Characteristics
The Traxxas XRT 8S 1:6 scale RC car model combines excellent race-inspired design and construction with the performance and power of the legendary X-Maxx. The result is a completely new off-road car platform with sharp handling and high stability, which is even faster with the new super powerful VXL-8S drive , reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h as standard!
A model designed for the maximum driving experience of all competitors. It has a low center of gravity, wide wheel track and top components for extreme performance. The chassis is nylon with modular construction and integrated damper mounts. The construction is based on the X-Maxx model and is highly impact resistant. The all-metal drivetrain consists of a "Cush Drive" shock absorber, front, center and rear differentials, an aluminum center shaft, steel half-axles and dual-bearing wheel hubs.
The model is powered by a specially adapted new VXL-8S regulator with sharper characteristics and a powerful Velineon 1200XL AC motor. The Traxxas TQi programmable transmitter allows the addition of a Bluetooth module (sold separately) for the ability to connect the model to a mobile phone and display telemetry data such as driving speed or engine speed.
For convenient model preparation, the body is clipless, with easy assembly and disassembly. The batteries are secured in the compartments by a partition with a latch. It is a responsive, fast and convenient battery replacement system.
Modular design
The modular design allows disassembly of the complete front or rear part. In a few minutes you have full access to easy service and model settings. The modularity of the car chassis significantly simplifies maintenance, it makes it much easier to get to the differentials, etc.
Nylon chassis
The chassis of the model is made of a composite molding, which, thanks to its spatial concept, is very rigid and at the same time light. This construction allows it to absorb hard impacts without permanent damage. From the bottom, the chassis is protected by three sliding plates, which can be easily replaced in case of damage.
Integrated shock towers
The model uses proven technology that integrates the damper tower directly into the chassis, which ensures exceptional strength and durability. In addition, during an impact, the energy is distributed into the chassis structure and dampened.
Durable components
The suspension arms are made from the most durable composite material Traxxas uses. The front bumper and the rear wing holder have an ingenious design with an absorption zone in the event of an impact.
GTX dampers
Massive GTX shocks are precisely designed and tuned for this big model. They consist of an aluminum, colored anodized body, solid steel piston rods with ball pins, massive springs and precise sealing X-rings. For proper operation, shock absorbers are filled with oil of optimal viscosity.
Sharp steering
The Dual-Bellcrank steering system ensures quick and precise steering response. The cam servo saver is located in the upper part of the column and protects the steering from impacts.
Engine mount and radiator
Four bolts with a locking pin firmly hold the motor in place and define the exact gap between the teeth at a given gear ratio. The engine is equipped with a radiator with two fans to maintain the correct operating temperature even under full load.
Compartments for batteries
The Traxxas XRT 8S remote control car model includes two compartments on the sides of the chassis to accommodate two LiPol 4S batteries. The position at the bottom of the compartments keeps the center of gravity low.
Powertrain
The XRT RC car model uses an all-metal drivetrain, adopted and rigorously tested, from the X-Maxx model. The differential boxes are also the same for faultless bearing support.
Cush drive absorption system
The innovative Cush drive system uses a special part equipped with elastomer silent blocks to absorb the shock of the engine. The system replaces the friction clutch and enables a more efficient and reliable drive without complex adjustments.
Differentials
To distribute the power of the 4x4 drive, the model is equipped with a front, central and rear differential. The center differential uses a very thick 20M cSt oil to use full power without slipping under lightning acceleration. The axle differentials are fitted with four metal gears for durability and long life.
Center drive shaft
The transmission of power between the axles is realized by an aluminum central drive shaft with splines. Innovative sealing keeps dust and dirt out of the center tunnel.
Steel axles
Robust steel drive shafts with splined output from the differential safely transfer the full power of the engine to the wheels. Thanks to the parallel joint design (CV), the shafts have a smooth operation in every suspension position.
Hubs with bearings
The new high-strength weights feature large encapsulated ball bearings and are a compatible upgrade for the X-Maxx model. (#7832, #7836, #7852)
XRT wheels
The large 3.8" racing rims feature a matte black finish, a large 24mm carrier (slotted hex) and a 17mm aluminum lock nut for secure locking on the hub shaft. Gravix tires are designed for excellent performance both on the track and off-road. The strong center shell reduces bulging when high speed.

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.
