Traxxas Maxx Monster Truck RTR Brushless (Solar Flare)

Traxxas Maxx Monster Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 brushless monster truck that combines high top speed with a rugged chassis and advanced electronics. Waterproof VXL-4s speed control, a long-format Velineon 540XL motor and the TQi radio with telemetry and TSM make this truck fast, controllable, and tuned for heavy bashing or aggressive trail runs.

Key Features

• Velineon VXL-4s waterproof ESC—full brushless speed control built for wet and dirty runs with an onboard cooling fan and machined heat sinks to manage heat.
• 3s–4s LiPo compatible—runs on common multi-cell packs for flexible power and runtime options.
• Integrated protection circuits and LED status lights for quick system checks and safe operation.
• 10-gauge silicone wire for reliable, low-resistance power delivery.
• Real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link—monitor speed control and vehicle data from your phone when paired with the TQi radio.
• Velineon 540XL brushless motor—long-format, 4-pole 2400 kV design with a 5 mm output shaft, aluminum heat sink and cooling fan for sustained power.
• High top speed—about 55+ MPH out of the box with a single 4s battery; 60+ MPH possible with optional gearing and a single 4s battery.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)—helps prevent spinouts and loss of control and is adjustable from off to full assistance from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system—Traxxas Link enabled with a multi-function knob and adjustable dual rates and expo for steering and throttle.
• Telemetry-ready 5-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe security and integrated telemetry ports for real-time data and model memory for up to 30 Traxxas Link–enabled vehicles.
• Clipless body mount system—one-hand install and removal using a pivoting rear latch that eliminates body posts and clips; reinforced to resist tearing.
• Full-time shaft-driven 4WD with a Torque-Biasing Center Drive that soaks up shocks and spreads power to the wheels.
• 17 mm keyed wheel hex with 5 mm nut for secure wheel retention under heavy loads.
• Sealed, silicone fluid-filled differentials that use large-module ring and pinion gears for durable power transfer.
• Splined outdrives with external thru-bolt attachment for serviceable, strong driveline joints.
• Cush Drive system to protect drivetrain components from shock loads.
• Extreme-duty telescoping driveshafts and a splined aluminum center driveshaft for long-term drivetrain strength.
• Secure Motor Mounting System with preset gear mesh adjustments, motor retention separate from gear mesh, and a full-length motor cradle.
• Heavy-duty modular composite chassis with interlocking front and rear bulkheads that absorb and distribute impact energy while keeping the driveline sealed inside the chassis.
• Easy battery access—battery sits deep in the chassis with pivoting hold-downs that are more secure than conventional retention methods.
• Energy-absorbing bumpers front and rear, plus lower skids for abrasion resistance and integrated nerf bars for side impact protection.
• TSM rated—system integration tested to work with the truck’s handling and electronics.
• Wheelie bar with integrated carry handle for easier transport and recovery after big acceleration runs.
• Heavy-duty steering bellcranks and servo saver with double-shear bellcranks to stand up to hard impacts.
• High-output steering servo (2090)—digital, waterproof and rated at 285 oz-in with a 0.18 second transit speed and a new mounting system that fully supports the case.
• Suspension engineered for travel and steering—critical suspension points use double-shear strength with steel and 4 mm machined pivot balls.
• C-hub and steering block geometry that maximizes steering angle and includes an adjustable roll center for tuning.
• Fixed, high-strength camber and toe links plus steel upper and lower tie bars and full-contact sealed bearings in exposed locations.
• New GT-Maxx shocks with machined aluminum threaded bodies, extra-large bore and capacity, large-diameter damper shafts and a lower seal cartridge with dual X-rings.
• Adjustable upper spring retainer, plastic shock caps with pivot balls and bolted lower spring perches for serviceability and reliable mounting.
• Wheels and tires—tough 2.8" wheels with keyed 17 mm hex receptor and large 5.5" all-terrain dual-diameter tires fitted with one-piece foam inserts; pre-glued for immediate use.
