The Traxxas Maxx® is a giant that forever changed the face of RC monster trucks. Its radical cutting-edge design, massive size, brutal strength, and unmatched power transformed X-Maxx into the stuff of legends. The 1/10 Traxxas Maxx expertly packages X-Maxx’s innovative design elements and jaw-dropping strength into a lighter, more compact, more ferocious beast. Now the newest Maxx is even bigger, with a longer wheelbase, beefier Sledgehammer tires, and that incredible WideMaxx stance for more intense action. Let the fun begin!
The popular WideMaxx kit now comes factory installed for rock solid cornering and ultimate stability
Maxx’s new energy absorbing chassis extends further to accommodate our most powerful 6700mAh 4-cell LiPo battery. The ultra-tough composite chassis design with interlocking bulkheads forms a bedrock foundation for the heavy-duty suspension.
Large diameter, open tread block tires rain down massive clouds of roost and dominate any surface.
Brutal punch off the line strains the wheelie bar as Maxx launches hard and fast on its way to 60+ mph. The advanced Velineon VXL-4s Electronic Speed Control (ESC) not only puts down the power, but it also has built-in telemetry that provides real-time speed, temperature, and voltage data. Integrated cooling fans on the ESC and the motor provide extended run times.
A wheelie bar is mandatory equipment to handle Maxx’s wheel-standing acceleration. The wheelie bar helps prevent backflips under full-throttle acceleration and flexes to absorb impacts on less-than-perfect landings. It also features a convenient handle to transport your Maxx to the next adventure.
The high-output Traxxas TQi™ 2.4GHz radio system delivers superior range, precision, and control. It is Traxxas Link enabled so you can add a Wireless Module (part #6511, sold separately) and connect wirelessly to the Traxxas Link™ app using your smart phone. Use it to customize your settings and view real time telemetry from the VXL-4s speed control.
Traxxas Stability Management™ (TSM) works behind the scenes to help harness Maxx’s brutal 4s power for maximum acceleration and exceptional control. Go ahead, rip full throttle! TSM never limits power output and works to keep Maxx going where you point it, even when traction is destroyed by spinning tires and massive roost. Adjust the amount of assistance from off to 100% right from your transmitter.
The unique Maxx chassis design completely encloses the center driveshaft inside a rigid backbone structure for ultimate protection. Rugged, non-structural front and rear skid plates are designed to take all the punishment to protect critical bulkheads and driveline components. After they have done their job, simply replace them and Maxx will look as good as new.
Rugged durability is job one for Maxx’s drive system. Maxx utilizes proven components and technology from much larger and heavier trucks resulting in a driveline that has strength to spare. At its core are wide face steel gears, large steel ring and pinion gears, heavy-duty splined driveshafts, and a thick-walled, splined aluminum center driveshaft.
The proven Torque-Biasing Center Drive is optimized for maximum front-to-rear power distribution. It’s tuned to deliver jaw-dropping four-wheel drive acceleration along with massive punch and instant response. Traxxas’ exclusive Cush Drive™ tech absorbs driveline impacts to further improve driveline durability without maintenance or adjustment.
Originally pioneered for the X-Maxx, this exclusive, patent-pending Traxxas innovation uses 4S LiPo power to flip Maxx back onto its wheels after a roll over. In most situations, the fun won’t stop just to rescue an upside down truck.
Water? Mud? Snow? Bring it on! Maxx exploits Traxxas’ patented waterproofing solutions that make the huge difference between being truly waterproof and merely “water resistant.” Traxxas waterproof electronics reliably extend your fun into all kinds of places that used to be off-limits.
Maxx’s innovative clipless body mounting system replaces tiny clips with a rugged latching system. Remove and install the body in seconds with just one hand. A tough cage structure supports the body while supplemental body reinforcements protect the body against wear and damage.
An improved battery tray now accommodates Traxxas’ most powerful 6700mAh 4-cell LiPo battery. Maxx cradles and protects the single 4S LiPo battery deep in the chassis and secures it with a snap-lock battery retention system. Proven in trucks like X-Maxx, this innovative Traxxas system is far more durable than traditional methods.
Experience the full performance of your Maxx® truck with Traxxas Power Cell LiPo batteries. Power Cell LiPo batteries provide maximum punch off the line and free flowing power for 60+ mph speed runs. Only Traxxas Power Cell batteries offer the safety and one-button charging convenience of patented iD™ technology.

The extended chassis length now accommodates our most powerful batteries, the same 6700mAh 4-cell LiPo batteries used in the X-Maxx.
Taller Sledgehammer tires feature an aggressive open-block tread design that clears away mud and debris for unrivaled traction.
Maxx makes a statement with six all-new ProGraphix® clipless bodies with our brightest and boldest color options yet.
