This is the Traxxas XRT Brushless Ready-to-Race Truck, with TQi Traxxas Link Enabled 2.4GHz Radio System, Velineon VXL-8s brushless ESC (fwd/rev), and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM).
XRT: RACE-INSPIRED ENGINEERING - EXTREME 8S POWER AND SPEED
The Traxxas XRT fuses race-inspired design and engineering with X-Maxx power and strength. The result is an all-new platform with sharp reflexes and unprecedented stability that is capable of exploiting the upper range of extreme 8s power and speed.
BUILT FOR SPEED AND HANDLING
XRT was engineered with a focus on speed, handling, and performance. XRT’s low center of gravity, ultra-wide stance and low-profile body deliver confidence and control as XRT accelerates across the wide-open spaces to an all-out speed of 60+MPH.
PROVEN TOUGH ALL-METAL DRIVELINE
XRT performance and durability begins with its all-metal 8s driveline. Steel 4-gear differentials and steel driveshafts are joined by a high-strength extruded aluminum center shaft. It’s a precision-engineered recipe that has been proven monster-truck tough in the X-Maxx.
RACE-INSPIRED LOW-CG CHASSIS
XRT’s performance-focused chassis design is configured to lower the center of gravity for superior handling and stability. The dual 6700 4s batteries and the steering servo are positioned to place the weight as low as possible in the chassis and provide protection for these critical components.
PATENT-PENDING CLIPLESS BODY
XRT’s patent-pending clipless body easily removes and installs in just seconds and yet it locks in place with incredible strength and security. The system uses a cage inside the body to minimize flex while external skids are strategically placed to protect the body.
GRAVIX RACE TIRES
XRT’s Gravix race tires are a revolutionary new hybrid design with densely packed biting edges and sipes. They deliver outstanding grip on hard-packed surfaces along with fast and quiet-running precision.
VXL-8S POWER SYSTEM
Already Traxxas’ most powerful speed control, XRT’s VXL-8s goes even further with an aggressive tune that maximizes power output across the entire RPM range. More power under the curve delivers mid-range punch that hits hard for rolling wheelies on demand. Bury the throttle at any speed and XRT responds instantly with effortless acceleration.

High-Downforce Wing
XRT's rear wing provides added stability for 60+mph speed runs and integrates neatly with the clipless body for a sophisticated look. The wing mount soaks up even the hardest landings without transferring shock energy to the chassis.
Integrated Cold-Air Intakes
Cold-air intakes are fully integrated into XRT's clipless body frame for maximum strength and tear prevention. The lower intake even features an internal grille to keep rocks and other debris out of the chassis and away from the steering components.
Integrated Shock Tower Design
XRT's shock towers are an integral part of the frame with massive buttresses to dissipate shock loads throughout the chassis. Heavy-duty receivers secure the clipless body latches directly to the towers for maximum strength.
Rugged Top Skids
XRT's rugged top skids protect the clipless body from damage. Internal reinforcements maintain the body's integrity.
Integrated Wheelie Bar
XRT's wheelie bar helps prevent backflips under full-throttleacceleration and flexes to absorb impacts on less-than-perfect landings. The integrated wheelie bar also functions as a convenient handle to transport XRT to your next adventure.
Aluminum Heatsink with Dual Fans
XRT's aluminum heatsink wraps around nearly 75% of the motor's exposed surface to pull out more heat. Dual electric fan shrouds draw cooling air from the body vents through the oversized fins for more effective cooling performance and longer run times.
Rugged Skid Plates
XRT's three rugged skid plates key together tightly to protect the chassis from damage. The front skid plate was designed at just the right angle to kick the front end up and prevent digging into the ground when landing nose down.
