The Traxxas TRX-4 Sport is a technical powerhouse purpose-built from the ground up to conquer any terrain. The Sport packs in all the features necessary for crawling while keeping weight as low as possible. Portal axles provide unprecedented ground clearance with the smooth damping action of aluminum GTS shocks. The lightweight body keeps the CG low for sure-footed climbing and permanently locked differentials transform the motor’s torque into unstoppable forward motion. Built Traxxas-Tough, the Sport adds a dedicated hardcore crawler to the powerful TRX-4 lineup.