Maxx turns up the dial on fun with even more of what you crave. The new Maxx doubles down on strength and durability with a longer and wider stance for greater stability to match its blistering 60+ mph performance. Bury the throttle, fly through corners, and let the new Maxx turn your wildest full-throttle dreams into reality.
Traxxas Velineon® brushless power hits hard with massive 4s punch for an awe-inspiring 60+ mph top speed and effortless wheelies on demand. The high-output 540XL motor features a beefy 5 mm shaft, aluminum heat sink, and a powerful fan. Of course it’s all fully protected with Traxxas’ innovative waterproofing.
Maxx is overbuilt with components found on much larger and heavier vehicles to withstand extreme punishment and intense driving action. The Maxx chassis absorbs and dissipates impact energy across the entire structure for superior strength. Huge threaded-aluminum GT-Maxx shocks with oversized shafts soak up massive jumps for high-flying fun at every turn.
Outfitted with Traxxas’ legendary Sledgehammer tires, Maxx is ready for action with multiple layers of biting edges for sure-footed traction on just about any surface. The Sledgehammer’s heavy duty rubber compound is specially formulated to resist tearing and bonds exceptionally well with Traxxas’ Ultra Premium tire glue. The 2.8” wheels have a large glue surface for bead mounting and utilize a 17 mm hex mounting pattern with a flanged locknut.
Maxx is built for all-day action with a full length motor cradle to fully support the 540XL motor and eliminate gear-crunching flex. The innovative fixed gear mesh system precisely sets the gear mesh with fixed pins so you can focus on driving and having fun and never have to worry about gear mesh adjustment.
Maxx’s integrated shock towers are part of the chassis and produce a rigid, triangulated structure for secure mounting of the shocks and body. They also provide an authentic off-road look that fills in the wheel openings of the truck. Sometimes the landing after a jump does not go as planned, so the upper shock mounts are shrouded for protection against impacts and grinding.
Waterproofing our models has never been an afterthought at Traxxas. Patented Traxxas innovation seals out the water so that your playground is extended through water, snow, and mud. Dirty truck? Just hose it off. The new style box allows fast radio access without removal.
The steering servo in Maxx is the same size as the steering servo used on the giant X-Maxx. With 285oz-in of torque, it has strength and power in reserve for fast response and incredible steering authority.
The Maxx’s extended chassis now accommodates our largest Power Cell 6700mAh 4-cell LiPo battery from the X-Maxx® for extended run times and even more thrills. The snap-lock retainer keeps a secure grip on the battery, but releases in seconds.
The four extra-large bore, oil-filled GT-Maxx shocks provide super plush damping even on the roughest terrain. Extra-large diameter shock shafts move smoothly through the double X-ring seals for responsive damping. Machined aluminum bodies are threaded to adjust ride height while the lower spring retainers are captured by screws to keep them secure, even on the harshest landings.
The Maxx’s oversized double wishbone suspension arms maintain proper suspension geometry throughout the entire range of travel. Double-shear connections and extra-thick steel upper and lower tie bars provide incredible strength and impact resistance. Tough new composites further resist impact damage, even in cold weather.
The interlocking chassis design ties the shock towers, front and rear modules, and the main frame into a single rigid platform that is engineered to absorb and dissipate impact energy across the entire structure. Critical driveline, radio, and battery components are protected to keep Maxx off the workbench and out having fun. Strategically placed tool access has been thoughtfully put in place to make any needed maintenance or repairs a snap to perform.
Maxx utilizes full contact sealed bearings throughout the driveline to keep out the grime and grit. Less downtime for cleaning and maintaining bearings equals more run time for the Maxx.
Traxxas’ innovative Cush Drive™ uses a special elastomer damper to absorb driveline shocks at the spur gear for superior reliability. Because there is nothing to slip or adjust, Cush Drive provides instant acceleration and throttle control.
The Torque-Biasing Center Drive absorbs shocks to improve driveline durability. The center drive also distributes power to all four wheels for mind-bending four-wheel drive acceleration without the side effects of a typical center differential. Center differentials allow tires in the air to balloon uncontrollably, while the Torque-Biasing Center Drive allows wheelies off the line with seamless power distributed to all four wheels.
A new thick-wall, heavy-duty, splined aluminum center driveshaft carries the power to the front and rear differentials. This heavy-duty driveshaft yields precise engagement, incredible strength, and smooth running.
Traxxas telescoping splined driveshafts benefit from years of Traxxas design evolution for durable, smooth-running performance you can count on. These extreme-duty driveshafts maximize suspension travel and steering angles to radically extend the Maxx performance envelope.
The Maxx’s 4-gear differentials are sealed and filled with heavyweight oil, which provides a limited-slip effect for maximum traction on loose surfaces. The reinforced differentials use the same design as E-Revo® 2.0 along with 7mm output shafts. Large-pitch, large-diameter, steel ring and pinion gears are installed for ultimate reliability.
