Traxxas TRX-4M Ford F-150 High Trail Edition [VIDEO]

From Traxxas:
HIGH TRAIL PERFORMANCE FOR TRX-4M

Small-scale adventure takes a big leap in performance with TRX-4M™ High Trail™ Edition trucks. Available with either a 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.

LONG ARM LIFT KIT

The High Trail edition’s Factory Installed Long Arm Lift Kit and larger tires raise the center ground clearance over 35% for a dramatic lifted stance. Revised shock mounts and extended links ensure the truck maintains its carefully-tuned suspension geometry for peak performance on challenging terrain.

NEW LARGER 2.4″ TIRES

Larger 2.4″ Mickey Thompson® Baja Pro™ XS replicate the full size tire’s aggressive tread pattern and fill out the High Trail Edition’s wheel wells for an authentic “lifted truck” look. Sticky compound rubber gives extra “bite” for superior traction on the trail.

EXTENDED WHEELBASE

The High Trail Edition’s steel frame rails extend the wheelbase out to 162mm to capture the pickup’s real-world proportions perfectly. A longer wheelbase also translates into greater climbing stability and a smoother, more stable ride over rough terrain.

DETAILED CLIPLESS BODY

The High Trail’s clipless body holds tight on the trail but releases in just seconds with a hidden latching system to preserve its clean lines. The tough ABS body featured molded-in color with highly detailed chrome trim for complete scale authenticity.

INNOVATION

High Trail Edition’s Long Arm Lift Kit expands the core features and capabilities of the standard TRX-4M while maintaining its trail-bred suspension geometry.

LIFTED PERFORMANCE

TRX-4M High Trail Edition’s Long Arm Lift Kit and oversize Mickey Thompson tires raise the center ground clearance 35% higher than the standard truck. Extended links maintain TRX-4M’s superior suspension geometry.

 

Realistic Body Elements

Traxxas took great care to replicate these classic pickups in 1/18 scale. Chrome bumpers, side mirrors, door handles, and even wipers are molded in exacting detail for exceptional scale realism.

Detailed 1.0″ Wheels

The High Trail’s replica 1.0″ wheels are authentic scale reproductions of classic chrome mag wheels. TRX-4M utilizes a standard 7mm hex, making wheel swaps quick and easy.

LED Lighting

High Trail trucks feature standard LED headlights in the front grille. Add optional Pro Scale LED lights and K10 comes to life with functional brake lights, reverse lights, and even emergency flashers (Pro Scale lights sold separately).

Included 2s LiPo Battery with iD

The included 2-cell LiPo battery provides 7.4 volts of high-performance power and over an hour of runtime with Traxxas iD® safety and simplicity. The specially-designed iD connector plugs directly into the ECM-2.5.

2-amp USB Fast Charger with iD®

The included 2-amp USB-A charger provides fast and convenient charging almost anywhere. Traxxas iD technology is the easier and safer way to charge LiPo batteries. Just plug the iD battery in and the charger does the rest. When the LED light turns green, the battery is charged.

Clipless Body Mounting System

Traxxas’ innovative clipless body mounting holds the replica bodies firmly in place no matter how rough the action gets. A quick pull on the hidden clips releases the body in seconds, with no body clips to lose or messy hook and loop tape.

High-Performance Tires

Licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires are accurate down to the smallest detail with an authentic lug pattern and raised sidewall lettering.

Triangulated Four-Link Suspension

TRX-4M High Trail Edition rides on a lifted four-link suspension with heavy duty triangulated rods. Solid front and rear axles provide excellent articulation to climb over the toughest obstacles.

Heavy Duty Center Driveshafts

TRX-4M’s heavy duty center driveshafts telescope freely to allow maximum suspension travel. Smooth-running CV joints are engineered for long-lasting, trouble-free performance.

Spool-Equipped Front & Rear Axles

TRX-4M’s front and rear axles are locked with spools to supply non-stop climbing power to all four wheels. Tough, steel constant-velocity (CV) joints allow increased steering angle at the front wheels for tight turns.

Oil-Filled GTM Shocks

TRX-4M’s oil-filled GTM shocks feature dual O-ring seals at the shaft for a perfect seal and smooth performance. Tuned specifically for the TRX-4M, GTM shocks smooth out bumps for a realistic and controlled ride.

ECM-2.5 Electronic Control Module

ECM-2.5 features low voltage detection for 2s LiPo batteries and EZ-Set® one-button programming to select driving modes. Choose Sport Mode for all-around driving, or Trail Mode for smooth drag braking on steep descents. For a smooth scale look while creeping over technical terrain, Crawl Mode applies full brakes the instant the throttle is released and allows drivers to continue through to reverse without a second push on the trigger.

Low-CG Battery Tray

TRX-4M’s battery tray lies deep in the chassis to concentrate weight as low as possible. A lower center of gravity increases stability and reduces the risk of a rollover. A wide rubber strap keeps the battery safely locked in place and prevents the weight from shifting.

Optional Transmission Ratios

TRX-4M’s modular assembly allows you to swap out different transmissions to change the performance characteristics of the truck. Install the low-range transmission for smooth low-speed torque or boost your top end with the speed gearing option (optional ratios sold separately).

Steel C-Channel Frame Rails

The High Trail Edition’s extended heavy duty frame rails are formed with a deep C-channel for maximum rigidity. The rails are taller through the middle section for increased strength where it’s needed most.

Forward-Mounted Motor

The Titan® motor mounts securely to the transmission module with a fixed gear mesh that never needs adjustment. The motor’s mounting position shifts the weight bias forward for improved crawling dynamics over obstacles.

Heavy Duty Steering Servo

TRX-4M’s heavy duty 2065T servo operates on full 6-volt power with a metal main gear for precise control and powerful steering authority. The rugged one-piece drag link sits high up in the axle to avoid snags and impacts.

High-Quality Hardware

TRX-4M rides on low maintenance self-lubricating bushings for long lasting performance. TRX-4M is assembled with high-quality hex hardware for long-term durability and secure fastening.
