This is by far one of the coolest vehicle upgrades we have seen in quite a while…the Traxxas TRX-4 all-terrain Traxx. It is one of those hop-up option parts that will definitely improve traction on the TRX-4 as well as drastically change its appearance for the better. The enormous contact patch and grippy treads shrug off the deepest mud and float across deep sand. Traxx raises the portal axles even higher (over 16mm!) for increased ground clearance that lets you straddle huge obstacles on the trail.
Each Traxx drive unit is engineered for rugged, yet smooth performance. An adjustable tension wheel keeps the treads tight while suspended road wheels allow the tread to conform to surface irregularities for maximum traction. Oil-filled dampers on each drive unit control rotational movements to help keep the tread glued to the surface. The rear Traxx drive units are longer to allow climbing steeper grades with authority.

Improved Ground Clearance
Adding Traxx to your TRX-4 significantly improves ground clearance. Traxx adds over 16 mm of ground clearance compared to 1.9” wheels and tires and over 8 mm more than 2.2″ wheels. Traxx functions similar to portal weights, carrying the bulk of the weight down low for improved stability. Traxx also effectively lengthens the wheelbase while increasing the breakover angle which adds stability while ascending steep slopes.
Increased Approach Angle
Traxx drastically increases both the approach and departure angles of the TRX-4. On the TRX-4 Sport, Traxx offers a full 18° higher approach angle and a 28° higher departure angle. This additional clearance allows you to tackle much steeper obstacles without snagging the bumper.
All-Weather Durability
Unlike tires with foam inserts, Traxx won’t absorb water no matter how wet they get. Hardened steel stub axles, rubber-sealed ball bearings for the main drive wheels, and self-lubricating metal bushings everywhere else provide carefree all-weather fun. Best of all, they come pre-assembled and mount to any TRX-4 in just minutes.
