What makes the TRX85086-4-FOX1 chassis design stand out?
The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer TRX85086-4-FOX1 1:10 brushless short course truck is built on a Pro Scale® chassis that mirrors the geometry and suspension layout of full-size desert race trucks. This includes a 4-link solid rear axle and cantilever sway bars that allow for massive suspension travel and authentic handling dynamics. The chassis integrates sealed 4-gear differentials in the front and centre, with a locked spool in the rear to ensure consistent power delivery across uneven terrain. With a wheelbase of 420 mm and a ground clearance of 58 mm, the TRX85086-4-FOX1 maintains stability and control while navigating high-speed desert runs and technical off-road sections.
How does the VXL-6s ESC and 2200kV motor deliver high-speed performance?
At the heart of the Traxxas TRX85086-4-FOX1 4WD desert race truck with VXL-6s ESC and LED lights lies a power system designed for extreme output and reliability. The Velineon 2200kV brushless motor delivers high RPM torque and sustained acceleration, while the VXL-6s ESC regulates power with precision. This ESC is waterproof and telemetry-enabled, allowing drivers to monitor performance metrics in real time. When paired with dual 3S or 4S LiPo batteries, the system unlocks speeds exceeding 50 mph, making the TRX85086-4-FOX1 a formidable contender in any off-road environment. The ESC’s compatibility with Traxxas Link further enhances control and tuning options for advanced users.
Why is the torque-biasing centre drive essential for desert terrain?
The Traxxas UDR with Velineon 2200kV motor and torque-biasing centre drive – TRX85086-4-FOX1 features a drivetrain engineered to handle high loads and deliver balanced traction. The torque-biasing centre drive distributes power efficiently between the front and rear axles, reducing wheel spin and improving cornering grip. This system works in tandem with the sealed differentials and direct-drive transmission to maintain stability during aggressive acceleration and directional changes. Whether navigating loose sand or rocky trails, the drivetrain ensures that the TRX85086-4-FOX1 remains composed and responsive under pressure.
How do the GTR shocks and solid rear axle enhance suspension performance?
The Traxxas 1:10 scale desert truck with solid rear axle and GTR shocks is equipped with eight GTR aluminium-bodied dampers that provide superior terrain absorption and control. These shocks are tuned for long travel, allowing the suspension to soak up impacts from jumps, bumps, and uneven surfaces. The solid rear axle replicates the movement and articulation of full-scale desert trucks, delivering realistic handling and maximum traction. Combined with the cantilever sway bars and wide track width of 345 mm, the suspension system ensures that the TRX85086-4-FOX1 maintains composure and grip across varied terrain profiles.
What role does the LED lighting system play in scale realism?
The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer brushless truck with clipless body and 204 LED lights features a fully integrated lighting system that enhances both visibility and aesthetic appeal. With 204 individual LEDs, the system includes front light bars, rear brake lights, and accent lighting that replicates the look of professional desert race trucks. These lights are mounted securely and draw minimal power, allowing for extended night-time operation without compromising performance. The lighting system complements the FOX Racing clipless body, which offers tool-free access and secure mounting for quick maintenance and battery changes.
Is the TRX85086-4-FOX1 suitable for advanced RC drivers?
Designed for skill level 5 users, the Traxxas UDR FOX Racing TRX85086-4-FOX1 1:10 scale electric off-road truck is tailored for experienced drivers seeking high-speed control and scale realism. The TQi 2.4 GHz radio system with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) provides adjustable assistance, allowing users to fine-tune handling based on terrain and driving style.

- 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.
