Characteristics
Embark on a new journey of adventure with the Traxxas TRX-4 RC model car featuring a detailed licensed 1972 Chevrolet Blazer body . The proven TRX-4 chassis is newly factory equipped with a higher lift kit that adds an extra 2.5 cm of ground clearance. Thanks to this , larger 2.2" mock-up wheels could be fitted to the model. This gives the model a new, more aggressive stance, and the Chevrolet Blazer K5 1972 is much more stable and will overcome more challenging off-road obstacles.
The currency of the model is a beautifully crafted licensed Chevrolet Blazer K5 body from 1972. A clipless body system is used for quick and easy battery replacement. The body simply snaps its beaks into the wheel arches. The aggressive off-road appearance is supported by a number of chrome elements on the body such as the front grille, bumpers, wipers, mirrors and door handles. The side rails are complemented by wood imitation for an authentic look. Everything is complemented by the original chrome wheels with a center hub cap.
The model with the TRX-4 chassis is equipped with top technology with gantry axles, remote-controlled differential locks and a remote-controlled two-speed transmission. You can switch between individual driving modes and the cruise control function is also available. For example, the model can be further equipped with a functional winch, multifunctional lighting and a wide range of other accessories (sold separately) . It is the top quality, the wide variety of tuning parts and the possibility of gradual improvement that make the TRX-4 model the best expedition model in the world.
News overview
Higher ground clearance
The factory-installed Long Arm Lift kit increases the ground clearance by 2.5 cm. This allowed the use of larger 2.2” wheels with Canyon Trail tires. With this equipment, the RC model will be unbeatable in the field.
Detailed bodywork
The model faithfully reproduces one of the most iconic classic American models. Bright chrome mock-up elements contrast with high-gloss paint for an unmistakable look.
Clipless bodywork
The new system of fixing the body with beaks in the wheel arches ensures quick and easy battery replacement and the appearance of the body is not disturbed by the clips. Dismantling the body can only be done by pressing the beak and pulling the body upwards. Fitting the body is even easier, just put it on the chassis.
TRX-4 chassis
The TRX-4 chassis is built from two steel profiles that ensure sufficient rigidity of the chassis. Thanks to the proven location of the engine in the front part, sufficient load on the front wheels is ensured. The battery is located in the axis of the chassis, so the model is precisely balanced and does not tilt while driving. The chassis is thought through to the smallest detail, including cable routing and mounting holes for optional accessories.
Axles with axle transmission
The TRX-4 chassis uses gantry axles with an axle gearbox. The axle gearbox increases the ground clearance, reduces the stress on the differentials, transmission, cardan shafts and further reduces the torsional force - the model tilts less.
The front wheels can be turned by an angle of 45°, the steering is provided by a Traxxas 2075X servo with metal gears. Thanks to the new chassis, the model achieved a great approach angle.
Two-speed gearbox
The model is equipped with a two-speed gearbox. Gear change is controlled by the red rocker switch on the transmitter. This solution makes the TRX-4 chassis a very versatile model that can drive slowly and quickly - as you need.
Lockable differentials
The differential locks are independently controlled by 2 servos. The power from the servos is transmitted to the differentials using bowdens. The shutters are controlled by a three-position switch on the transmitter and provide the following combinations:
- Both differentials are open
- Only the front differential is locked
- Both differentials are closed
GTS oil dampers
The four oil-filled GTS dampers are longer thanks to the higher ground clearance and provide even smoother damping and perfect handling. The aluminum bodies of the shock absorbers are equipped with a nut to adjust the preload of the springs. Maximum tightness of the shock absorber around the piston rod is ensured by special sealing X-rings.
Authentic wheels
Large Canyon Trail tires in extra soft S1 compound are glued to replica original chrome 2.2" wheels with eight holes and center hub cap. Wheel carrier is 12mm.
Servo steering
The control of the model is ensured by the digital servo Traxxas 2075X high-torque, with a moment of 9 kg.cm. The servo is equipped with two ball bearings on the milled shaft and metal gears for maximum durability. Waterproof* construction.
