As part of Traxxas' commitment to durability and performance in the ready to run RC monster truck category, the E-Revo VXL transmission features a heavy-duty driveline with steel CV shafts that transfer power from the differentials to the wheels with exceptional reliability. The E-Revo platform itself is born from the award-winning nitro-powered Revo, and the brushless electric VXL version has become legendary for extreme 4WD performance across all terrain types. This transmission component is engineered to maintain that performance advantage, whether you're running on blacktop, hard-packed dirt, loose soil, grass, sand, or snow.
The transmission assembly works in perfect harmony with the E-Revo VXL's integrated battery compartments, monocoque chassis design, and the complete drivetrain system that makes this monster truck such a capable performer. If you're restoring an E-Revo VXL, upgrading from wear and tear, or building a competition-grade machine, this OEM Traxxas transmission is the authentic choice.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Transmission Complete assembly (TRX8695) represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty transmission design for high-performance electric brushless RC monster trucks in the 1/10 scale category. This component is specifically engineered to handle the extreme power delivery of the VXL-6s brushless power system, which is capable of producing instant wheelie-popping, dirt-roosting torque with ample horsepower to push the E-Revo VXL past 70 mph when equipped with dual 3-cell 5000mAh LiPo power cells. The transmission features steel CV shafts with CV-style joints and universal joint connections, allowing the efficient transfer of power from the motor through the differentials to the wheels whilst maintaining reliability under extreme bashful loads and competition use. The silicone boots on the CV shafts seal in lubrication and keep mud, dirt, and debris from entering the joint assemblies, extending service life significantly compared to unprotected alternatives. The complete transmission assembly includes all necessary components for the front and rear differential systems, ensuring balanced power distribution and smooth operation whether you're launching at full throttle on blacktop, crawling through rocky terrain, or sliding through sand dunes. Built with the same uncompromising attention to detail that has made the E-Revo VXL an icon in the brushless RC monster truck UK market, this transmission is rated for 6-cell LiPo power and the full performance envelope of the E-Revo platform.
