Part # 97044-1-BLK · Traxxas model 97044-1
Overview
TRX-4M Scale and Trail® Crawler with 1979 Ford® F-150® Truck Body: 1/18-Scale 4WD Electric Truck with TQ 2.4GHz Radio System
Small-scale adventure takes a big leap in performance with TRX-4M High Trail™ Edition trucks. Available with either a Chevrolet® K10 or Ford® F-150® body, High Trail trucks offer over 35% more center ground clearance than a standard TRX-4M. Both trucks ride on larger Mickey Thompson® Baja Pro™ XS tires with an extended wheelbase for even more all-terrain capability. From indoor fun to outdoor adventure, TRX-4M High Trail Edition pickups deliver the quality and performance you expect from Traxxas.
TRX-4M High Trail Edition performs like a full-size crawler because it's built like one. A new extended rigid steel ladder frame runs from bumper to bumper to virtually eliminate flex. You'll feel the added stability of its longer wheelbase on steep climbs or while navigating technical terrain.
High Trail Edition trucks ride on a sophisticated four-link suspension with extended heavy duty linkages. Spool-equipped solid axles supply non-stop climbing power with excellent articulation and extended center ground clearance to climb over the toughest obstacles. Heavy duty telescoping center driveshafts send the motor's torque to the axles with a smooth-running CV design.
TRX-4M outmaneuvers much smaller trucks thanks to its exceptional 45° steering angle—an impressive feat considering its larger and more versatile size.
Constructed out of tough ABS, TRX-4M High Trail Editions faithfully captures all the details of these classic Ford and Chevrolet pickups in exacting 1/18 scale. Tinted windows, chrome trim, a pickup bed, and other molded body accessories give them a truly authentic appearance.
Standard LED headlights enhance the High Trail's scale appearance and create new avenues for fun as you challenge your driving skills through sofa-cushion tunnels or over garden obstacles when the sun goes down.
Large 2.4? Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires give High Trail Editions that lifted truck look. The oversize tires improve the center ground clearance and put more rubber to the ground for exceptional off-road performance. Detailed 8-hole chrome mag wheels round out the package for a stunning scale appearance.
You'll never need to change course to avoid puddles, mud, or snow with lifted High Trail Edition trucks. We built TRX-4M for all-weather adventure with fully-waterproof electronics.
