Traxxas Hoss VXL Monster Truck RTR Brushless (Solar Flare)

The Traxxas Hoss VXL Monster Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 monster truck built for aggressive bashing and high-speed runs. It pairs the fan-cooled VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control with the long-format Velineon 540XL brushless motor, plus the TQi radio system and Traxxas Stability Management for confident control at speed.

Key Features

• VXL-3s Waterproof Electronic Speed Control — Fan-cooled unit with a large heat sink to keep temps down during heavy use.
• Three programmable drive profiles: Sport Mode (forward, brake, reverse), Race Mode (forward, brake), and Training Mode (patented 50% forward/brake and 50% reverse) for learning and controlled practice.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for quick configuration straight out of the box.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection to protect LiPo batteries; also supports NiMH packs from 6–9 cells (7.2–10.8 volts) and LiPo packs of 2–3 cells (7.4–11.1 volts).
• Velineon 540XL Brushless Motor — Long-format, 4-pole 2400 kV design with a precision-balanced rotor, a 5 mm output shaft, and a blue-anodized finish.
• Potential top speed of 60+ mph with optional gearing and a 3-cell LiPo battery (items sold separately).
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Helps prevent spinouts and loss of control, and adjusts from off up to 100% assistance from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz High Output Radio System — Traxxas Link enabled with a 2.4 GHz 5-channel micro receiver (6533), telemetry ports, multi-function knob, adjustable steering/throttle percentage (dual rates) and sensitivity (exponential), plus a patented waterproof receiver box with easy-access plug.
• Clipless ProGraphix Body — One-handed removal, reinforced inner cage, oversized latch, roof rollover protector and tailgate protector for impact resistance.
• Chassis — Modular composite tub with a secure battery hold-down latch, integrated reinforced wheelie bar and high-approach bumpers for big landings.

• Suspension — Adjustable 4 mm steel toe and camber links, new impact-resistant suspension arm composite, oil-filled Ultra Shocks, rugged front and rear shock towers, and white powder-coated springs.
• Steering — Chassis-mounted 2075 digital high-torque waterproof servo with a dual bellcrank layout and integrated servo saver.
• Drivetrain — Full-time shaft-driven 4WD with Torque-Biasing Center Drive to absorb shocks and distribute power, extreme heavy-duty driveshafts, oil-filled steel gear front and rear differentials, a large 32-pitch steel spur gear, and an anodized-aluminum center driveshaft.
• Tall 5.3" Sledgehammer tires for aggressive traction and attitude on rough terrain.
• Wheels and Tires — Large 2.8" black chrome wheels paired with the Sledgehammer tires.
