The Traxxas TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler is a ground breaking product that could only come from Traxxas. With a feature set that includes parts that you would expect to buy separately, the TRX-4 delivers versatility and capability in a fully ready to run package. The TRX-4 is built for crawling the Traxxas way - rugged, powerful, and ready for fun!



Ultimate Ground Clearance
The TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler is equipped right out of the box with Traxxas' game-changing portal axle set. Portal axles lift the truck at the wheels for huge center pumpkin ground clearance. In order to achieve the same clearance with straight axles (and not get stuck), your tires would have to be over an inch taller than the TRX-4's tires. Straddling boulders with ease, the TRX-4 chassis definitely takes the path less traveled and simply leaves all the others behind.

Torque Twist Eliminated
The portal axles use gear reduction right at the wheels that dramatically reduces undesirable torque twist. Total axle gear reduction is over twice non-portal designs. The Titan 550 motor torque is translated into straight, powerful, forward motion, rather than wasted energy twisting your rig right off the rocks.

Improved Geometry
Portal axle geometry raises the axle link mounts and center driveshaft, greatly reducing critical driveshaft and suspension link angles. This means less strain on the driveshafts, and the higher suspension links provide greater clearance with less scraping and dragging across the rocks. The steering drag link and tie rod are also raised up and out of harm's way.

Rigid Steel Frame
A heavy-duty formed-steel ladder frame with molded cross members creates an extremely rigid backbone that lets the suspension do the work it was designed to do. You’ll feel the difference on trails where the elimination of chassis flex allows for precise wheel placement when navigating technical terrain.

Remote Locking Differentials
Traxxas gives you the versatility to lock and unlock the front and rear differentials to suit your driving needs directly from your transmitter. Leave the differentials unlocked for relaxed driving on the trail with smooth, tight turning and better handling at high speeds. When the trail gets technical, lock the front and rear differentials, or just the front, for superior grip over extreme terrain. This patented design has been proven rugged and capable in the Traxxas Summit. Sleeved micro cables control the differential action for scale appearance, without limiting the huge suspension articulation.

45° Steering Angle
Traditional crawlers sacrifice turning radius for traction. The TRX-4’s remote locking differentials disengage to take full advantage of its superior 45 degree steering angle. Once you clear the obstacle, re-engage the differentials for ultimate traction.

Hi/Low Range Transmission
When the going gets tough, use your transmitter to shift into low range for incredible 4-wheel drive pulling torque. Shift into high range for blasting down the trail. The plush suspension design absorbs rough terrain with ease and delivers outstanding scale appearance. Unmatched versatility makes the TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler adaptable to just about any situation or driving style.

Metal Gear Digital Servo
A full-metal gear digital servo gives you the durability and steering authority you need to confidently and reliably power through tough situations.

Waterproof
Traxxas was the first to bring you fully waterproof RC vehicles years ago with their innovative designs. The TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler is fully waterproof for how you like to really play, not “splash resistant.” There is a big difference. Traxxas’ patented innovation gives you the freedom to tackle creeks, snow, and mud without worrying about water in your electronics.

Scale Detail
The TRX-4 Trail and Scale is being shown with the legendary Land Rover Defender body, complete with exciting scale details for an authentic 4-wheelin’ experience. Traxxas included a functional spare wheel and tire, an off-road jack, and spare fuel canisters. Secure your trail gear in the included roof basket. There’s even a snorkel for taking the waterproof TRX-4 through creek crossings. The rugged bumpers provide clearance and protection and are equipped with recovery D-rings. The front bumper is designed to be compatible with many popular off-road accessories.

Inner Fenders
The scale details did not stop with the body. Traxxas went underneath to install detailed inner fenders that integrate with the scale look of the floor pans and shock towers, keeping rocks, mud, and twigs out of the chassis. The inner fenders are also equipped with pockets to install optional LED rock light kit (sold separately) to light up the night trail, casting light right where it’s needed. The rock lights make changing a “flat tire” on the trail a breeze! Integrated rock sliders help protect the body from damage.

Cruise Control
The Traxxas TQi radio system is equipped with cruise control for long-distance treks. Set your speed using the transmitter and then use the multi-function knob to fine-tune it faster or slower to precisely match the pace of your caravan of trail explorers. Cruise control makes it easy and comfortable for the TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler to be your companion for hours of driving fun and exploration.

3S Power System
The XL-5 HV electronic speed control brings 3S LiPo capability for stronger, more efficient running. Updated speed control profiles have been added for smooth and precise control. A Trail profile facilitates smooth driving for most of your adventures, while a Crawl profile introduces hill hold and instant reverse for extremely technical courses. Either will help you navigate obstacles with ease, right from the start. Long run times, up to 2 hours, are possible with a Traxxas 3S 5000mAh iD LiPo battery pack!

Canyon Trail 1.9 Tires
The 1.9 Canyon Trail tires and tuned foam inserts are super-soft and grippy to deliver superior bite on rocky surfaces with convincing scale realism. The 12mm steel hex drive makes the TRX-4 chassis compatible with popular 1.9 wheel and tire combinations.

