RC Car Action

THE NEXT BIG THING

When it comes to Traxxas’ extensive line of RC vehicles, the undisputed king of the castle is its domineering monster truck, the X-Maxx. The X-Maxx’s awe-inspiring size, strength and speed have rewritten all that has come before it in the ready to run monster truck genre. As such a dominant specimen, what does Traxxas do to build on this well-established line?

Enter Traxxas’ latest large-scale truck, the XRT. To put it simply, think of the XRT as something like an X-Maxx scaled stadium truck, or you can also think of it as we do—a giant Traxxas Rustler 4x4. It’s a low-slung, go-fast truck that combines race-inspired design and engineering with X-Maxx’s impressive power and strength. Traxxas’ newest platform boasts nimble agility and rock-solid stability that is capable of taking full advantage of the upper range of Traxxas’ extreme 8s power and speed.
