Traxxas X-Maxx - 8S Power

Traxxas X-MAXX RC Car

Traxxas' biggest, most powerful RC car!

Uninterrupted 4X4 power, massive size and award-winning technology make the X-Maxx a monster truck without limits. With an extreme 8S power of 30+ volts, the X-Maxx defies physics, reaching 80 km/h despite breathtaking acceleration and giant size! Designed to conquer the toughest terrains, X-Maxx offers an adrenaline-fuelled RC car experience!

Big Wins!
At the end of the day, the body always wins. The X-Maxx rides over obstacles and challenges in rough terrain that leaves smaller trucks stranded. Mammoth 8-inch-tall tires, long-arm suspension and ground clearance make the X-Maxx unstoppable!

Uninterrupted Power with Automatic Correction!
Too much power is never enough in Traxxas! The durability of the new VXL-8s only matches the power of an 8s 30+ volt dual LiPo battery. The speed-regulated 1200XL Big Block™ motor ramps up the X-Maxx with brutal torque. If you lose control and the X-MAXX turns upside down, you can continue the adventure with a single button press without moving from where you are! Whatever happens, nothing can stop you with X-Maxx!

Waterproof Design!

Thanks to Traxxas' patented waterproof design, you can play in all weather conditions!

Clipless Body Design

Say goodbye to old-fashioned clip-on bodies! Now you can separate the stem in seconds with the new Clipless Body Design.

Easy Access Battery Compartment

Another rational solution of Traxxas is the new battery holder, so you can easily fix your battery to your vehicle.

Integrated Balance Wheels

With the power of the MAXX 8s, it almost rears up at take-offs. It is equipped with integrated balance wheels to prevent the vehicle from losing its balance in this case.

MAXX-DUTY Components
The X-Maxx brings power to the ground through rugged all-steel drivetrain gears, the revolutionary Cush Drive system, and our strongest drive shafts ever. The all-new Torque-Biasing Center Drive increases driveline durability and drives larger module ring and pinion gears in the toughest differentials we've ever built.

Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)

TSM, Traxxas Stabilization Control, allows you to control the power, speed and acceleration provided by Traxxas models in a much easier and fun way. It provides more controlled turns and drift performance in all road conditions such as soil, ice, snow and asphalt. In bends and sharp turns, it allows the vehicle to go to the point you want to steer without losing control or spinning. Thus, your vehicle can make sharp turns without losing gas during turns. In addition, the TSM system helps you to stop your vehicle in sudden braking without losing control.

MAXX Power

The new VXL-8s ESC system is an all-new Traxxas design that combines advanced microprocessor control with sophisticated software for smooth responsive performance and a rich feature set. The VXL-8s provide real-time telemetry to the Traxxas Link application with the optional TQi Wireless Module (part # 6511, sold separately). The all-new Velineon 1200XL Big Block brushless motor delivers 50+ mph and enormous pulling torque.

Renewed Shock Tower Design

The X-MAXX's shock towers offer a rigid, triangulated structure and an authentic off-road look that fills the truck's wheel openings. They also act as a handy carrying handle and provide ground support for the X-MAXX when placed upside down for cleaning.

Double Cooling Fan Rock-Solid Motor Assembly

A completely new motor mount design supports the motor in a way that it cannot flex on the housing. The threaded mesh is held firmly in place with keyed pins, so no difficult adjustments are needed. Eliminating flex means longer gear life even in the toughest conditions. The new dual fan assembly helps cool the engine for longer run times and maximum fun.