Gearbox and differential servos
The model is equipped with a total of three waterproof* micro servos 2065 with a torque of 2.5 kg.cm. Two servos independently control the front and rear differential locks. The third servo then ensures the shifting of the two-speed gearbox.
Titan 21T engine
The model is powered by a Titan 21T 550 DC motor. The motor provides smooth operation from low revs. For better cooling, a propeller is integrated in the motor, blowing air to the rotor.
DC regulator
The heart of the Traxxas model is the XL-5 HV DC electronic controller. The regulator is intended for power supply with a 2-cell or 3-cell LiPo battery. The model can also be powered by 6-7-cell NiMH batteries. Simple choice of driving modes and other settings, using the EZ-SET button. Indication of the status of the controller by an LED diode. LVD protection against undercharging of the LiPo battery. Thermal protection. Water-resistant* construction.
The Traxxas XL-5 HV controller supports 5 driving modes:
- Sport : Drive forward, brake and reverse
- Race : Drive forward and brake. Reverse is not available
- Training : Forward driving limited to 50% power, braking 100% and reverse limited to 50%. this mode is suitable for children
- Trail : Drive forward, brake, reverse. Handling near neutral is very subtle
- Crawl : Driving forward, brake in neutral and straight back.
Traxxas TQi Four-Channel RC Kit with Bluetooth
In addition to precise and reliable control, the four-channel transmitter is also equipped with a slot for placing a Bluetooth module (sold separately). The Bluetooth module allows you to connect the RC model with the clear graphic application Traxxas Link, which you can install on your smartphone for free.
The Traxxas Link app for Apple devices is available for free on the AppStore , the app for Google Android devices is free on GooglePlay .
The Traxxas Link App is a powerful application that gives you complete control over the operation and tuning of your Traxxas RC model with stunning visualization and absolute accuracy of settings.

LED lighting
For a breathtaking look during evening adventure trips, we recommend fitting the model with original LED lighting. The lighting not only looks great, but also illuminates the road perfectly.
- Constant lighting - All LED lights of this lighting are constantly on. The kit can later be upgraded to Pro Scale.
- Pro Scale multifunctional lighting - realistic functions like on a real car (functional brake and reverse lights, functional turn signals and warning lights, adjustable headlight intensity). The possibility of remote lighting control using a phone via a Bluetooth module.
Both types of lighting can be supplemented with fender lighting.
Winch
The winch is an integral part of every expedition model that will pull you out of any terrain. The original Traxxas winch is accurately, to scale, designed for TRX models. The winch is controlled by a remote control and develops a pulling force of up to 4.5 kg. To install the winch, it is necessary to add a tuning bumper - (more in the description of the item).
Transport bag
Transport the RC model comfortably and safely in the Robitronic transport bag. The bag is waterproof and has an elasticated edge that can be adjusted to the model. Thanks to the Velcro strap, the model is easy to carry. The synthetic material can be easily cleaned with water or soap suds if necessary.
Traxx tracks for every terrain
The new Traxxas crawler chassis Traxx will give your TRX-4 an extraordinary, dramatic look and you can drive it through any terrain. Easy to install, this tuning belt kit delivers a virtually unstoppable power and traction upgrade.
Recommended tuning servos, required when using optional accessories (increase in model weight)
The TRX-4 model, as one of the most user-modified models, often gains 1-2 kg in weight due to accessories. When increasing the weight of the model, it is necessary to modify the components and use a stronger servo. When using a stronger servo, it is necessary to take into account its current consumption due to the load capacity of the BEC on the regulator. For powerful servos with high current consumption, it is necessary to install an external BEC source, otherwise the controller will be damaged.
Recommended tuning servos:
- Traxxas servo 2270 16.9 kg.cm MG waterproof (no need to install external BEC)
- Traxxas servo 2250 24 kg.cm MG waterproof (must install external BEC)
- Traxxas servo 2255 29 kg.cm BL MG waterproof, with AC motor (must install external BEC)
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.
