Description
The Traxxas XRT Ultimate represents the pinnacle of the X-Truck platform, engineered for maximum strength, precision, and performance. This is not a standard truck; it's a special edition that comes factory-equipped with over $1,000 in high-strength aluminium upgrades and performance parts, creating the most durable truck Traxxas has ever offered. The massive 8S Velineon brushless power system pushes the XRT Ultimate to speeds over 100 km/h, while the included Traxxas Link Wireless Module allows you to monitor real-time telemetry data like speed and RPM directly on your mobile device.
Every aspect of the XRT Ultimate is focused on high-performance handling and durability. The belted Gravix race tyres have an internal webbing that prevents them from ballooning at high speeds, ensuring a consistent contact patch for predictable grip. An immensely powerful, upgraded 46.8kg-cm (650oz-in) metal-geared servo provides complete steering authority, even under the most demanding conditions. This is complemented by premium components like the GTX aluminium shocks, WideMaxx suspension, and an ultra-low centre of gravity chassis that all contribute to its sharp, race-truck handling. The XRT Ultimate is the definitive choice for experienced drivers who demand the very best in speed, strength, and precision.
Features
Upgraded Aluminium Performance Components
The XRT receives substantial aluminium upgrades in key areas like the suspension, chassis, and drivetrain. These strong metal parts improve high-speed stability and precision, creating a highly durable truck built to handle the demands of 8S power. It's engineered for strength and long-lasting performance
Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module Included
A Traxxas Link™ Wireless Module comes standard to access the truck's on-board telemetry. Using the free Traxxas Link app on your mobile device, you can make micro-adjustments to the transmitter and view real-time data like speed, motor RPM, and battery voltage while you drive
High-Traction Belted Gravix® Race Tyres
The XRT's belted Gravix® race tyres offer dependable performance on and off the track. The directional tread provides excellent traction and runs quieter than typical off-road tyres. Internal belting maintains the tyre's shape at high speeds for a larger contact patch, more grip, and responsive handling
High-Torque, Metal-Geared Steering Servo
With over 46kg-cm (650oz-in) of torque and full steel gears, the High-Torque Maxx Servo gives the XRT complete steering authority. The servo case features an anodised aluminium centre section with cooling fins and uses ball bearings for increased precision, ensuring responsive steering even with the wide Gravix tyres
Unique ProGraphix® Body with Internal Frame
The XRT features a unique body and graphics to set it apart. For added protection during rollovers, it includes tough body reinforcements and a rigid internal frame. This extra support helps keep the body looking fresh for longer, even after intense bashing sessions
