This is the Traxxas 1/18 TXC-4M Extreme Brushless Ready-To-Drive 4X4 Crawler with TQ Compact 2.4 GHz 2-Channel Transmitter, Waterproof Electronics, and 3s Brushless Power System.
TXC-4M - Revolutionary By Design
The Traxxas 1/18 scale TXC-4M Extreme Crawler revolutionizes RC crawling with its clean-sheet approach. An all-new monocoque chassis allowed Traxxas engineers to position the electronics and suspension for optimal weight distribution and geometry. The result is a radical new design with huge forward weight bias and massive ground clearance. Outfitted with only the best parts, TXC-4M delivers the competition-grade performance and extreme fun that could only come from Traxxas.
3s Brushless Power
An extreme crawler needs an extreme power system and TXC-4M delivers with 11.1 volts of brushless 3s LiPo power. 3s power allows TXC-4M to run a high-reduction driveline for ultra-precise throttle control and exceptional torque with crawling speeds so low the rig appears motionless.
Rigid Monocoque Chassis
TXC-4M is purpose-built to deliver the ultimate crawling experience, due in part to its all-new chassis. TXC-4M’s monocoque chassis is both significantly lighter and more rigid than a traditional ladder frame. With no chassis flex, TXC-4M tracks straight and true even under extreme articulation.
Competition-Grade Steering
TXC-4M delivers competition-grade steering performance with an exceptional 60° steering angle, tight turning radius, and laterally mounted 2265 metal-gear servo with 75 oz-in of torque. High-clearance steering and drag links allow TXC-4M to tackle the toughest lines without getting hung up on the rocks.
Portal Axles
Portal axles lift TXC-4M at the wheels, giving it more ground clearance under the center pumpkins. Portal axles also limit torque twist by transferring gear reduction to the wheels and away from the differentials. With less torque twist, TXC-4M is more stable and less likely to twist itself off the rocks.
Stone Claw Tires
Huge 1.3” x 2.8” Stone Claw beadlock tires get TXC-4M up and over obstacles easily with an aggressive stepped-block tread design that maximizes biting edges. Molded in soft-compound rubber, Stone Claw tires grab onto rocks with unrivaled traction, outperforming even the best aftermarket tires.
3s Battery and Charger Included
TXC-4M includes a powerful 3-cell LiPo battery and fast USB charger. The compact battery puts out 11.1 volts of power for nearly limitless rock-climbing torque and high-rpm trail driving. The iD equipped charger balances the battery perfectly every time with no complicated settings to memorize.
Features
TQ Compact Transmitter
The TQ transmitter packs long-range control and glitch-free 2.4 GHz performance into a compact package that's lightweight and comfortable for all-day fun. The transmitter features an ergonomic grip color-matched to the vehicle with removable adapter to accommodate smaller hands.
Clipless Body Mounting
TXC-4M's high-performance tube-frame body latches into the front of the chassis and snaps shut with invisible clipless convenience in the rear. The rugged body stays securely mounted to the chassis, but releases in just seconds.
Steel Portal Weights
Steel front portal weights add valuable mass down low to keep the wheels planted for improved climbing agility and rollover resistance.
Steel Axle Cover
A steel front axle cover increases the front weight bias and adds weight to the lowest part of the vehicle to improve TXC-4M's anti-rollover stability and superior rock-climbing capability.
High-Torque 2265 Servo
An extended metal servo horn provides more throw but requires a powerful servo. The 2265R servo cranks out 75 oz-in of torque, more than double the torque of a conventional sub-micro servo. An all-metal gear train and aluminum center section give the 2265R exceptional durability.
Oil-Filled GTM Pro Shocks
GTM Pro shock bodies are precision-machined from tough 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in brilliant color. The springs sit under the shock bodies for a realistic appearance. Dual O-rings provide a perfect seal on the shaft to deliver smooth performance over rocky terrain.
Brushless Outrunner Motor
The 3350 Kv brushless motor offers exceptional torque and low speed rock-climbing control. On the trail, the 11.1-volt motor delivers high-rpm performance and dramatic speed. A black high gloss can with laser etching gives the motor a striking appearance.
3s Brushless ESC
A standalone ESC provides powerful 3s LiPo power and three custom crawl modes. Use Sport Mode for traditional forward, brake, and reverse. Trail Mode adds a trail-tuned drag brake to control descents with the throttle in neutral. Crawl Mode adds 100% hill-hold braking for maximum grip on the rocks.
High-Clearance Suspension Links
TXC-4M's rides on a sophisticated 4-link triangulated suspension with excellent articulation and axle control. High-clearance lower links angle upwards at the axles to provide maximum center ground clearance.
Steel Driveshafts & U-Joints
TXC-4M's outer driveline is all steel from the axle spools all the way to the wheels. Steel driveshafts connect to portal drive axles and stub axles through high-strength U-joints for superior articulation.
Metal-Gear Transmission
TXC-4M's single-speed transmission features all-metal gears for maximum strength with sealed ball-bearings for smooth-running precision. The motor mounts directly to the transmission assembly for quick and easy removal.
Heavy-Duty Center Driveshafts
Heavy-duty center driveshafts telescope freely to allow maximum suspension travel. Smooth-running CV joints are engineered for long-lasting, trouble-free performance.
Spool-Equipped Axles
Solid front and rear axles are fully locked to send equal power to all four wheels with no slippage possible. Metal spool gears and steel axles ensure rock-solid durability, even with TXC-4M's 3s brushless torque.
