Technical Performance
The Traxxas Maxx VXL is an engineering masterpiece that combines cutting-edge brushless technology with proven monster truck durability. At its heart lies the Velineon 540XL brushless motor—a 4-pole unit spinning at 2400KV with a reinforced 5mm shaft, integrated aluminium heat sink and high-output cooling fan. This motor works in concert with the VXL-4S waterproof electronic speed control, which manages power delivery across a 3S to 4S LiPo battery range. The 32-bit microprocessor continuously monitors motor output for maximum efficiency and longevity, while integrated telemetry connects to the Traxxas Link app for real-time performance monitoring. The drivetrain features a single-speed transmission with an overall drive ratio of 12.37 (achieved through 23/50 motor pinion and spur gears), delivering the optimal balance between acceleration and top speed. Sealed hardened steel bevel differentials with limited-slip characteristics distribute power to all four wheels through the torque-biasing centre drive, a design inherited from the larger X-Maxx but refined for this lighter platform. The entire driveline—including extreme-duty telescoping driveshafts and the innovative Cush Drive system—is engineered to absorb massive impact forces and distribute punishment across the chassis rather than through individual components. Suspension geometry features double-shear WideMaxx arms that are measurably wider than standard, improving cornering grip and rollover resistance during high-speed cornering. The GT-Maxx shocks are precision-machined aluminium cylinders with extra-large bore and capacity, featuring threaded bodies that allow easy spring rate and damping adjustments. The chassis is constructed from composite modular components that interlock with reinforced front and rear bulkheads, creating a structure that absorbs and dissipates impact energy across the entire frame rather than concentrating stress at single points. The truck measures 572mm in length, 405mm in front and rear track width, and 232mm in ride height, with a wheelbase of 352mm and ground clearance of 67mm at the centre skid. Weighing just 4.7kg ready to run, the Maxx punches far above its weight class in terms of performance. The 2.8-inch Sledgehammer tyres on 2.8/3.6-inch diameter wheels provide exceptional grip on loose terrain whilst resisting punctures and tearing, and they come pre-glued to foam inserts ready for immediate action. Steering is managed through double-shear bellcrank geometry coupled with a high-torque servo (285 oz-in torque), delivering responsive, accurate direction changes at all speeds. The TQi 2.4 GHz radio system integrates seamlessly with TSM for automatic stability control, monitoring vehicle behaviour and adjusting throttle and steering authority to keep you in command even when things get wild. Out of the box with a standard 4S LiPo battery, the Maxx delivers 55+ mph of top speed; with optional gearing adjustments and a 4S battery, speeds exceed 60 mph. The entire vehicle carries a waterproof rating that extends to the motor, ESC and receiver, meaning you can drive through wet terrain, splash through puddles and even light rain without risking electrical damage—a crucial feature for serious bashers and track racers.

- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
