TRAXXAS X-MAXX 8S ESC BELTED - BLUE
![]()
Unrelenting 4X4 power, mammoth size, and award-winning innovation make X-Maxx the ultimate monster truck. With 30+ volts of extreme 8s power, X-Maxx defies physics, unleashing jaw-dropping acceleration and 50+ mph speed. Belted Sledgehammer® tires conquer the most extreme terrain while providing unrivaled high-speed stability. Built to take brutal punishment in stride, X-Maxx is the definition of Traxxas Tough.
X-Maxx puts the power to the ground through tough all-steel drivetrain gears, the revolutionary Cush Drive system, and our strongest driveshafts ever. The Torque-Biasing Center Drive improves driveline durability and drives larger module ring and pinion gears on the toughest differentials we have ever produced.
