About the TRX-4M Rock Crawler

Advanced Electronics

The TRX-4M comes equipped with the ECM-2.5™ Electronic Control Module, combining the ESC, receiver, and LED controller into a single, water-resistant unit. This all-in-one design provides simplicity and durability while offering Sport, Trail, and Crawl driving modes. The Titan® 180 87-turn brushed motor delivers smooth low-end torque for precision crawling, and the TQ™ 2.4GHz transmitter offers reliable, long-range control with intuitive operation. Built-in safety features like low-voltage detection and motor overload protection ensure dependable operation on every outing.

Highly Detailed Body

With an officially licensed Land Rover Defender body, the TRX-4M showcases scale accuracy in every detail. The molded ABS hard body features realistic elements like side mirrors, door handles, wipers, and rugged fender flares. Clipless body mounting provides a secure hold during trail runs and allows for quick and easy removal. Molded-in color ensures a durable finish that won’t chip or flake, while the built-in LED bumper lights bring your nighttime adventures to life.

Suspension & Drivetrain

Underneath the detailed exterior lies a heavy-duty steel ladder frame and a high-performance four-link suspension system. The oil-filled GTM™ shocks smooth out rough terrain with realistic body articulation and damping control. Full-time 4WD with solid steel axles, spools, and heavy-duty CV center driveshafts ensures constant traction and rugged durability. The low center of gravity battery tray and forward-mounted motor keep the weight balanced for superior crawling performance, delivering stable handling and confident traction across a variety of terrain.

Noel Verified Owner Saturday, Jun 15 2024 (about a year ago) Traxxas TRX-4M® 1/18 RTR Electric Rock Crawler w/Land Rover Defender Body One of the best RTRs on the market.

Overall a great mini crawler. Don’t expect it to perform like a full TRX-4, it’s 1/18 scale. It climbs over things that in real life would be bigger than the car! It has been submerged several times, still works great. Even the ProScale lights work still! 1 of 3 customers found this review helpful. View all reviews
