Top 10 In-Stock Traxxas Vehicles

Which Traxxas vehicles are now the best? Regrettably, the worldwide supply chain problems have negatively impacted the availability of R/C cars. Nevertheless, V8engieforsale has a large selection of Traxxas vehicles that are eager, ready, and available as the holiday season approaches. Which vehicles are those? As we count down through our top ten Traxxas vehicles that are currently available, let's find out!

#10 LaTrax 1/18 Vehicles

We're talking about the LaTrax line of 1/18 scale electric cars, which includes the 4WD Desert Prerunner Short Course Truck, the 4WD Teton Monster Truck, and the 4WD Rally Car. These are the smallest and least expensive vehicles on our list, but they're still fun. These vehicles have the same independent suspension, oil-filled shocks, ProGraphix-painted bodywork, and weatherproof brushed circuitry. The 1/18 scale's smaller size also saves room, making them incredibly portable and playable almost anywhere. The best thing about the LaTrax 1/18 scale vehicles is that they have a battery and are utterly operational for less than $150.

#9 Traxxas Bandit

The Traxxas Bandit, the third vehicle on the list, is one of the most well-known R/C buggies. With its usual 1/10 scale size, this buggy is the first on our list and offers significant speed, functionality, and upgradeability improvements. Right out of the box, the Bandit VXL brushless model can achieve a remarkable top speed of 70 mph. This can be accomplished, although there aren't many prerequisites. The Bandit is prepared for off-road dirt and pavement thanks to its independent suspension, oil-filled shocks, and waterproof electronics. In terms of improvements, this Traxxas chassis likely has more alternative components and accessories than any other R/C vehicle. Therefore, finding upgrades, accessories, and replacement parts should never be difficult. Starting at $220, the brushed Bandit has a battery and charger (TRA24054-1 only). The Bandit VXL, which costs around $320 if you're searching for a brushless car, does need a battery pack.

#8 Traxxas TRX-4

The reliable TRX-4 is the next Traxxas vehicle available for purchase. The TRX-4 is an excellent example of a slow crawling truck made to handle rough terrain, and certain R/C vehicles don't need to be fast. The TRX-4 uses a 4WD drivetrain, waterproof electronics, and sturdy, high-clearance portal axles to accomplish this. While not all TRX-4 models have them, some have remote locking differentials and a selectable 2-speed transmission that may be changed via a switch on the transmitter. Although some body styles, such as the recently announced 2021 Ford Bronco, are not constantly available due to the popularity of the TRX-4, many of the other body styles are regularly available. The price of the ready-to-run TRX-4 Sport trucks starts at $285 and increases as the two-speed differential and legally licensed bodywork are added.

The TRX-4 is also available as a kit for those who wish to construct it themselves.

#7 Traxxas Slash 4x4

Since the Traxxas Slash is one of the most well-known and significant R/C vehicles ever made, you have likely heard of it. When the competition heats up, the exhilaration of short-course trucks is partly due to their ability to shift paint. Because of this, short course trucks are a lot of fun to use with friends and family. If you're fortunate enough to live close to a track, they offer a Slash spec class, which is popular at many tracks and an excellent way to use this truck in an official race. Regardless of your goals, the Slash is a fantastic R/C that can be enhanced and modified to become almost anything. In addition to the 2WD or 4WD options, the Slash has brushed or VXL brushless electronics and, of course, a variety of body colours and styles. All variations are available, but not all of the various body types and colours. Both models come with a battery pack starting at $230 for the 2WD brushed Slash and $330 for the brushless Slash 4x4.

#6 Traxxas Rustler 4x4

Our next truck, the Rustler 4X4, is a fantastic basher, even though you probably wouldn't race it. Except for its width, this 1/10 scale vehicle is comparable in size to the Slash and Bandit. The main benefit of a wide stance is the additional stability it provides the truck, particularly when driving on rough, uneven terrain or at high speeds when corning quickly. It's not as forgiving when rubbing paint as a short course truck because the wheels protrude over the body, but the added aggression this wide stance gives you makes the Rustler 4x4 an excellent vehicle for wheelies, thrashing, and baths. The truck is rated at an impressive 65 mph speed with the Brushless VXL model. We tried it ourselves, and it reached 66 mph. One of the most significant ways to release some steam while remaining in the 1/10 sized category is the Rustler 4x4, which is fun to thrash around and offers a bit more aggression than Traxxas cars of a similar size. The brushed Rustler 4x4 model costs $330 with a battery included, while the brushless VXL variant costs $430 with a battery.

