Who can resist this classic, especially in exacting 1/10 scale with Traxxas TRX-4® performance? Every detail of the iconic K5 design is in place, right down to the chrome trim rings on the Rally wheels. Bowtie fans dream of finding a mint ’79 Blazer—Traxxas has them in two colors!

Heavy-duty off-road performance and high-end luxury don’t usually go together, but don’t tell the AMG guys that. Mercedes-Benz’ squad of tuners turned the G-class into a 6-wheeled extreme machine, and only Traxxas could deliver equal style and capability in scale—and with a full set of LED lights!

The massively impressive (and just plain massive) Unlimited Desert Racer was literally a show-stopper, as busy show-goers put the brakes on to ogle the super-sized Pro Scale® off-roader. Its authentic tube-frame chassis, trailing-arm rear suspension, stunning details and Fox livery made the Unlimited Desert Racer a must-see model.

New Maxx® Accessories


More metal for Maxx is coming, with caster blocks, steering blocks, and stub axle carriers all precision-machined and vividly anodized for superior strength and style. You’ll be able to get the gear in red, green, orange, and blue.

TUBES links add adjustable toe-in and a burst of anodized color to the Maxx, and the unique aluminum and steel hybrid construction offers incredible strength yet minimizes weight. You’ll be able to get the links in red, blue, green and orange to match the other anodized Maxx upgrades.

The Maxx already has some of the best-built shocks in RC, but if you want to take it to the next level, Traxxas has you covered. Super-slick TiN (titanium nitride) coated shock shafts reduce “stiction” to extend seal life and deliver ultra-smooth action. Bonus: the TiN’s gold color looks trick. Want to boost style even further? You can add anodized aluminum shock caps and upper spring retainers, precision machined by-Traxxas for-Traxxas.

Rock Show: SEMA Crowds Clamor For Traxxas Rock Crawling
While every other SEMA truck’s tires touched only carpet, Traxxas’ trucks actually spent their Vegas vacation on the rocks—right inside the Traxxas booth! The realistic rock terrain was created just for SEMA, and crowds ate up the true-to-scale action as TRX-4 models showed off the capabilities of their T-Lock remote-locking differentials, High/Low transmissions, and trick portal axles. The 1979 Chevrolet Blazer, 1979 Ford® Bronco, Land Rover® Defender®, TRX-4 Equipped with Traxx®, and TRX-4 Sport did their thing all day throughout the show.
