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 (Shadow Red)
Great truck! It has plenty of power and is easy to control. I did have a tire come unglued the first time out, but this is an easy fix.

Edit: I’ve had this for a few weeks. Have broken several axles in the u joint by the hub. Once was in training mode. I contacted traxxas customer support and they told me to drive more careful. It was literally at 50 percent power and on hard packed dirt. Driving in a straight line. Would not recommend this product. Yes they make upgrades for the axles but for the price of the truck it should not break with limited power.

Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL 3S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck (Shadow Red)
I bought a TRX6 but wanted something to DRIVE and tear around with. Picked this up and drove it around my work parking lot (jumped snow drifts, etc., and even hit a tree head on). My co-worker has the XMAXX and we both thought for sure I had just destroyed this rig on my first attempt. We were both shocked that I was still able to keep driving even after launching over a few 4 foot drifts, while his XMAXX flipped end over and and busted a shock and had to stop driving while I kept going. I had read all those talking about breaking theirs after 5 mins and bashing the plastic parts, but I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with this rig compared to the RCs I had back in the late 80s. Only thing I did not like was the GPS & Extender - no where secure to mount it (yet). I was going to 3D print my own bracket, but I am having too much fun actually being able to drive this as much as I want without breaking parts each time I drive. (3S batteries for me since that is what the TRX6 uses).

Bought the Hoss from amain back in July 2021 on ebay. It is very fast and fun to rip around with. Traxxas makes quality products that are reliable. It has been a great addition to my collection and plan on adding upgrades over time. Much recommended.

Love the truck. Everything I wanted and more!!!
Traxxas knocked it out of the park with this truck. The quick release body is great. And the self righting feature is cool too.

Drove the RC car for the first time and it took only 5 mintues for the back wheel to break. Plastic parts are not that durable
