introduction
Thank you for purchasing the all-new Traxxas TRX-4 Scale and Trail
Crawler. The design of the TRX-4 instantly obsoletes the status quo
with greatly expanded features and versatility. The TRX-4 features
the powerful Titan
®
21T 550 motor, waterproof electronics, and
a smooth XL-5 HV 3s LiPo-capable electronic speed control. The
game-changing portal axles provide greater ground clearance
while the rigid steel frame eliminates chassis flex and allows you
to navigate tough terrain. The new Canyon Trail 1.9 tires feature
tuned foam inserts to deliver superior bite on rocky surfaces with
convincing scale realism. In other words, we built it the Traxxas
way -- rugged, powerful, and ready to handle the rigors of remote
locations and all-day driving fun!
