Pro-Scale™ Body:
Precision-modeled after a full-scale unlimited desert race truck, the rugged Pro-Scale body is securely mounted to the frame. The open window design showcases the intricate tube frame chassis and detailed interior cockpit. Choose either the Fox® or RIGID® body style to light up the desert with vibrant color!

BFGoodrich® Tires and Wheels:
Aggressive replica BFGoodrich® KR3 tires ride on tough 17mm hex Desert Race wheels (Fox®) or licensed Method® Race wheels (RIGID®) with bright beadlock rings. The tires are scale replicas of the 40 inch tires used on the top trucks in the desert.

Rugged Tube Cage:
The rugged tube frame chassis is fully-functional and an integral part of the overall unlimited desert race chassis design. The tube frame chassis provides rigid support for shocks, bumpers, and suspension. The design is engineered to help absorb and distribute impacts for the rock-solid durability that is required in the desert.

Detailed Interior:
The highly detailed interior with driver figures enhances the realism to the point that you might think you are looking at a real truck while driving. Switches, radios, safety gear, shifter, navigation…it’s all there!

Versatile Battery Compartment:
The versatile battery compartment accommodates single 4s LiPo packs or dual 2s or 3s LiPo packs. A rugged battery strap locks into place to hold even the largest batteries securely. The strap attaches firmly to the frame so there are no clips to lose. View the full list of compatible batteries here.

Fixed Battery Connectors:
Fixed battery connectors make battery installation a breeze. The innovative design allows a range of single and dual-battery configurations to be used.

Fixed One-Piece Body:
The one-piece body attaches securely to the functional tube frame chassis in multiple locations for long-lasting durability and scale realism. With no body clips to pop off, this armor-tough body allows easy access to the electronic speed control and showcases the highly detailed suspension, cockpit, and tube frame chassis.

Reinforced Bumpers:
Impact absorbing front and rear bumpers soak up the hits to protect the chassis and provide rigid support for the fixed body.

Fixed Gear Mesh:
Proper gear mesh is critical with high-torque 6s power systems. A thick aluminum motor plate with reliable fixed-pin gear mesh settings are used for perfect alignment.

Dual Bellcrank Steering:
Built for the rigors of desert racing, fixed-length steering links are mounted to dual bellcranks with an integrated servo saver for precise, reliable steering.

Solid Rear Axle:
The Unlimited Desert Racer rides on a solid rear axle with a spool for supreme toughness and authentic driving dynamics. Large diameter steel half shafts provide extra durability out to the wheels.

Pro-Scale™ Driveshafts:
A heavy-duty, splined driveshaft channels power to the front differential while rear power is transferred via a fixed-length aluminum and steel driveshaft. The realistic fixed-length driveshaft provides superior strength, reduces driveline lash, and lowers rotational mass for improved response.

Torque-Biasing Center Drive:
The Torque-Biasing Center Drive distributes power between the front and rear axles for maximum traction on any surface. There’s no clutch to slip, just instant power on tap when you need it.

New Extreme-Travel GTR Shocks:
Huge, Extreme-travel aluminum GTR shocks are threaded to adjust ride height on a single high performance spring at each corner. A separate slave shock provides additional damping action and doubles the oil capacity for the smoothest action possible.

Heavy-Duty Front Suspension:
Massive front suspension arms form a double wishbone design to maintain proper geometry throughout their huge range of travel. The semi-solid design fully captures both shock and sway bar rod ends for ultimate durability and toughness. Large steering blocks use oversized bearings to accommodate the steel axles.

New VXL-6s™ ESC with Telemetry:
Fortified to handle extreme 6s LiPo power, the VXL-6s speed control flows current to the motor through Maxx Cable wiring with large 6mm connectors. LED status lights keep you fully informed on the ESC’s status and a heavy-duty fan keeps temperatures under control. The high-tech VXL-6s speed control provides real-time telemetry using the Traxxas Link app while retaining Traxxas’ easy one-button programming simplicity.

2200kV Brushless Motor:
The 2200kV brushless motor transforms 22+ volts of LiPo power into 50+ mph speed and desert shredding torque for the ultimate in Pro-Scale™ performance.

Waterproof Metal Gear Servo:
The digital 2075X metal-gear servo provides precise input and powerful torque. It’s fully waterproof to make all-weather adventures a reality and it’s further protected from damage underneath the tough skid plates.

TQi™ Radio System:
The fully featured Traxxas TQi™ 2.4GHz radio system delivers the superior speed, precision, and control required for the Desert Racer’s immersive driving experience. The transmitter is Traxxas Link enabled, making it easy to pair a smartphone with the optional #6511 Wireless Module. The Traxxas Link app opens up a whole world of tuning options and also displays real-time telemetry from the ESC.

Waterproof from the Start:
Patented Traxxas innovation seals out the water so that the fun doesn’t end in water, snow, and mud. Dirty truck? Just hose it off. The ESC, servo, and receiver box are all fully waterproof.
