Torque-Biasing Center Drive
The cast alloy Torque-Biasing Center Drive improves driveline durability and controls front-to-rear power distribution for mind-bending four-wheel-drive acceleration. It’s tuned to allow instant, wheels-up punch off the line and seamless, virtually invisible operation at speed.
Self-Righting
Pioneered by X-Maxx, this revolutionary Traxxas innovation flips X-Maxx back onto its wheels after a roll over. In most situations, the fun does not have to stop just to rescue an upside-down truck.
Fully Waterproof
Water? Mud? Snow? X-Maxx says, “Bring it on!” Traxxas was first to offer patented innovative waterproofing solutions to extend your fun into environments that were previously off limits to lesser trucks.
Clipless Body
X-Maxx uses a heavy-duty body latching system that secures the body to the chassis firmly and easily. With intense 8S power on tap, X-Maxx spends a lot of time on two wheels. Tough body reinforcements add extra protection during rollovers or when self-righting.
Easy Battery Access
Traxxas engineers paid special attention to make sure the touch points on X-Maxx are easy to use. The snap-lock battery retainers are integrated into the chassis and keep a firm, secure grip on the batteries.
4s LiPo Completer Pack

Details
The full X-Maxx experience of strength, power, and agility relies on all the carefully engineered details that emerge when you peel back the layers.
Modular Chassis Design
The interlocking modular chassis design keeps the motor and the gear drive together as a unit to virtually eliminate gear-crunching chassis flex. Additionally, the design provides easy access to critical components, making any needed maintenance or repairs a snap to perform.
GTX™ Aluminum Shocks
X-Maxx’s four enormous high-performance oil-filled GTX™ aluminum shocks smooth out the roughest terrain for the super-plush ride that made Maxx® trucks famous. The large oil volume dissipates heat for all-day shredding while an integrated wiper seal keeps the shafts clean, reducing seal wear for long life.
Shock Tower Design
X-Maxx’s shock towers introduce an exclusive Traxxas look that offers rigid, triangulated structure and an authentic off-road look that fills in the wheel openings of the truck. They also serve as a convenient carry handles and provide level supports for the X-Maxx when placed upside down for cleaning.
Rock-Solid Motor Mount with Dual Cooling Fans
The motor mount cradles the motor so it can’t flex on the mount. Gear mesh is held firmly in place by keyed pins so there’s no need for tricky adjustments. Eliminating flex means longer gear life, even in the most punishing conditions. The dual-fan assembly helps cool the motor for extended run times and maximum fun.
Monster Travel
Achieving X-Maxx’s huge suspension travel, tight turning circle, and incredible strength required hundreds of hours of modeling, development, and testing to package all that capability in these sophisticated components. Exciting visual form follows unsurpassed function and performance.
Waterproof From the Start
Waterproofing our models has never been an afterthought at Traxxas. Patented Traxxas innovation seals out the water so that your playground doesn’t end when the fun involves water, snow, and mud. Dirty truck? Just hose it off. The box allows fast radio access without removal.
Double Shear Connections
X-Maxx uses double shear connections when the mission requires incredible strength. Suspension hinge points, shock mounting, and even the steering servo output shaft are engineered to redefine Traxxas Tough. Captured, high-strength steel suspension pins are used throughout and will never unscrew or “back out”.
Steering Authority
X-Maxx gets its unmatched steering authority from the powerful 2085 servo. The quick steering and tight turning circle, combined with advanced suspension geometry, gives X-Maxx nimbleness and control that you might not expect from such a large vehicle.
Impact Cushion
X-Maxx is equipped with an energy-absorbing impact cushion behind the front bumper to help soften the blows and make X-Maxx even more durable in demanding situations—even the unexpected ones.
CV Driveshafts
Traxxas armed X-Maxx with our strongest driveshafts to harness the twisting power of the motor’s extreme torque. This rugged design maximizes suspension travel, steering angles, and overall durability. The differential outputs are splined for incredible strength, and they center bolt to the differential for easy cleaning and service. Splined wheel hexes eliminate axle pins that require through holes that create a weak point in shafts.
Shock-Absorbing Cush Drive
Conventional slipper clutches could not withstand X-Maxx’s monster torque loads. Instead, our engineers adapted the revolutionary Cush Drive system from the 100 mph XO-1 Supercar and strengthened it with a steel spur gear. Instead of slipping, the Cush Drive sends pure uninterrupted power straight to the Torque-Biasing Center Drive for unimaginable acceleration.
Aluminum Splined Driveshaft
The tough aluminum center driveshaft carries the power to the front and rear differentials. Splined drives are used throughout for precise engagement, incredible strength, and smooth running.
Maxx-Duty Sealed Diffs
X-Maxx’s differentials feature our largest module steel ring and pinion gears ever to handle the rigors of challenging off-road situations. The differentials are sealed and filled with heavyweight oil, which gives the feel of limited-slip differentials. What the driver feels is confidence as X-Maxx’s power slides through turns with massive roost and total control.
Full Contact Sealed Bearings
X-Maxx’s features full contact sealed bearings in outboard locations to keep out the grime and grit. Less downtime for cleaning and maintaining bearings equals more run time for X-Maxx’s.
Torque-Biasing Center Drive
The Torque-Biasing Center Drive absorbs shocks to improve driveline durability. The Center Drive also distributes power to all four wheels for mind-bending four-wheel-drive acceleration without the side effects of a typical center differential. Center differentials allow tires in the air to balloon uncontrollably, while the Torque-Biasing Center Drive allows wheelies off the line with seamless power distributed to all four wheels.
