Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer Truck RTR 6S (Traxxas Edition)

Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer Truck is a ready-to-run desert race truck built for high-speed bashing and long-distance desert-style runs. The Pro-Scale body and integrated tube frame give realistic looks while the VXL-6s speed control and Velineon brushless motor provide telemetry-capable power and cooling for serious performance.

Key Features

• Pro-Scale body with replica parts — Large truck body mounts to the chassis at multiple points and includes a detailed cabin with driver figures for authentic appearance.
• Functional tube frame — A strong tube frame copies full-size off-road racers and supports realistic side plates and mounted accessories.
• Replica brake hardware — Brake calipers and discs are modeled with functional 17 mm wheel hubs for scale realism.
• Two spare tires and spare driveshaft — Two fully functional spare tires plus a working spare driveshaft are mounted on the rig for accurate looks and practicality.
• Scale accessories — Included fire extinguishers, shock reservoirs, jack, and tools add realistic detail to the rig.
• VXL-6s waterproof ESC — 6S-capable speed control with integrated cooling fan, machined heatsink, three-LED status indicators, powered accessory ports, and 10-gauge silicone wiring for high-current reliability.
• Telemetry-ready electronics — Real-time telemetry is supported through Traxxas Link for logging and tuning.
• Velineon brushless motor — 4-pole 2200 Kv motor with 5 mm output shaft and finned can for better heat dissipation under load.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Helps with straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, maintains steering composure for throttle-on slides, and can be adjusted from off to full assistance from the transmitter.
• Factory LED light kit — Dual bumper light bars (52 LEDs each), curved roof bar (52 LEDs), and a multifunction tail bar (24 red + 24 amber LEDs) driven by a high-voltage 8-channel amplifier with regulated output for steady lighting performance.
• TQi 2.4 GHz radio system — 2-channel transmitter with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that provides fail-safe, telemetry ports, and stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link enabled models.
• Receiver compatibility — Works with the Traxxas Link Wireless Module to unlock full app functionality and model setup.
• Adjustable transmitter controls — Steering and throttle exponential and endpoint adjustments let you tailor response and feel.
• Waterproof receiver box — Patented sealed receiver box with easy-access plug protects electronics from dust and moisture.
• Composite inverted tub chassis — Lowers the center of gravity for improved handling, simplifies maintenance, and provides easy access to internal components.
• Skid plates and reinforced bumpers — Tough skid plates protect vital components and reinforced bumpers help absorb impacts.
• Integrated tube frame for scale and rigidity — Adds visual accuracy and structural support without complicating serviceability.
• ESC battery plugs hard-mounted — Secure wiring routing keeps high-current connections stable under hard driving.
• Innovative battery compartment — Accepts a single 4-cell battery or dual 2-cell/3-cell packs, opens from underneath so you don’t remove the body, and includes an oversized fixed strap plus a separate skid plate to protect batteries.
• All-steel direct-drive transmission — Durable steel gears with Torque-Biasing Center Drive and fixed-pin gear mesh; the transmission removes as one piece for easy service.
• Front steel CV driveshafts — Front CV shafts use 6 mm stub axles for a secure connection under load.
• Rear steel straight axle — Solid rear axle construction for predictable rear traction and durability.
• Oil-filled limited-slip front differential — Helps control power delivery to the front wheels for better traction.
• Locked steel rear spool — Ensures consistent rear wheel behavior under throttle.
• Heavy-duty splined front driveshaft — Robust spline design improves drivetrain life during hard use.
• Fixed-length steel rear driveshaft — Simple, dependable connection with fewer moving parts to service.
• 2270 metal-gear steering servo — Chassis-mounted digital high-torque waterproof servo with dual-bellcrank bearing system and integrated servo saver for reliable steering input.
• Solid steering links — Non-adjustable links keep the steering system rugged and resistant to damage.
• Independent front suspension — Double-wishbone front setup with captured rod ends for predictable handling and scale motion.
• Triangulated 4-link rear with solid axle — Rear layout combines scale appearance with strong axle control.
• Composite trailing arms and steel upper links — Trailing arms are composite for some flex under impact while steel upper links give three optional mounting positions for suspension tuning.
• Eight long-travel aluminum GTR shocks — Four shocks come pre-sprung with adjustable ride-height collars for tuning ride height and damping feel.
• Functional sway bars and limit straps — Front and rear sway bars smooth body roll and detailed rear limit straps are functional and add realism.
• Replica BFGoodrich KR3 tires — Off-road tread pattern mounted on beadlock-style 17 mm dual-diameter wheels for scale appearance and traction.
• Sealed ball bearings — Bearings throughout the driveline and wheels reduce friction and simplify maintenance.
• Hex hardware with black oxide coating — Rust-resistant hardware helps parts last longer in wet or dusty conditions.
