Information about the various TRX-4 / TRX-6 vehicles and their key differences. Differences.
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Defender is arguably one of the best-selling TRX4 models. The fact that it’s available in so many different colours, combined with its highly scale-accurate appearance, makes it a real eye-catcher in the woods or at the scale park. Technically equipped with everything a driver could wish for, it features switchable differentials (open – front – front and rear), a 2-speed gearbox with a crawl gear and a high gear, and cruise control. Weighing just under 3.4 kg, it is one of the heaviest vehicles in the TRX4 segment.
In the upper section of the body, the Defender is slightly heavier than its siblings due to its fairly high body, exoskeleton and roof rack. However, it offers plenty of space for scale accessories on the roof as standard.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Bronco has a shorter wheelbase than the Defender, and the front and rear overhangs are also extremely short. Its ability to handle inclines and steep gradients is absolutely impressive. The front section of the cab is transparent, so you can also customise the interior to your liking. It also features selectable differentials (open – front – front and rear), a 2-speed gearbox with a crawl gear and a high gear, and cruise control.
It is available in black with two different liveries: rainbow and red.
Technical specifications:
Der Traxxas® TRX-4 Sport ist als Pickup konzipiert. Im Gegensatz zum Bronco, Defender und Anderen wurde hier im Bereich Bedienung einiges eingespart. Der Sport verfügt, im Gegensatz zu seinen Geschwistern, nicht über ein 2Gang Getriebe und seine Sperrdifferenzial lassen sich nicht über die Fernbedienung zuschalten.
Beim TRX4 Sport sind die Differenziale immer gesperrt, alle Räder drehen immer gleich schnell und es ist nur ein Gang verfügbar. Seine Übersetzung liegt zwischen dem 1. und 2. Gang der anderen Fahrzeuge. Auch sein Gewicht liegt unter den anderen TRX4 Fahrzeugen. Auch ist die mitgelieferte Fernbedienung ist eine andere. Da weder das Getriebe geschaltet, noch Differenziale gesperrt werden können, fehlen diese Funktionen auch an der Funke. Diese Einsparungen machen sich aber auch deutlich im Preis bemerkbar.
Technical specifications:
The TRX4 Bluetooth Modul cannot be fitted to the TRX4 Sport RTR’s radio control unit!
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Kit is essentially just the complete chassis without a body. You’re buying a TRX-4 as a kit, which means you can really build your own vehicle from scratch. The kit contains everything except the ‘body’.
However, the kit isn’t simply compatible with all Traxxas® bodies currently on the market. The wheelbase here is 312 mm, which means a Defender won’t fit on the chassis. Furthermore, only the rear links for the 312 mm wheelbase are included. So if you want to build a 324 mm model, you’ll need, amongst other things, links for a 324 mm wheelbase. The construction is the same as that of the Bronco, which is also evident from the weight of the two vehicles.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Blazer has the same wheelbase as the Bronco. The chassis has also been taken from the Bronco, although Traxxas® has built a truly stunning body for this model. For many, the Blazer was the very epitome of the American off-roader back in their youth. Traxxas® has then rounded the whole thing off with two stunning colour schemes. It features selectable differentials (open – front – front and rear), a 2-speed gearbox with a crawl gear and a high gear, and cruise control.
It is available in black, orange with white stripes and a white roof, and in red with a black stripe and a black roof.
Technical specifications:
With the new TRX4 Ford F150 Traxxas® continues to focus on vehicles with raised chassis. For the Ford F150, too, Traxxas® has once again opted for the large 2.2-inch wheels and the HighJackers chassis. This provides plenty of ground clearance but raises the centre of gravity. A roll bar has also been fitted to the load bed, which looks really smart. Just like the Chevi High Trail, the F150 features the Snapon Karo system, which does away with those rather unsightly clips and, unlike magnets, ensures the Karo holds rock-solid.
Technical specifications:
The TRX-4 Ford Bronco will now also be available as a licensed model from Traxxas®. With a wheelbase of 324 mm, it is the same length as the Defender and the Tactical*, but has been given a number of new features.
Traxxas® has done away with the Karoclips and incorporated a Snap-on mounting system. Unlike the Defender and the Tactical, the mudguards are now also attached to the chassis, onto which the Karoclips are clipped. Weighing in at 2.91, it is just under 3 kilos and only slightly heavier than the Blazer and the 1979 Bronco. At 239 mm, it is actually 16 mm lower than the Blazer.
Otherwise, it features the tried-and-tested 2-speed gearbox and lockable differentials.
Technical specifications:
With the new TRX4 Cheyenne Traxxas® is breaking new ground. The chassis comes fitted with a lift kit as standard, which raises the car significantly and increases the wheelbase to 336mm. Unfortunately, the windows on the new model aren’t transparent, but we’ll have to wait and see once it’s on the market.
