BIG FUN AND ADVENTURE IN A SMALLER TRX-4
Introducing TRX-4M, a new way to experience all the fun, adventure, and scale realism of the TRX-4 in a 1/18 platform. TRX-4M bridges the gap between the small crawler scene and 1/10 scale quality and performance. Oil-filled shocks, steel frame rails, and a smooth running drivetrain give it true outdoor capability over rocks and through grass and streams. The tight turning radius and precise throttle control give it fantastic indoor maneuverability.
INNOVATION - TRX-4M captures all the functionality of a full-size TRX-4 in a smaller 1/18 size for an all-new driving experience.
THE RIGHT SIZE FOR FUN
TRX-4M is the perfect size to fit in a backpack for fun on the go. It’s small, powerful, and maneuverable so just about any space becomes an instant trail or crawling course. Whether it’s a mountain of books indoors or a rock garden in the backyard, TRX-4M is always ready for big fun and adventure.
ALL-TERRAIN VERSATILITY
TRX-4M is equipped to take on tough off-road terrain with grippy soft-compound tires, precision-engineered 4-link suspension geometry, and smooth oil-filled shocks. High center ground clearance, big approach angles, and low CG give the TRX-4M impressive capability everywhere it goes.
45° STEERING ANGLE
A full 45° steering angle gives TRX-4M an exceptionally tight turning radius and extreme maneuverability in small spaces where every inch counts. A heavy-duty 2065T steering servo delivers powerful steering authority, even on thick carpet.
OIL-FILLED GTM SHOCKS
TRX-4M’s oil-filled GTM shocks offer smooth suspension damping to keep the wheels firmly planted on uneven surfaces. The added control also keeps the body from bouncing around on rough terrain for a more realistic driving experience.
DETAILED ABS BODY WITH CLIPLESS MOUNTING
The innovative clipless body removes and installs in just seconds with no clips to lose or frustrating hook and loop tabs. Tough, highly detailed ABS bodies feature molded-in color with a deep glossy finish that won’t chip or scrape off.
WATERPROOF ELECTRONICS
TRX-4M is the truck that goes where you want to go, without boundaries or restrictions. Only Traxxas’ fully-waterproof innovation gives you the freedom to drive through wet grass, puddles, and streams that force others to turn around.
ULTIMATE SMAL-SCALE CRAWLER
TRX-4M provides all the fun and versatility of a compact crawler without any of the limitations. TRX-4M is larger and yet more maneuverable than 1/24 scale vehicles with its tighter turning radius. TRX-4M’s tires and superior ground clearance open the door for tough off-road terrain and big challenges.
HEAVY-DUTY STEEL LADDER FRAME
TRX-4M performs like a full-size crawler because it’s built like one. A rigid steel ladder frame virtually eliminates flex to put more power to the ground. The steel frame rails are taller through the middle section for increased strength where it’s needed most.
TRAIL-READY CHASSIS & DRIVELINE
TRX-4M rides on a sophisticated four-link suspension with heavy-duty linkages. Spool-equipped solid axles supply non-stop climbing power to all four wheels with excellent articulation to climb over the toughest obstacles. Heavy-duty telescoping center driveshafts send the motor’s torque to the axles with a smooth-running CV design.
TIGHT TURNING RADIUS
TRX-4M outmaneuvers much smaller trucks thanks to its exceptional 45° steering angle—an impressive feat considering its larger and more versatile size.
DETAILED ABS BODIES
Constructed out of tough ABS, TRX-4M bodies faithfully capture all the details of the full-size Bronco and Defender in exacting 1/18 scale. Tinted windows, spare tire carriers, and other molded body accessories give TRX-4M a truly authentic appearance.
LED DRIVING LIGHTS
TRX-4M’s standard LED driving lights create new avenues for fun as you challenge your driving skills through sofa-cushion tunnels or over garden obstacles when the sun goes down.
SOFT-COMPOUND TYRES
TRX-4M’s larger 1/18 size puts more rubber to the ground for exceptional off-road performance. Detailed wheels and tires are sized just right to carry TRX-4M up and over real-world obstacles with a stunning scale appearance.
WATERPROOF ELECTRONICS
You’ll never need to change course to avoid puddles, mud, or snow. We built TRX-4M for all-weather adventure with fully-waterproof electronics.
INNOVATIVE NEW ELECTRONICS
The all-in-one ECM-2.5 incorporates all the features of an XL-5 speed control, TQ receiver, and Pro Scale Lighting Control Module into one sleek waterproof package. The ECM-2.5 features three realistic driving modes with smooth, precise control and outstanding throttle response.
TRAXXAS TITAN 180 87T MOTOR
The powerful 87-turn Titan 180 motor delivers precise low-speed torque to propel the TRX-4M up and over technical obstacles. On the trail, the TRX-4M offers surprising speed to keep pace as you walk alongside to find the next challenge.
HIGH CAPACITY LIPO BATTERY AND FAST CHARGER
A high-capacity 750 mAh 2-cell LiPo battery provides over an hour of runtime with 7.4 volts of high-performance power and Traxxas iD safety and simplicity. The included USB-powered charger provides quick and reliable fast charging at up to 2-amps of charging capability.
TQ TRANSMITTER
TRX-4M comes with a full-size TQ transmitter for all-day comfort, reliability, and precise long-range control.
PRO-SCALE LIGHTING FUNCTIONS
Easily add accessory brake lights, reverse lights, headlights, and more by simply installing the Pro Scale LED light kit (sold separately) and plugging it into the ECM. The lighting control functions are already built in to the ECM-2.5.