#5 Traxxas Hoss

Next up is the Traxxas Hoss VXL, a car that only debuted a year ago and is currently available solely with brushless VXL electronics. In terms of size, the Hoss is the biggest car we've covered so far. It has the same VXL electronics as the other cars but an enormous 540XL motor that scarcely makes a sound when driving. The Hoss performed amazing wheelies, backflips, and thudding around when we tested it. The Hoss sits higher off the ground than any of the other cars we've discussed so far, partly because of its taller tyres and chassis design. The Hoss has a lower centre of gravity but provides more ground clearance over the terrain, just as a true monster truck should. However, aggressive power, aggressive tyres, aggressive style, and that fantastic Traxxas monster truck look more than compensate for the Hoss's lack of CGs. The Hoss costs $470 and comes with a battery. It comes in several body colour options.

#4 Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3

Say welcome to the T-Maxx 3.3 Monster Truck, the first nitro on our list, if you enjoy the morning scent of nitro. While some legends choose to wear capes, others brands and throw dirt—precisely what the T-Maxx 3.3 nitro truck was designed to do. Please understand that nitro R/C cars are unsuitable for everyone and are not advised for novices. However, it might be time to wake up and accept your fate if you dream about clutch shoes, gasoline clunks, and carburettors. The TRX 3.3 racing engine with an EZ-Start system, a two-speed automatic transmission, integrated telemetry sensors, eight large shocks, and an aggressive monster truck style are some of the T-Maxx's features. Therefore, the T-Maxx 3.3 might be for you if you want to join a select group of nitrogen enthusiasts or if you're searching for a challenge or something new. The vehicle costs around $500 and is ready to go right out of the box, but nitro fuel is needed.

#3 Traxxas Maxx

It isn't easy to find a better truck than the Traxxas Maxx when it comes to extreme R/C vehicles you can purchase and play with. This truck, which is still relatively new, uses all of Traxxas' cutting-edge technology, including body clipless latching and self-righting. More significantly, though, the Maxx is the same as the X-Maxx, with only the dimensions reduced, meaning that you get a little, light truck that is strong, quick, thrashable, and incredibly resilient. If you're itching to upgrade, the drivetrain is overbuilt to handle extra power. Although the Maxx is smaller, lighter, easier to carry, easier to store, takes fewer batteries, and costs less than the larger X-Maxx, some people think it doesn't seem as remarkable. The Traxxas Maxx is therefore available if you still want the delicious Maxx flavour without the added calories of the X. Conveniently, the Maxx is only available with VXL brushless electronics, comes completed and ready to drive for approximately $550, and comes in a few different body colour options. It does, however, require a battery.

#2 Traxxas UDR

This is the only UDR or Unlimited Desert Racer, and it takes you from the desert to the dirt to the street. With over 27", this pro-scale surface brute is the largest and maybe most realistic R/C we have discussed thus far. With a 4WD transmission, 4-link solid axle rear suspension, cantilever sway bar system, 8 GTR long-travel shocks, and a 50 mph speed rating, the UDR is designed to drive like an actual desert truck in addition to having an actual desert truck appearance. Therefore, the UDR delivers whether you're tearing through the neighbourhood or blasting through the dunes. A ProGraphix-painted outer body shell built on a tube frame with an interior driver, dash accents, suspension limiter straps, faux disc brakes, and other features are examples of scale details. In addition, the UDR has extra tyres and a replacement driveshaft for aesthetic purposes, but they can also be used trailside. Current UDR models, which cost approximately $800 and require a battery, also have a rugged, waterproof LED lighting system built and supplied. There are three different body colour options available.

#1 Traxxas X-Maxx

What is the greatest Traxxas Monster Truck with massive 4x4 power and enormous size? How about the Traxxas X-Maxx, then? The X-Maxx is the largest and most extreme monster truck Traxxas has ever provided. Its 30-inch length, 19-pound weight, and 8S LiPo compatibility make it ideal for large R/C cars. Along with all the latest Traxxas innovations, like self-righting, the X-Maxx also has massive, larger tyres, shocks, and posture. The X-Maxx is the perfect platform for the roughest, most extreme terrains, where other R/Cs cannot go, thanks to its equally remarkable ground clearance. As a result, the X-Maxx is the best monster truck in terms of strength, performance, durability, and capacity. This monster may bite you, so make sure you have open pastures to allow it to roam freely. The Traxxas X-Maxx costs over $1000 and comes with two battery packs. It is now available in four different coloured body types and is fully operational.

Honorable Mentions

Honourable mention should be given to a few vehicles, such as the new Traxxas Drag Slash, a great introduction to R/C drag racing without any preparation. The high-performance beast known as the E-Revo 2.0 is another excellent off-road choice. Although both cars are highly recommended, they were regrettably sold out at the time of this writing. Nevertheless, these items are available for backorder and will be shipped as soon as they come.
