The Traxxas X-Maxx 8S RC Monster Truck pack has everything: two 4S batteries, a dual charger, and massive 1/5 scale 8S power for off-road fun!

What's in the bundle

Overview

The Traxxas X-Maxx 8S is a serious off-road adventurer, engineered to handle the harshest landscapes. Its serious 4X4 prowess, massive 1/5 scale stature, and smart design combine to create a monster truck that's truly hard to stop. The belted Sledgehammer® tyres, with their aggressive tread and reinforced belts, provide dependable traction and stability on any surface, from loose dirt to rocky trails. Built to withstand the punishment of extreme driving, the X-Maxx embodies the Traxxas Tough™ spirit. Its solid construction and smart features, like the Cush Drive® system and all-metal 8s driveline, ensure this truck can handle huge jumps and high-speed runs.

This 'Brushless Performance Pack' is the best way to get running. We've bundled the X-Maxx with the complete, high-power Traxxas iD ecosystem. This pack includes two Traxxas Power Cell 5000mAh 4S iD LiPo batteries, which combine to unleash the full 8S (29.6V) potential of the VXL-8s system. To keep you running, we've included the Traxxas EZ-Peak Live Dual iD charger. This high-output 26-amp charger powers up both batteries at once, quickly and safely. We even add 4 AA batteries for the transmitter and two Team Corally LiPo safe bags for secure charging. It's the complete setup, ready for 80+ km/h speed runs.

No matter what you have driven in the past, nothing will prepare you for X-Maxx.

All-Metal Drivetrain
