Characteristics
Expedition RC model of the TRX-4 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 1979 with excellent off-road capabilities and newly detailed clipless body with a classic 70-80s look. Proven TRX-4 chassis, remote-controlled 2-speed transmission, differential locks and portal axles.
Traxxas has prepared for you a fully assembled RC model of a car on the TRX-4 chassis, very realistically crafted according to the original from 1979. The model stands out not only with great equipment, but also with perfect and faithfully crafted body details in the style of the 70s. A clip-free body system is used for quick and easy battery replacement. The body simply snaps into the wheel arches.
The Chevrolet Blazer was introduced by General Motors in 1969. Its shorter wheelbase and excellent off-road capabilities made it the clear leader among 4x4 off-roaders. Today, the 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, on which the RC model is based, is a collector's item.
The TRX-4 chassis features state-of-the-art technology with portal axles, remote-controlled differential locks and a remote-controlled two-speed transmission. You can switch between different driving modes and there is also a cruise control function. The model can be further equip with a functional winch, multi-function lighting and a wide range of other accessory parts (sold separately) . It is the top quality, wide range of tuning parts and the possibility of gradual improvement that makes the TRX-4 the best expedition model in the world.
New chassis
The new, modified TRX-4 chassis is built from two steel profiles, which ensure sufficient rigidity of the chassis. Thanks to the proven placement of the engine in the front, sufficient load on the front wheels is ensured. The battery is located in the chassis axis, so the model is precisely balanced and does not tilt while driving. The fenders are directly on the chassis and at the same time the body is snapped into them using beaks.
Portal axles
The TRX-4 chassis uses portal axles with an axle gearbox. The axle gearbox increases ground clearance, reduces stress on the differentials, transmission, and driveshafts, and further reduces torsional force.
The front wheels can be turned 45° to each side, and the steering is provided by a Traxxas servo with metal gears. Thanks to the new chassis, the model has achieved an excellent approach angle of 63°.
Two-speed gearbox
The model is equipped with a two-speed gearbox. Gear changes are controlled by a red rocker switch on the transmitter. This solution makes the TRX-4 chassis a very versatile model that can drive slowly or quickly - as you need.
Lockable differentials
The differential locks are independently controlled by 2 servos. The power from the servos is transmitted via Bowden cables to the differentials. The locks 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 locked
GTS oil shock absorbers
Four oil-filled GTS shock absorbers provide smooth damping and perfect driving characteristics. The aluminum shock absorber bodies are equipped with a nut for adjusting the spring preload. Special X-rings ensure maximum tightness of the shock absorber around the piston rod.
Licensed bikes
The 1.9" TRX-4 Canyon Trail wheels are newly chromed and complete the overall look of the model, along with chrome bumpers and differential covers.
Stapleless bodywork
The beautifully crafted bodywork features lots of great details, such as chrome side moldings, mirrors, wipers and a front grille. The new bodywork attachment system using hooks in the wheel arches ensures quick and easy battery replacement and the bodywork's appearance is not disturbed by clips. To remove the bodywork, simply press the hook and pull the bodywork upwards. Installing the bodywork is even easier, just place it on the chassis.
Power steering
The model is controlled by a Traxxas 2075X high-torque digital servo, with a torque of 9 kg.cm. The servo is equipped with two ball bearings on a milled shaft and metal gears for maximum durability. Waterproof* construction.
Transmission and differential servos
The model is equipped with a total of three waterproof* 2065 micro servos with a torque of 2.5 kg.cm. Two servos independently control the front and rear differential locks. The third servo then provides shifting for the two-speed gearbox.
Titan 21T engine
The model is powered by a Titan 21T 550 DC motor. The motor provides smooth operation even from low speeds. For better cooling, the motor has an integrated fan blowing air to the rotor.
DC regulator
The heart of the Traxxas model is the XL-5 HV DC electronic controller. The controller is designed to be powered by a 2-cell or 3-cell LiPo battery. The model can also be powered by 6-7-cell NiMH batteries. Easy selection of driving modes and other settings using the EZ-SET button. Controller status indication by LED diode. LVD protection against underdischarge of the LiPo battery. Thermal protection. Water-resistant* construction.
The Traxxas XL-5 HV controller supports 5 driving modes:
- Sport : Forward, brake and reverse
- Race : Forward and brake. Reverse is not available.
- Training : Forward limited to 50% power, brake 100% and reverse limited to 50%. This mode is suitable for children
- Trail : Forward, brake, reverse. Controls near neutral are very smooth
- Crawl : Drive forward, brake in neutral, and straight into reverse.
Traxxas TQi Four-Channel RC Kit with Bluetooth
The four-channel transmitter, in addition to precise and reliable control, is also equipped with a slot for placing a Bluetooth module (sold separately). The Bluetooth module will allow you to connect the RC model with the clear graphical Traxxas Link application, which you can install on your Smartphone for free.
The Traxxas Link app for Apple devices is available for free on the AppStore , and the app for Google Android devices is available for free on GooglePlay .
The Traxxas Link App is a powerful app that gives you complete control over the operation and tuning of your Traxxas RC model with stunning visualization and absolute precision of settings.

Recommended tuning servos, required when using optional accessories (increasing 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 use a stronger servo. In newly sold TRX models, the controller already has a powerful switched-mode BEC power supply and it is not necessary to use an external BEC power supply for stronger tuning servos with current consumption up to 5 A (short-term).
Recommended tuning servos:
- Traxxas servo 2270 16.9 kg.cm MG waterproof
- Traxxas servo 2250 24 kg.cm MG waterproof
- Traxxas servo 2255 29 kg.cm BL MG waterproof, with brushless motor
- Traxxas servo 2280 50 kg.cm BL MG waterproof, with brushless motor
Accessories for normal operation
For normal operation of your Traxxas RC car, you need screw glue, quality tire glue, silicone shock absorber oil and a set of screwdrivers. We recommend an affordable car tool set from our range.
Screw glue is applied to the thread or head of the screw, which fixes it and prevents the vibrations caused by driving from loosening the screw connection. Screw glue has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with an appropriate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary superglue, a screw glued in this way may be impossible to loosen at all!
Tire glue is used to glue tires to the rim of the wheel. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly glued to the wheel rim around the entire circumference! If the tire is not glued around the entire circumference, it may burst. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon and at the same time the glue is flexible after hardening. Never use ordinary superglue - 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 model's shock absorbers. During normal operation, only slight silicone oil leaks occur along the shock absorber piston rods. If the surface of the shock absorber piston rods or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leak can be large. So-called repair kits are available for these cases. The tuning parts offer includes piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating for all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN coating can be easily recognized by their golden-green color.
