The BL-2s brushless system is specifically designed for 2S LiPo batteries. The battery tray measures 113 mm L x 41 mm W x 22 mm H, and future upgrades should fit within these dimensions. The included 2-amp USB-C balance charger is specifically rated for 2S batteries and charges the included battery safely and efficiently.
• How fast is the Mini Maxx BL-2S? — With the included 3500 mAh 2S LiPo battery, the Mini Maxx delivers 30+ mph top speed. This impressive velocity for a 1/10 scale truck provides genuine thrills whilst remaining manageable and safe for outdoor driving. Performance may vary slightly depending on driving surface, battery charge level, and weather conditions.
• Is this waterproof? — The Mini Maxx features waterproof electronics including a waterproof BL-2s brushless ESC and waterproof high-torque 2056 servo. This means the truck can safely handle wet grass, light rain, and muddy conditions common in UK outdoor driving. However, the electronics are waterproof rather than submersible, so avoid deliberately driving through deep water or submerging the truck entirely.
• What is the difference between the Mini Maxx and other Traxxas trucks? — The Mini Maxx combines legendary Maxx engineering and durability into a genuinely portable 1/10 scale package. Unlike larger full-size Maxx trucks, the Mini Maxx slides easily into a backpack whilst retaining the characteristic Maxx overbuilt construction and impressive speed.
