The Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL 3S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck unleashes extreme monster truck fun with the power and speed only Traxxas can deliver. Grab a fistful of throttle and the huge Velineon 540XL motor delivers a massive torque punch to wheelie on command, and then keeps pouring on the thrust for a 60+ MPH top speed. The Torque Biasing Center Drive and heavy-duty shaft-driven 4WD system transfers maximum power to the ultra-aggressive Sledgehammer tires. It’s built to absolutely shred any terrain, from dirt and sand to mud and snow. Pitch Hoss hard and fast into a turn and Traxxas Stability Management goes to work behind the scenes to help keep you solidly on track while you’re blazing new trails. Non-stop fun and performance always come first, so Hoss stays true to the Traxxas heritage of rugged strength and durability which is engineered into every component. Drive harder, go faster, hang tougher— Nothing stops the Hoss!

Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL 3S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck (Orange)
Fantastic out of the box speeds on a 3S Lipo. Beware for novice users, even on 50% on a 2S Lipo, the speeds can be pretty high for entry level users so have some space available for users that are learning on the training mode. Steering was spot on out the of the box no issues. Ran for an hour on a couple of 3S Lipos and even with a lot of top speed runs across the park, no issues with the servo, motor heat, or any other issues. I added the Dusty Motors cover out of the box and fitment was perfect by the way. I was unclear if there was an included fan on the ESC, glad to find there was a stock fan (nothing special but it does the job). I was a little annoyed to find out a couple days after my purchase they added a new Red color that I much would have preferred, but not Amain's fault. Just be aware there are now 3 colors at this time (Green, Orange, and Red).

No intentions at this time to perform much changes as I have other vehicles to run, very happy with the performance and usage out of the box. Tons of power and capability to run through tall grass fields, dirt, gravel, and pavement. TSM is a nice feature for high speed stability. I had trouble getting the auto self righting feature when the training mode was engaged, but I suspect that the reduction in power keeps this feature from working when in training mode. I would think it could be programmed to allow the feature full power when attempting this maneuver, but that is a mild complaint.

Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL 3S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck (Orange)
I bought this originally for my son when he was 9. He has had experience running hobby grade RC sense he was little so this is perfect for him. I have to say though this is now my second favorite Traxxas Truck ever behind my Maxx. This after having owned a T-Maxx, E-Maxx, Revo, E-Revo, 2WD Stampede, 4WD Stampede, and Rustler VXL 4WD. The bigger motor from the Maxx gives this thing torque that the 3300 VXL motor just doesn't have. Plus the center differential and other little upgrades make it stand head and tails above the 4WD Stampede and 4WD Rustler. I also like the tires on this better than any monster truck tire Traxxas has released. These are the best multi use tires Traxxas has made in my opinion and I am glad to see they have a Maxx version of them too. We have since purchased the light kit which adds some night driving fun as well. Only breakage has been the front arms and front shocks due to a pretty nasty head on with my Maxx.

Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL 3S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck (Orange)
this truck is not good at all its built very very bad. I didn't even have this less than a month it cant handle jumps I broke shocks like crazy just doing small jumps off of small bike ramps. and when I was doing speed runs it was extremely hard to control and i had to replace the rear diff gears and the center diff after I replaced all that the axles were braking and the traction control doesn't even work. don't waist your time buying this truck. get the REVO instead because the HOSS is just a crappier version of the REVO built like a monster truck. if you want a better truck get the REVO its built better and stronger. DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY OR TIME WITH THIS TRUCK.
