Modular construction

The modular design connects the front and rear of the chassis with the center chassis, into one fixed platform. This advanced solution ideally distributes impact energy while allowing easy model service. You have access to all important components, model setup and service within a minute.

Durable chassis

The chassis of the model consists of a durable plastic tub on which the front and rear axles rest. The controller with motor and servo are on one side of the chassis and on the other is the battery. This solution achieves an ideal weight distribution and low center of gravity, for perfect driving characteristics.

Propulsion system

Extreme performance, requires the most durable components. Therefore, the drivetrain consists of a steel front wheel, a center differential for power distribution between the front and rear axles. Furthermore, the torque is transmitted through the extruded aluminum center shaft to the front and rear differentials and subsequently to the wheels via robust telescopic half-axles. All rotating parts are mounted in high quality encapsulated bearings. The differentials are equipped with metal gears for the highest durability.

Oil shock absorbers

High-stroke oil dampers use dual X-rings for perfect sealing and perfect operation. The robust design combined with the high oil volume can absorb even hard impacts in difficult terrain. You can tune the shock absorbers to your liking by adjusting the springs and changing the oil viscosity.

Dual-bellcrank control

The Dual-bellcrank control system with two rotating towers mounted on ball bearings ensures perfectly smooth operation in the most demanding conditions. The integrated cam-type servo-saver effectively absorbs shocks and protects the steering servo gears.

Battery bed

The innovative bed securely holds the battery in place with a swivel partition. This makes battery replacement a matter of seconds and you do not have to loosen staples or tapes.

SledgeHammer tires

The model is equipped with 2.8 "chrome wheels with SledgeHammer tires. The tuning tires are made of a durable rubber compound to withstand extreme performance. The aggressive tread pattern has maximum traction even in difficult terrain.

Wheelie Bar

Wheelie Bar rear wheels are essential on a model with such performance as the new Hoss 4x4 VXL. The reinforced rear wheel bar allows you to ride on the rear wheels and at the same time prevents the model from overturning when full throttle is added.

Traxxas Link App is a powerful application that gives you complete control over the operation and tuning of the RC model Traxxas with stunning visualization and absolute accuracy of settings. Traxxas Link can display telemetry data that provides the model in real time, such as speed, rpm, temperature, battery voltage and model tilt. You can share RC model settings, you can create any number of profiles for a specific track or user, eg children. Everything in an application with brilliant graphics, which is a matter of course from Traxxas.

Telemetry options vary by model. It may be necessary to install telemetry sensors to obtain telemetry data. You will find compatible telemetry parts with this model in the "Accessories - Telemetry" section. More information about telemetry installation here.

Traxxas TQi receiver

RC receiver Traxxas TQi 5 channels. TSM with telemetry for Traxxas TQi transmitters. Easy operation, button pairing. LED status indication. 3-axis MEMS sensors are integrated in the receiver to learn the position of the receiver.

The 5-channel receiver is also equipped with two connectors for connecting RPM (speed) and I / O (voltage / temperature) telemetry sensors.

Furthermore, an expansion telemetry module can be connected to the 4-pin connector, to which you can connect up to 6 other sensors, including a very accurate GPS speed sensor.

Traxxas Stability Management

The Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) system not only allows you to experience power, speed, acceleration and cornering at extreme speeds, but also guarantees much easier driving and control on slippery surfaces such as dust, smooth concrete or even ice and snow. / p>

The receiver has a MEMS 3-axis gyro and an accelerometer, which evaluates the movement of the model about 100 times per second and corrects the direction of travel of the model by appropriate interventions in the steering of the front wheels. Traxxas TSM does not limit engine power - you have 100% control over engine power. The algorithms are tuned for each model separately. The level of assistance is set using the multifunction knob on the transmitter or in the Traxxas Link application.

Latch body mounting system

The Traxxas Hoss remote control car model is equipped with an innovative body attachment system that replaces traditional staples with a latch system. This solution allows for an easy and fast attached body and no more lost staples.

Body reinforcement

The body is equipped with a frame on the inside, which serves as a reinforcement when the model overturns. For even greater durability, wide washers are newly placed under the bolt heads, the roof of the model is equipped with a frame against scratching the body, as well as the rear part.

Automatic rotation on wheels

This exclusive, patented Traxxas feature was originally implemented in the X-Maxx model and is now used in this model as well. The Self-righting function is activated remotely via a transmitter, by rapidly adding throttle and braking, the model gradually swings and turns back on the wheels.

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need screw glue, high-quality tire glue, silicone shock absorber oil and a set of screwdrivers. From our range we recommend an affordable set of tools for cars.

The screw glue drips the thread or the head of the screw, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving do not allow the screw connection to loosen. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with a reasonable torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it could be impossible to loosen a screw glued in this way at all!

The tire glue adheres the tires to the rim of the disc. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly glued to the wheel rim around the entire circumference! If the tire is not stuck around the entire circumference, it may rupture. The tire adhesive has a special composition that is able to bond materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time the adhesive is flexible after hardening. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks in the tire would gradually form around the rims!

Occasionally it is necessary to add silicone oil to the model's shock absorbers. During normal operation, there is only a slight leakage of silicone oil along the shock absorber piston rods. If the damper piston rod surface or seal condition is in poor condition, the oil leak may be large. So-called repair kits are supplied for these cases. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are supplied with all shock absorbers. TiN-coated piston rods are easily recognizable by their golden-green color.
