Overview

Traxxas introduces a new way to experience all the fun, adventure, and scale realism of the TRX-4 in a 1/18 platform with the TRX-4M Land Rover Defender. This truck bridges the gap between the small-scale crawler scene and 1/10 scale quality and performance. Oil-filled shocks, steel frame rails, and a smooth-running drivetrain give it true outdoor capability over rocks and through grass and streams. The tight turning radius and precise throttle control give it fantastic indoor manoeuvrability.

The innovative clipless body removes and installs in just seconds with no clips to lose. Tough, highly detailed ABS bodies feature moulded-in colour with a deep glossy finish that won't chip or scrape off. The body is officially licensed by Land Rover. Its compact size makes it ideal for fun on the go, turning any space into an instant trail or crawling course. Fully waterproof electronics give you the freedom to drive through wet grass, puddles, and streams.

Note

Please refer to the instruction manual for specific waterproof standards, safety precautions, and operating instructions.

    This vehicle is quite impressive, feels well built, very capable and at this size the play area is larger. Aftermarket and performance support is decent also perfect if you own a 3D printer. Great for everyone, actually great design, engineering and performance out of the box for the budget friendly price.
