Extreme Suspension Travel
The key to the Unlimited Desert Racer’s phenomenal off-road ability lies in its extreme suspension travel and ground clearance. The plush, seemingly bottomless travel is built to soak up whoops and washboard ruts with ease. The suspension does the work while the chassis remains steady and composed.
4-Link Rear Suspension
Massive trailing arms and heavy-duty linkages, along with the functional limiting straps, keep the solid axle firmly in control. The precision-engineered 4-link geometry rewards driver finesse with responsive and predictable handling as you rotate the truck and steer with the throttle through the tight sections of the course.
Heavy-Duty Steel Drivetrain
The drive system uses thick steel axles and an all steel-gear drivetrain to drive all four wheels. Heavy-duty center driveshafts transfer power to heavy-duty steel ring and pinion gears front and rear. 4-wheel drive delivers maximum acceleration off road.
Direct Drive Transmission
Large steel spur and pinion gears provide the ultimate in toughness and durability. The Torque-Biasing Center Drive distributes power between the front and rear drives for maximum traction on any surface. There’s no clutch to slip, just instant power on tap when you need it. The entire transmission and motor remove as a single unit for easy maintenance.

Detailed Interior
The highly detailed interior with driver figures enhances the realism to the point that you might think you are looking at a real truck while driving. Switches, radios, safety gear, shifter, and navigation, it’s all there!
LED Lighting Technology
The innovative high-voltage amplifier delivers clean, stable power to all 204 individual LEDs to minimize losses from excessive current and heat and prevent the flickering and dimming associated with generic light kits. The powerful Traxxas Link App further customizes the lighting modes to your specifications or turn the lights on and off directly in the app.
Molded Body Details
From bumper to bumper, beautiful precision-molded details continue the Pro Scale theme. The replica brake calipers and discs, floor jack with handle, batteries, fans, oil cans, fire extinguishers, and shock reservoirs provide the perfect scale touches.
Functional Spares
Like a true desert race truck chassis, UDR®
Reinforced Bumpers
Impact absorbing front and rear bumpers soak up the hits to protect the chassis and provide rigid support for the fixed body.
Extreme-Travel GTR Shocks
Huge, Extreme-travel aluminum GTR shocks are threaded to adjust ride height on a single high-performance spring at each corner. A separate slave shock provides additional damping action and doubles the oil capacity for the smoothest action possible.
Heavy-Duty Front Suspension
Massive front suspension arms form a double-wishbone design to maintain proper geometry throughout their huge range of travel. The semi-solid design fully captures both shock and sway bar rod ends for ultimate durability and toughness. Large steering blocks use oversized bearings to accommodate the steel axles.
Rugged Tube Cage
The rugged tube frame chassis is fully functional and an integral part of the overall unlimited desert race chassis design. The tube frame chassis provides rigid support for shocks, bumpers, and suspension. The design is engineered to help absorb and distribute impacts for the rock-solid durability that is required in the desert.
Protective Skid Plates
Integral to the inverted tub chassis, tough skid plates keep out debris and protect vital vehicle components. The two-piece design includes a separate door for the battery compartment that snaps in and out of position in just seconds.
Realistic Side Plates
Realistic chassis side plates (tin work) mount directly to the roll cage for true Pro Scale realism. Functionally, they add structural rigidity and help keep debris out of the cockpit. Remove the body and the desert race chassis looks even more amazing and realistic.
Extreme Suspension Travel
The key to the desert race chassis’ phenomenal off-road capability lies in its massive suspension travel. With 3.15" of travel in the front and 4" in the rear, the suspension soaks up whoops and washboard ruts with ease.
