Posted by RC Superstore on 24th Mar 2023
Ready to get your hands on the best Traxxas RC car of 2023? Well, you're in luck! For all you RC enthusiasts out there that are unwilling to settle for anything less, this is the guide for you.
Last year, we provided a similar list of the top 10 Traxxas RC Cars in 2022. This year, however, we wanted to do something a little different. Rather than have our team of experts pick their favorite RC cars and trucks, we figured we would let YOU decide which Traxxas models are the best of the best—with your wallets. That's right—these are the five best-selling Traxxas RC cars of 2023!
THE 5 BEST RC CARS TRAXXAS HAS TO OFFER IN 2023
While we're only a little over two months into the new year, there are five RC cars and trucks that are flying off our shelves faster than any others—and for good reason! Not only will these remote control vehicles make driving super fun and unforgettable, but they'll also give visions of speed that won't soon be matched by any other model on the market.
Without further ado, let's dive right into YOUR picks for the five best Traxxas RC cars of 2023.
5. Traxxas E-Revo 2 VXL RC Monster Truck
Leading off our list of Traxxas' best RC cars, we have the E-Revo 2 VXL RC Monster Truck. While many sequels pale in comparison to their originals, the E-Revo 2 is the rare exception to the rule. This new generation of E-Revo retains all the benefits of its original ground-breaking and award-winning design but fortifies them with brute strength and an intense, take-no-prisoners attitude to deliver what is simply the ultimate 6s monster.
This beast comes pre-loaded with a 6s LiPo battery and dual charger combo and is fully assembled and ready-to-race out of the box. So stop your dawdling and get ready for a whole new level of power, strength, and speed!
4. Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL RTR Truck
Coming in at number four on our list of the best Traxxas RC cars is the Rustler 4x4. The all-new VXL is a hard-charging wheelie machine that captures the speed and classic style of the #1-selling Rustler and injects it with brutal 4-wheel drive performance, increased durability, and loads more fun!
This truck has been designed from the ground up for maximum drivability and durability, making it perfect for both first-time racers and experienced veterans alike. Incorporating all the latest Traxxas innovations, the Rustler 4x4 VXL is equipped with a new chassis, clipless body mounting, self-righting capability, and the potential for ripping into a 60+MPH straightaway on its out-of-the-box 3s LiPo power.
3. Traxxas Maxx 4S RTR Brushless 4x4 RC Monster Truck
Less than five years old, the Maxx 4S has already taken the RC world by storm and fully cemented itself on our list of the best Traxxas RC cars—two years running! Building on the design strength of its angsty big brother, the X-Maxx 8s (more on him later), the 1/10 scale Maxx 4s is a more manageable size for many drivers.
Boasting a top speed of over 60 MPH, the Maxx is designed to tackle any terrain. Whether you're driving through a bit of water or mud, the Maxx is equipped with an impenetrable waterproof electronics setup to keep you going. And thanks to an impressive 2400kV brushless motor, TQi radio system, and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), it's in a class of its own when it comes to innovation and design. With the Maxx, you can be sure that your off-roading experience will be nothing short of extraordinary!
2. Traxxas Sledge 6S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck
The Sledge 6s is an absolute force to be reckoned with. It's engineered to have the strongest chassis in its class, making it toughest where it matters most. That means bigger gears, more steel, and the ability to roll over literal landmines with nary a scratch to show for it.
The Sledge is equipped with a high-performance metal gear servo that packs massive torque inside a heat-dissipating aluminum center case. And no tire upgrade is required because it comes standard with Premium Sledgehammer rubber. Its high-downforce wing helps keep it low to the ground too, but if things do go upside-down, Sledge's roof skids will take the hit to keep your graphics looking fresh.
WHAT IS THE BEST TRAXXAS RC CAR OF 2023?
Drum roll please . . .
1. Traxxas X-Maxx 8s 4WD RTR Monster Truck Combo
Topping our list of Traxxas' best RC cars is the new X-Maxx 8s! Retailing for over $1,400, this one's only for those who take their hobby very seriously and want an RC truck that can keep up. What does all that money go toward, you might ask? How about totally beefed up diff gears, driveshafts, motor cooling fan, and wheelie bar to help keep this truck on its tires under even the most extreme acceleration!
The 8s X-Maxx takes every ounce of its 30 volts of power and converts it into the ultimate 50+ MPH monster truck. Its mammoth size, ferocious determination, and unrelenting 4X4 power make this mighty monster a truly worthy successor to the Traxxas Maxx legacy. And at nearly 30 inches in length, this truck is an absolute BEAST!