Traxxas Tough
Leave the tools in the bag! The Traxxas TRX-4 chassis is built to handle the rigors of remote locations and all-day driving fun. The foundation begins with a pair of 1.5mm thick steel frame rails. Large diameter steel links and heavy-duty, extra-wide rod ends keep the suspension firmly mounted. Hardened steel CV-style half-shaft joints are ultra reliable, while the brushless-ready steel portal axle and transfer case gears are smooth and quiet. Traxxas’ composite materials have been refined over three decades for the ultimate in strength and durability.

Aluminum GTS Shocks
Oil-filled coil-over GTS shocks were created exclusively for the TRX-4 chassis. These silver-anodized aluminum units deliver silky-smooth damping performance and feature threaded shock bodies for easy ride height adjustments. The convincing scale realism looks great and they perform even better with an O-ring cap seal and dual X-ring shaft seals.

Extreme Capability
Steep approach angles front and rear allow the TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler to tackle big obstacles head on. The front motor design biases weight forward for superior climbing ability compared to other designs.

Traxxas TRX-4 1/10 Scale Trail Rock Crawler w/Land Rover Defender Body (Red)
The TRX-4 Defender has awesome reviews and has about every crawler feature anyone would want. Traxxas has a great reputation and product line best known for a combination of toughness, parts availability and feature sets. I've owned and enjoyed a low chassis Slash 4x4 for a couple of years and it has been great.

Never trust a review that misspells "good", "Traxxas", and "garbage" all in one 11-word, poorly punctuated sentence.

Traxxas TRX-4 1/10 Scale Trail Rock Crawler w/Land Rover Defender Body (Red)
Currently I own an axial SCX 10, as well as a axial yeti score trophy truck, As well as also having an airplane,a small helicopter,A 39 inch pro boat V bottom boat, and lastly my new, and I have to say most favorite now Traxxas TRX-4. This RTR is amazing, very stable, good looking, and just about everything you could ask for in a crawler. The only thing I can comment on is how well it's going to hold up, this remains to be seen. Although I do have to say I have good vibes, I'll keep you informed.

TRX-4 is great it climbs hills on steep up hill grade like no body's business. It is definitely top heavy and will roll if your not watching your approaches. I have had tovreplace the steering servo horn as the plastic stripped out in 3 drives going down hill. Love it. .

Traxxas TRX-4 1/10 Scale Trail Rock Crawler w/Land Rover Defender Body (Red)
Just got it and I didn't have much time to put it through its paces but I love it so far. I have several Trail Trucks in its class from Traxxas and other manufactures but I can tell already that this is going to be one of my favorites. So far I like everything about it. I will get back with a full review in about a month or so.

Traxxas TRX-4 1/10 Scale Trail Rock Crawler w/Land Rover Defender Body (Red)
I love this truck! It is so much fun to drive around and over rocks,sand,wood and everything else. The Land Rover Defender body looks great. I strap drinks, beers and water on the rack to deliver refreshments to my family and friends while we're camping. They get a kick out of it! Some minor issues I found is that the gear shift sometimes does not engage properly where it seems to be in between hi and lo gears so I would hit the throttle and it doesn't move. I will then need to shift a few times until it engages. I also noticed that the portion of the chassis where the Traxxas logo was etched in to bear metal had started to rust a little. I will sand it out and paint over it. The steering servo also went out after a few days which I expected from reading reviews that the servo is too weak for this size truck. I had a spare so no problem but it was inconvenient. Other than that it's a great truck. It's not super fast on 2s lipo but I didn't get it for speed. Seeing it bouncing around on the beach makes you feel like like your on Safari! It does tip over easily but it's because of the top heavy body.I put the traxxas light kit on it and it completes the look. Looking forward to hooking this up with more accessories.

Traxxas really delivers something that you get hop right into the hobby with. Excellent right out of the box but everyone wants upgrades. Plan some extra spending for that. This isn't the cheapest option but it's always the one they compare other crawlers too.

Traxxas TRX-4 1/10 Scale Trail Rock Crawler w/Land Rover Defender Body (Red)
Such a fun crawler / trail truck ! Out of the box I would give it a 7/10 but with a few upgrades becomes a 10/10! I put a better servo wheels and bumpers and it made a it absolutely amazing. It’s a little on the pricey side but compared to the axial scx series it becomes a steal! I mostly bash 1/8th scale trucks this is such a nice change of pace. The remote locking diffs is gr8 and the 2 speed transmission is awesome. I would definitely recommend as well as purchase again ???

Traxxas TRX-4 1/10 Scale Trail Rock Crawler w/Land Rover Defender Body (Red)
The Defender was my first Traxxas RTR. It is a bit top heavy, but that's easy enough to fix lowering the center of gravity with some of the optional weight accessories and widening the wheel width a bit. Great Crawler with nice accessories to make it stand out. Lucked out with mine and got one with the newer upgrades. Very happy with it.
