Traxxas TRX-4MT Chevrolet K10 1979 1:18 RTR Black

Extra ground clearance

The factory-installed TRX-4M Long Arm Lift kit and large Terra Groove tires increase center ground clearance by 88% for an authentic monster truck stance. A total of eight shocks on modified towers and extended suspension rods ensure that the model maintains a carefully tuned suspension geometry for peak performance.

Bigger tires

Huge Terra Groove tires give the TRX-4 MT an authentic look. The tires are mounted on chrome wheels with a deep rim and imitation Beadlock. They provide excellent traction with an aggressive tread pattern that bites into loose surfaces. The grippy rubber compound is also great on carpet, grass and pavement.

Servo with metal gears

The RC model car is factory equipped with an upgraded servo (2065R) to ensure sure handling even with larger Terra Groove tires. This waterproof* servo is equipped with all-metal gears for maximum durability in the most demanding conditions.

Extended metal chassis frame

The extended chassis with a longer wheelbase consists of two C-shaped steel profiles connected by plastic crossbars, thus ensuring a rigid structure that minimizes twisting. Heavier components such as the battery and motor are stored on the bottom of the chassis to maintain a low center of gravity. Double shock absorber towers and control unit beds are used for pick-up body installation.

Suspension for Trial

The TRX-4M uses a sophisticated 4-point solid axle suspension with heavy-duty tie rods and ball-joint ends.

4x4 drive

The 4x4 drive is realized through fixed differentials. For extremely smooth running, there are parallel CV joints on the front axle.

Telescopic shafts

Telescopic central drive shafts allow for full suspension travel and are also equipped with parallel CV joints.

Turning angle 45°

The 45° turning angle of the front wheels gives the model an exceptionally small turning radius and high maneuverability of the model, suitable for driving indoors or during trial rides over obstacles. Compared to other models of this size, the TRX-4MT has a turning radius up to 50% smaller.

GTM oil shock absorbers

The TRX-4MT features dual GTM oil-filled shock absorbers for a smooth ride and realistic handling without. The shock absorbers absorb the shocks and the ride is beautifully smooth without bouncy. Double lower shock towers are used.

• Easy spring preload adjustment with washers
  
• Long run of shock absorbers with oil filling
  
• Double O-rings for sealing
  

Easy removal of the battery

The well-thought-out system of securing the battery in the bulkhead using a rubber band is a small thing, but it greatly simplifies and speeds up the replacement of the battery. In addition, the rubber band firmly fixes the battery.

Wheels and tires

Giant 3.1" Terra Groove tires with an aggressive tread pattern are glued to the 1.33" deep rim chrome rims and beadlock mock-up rims for great looks and better traction. The driver is a 7 mm hexagon.

Servo steering

Traxxas TQ RC Kit

The model is controlled by a two-channel proportional steering wheel RC radio Traxxas TQ, working in the 2.4 GHz band - operation without interference. The transmitter is powered by only 4 AA cells.

There is a rotary knob on the transmitter that trims the steering (so that the model goes straight if the steering wheel is in the center position). The status of the batteries in the transmitter is indicated by an LED. Reverse can be set on the transmitter on the throttle and steering channels.

Accumulator

The included 2S LiPo 750 mAh battery provides powerful power for up to 1 hour of operation. The specially designed connector plugs directly into the control unit.

USB charger

The package includes a USB charger for convenient charging. The specially designed ID connector is safe and prevents incorrect connection. The charging status is displayed by the LED on the charger.
Although the charger can be powered from any USB-A output, for fast charging with a current of up to 2A it is necessary to have a sufficiently powerful USB source, see we recommend buying

Recommended spare batteries

To extend the driving time, we recommend purchasing another identical battery, which is included in the package.

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 joint 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.
