reinforced against tearing.
• Full-time shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain with Torque-Biasing Center Drive to absorb shocks and distribute power for better traction.
• 17 mm keyed wheel hex with 5 mm nut for secure wheel mounting.
• Sealed, silicone fluid-filled differentials with large-module ring and pinion gears for long life and smooth operation.
• Splined outdrives fastened with an external thru-bolt method for added strength.
• Heavy-duty Cush Drive reduces drivetrain shock on big landings.
• Extreme-duty telescoping driveshafts and a splined aluminum center driveshaft for toughness under load.
• Secure motor mounting system with precision preset gear mesh, separate motor retention, and a full-length motor cradle.
• Heavy-duty modular composite chassis with interlocking front and rear bulkheads that absorb and spread impact energy and make servicing components easier.
• Driveline is sealed inside the chassis to keep out dirt and grit for longer life.
• Easy battery access — battery sits deep in the chassis with pivoting hold-downs for secure, fast installation.
• Tough energy-absorbing front and rear bumpers with lower skids for impact and abrasion resistance, plus integrated nerf bars for side protection.
• TSM rated and includes a wheelie bar with an integrated carry handle for control and transport.
• Heavy-duty steering bell cranks and servo saver supported by heavy-duty double-shear bellcranks for reliable steering under load.
• Large-scale high-output steering servo (2090) delivering 285 oz-in of torque and a 0.18 sec transit speed, mounted on a reinforced support system.
• Suspension engineered for travel and steering — critical points have double-shear strength and C-hub/steering block geometry maximizes steering angle.
• Steel pivot balls and 4 mm machined pivot balls for precise, durable articulation.
• Adjustable roll center, fixed high-strength camber and toe links, and steel upper and lower tie bars for predictable handling.
• Full-contact sealed bearings used in exposed locations to reduce wear and maintenance.
• GT-Maxx shocks — machined aluminum threaded bodies with an extra-large bore, large-diameter damper shafts, dual X-ring lower seal cartridges, adjustable upper spring retainers, plastic shock caps with pivot balls and bolted lower spring perches.
• Wheels and tires — tough 2.8" wheels with keyed 17 mm hex receptor and large 5.5" all-terrain dual-diameter tires mounted on 1-piece foam inserts; pre-glued and ready to run.
