According to Customers: The Best Traxxas Models
The Traxxas XRT
This RC car delivers jaw-dropping performance and is feature-packed to deliver maximum fun and thrills! The XRT’s performance-oriented chassis design screams speed and power and it’s stunning to look at. The front bumper enhances the feeling of power and looks like it’s more than up to the job of protecting the body from any crashes. When you pick it up and hold it you get a real sense of how robust this RC car is and some details and features mean it will stand some hard knocks. The low centre of gravity and ultra-wide stance enables the XRT to hit an all-out speed of over sixty miles per hour with confidence as you still feel in control.
The Traxxas XMAXX
This model is widely considered to be one of the best in breed when it comes to RC monster trucks. Its tough chassis is built for action and the powerful 4X4 transmission delivers incredible performance. The styling of the Traxxs XMAXX gives it the look of an unstoppable beast but don’t expect that to hinder performance as it delivers 8-second acceleration and 50+ mph top speed! If RC monster trucks appeal to you look no further.
Traxxas TRX-4M Land Rover Defender
There are a few options here, and the Traxxas Defenders are a great place to start if you’re looking for lower-budget RC cars. If you’ve ever driven a full-scale Defender or fancied putting one to the test this does deliver a similar experience! This model is a prime example of the quality and detail you can expect from Traxxas RC cars - the oil-filled shocks, steel frame rails, and smoothly operating drivetrain give it a super-realistic drive experience. Its short turning radius and accurate throttle control deliver exceptional agility on even the toughest off-road surfaces.
