Traxxas Teton 1:18 4WD RTR Red

Chassis

The Traxxas Teton is a 1:18 scale monster truck RC remote control car model. The chassis is made of nylon filled with glass fibers. Thanks to the well-thought-out design, it was possible to reduce its center of gravity as much as possible and thereby improve driving characteristics. Despite its small size, this RC model is equipped like a big car. You can look forward to independent wheel suspension, suspension with shock absorbers and power distribution through the front and rear differential to the semi-axles and then to the wheels.

Differentials

Just like real cars, this RC model uses a front differential that distributes the torque between the wheels and allows different speeds on the front wheels when cornering. This makes the ride smooth and the toy car has excellent driving characteristics. For perfect power distribution, the model is also equipped with a rear differential. Long service life is guaranteed by metal gears.

Oil dampers

The suspension is implemented using shock absorbers. In order for the RC model not to vibrate while driving and to be excellently steerable, the shock absorbers are filled with oil.

Easy access to the battery

The battery is fixed in the chassis of the model through a door that is secured by only one clip. Changing the battery in the chassis is only a matter of seconds. The battery is equipped with a Traxxas connector with Traxxas iD technology (automatic identification of the battery type iD by Traxxas chargers).

Off-road bikes

Not only a great chassis, it will ensure excellent cross-country ability, but above all LaTrax off-road tires with a distinctive pattern.

Servo steering

Traxxas servo 2065 digital nano servo with DC motor and nylon gears. The servo has a torque of 2.5 kg.cm and a speed of 0.20 s/60°@ 6.0 V. For water resistance*, the servo box is fitted with a seal.

DC motor

The model is powered by a powerful 370 series DC motor with 23 turns.

LaTrax electronic controller

A waterproof* LaTrax DC regulator is installed in the model. The regulator provides sensitive fully proportional motor operation. In electronics, modern MOSFET transistors with high efficiency and low losses are used for perfect performance. Power supply 6 cells NiMH or 2 cells LiPol.

3 driving modes can be set on the controller:

• 
  
• Sport mode: full power forward and reverse, brake.
  
• Race mode: full power forward and brake, reverse is not available to meet the rules of some races.
  
• Training mode: 50% regulator power forward, 50% power backward, 100% brake. This mode is suitable for getting to know the driving characteristics of the model for the first time or for children.
  

2.4 GHz receiver

The three-channel Latrax 2.4 GHz receiver ensures safe driving without interruptions. Easy pairing with one button. Status indication by means of an LED diode.

LaTrax TQ steering wheel transmitter

The model is controlled by a two-channel proportional steering wheel RC kit LaTrax TQ in the 2.4 GHz band - operation without interference. The transmitter is powered by only 4 AA cells, optionally you can also use rechargeable NiMH batteries.

There is a rotary knob on the transmitter that trims the wheel steering (i.e. to make the model go straight if the steering wheel is in the center position). The status of the batteries in the transmitter is indicated by an LED. The transmitter can be set to reverse on the throttle and steering channel (if you would like to use the transmitter to control other models).

Recommended chargers

• 
  
• Affordable Fusion Sprint NX84 Charger + Traxxas - Tamiya Conversion Cable.
  
• Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus 50W charger.
  

Recommended spare batteries

To extend the driving time, we recommend purchasing an additional battery. For normal riding and for children, we recommend buying one more NiMH battery.

• 
  
• Spare battery NiMH battery Traxxas 7.4 V 1200 mAh.
  
  
  

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need bolt glue, good quality tire glue, silicone shock oil and a set of screwdrivers. We recommend an affordable set of tools for cars from our range.

The thread or head of the screw is dripped with screw glue, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving prevent the screw connection from loosening. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with an adequate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it might be impossible to loosen a screw stuck like this!

Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks would gradually form in the tire around the rims!

Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the dampers of the model. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. For these cases, so-called repair kits are supplied. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are delivered to all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN surface are easily recognized by their golden-green color.
