Key Features

• Clipless short course body — smooth, clip-free look that removes quickly and holds tightly during hard action.
• Front and rear tube-style bumpers — protective bumpers defend the nose and tail during heavy impacts.
• Body reinforcements — added support prevents pull-through damage on rough runs.
• No body posts or clips — clean appearance and faster body removal for maintenance or repairs.
• Includes battery and USB-C charger — a 3000 mAh Traxxas NiMH battery with iD is supplied, plus a 4-amp USB-C fast charger for quick turnarounds.
• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — three selectable drive profiles: Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake), and Training Mode (50% forward/brake/50% reverse, patented).
• EZ-Set one-button setup — easy programming and quick configuration from the transmitter.
• Multi chemistry support — XL-5 works with NiMH and LiPo packs and uses two-stage low-voltage detection for safe operation.
• Titan 12T 550 motor — high-speed brushed motor with an internal cooling fan for stronger torque and better power handling.
