In “low range,” the truck cruises at a measly 2 mph. And, its underpowered motor is one of the TRX-4’s notable flaws.
Powering the TRX-4 is a 16.8V Titan 21T 550 motor, running on 3S LiPo. That’s unlike many other RC vehicles you will find on the market, which are splash-resistant, but not truly waterproof. If you’re not afraid of getting your vehicle a little dirty, the TRX-4 can handle creeks, mud puddles and snow without a hitch. While we’re on the topic, the TRX-4 is also entirely waterproof. However, the Pro-Line body lacks the roll cage found on the TRX-4’s default body, which provides extra rollover protection. On top of that, the Pro-Line Jeep Wrangler body also features molded rock sliders, which further help protect the TRX-4 from damage. That can withstand just about any trail, save for a minefield. Specifically, that is a heavy-duty, steel ladder frame with 1.5mm thick rails and molded, nylon composite crossmembers. Luckily, the TRX-4 also stands on a rugged, sturdy foundation. Little features, like the included jack and functional spare tire, only add to the incredible scale realism of the TRX-4. The stock Defender Body features an injection-molded front grill, molded inner fenders, a front bumper with tow hooks and a replica winch and scale-realistic 1.9’’ inch wheels, it is clear Traxxas pulled no punches when designing the TRX-4.
