• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — sealed design lets you run in wet or dusty conditions without worry.
• XL-5 drive modes: Sport (forward / brake / reverse), Race (forward / brake), and patented Training Mode (reduced power for safer learning).
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — easy configuration of the speed control for quick, reliable setup.
• Battery chemistry support — compatible with NiMH and short-form LiPo packs and features two-stage low-voltage detection for safe operation.
• Titan 12T 550 brushed motor — 550-size modified motor with internal cooling fan and oversized armature for strong torque and improved power handling.
• Motor design keeps maintenance low for lots of driving between tune-ups.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna for comfortable control.
• Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver included, with fail-safe security to keep the truck under control if signal is lost.
• Patented O-ring sealed watertight receiver box keeps the micro receiver dry and protected.
• Includes battery and charger — a 3000 mAh Traxxas 7-cell NiMH battery with iD and a 4-amp 12 V DC peak-detecting fast charger.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile design improves stability and keeps electronics securely fastened.
• Easy-access battery compartment — accepts 6-cell flat packs, 7-cell hump packs, and short-form 2-cell LiPo packs for flexible power options.
• Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission — brushless-ready gearbox with Torque-Control slipper clutch for tunable engagement.
