Cush Drive Absorption System
The innovative Cush Drive system uses a special part equipped with elastomeric bushings to absorb the motor's shock. The system replaces a friction clutch and allows for a more efficient and reliable drive without complex adjustments.
Differentials
To distribute the power of the 4x4 drive, the model is equipped with front, center, and rear differentials. The center differential uses very dense 20M cSt oil to utilize full power without slippage during rapid acceleration. The axle differentials are fitted with four metal gears for durability and long life.
Center Driveshaft
The transfer of power between the axles is done by an aluminum center driveshaft with splines. An innovative seal keeps dust and dirt out of the center tunnel.
Steel Half-Shafts
Robust steel drive shafts with splined differential outputs safely transfer full engine power to the wheels. Thanks to the parallel construction of the CV joints, the shafts have smooth operation in every suspension position.
Bearing Hubs
The new high-strength hubs contain large encapsulated ball bearings and are a compatible upgrade for the X-Maxx model. (#7832, #7836, #7852)
XRT Wheels
Large racing discs have a matte black finish, a large 24mm hex (spline) and a 17mm aluminum locking nut for secure attachment to the hub. Gravix tires are designed for excellent performance on both track and off-road. The strong central frame reduces bulging at high speeds.

Accessories for Regular Operation
For the regular operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need screw glue, quality tire glue, shock silicone oil, and a set of screwdrivers. From our range, we recommend an affordable tool set for cars.
Screw glue is dripped onto the thread or screw head to fix the screw, preventing it from loosening. Vibrations caused by driving do not allow the screw joint to loosen. Screw glue has a special composition that allows for easy loosening of the screw joint with an appropriate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use regular super glue, as a screw glued this way may be impossible to loosen at all!
Tire glue is used to glue tires to the wheel rim. It is always necessary for the tire to be firmly glued to the wheel rim around the entire circumference! If the tire is not glued around the entire circumference, it may tear.
