The Traxxas XRT 8S (TRX78086-4) fuses race-inspired design with X-Maxx power to create a new 8s platform with sharp reflexes and exceptional stability. Its low centre of gravity, ultra-wide stance and low-profile body deliver confidence and control, exploiting the upper range of 8s performance with an all-out top speed of 60+ mph when using two 4s LiPos and the included optional gearing.

Performance And Handling

Engineered for speed, handling and precision, the XRT’s race-focused low-CG chassis places critical components and dual 4s batteries as low as possible for stability. Traxxas Gravix race tyres provide densely packed biting edges and sipes for strong grip on hard-packed surfaces with fast, quiet running.

Proven All-Metal Driveline

The XRT is built around a monster-truck-tough, all-metal 8s driveline: steel 4-gear differentials and steel driveshafts are tied together by a high-strength extruded aluminium centre shaft. Power comes from the Velineon 1200XL brushless motor and VXL-8s speed control, backed by TQi 2.4GHz radio with TSM receiver for precise control.

The Traxxas XRT™ fuses race-inspired design and engineering with X-Maxx® power and strength. The result is an all-new platform with sharp reflexes and unprecedented stability that is capable of exploiting the upper range of extreme 8s power and speed.

BUILT FOR SPEED AND HANDLING

PROVEN TOUGH ALL-METAL DRIVELINE
XRT performance and durability begins with its all-metal 8s driveline. Steel 4-gear differentials and steel driveshafts are joined by a high-strength extruded aluminum center shaft. It’s a precision-engineered recipe that has been proven monster-truck tough in the X-Maxx. 

RACE-INSPIRED LOW-CG CHASSIS
XRT’s performance-focused chassis design is configured to lower the center of gravity for superior handling and stability. The dual 6700 4s batteries and the steering servo are positioned to place the weight as low as possible in the chassis and provide protection for these critical components. 

TRAXXS GRAVIX™ RACE TIRES
XRT’s Gravix™ race tires are a revolutionary new hybrid design with densely packed biting edges and sipes. They deliver outstanding grip on hard-packed surfaces along with fast and quiet-running precision.

hi guys just wondering if this can run on two 3s lipo to get used to it or will it only run on two 4s lipo packs will be getting the car on the traxxas day.
Wayne / 27th June 2024

Yes it will run on 2x3s but will be much slower which you could do by putting the vehicle into training mode on the esc when running 2x 4s lipos.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Does your company sell products (traxxas red XRT) on amazon
Andy Brown / 21st July 2023

No we do not sell on Amazon just through the website www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Can the Traxxas XRT be programmed to use Nicam batteries, say two7.2v in series? thanks
Mike Harris / 26th April 2023

Due to the power of the motor and the amps it pulls this would need lipo batteries to power it , the esc can be put into nimh mode but 2x7.2v batteries would not be enough to power the vehicle and would damage the batteries.
