The Traxxas X-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!
WIDEMAXX® FROM THE START
WideMaxx stance stretches the wheels out over 1.5 inches (40 mm) wider for even greater stability.
LONGER CHASSIS
The extended chassis length now accommodates our most powerful batteries, the same 6700mAh 4-cell LiPo batteries used in the X-Maxx.
SLEDGEHAMMER® TIRES
Taller Sledgehammer tires feature an aggressive open-block tread design that clears away mud and debris for unrivaled traction.
THE MAXX EXPERIENCE
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.
60 MPH MAXX® MUSCLE
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.
TRAXXAS TOUGH™
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.
