TRAXXAS TXC-4M Extreme Crawler 1/18 RTR Brushless, with 3S battery and charger (colour options)

The Traxxas TXC-4M Extreme Crawler redefines 1/18 scale RC crawling with an all-new, ground-up monocoque chassis. This innovative design allows the electronics and suspension to be positioned for optimal weight distribution (60% front bias) and impressive ground clearance. Equipped with a capable 3S brushless system, portal axles, and premium components, it delivers competition-level performance and extreme driving thrills in a compact package. The model comes fully assembled and Ready-To-Drive® straight from the box.

Powerful 3S Brushless Power

An extreme crawler demands extreme power—the TXC-4M utilizes an 11.1V brushless 3S LiPo system. This enables a high-reduction drivetrain that provides ultra-precise throttle control and massive torque. Crawling speeds can be modulated so low that the rig appears stationary on the rocks, while a high-RPM 3350 Kv brushless outrunner motor delivers surprising top speed out on the trail.

Rigid Monocoque Chassis and Exemplary Weight Distribution

The composite monocoque frame of the TXC-4M is significantly lighter and stiffer than traditional ladder frames. The absence of chassis flex ensures the model maintains its line and precise handling even during the most extreme axle articulation. The battery and Electronic Speed Control (ESC) are mounted low and forward to drop the center of gravity and ensure stability. The weight distribution is optimized to a 60/40 front bias, maximizing front-tire grip on steep inclines and when scaling obstacles.

Portal Axles and Competition-Grade Steering

Portal axles lift the model's ground clearance directly at the wheels, leaving significantly more room under the differential housings. Additionally, portals reduce torque twist by shifting the gear reduction into the hubs and away from the differentials. The model delivers a class-leading steering angle of up to 60°, allowing for incredibly sharp turns on technical courses. Steering is handled by the Traxxas 2265R waterproof, full-metal-gear high-torque servo, pushing out 75 oz-in of torque (more than double the power of standard micro servos).

Advanced Suspension, Scale Details, and 3 Drive Modes

The model’s lightweight tube-frame body keeps the center of gravity low and provides maximum wheel clearance. The body panels are removable, and the rig features a full detailed interior with a driver figure. The suspension utilizes horizontally mounted, oil-filled aluminum GTM Pro shocks that offer superb articulation.

The standalone 3S Electronic Speed Control (ESC) features 3 customizable driving profiles:

• Sport Mode (Forward / Brake / Reverse)
• Trail Mode (Forward / Brake / Reverse / Electronic drag brake in neutral)
• Crawl Mode (Forward / Immediate Reverse and 100% hill-hold brake for maximum grip on rocks)

The model comes equipped with functional 1.3-inch Method Race Wheels® 105 beadlock wheels (7 mm hex) and specialized Stone Claw™ tires, featuring a soft compound and stepped tread pattern that bite into rocks with unprecedented traction.
