Top 10 Extreme Performance Cars & Trucks
See What Makes Traxxas The Fastest Name in Radio Control®
At Traxxas, The Fastest Name In Radio Control isn’t a slogan, it’s a mission. When it comes to the building the fastest, toughest, most capable RC models, Traxxas is number-one. No other brand is as relentlessly innovative and engineering-driven to make sure every car, truck, and boat delivers maximum performance, fun, and value. Here are ten models that deliver over-the-top RC excitement, the Traxxas way.

When you have to have the biggest, most powerful, and toughest 4X4 truck on the planet, the choice is easy: it’s gotta be X-Maxx. Over 30 inches long, nearly two feet wide, and capable of 50+mph with 8-cell Power Cell LiPo power, X-Maxx is the ultimate truck for dirt-roosting, wheelie-popping, all-terrain action in rugged conditions that smaller trucks just can’t handle. Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)® and self-righting technology make it easy to experience the ultimate in RC excitement from The Fastest Name In Radio Control.

The Maxx features the innovative design concepts pioneered by the X-Maxx and delivers them in 1/10 scale for high-power, high-speed monster truck experience like no other. With a 4-cell Power Cell LiPo on board, the Maxx rockets to 60+mph and stands on its wheelie bar as long as you like. Massive aluminum shocks keep you in control when the terrain gets tough, with help from Traxxas Stability Management. No truck delivers such outstanding performance, yet is so easy to drive. But if you do manage to get upside-down, the Maxx rights itself with the touch of a button. Only Traxxas has it!

Hoss 4X4 VXL unleashes extreme monster truck fun with the power and speed only Traxxas can deliver. Grab a fistful of throttle and the huge Velineon 540XL motor delivers a massive torque punch to wheelie on command, and then keeps pouring on the thrust for a 60+ MPH top speed. It’s built to absolutely shred any terrain, from dirt and sand to mud and snow. Non-stop fun and performance always come first, so Hoss stays true to the Traxxas heritage of rugged strength and durability which is engineered into every component. Drive harder, go faster, hang tougher— Nothing stops the Hoss!

Super-sized and super-realistic, the Unlimited Desert Racer is also the ultimate desert racer. A full tube frame, interior with driver and navigator, dual spare tires, and blazing LED light bars are just a few of the authentic Pro Scale® details. The Unlimited Desert Racer is also built just like full-size rigs, with independent front suspension, solid-axle rear suspension, and dual shocks on each corner—one sprung, the other for additional damping and oil capacity. No other scale truck is as “real”—or as fast. With 6-cell Power Cell LiPo power, the Unlimited Desert Racer devours terrain at over 50mph.

Outstanding 4WD performance with stadium-truck styling and award-winning Traxxas innovation—that’s Rustler 4X4 VXL. Convenient 1/10 scale size means you only need one 3s Power Cell LiPo battery to unleash full Velineon brushless power and blast to over 65mph, wheels up and riding on the wheelie bar. In the rough, Ultra Shock suspension and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) keep Rustler 4X4 tracking straight and putting power down—but if you do flip it, no worries. Traxxas Self Righting puts the Rustler 4X4 back on all fours with the touch of a button.

Incredible—the Bandit VXL is Traxxas’ fastest 1/10 scale model at 70+mph, yet it’s well under $300. There’s no bigger performance bang for your RC buck! Bandit VXL is equipped with the Velineon Brushless Power System (of course), and all the electronics are waterproof for all-conditions RC adventure. Oil-filled Ultra Shocks and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) keep you in control, and take a look at those black-chrome wheels and wild graphics. There’s no better-looking, better-performing buggy than Bandit VXL.

The Slash Ultimate starts with the Low-CG (low center of gravity) chassis and piles on the upgrades from there, with high-capacity GTR shocks, Velineon brushless power, high-torque metal-gear servo, machined aluminum hubs and steering arms, and front and rear swaybars—for starters. Telemetry sensors are factory installed, and the TQi™ transmitter includes the Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module, ready to connect to your smart device and the Traxxas Link app. Slash 4X4 Ultimate truly delivers the ultimate in short-course specs, capability, and performance.

Drag Slash has been engineered with thoughtful features and innovative performance to win at any level of skill and experience. The Pro Series Magnum 272R gearbox is engineered for massive torque. The proven Velineon power system delivers strong, reliable muscle to lay down the quickest passes. The exclusive Drag Mode and Trans Brake provide incredible versatility—and Drag Slash does it all with classic Chevrolet® C10 style. This is no prep racing the Traxxas way.

The Revo 3.3 stands alone as the pinnacle of nitro monster truck performance. Revo’s massive power, versatility, and Traxxas innovation create the most awarded nitro truck in history. The Revo 3.3 is pure monster truck with the power to rip four-wheel roosts at will as it blasts its way to 45mph and beyond. Most importantly, Revo's advanced engineering equips it for fun and the Revo 3.3 delivers more of it than any other nitro truck.

XO-1. It’s the hyper-performance supercar that could only come from Traxxas. We’re talking zero to 100mph (yes, “one hundred”) in under 5 seconds—that’s quicker than full-size supercars. Big 1/7 scale size, full-time 4WD, cutting-edge aerodynamics, and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) help harness the XO-1’s outrageous speed and power, and installed telemetry sensors are ready to send speed, temperature, RPM, and voltage data to your smart device when you add the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module to the TQi transmitter.
