See what happens when you shoehorn a 4s brushless motor into a TRX-4 Tactical

The Traxxas Underground crew lives life on the edge, pushing boundaries and exploring the limits of what’s possible with RC. As if the 100 mph Slash® wasn’t enough, they’ve gone and added a brushless power system into a TRX-4® Tactical RC Crawler. Watch the TRX-4 go from being a dedicated rock crawler into a barn-storming brushless beast capable of massive wheelies and catching some serious air. Grab your popcorn and get ready for one wild video!

Building the brushless TRX-4
In order to create this brushless monster, the Underground Crew shoehorned the powerful brushless motor from the Traxxas Funny Car into the TRX-4. Power comes from the massive VXL-6s™ ESC and a staggering 14.8 V of LiPo power. Huge 2.2″ beadlock wheels and Canyon Trail tires provide plenty of grip and do a respectable job on high speed runs. Naturally we don’t recommend making these modifications yourself, but it goes to show what a versatile platform the TRX-4 can be with a little imagination. If you do decide to create your own brushless monster, be sure to record your speed runs with the Traxxas Link™ app and share them to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
