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.

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