The new TRX-4 Sport Unassembled Kit lets you do just that. Build it your way, for your terrain and your off-road mission. Experience the TRX-4’s superior engineering up close as you put its premium parts together, and finish it off with a full assortment of included accessory options. Expedition Rack, snorkel, spare tire mount, LED-ready grille and tailgate panel—you’ll find all these and more right in the box. You choose the power system and radio gear, or transfer your setup from another model—the options are endless.
TRX-4 Sport Kit contentsDETAIL FOR THE TRAIL
The TRX-4 Sport Unassembled Kit is loaded with scale accessories that make it easy to create a realistic rig that looks great in action. You choose the paint scheme for the clear body—wild or mild, the modern pickup styling is ready for your personal touch. No need to reach for body scissors though, Traxxas does the trimming for you.
Assembled TRX-4 Sport Kit with Accessories
A place for all your stuff! The Expedition Rack has an authentic mesh-top-and-tube-frame look, and the rack reinforces the body as it enhances scale appearance. Integrated mounts make it easy to add the included scale accessories, and there’s tons of space up top for all kinds of custom gear you create or select yourself. Installation is easy, and included stick-on templates show exactly where to place the mounting holes for a hassle-free install.
Everything you need to detail-out the TRX4-Sport body is right in the box. That includes realistic bumpers with D-rings, a decorative winch, two fuel jugs, two traction boards, shovel, axe, jack, side mirrors, fire extinguisher and a snorkel. And since they’re by Traxxas for Traxxas, they fit like factory. Bolt ‘em up and hit the trail, or detail and weather them for even more realism. Do it your way!
Traxxas makes it easy to add LED lights (sold separately). Detailed, injection-molded grille and tailgate inserts with clear lenses and reflectors fit the Sport body precisely for a factory look, with stick-on templates to perfectly locate the mounting holes. You’ll also find four built-in light mounts on the Expedition Rack to really put the blaze in trail-blazing. Get the #8085 LED Light Kit and all the required LEDs are prewired for easy installation.
TRAIL TRUCKING’S TOP TECH
Traxxas engineers designed the TRX-4 platform for peak trail performance, with innovative features that make it the most capable 4X4 no matter what kind of terrain you’re tackling. Here’s what the TRX-4 Sport kit brings to your off-road experience:
This signature feature lets the TRX-4 stand taller than any other rig—literally. The portal design raises the main axle for more than two inches of ground clearance at the center pumpkin. That’s 20% (or more) extra ground clearance compared to straight axles. To get this kind of clearance with conventional axles, you’d need to install tires that are a full inch larger in diameter! The portal axles also raise the suspension links and increase gear reduction to virtually eliminate torque twist. The TRX-4 simply has the best axles on the trail.
The Sport’s scale-diameter, machined-aluminum shocks are designed specifically for trail duty and uncompromised performance. Dual X-ring deals deliver smooth action that lasts, and the threaded bodies make it easy to dial in preload and ride height to suit the terrain. To maintain scale appearance, the o-ring-sealed cap threads into the body rather than over it. No other shocks look this scale—or perform this well.
Trail drivers overwhelmingly agree: Traxxas Canyon Trail 1.9 tires in S1 Compound are some of the best treads you can put on your truck. Tuned foam inserts, soft-rubber, and directional treads with wraparound lugs offer superior grip, and the detailed sidewalls look great. The tires arrive ready to mount on aggressively styled, 1.9” 5-spoke wheels with beadlock detailing. Use #6468 Traxxas Ultra Premium Tire Glue—or upgrade to optional Method beadlock wheels and skip the glue.
The TRX-4 Sport is built for extreme duty with a 1.5mm steel ladder frame that spans bumper to bumper, and solid 5mm steel suspension links with extra-wide rod ends. These tough, terrain-proof parts are ready for the most challenging off-road adventures.

In addition to the standard Sport, Training, and Race modes, the HV 3s also gets Trail Mode with drag brake, and Crawl Mode with Hill Hold.

The #3975R Titan® motor's 550-size can houses larger magnets for more torque than 540 motors, and since it’s reverse-rotation from the factory, there’s nothing to set or adjust—just install and drive. The 21-turn armature is optimized for the TRX-4’s gearing, and an integrated cooling fan keeps the Titan running strong no matter how long you’re out exploring.
The Traxxas #2075X servo is built tough for the trail. Metal gears handle all-day adventure without breaking a sweat, and there’s torque to spare with 125 oz.-inches of twist. No matter how challenging the terrain, the 2075X will keep the front wheels aimed where you want to go.

You can complete the TRX-4 Sport with your favorite setup from another model, or choose from the wide variety of aftermarket gear. High-end or low-buck, there’s no limit to how you can customize your TRX-4’s gear. And if you want to keep it Traxxas with an “ultimate” build, put these on your list:
The #2255R 400 Red High-Torque servo kicks up the power to 400 oz.-in. thanks to a brushless motor and steel gears. To boost performance and style, 400 servo gets a heat-dissipating, red-anodized aluminum mid case with etched logo. Get the #8247X steel servo horn for total torque transfer. If you’re pairing the 400 Red servo with a Traxxas #6533 receiver, it is recommended install the #2262 High-Output BEC.
The TRX-4 Sport’s roomy battery tray is ready for 7-cell flat NiMH packs and standard-size 2S or 3S LiPos. For best performance, use the only batteries engineered specifically for Traxxas models: Traxxas Power Cell with iD technology. In addition to premium LiPo cells and heavy-duty construction, Power Cell batteries’ innovative iD technology works with EZ-Peak iD chargers to give you a perfect charge every time. There’s nothing to set—just plug your iD-equipped battery into an iD charger, and the charger instantly recognizes the battery type, cell count, and capacity, then assigns the optimum charge settings automatically. All you have to do is press the Start button.