The new Cheyenne has inherited the Snapon Karo from the 2021 Bronco, which is sure to please most people. Compared to the Blazer, the Cheyenne is 22 mm taller and 21 mm wider. Further details and how this raised model handles will follow once it’s available.
All we can say is: Colt Seavers sends his regards :).
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® Sport High Trail is the latest crawler to which Traxxas® has added a clipless body and increased ground clearance. The High Trail version also comes with a pre-fitted expedition rack, the option to fit lights, and new colour schemes. The gearbox and differentials have been carried over from the standard Sport model, meaning a single gear and non-lockable differentials.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® Blazer K5 Hight Trail is also one of the new models featuring high ground clearance and a clipless body (Snapon Karo). Here too, Werk 2.2 wheels have been fitted. Previously, the K5 was only available as an accessory, so this will please many, even though the windows have been painted black. The fact that it continues to do without body clips also makes the Blazer an interesting model.
Technical specifications:
Traxxas® has done it – there’s a completely new body and even a non-US model. The Nissan Pathfinder comes with a Snap-On (i.e. clipless) body and tinted windows. Unfortunately, this is currently the case with all new Traxxas® vehicles; some will be pleased, whilst others will be rather disappointed. Anyone wanting to customise the interior will either have to buy a clear body and paint it themselves, or strip the paint off the windows. Otherwise, as always, it features 2-speed transmission and lockable differentials.
Technical specifications:
Die beliebten Picups F150 und K10 bietet Traxxas® nun als normale Version ohne Hightrail an. Der Radstand und die Länge sind also beim Modell wie bei der HighTrail Version geblieben, dafür sind die Reifen wieder auf 118mm Duchmesser geschrumpft und schleifen damit nicht bei jeder Lenkbewegung an der Karosserie. Das ganze wirkt wieder deutlich scaliger und hat weniger Monstertruck Feeling.
Technical specifications:
Traxxas® now offers the popular K10 and F150 Picups as standard versions without the HighTrail feature. The wheelbase and length of the model have therefore remained the same as in the HighTrail version, but the tyres have been reduced back to 118 mm in diameter, meaning they no longer rub against the bodywork with every steering movement. The whole thing looks much more to scale again and has less of a monster truck feel.
Technical specifications::
The TRX6 Hauler probably falls somewhat outside the crawler segment and is really only suitable for proper crawling to a limited extent. Its extreme wheelbase and a length of almost a metre probably explain this quite clearly. Under the bonnet, however, everything is as usual: the two-speed gearbox and lockable differentials have been carried over from the other models.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Mercedes 4x4 actually stands out a bit from the norm. The first thing you notice is the different wheel and tyre combination that Traxxas® has used here. The designers have opted for a slightly lower profile and a significantly different tread pattern. Visually, it certainly looks very true to scale, which will please most people! The first units to be delivered all had black windows; on the Traxxas® website, you can see that the second batch appears to have clear windows – another point we’re pleased about. The electronics are the same as on all the other models and, for an RTR, are already very comprehensive; of course, the issue with the servo remains.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® TRX-6 G63 marks a whole new direction for Traxxas®. This is a three-axle model with six driven wheels. The TRX6 is big, it looks great and it isn’t exactly cheap. It’s a real speed demon. The layout is the same as on the other TRX models: a 2-speed gearbox and lockable differentials, although the rear differentials can only be locked together.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Traxx holds a special place in the TRX4 range. It features a chain drive instead of wheels. Traxxas® offers it as an RTR model based on the TRX4 Sport chassis, in a range of colours. In terms of electronics, it features everything found in the Sport model. This means a single-speed gearbox and permanently locked differentials. Unfortunately, it also features the not particularly durable 2075X servo once again; however, it comes factory-fitted with the light module and LEDs in the bodywork.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Sport Kit isn’t just available as a kit; it also comes without any electronics whatsoever. This means it doesn’t include a servo – which, let’s face it, everyone can do without – nor a receiver, speed controller or motor. This gives you the option to fit exactly what you really want. The body is made of clear Lexan and comes pre-cut. You also get the full expedition rack included. Definitely the alternative for anyone who’s planning to change the electronics anyway and who’ve never been keen on either the red or the blue TRX4 Sport.
Technical specifications:
The Traxxas® TRX-4 Tactical is the most visually striking of the Traxxas® crawlers. Inspired by the design of SWAT and Special Operations Team tactical units, it has a military feel. As with the Defender, the mudguards are mounted on the bodywork and the wheelbase is also 324 mm. The rims have been styled to resemble those on military vehicles, whilst the windows and lights have been fitted with grilles. Technically, it offers the same features, including switchable differentials (open – front – front and rear), a 2-speed gearbox with a crawl gear and a high gear, and cruise control. Price-wise, it sits between the Defender or Bronco and the Sport. If you’re looking for a distinctive vehicle, this is definitely the one for you.
