Traxxas Maxx® Now with WideMaxx®
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. Maxx with WideMaxx is even bigger, with a longer wheelbase, beefier Sledgehammer tires, and that incredible wide 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 6700 mAh 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.
MORE COLORS
Maxx makes a statement with several ProGraphix® new clipless bodies with our brightest and boldest color options yet.
A New Level of Maxx Fun!

The Maxx Experience
Maxx turns up the dial on fun with even more of what you crave. 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 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.
Innovation
Details
Sledgehammer® Tires
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.
Full Length Motor Cradle
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.
Shock Tower Design
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.
Waterproof From the Start
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 receiver box allows fast radio access without removal.
Maxx® Steering Authority
The steering servo in Maxx is the same size as the steering servo used on the giant X-Maxx. With 285 oz-in of torque, it has strength and power in reserve for fast response and incredible steering authority.
Battery Compartment
The Maxx’s extended chassis now accommodates our largest Power Cell 6700 mAh 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.
GT-Maxx Aluminum Shocks
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.
Heavy Duty Suspension Arms
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 composites further resist impact damage, even in cold weather.
Modular Chassis Design
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.
Full Contact Sealed Bearings
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.
Shock-Absorbing Cush Drive
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.
Torque-Biasing Center Drive
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.
Aluminum Splined Driveshaft
A 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.
Extreme-Duty Telescoping Driveshafts
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.
Steel Gear Differentials
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 7 mm output shafts along with large-pitch, large-diameter, steel ring and pinion gears for ultimate reliability.
