Characteristics
Go on an expeditionary expedition for adventure with the light and agile TRX-4 RC car model with a detailed clipless Sport body, equipped with a roof rack with mock-up accessories. The proven TRX-4 chassis in the High Trail edition is factory equipped with a higher lift kit that adds an extra 2.5 cm of ground clearance. Thanks to this, larger 2.2" wheels could be fitted to the model. This gives the model a new, more aggressive stance, and it is also much more stable and will overcome more challenging off-road obstacles.
The start of sales of the blue and red versions will be on 28.7.2023. The gray version will be available during September.
The body of the Sport model is equipped with a whole range of mock-up elements, such as a front radiator grill with lights, a snorkel, mirrors, fender skirts and, last but not least , a rear body carrier with accessories for expedition drives. A clipless body system is used for quick and easy battery replacement. The body simply snaps its beaks into the wheel arches. Everything is complemented by large wheels with a colorful mock-up Beadlock ring, which contrasts with the body design.
The model uses a top-of-the-line TRX-4 chassis with portal axles, single-speed transmission and fixed differentials. The front bumper with preparation for the winch is already included in the base. In addition to the functional winch, the model can be further equipped with multifunctional lighting and a wide range of accessory parts (lighting winch and tuning parts are 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.
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.
Detailed bodywork
The model is equipped with a detailed body with expedition rear carrier, which contains mock-ups of a fire extinguisher, canisters, a shovel, an ax and two traction plates.
Chassis of the TRX-4 model
The chassis is built from two steel profiles that ensure sufficient rigidity of the chassis. Thanks to the engine, which is located in the front part, sufficient load on the front wheels is ensured, so that the model can easily handle driving even on steep slopes. The battery is located in the axis of the chassis, so the model is precisely balanced and does not tilt while driving.
Axles
The TRX-4 chassis uses gantry axles with an axle gearbox. The axle gearbox increases the ground clearance, reduces the stress on the gearbox, cardan shafts and further reduces the torsional force - the model tilts less.
Transmission
The TRX-4 model is equipped with a single-speed transmission, providing stunning power along with high torque. The gear ratio corresponds to the second speed of the TRX-4 with a two-speed gearbox. The compact transmission features a double friction clutch that adds increased protection to the drive train.
Differentials
The permanently closed differentials of this lightweight model always transfer maximum power to all wheels without slipping, thanks to which you can pass even the most difficult terrain.
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.
Wheels 2.2"
Large Canyon Trail tires made of extra soft S1 compound are glued to 2.2" diameter wheels with a colorful designer Beadlock ring. The wheel carrier is 12 mm.
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.
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 designed for powering 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.
TQ receiver
The Traxxas TQ 2.4 GHz three-channel receiver ensures safe driving without interruptions. Easy pairing with one button. Status indication by means of an LED diode.
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 wheel steering (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. Reverse can be set on the transmitter on the throttle and steering channels.

We recommend to buy
To operate the model, you need 4x AA batteries for the transmitter, a drive battery and a charger for the drive battery.
Recommended LiPo batteries
The model can be operated on a 2 or 3 cell LiPo battery. A 2-cell LiPo battery (7.4 V) is fully sufficient for normal riding. A 3-cell LiPo battery can be used for operation with a higher speed range.
- For normal riding, 2S LiPo battery Traxxas 7.4 V 5000 mAh

You can find an overview of the lighting, including the possibility of adding additional lights, here.
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. This TRX-4 Sport High Trail model already includes a bumper with preparation for a winch, there is no need to change the front bumper to install the winch, as with the standard Sport model.
Traxx tracks for every terrain
The new Traxx tracked chassis will give your car on the TRX-4 chassis an unusual, dramatic look and you can drive it on any terrain. The easy installation of this belt tuning kit delivers a virtually unstoppable power and traction upgrade.
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.
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.
