Description
Extreme Mini Crawler with 3S Brushless Performance
The Traxxas® TXC-4M™ Extreme Crawler 1/18 4WD RTR Brushless Rock Crawler brings a purpose-built approach to extreme-scale crawling, combining a lightweight monocoque chassis with a low-mounted electronics layout and substantial ground clearance. Its 3S brushless power system works with a high-reduction driveline to provide precise throttle control and strong torque at very low crawling speeds. Portal axles, competition-grade steering, and high-grip Stone Claw™ tires mounted on licensed beadlock 1.3-inch Method Race Wheels® give the TXC-4M the hardware to tackle demanding terrain while maintaining stability and traction. The complete ready-to-run package also includes a 3S LiPo battery, USB-powered iD® charger, and TQ™ 2.4 GHz radio system.
About the TXC-4M Extreme Crawler
Rigid Monocoque Chassis
The TXC-4M uses a single-piece composite monocoque chassis designed to provide more torsional rigidity than a conventional ladder frame while reducing weight. The battery and ESC are positioned low in the chassis on opposite sides to improve weight distribution, while integrated rock-light mounting and wire routing keep the electronics installation organized. Additionally, its lay-down shock design and triangulated four-link suspension use high-clearance lower links to maintain clearance.
3S Brushless Power System
A 3350kV brushless outrunner motor paired with a 3S brushless ESC featuring Field Oriented Control provides precise throttle response and low-speed control. The ESC offers three drive profiles to suit different types of driving, including Sport Mode, Trail Mode with a trail-tuned drag brake, and Crawl Mode with instant reverse and 100% hill-holding brake. The included 11.1-volt 3S LiPo battery supplies the power needed for the high-reduction driveline, allowing extremely slow crawling speeds while retaining strong torque for technical terrain.
Portal Axles & Competition-Grade Steering
Portal axles raise the TXC-4M at the wheels to increase clearance beneath the center pumpkins while moving gear reduction away from the differentials to reduce torque twist. The full-time shaft-driven 4WD system uses locked axles with steel-spool gears, steel axle shafts and U-joints, a 25% overdrive front axle, heavy-duty CV center driveshafts, and an all-metal single-speed transmission. For maneuverability, the water-resistant 2265 metal-gear steering servo provides 75oz-in of torque and a 60° steering angle, while high-clearance drag and suspension links help prevent the chassis from catching on obstacles. Oil-filled aluminum GTM Pro shocks provide smooth, controlled damping, and steel front portal weights add low-mounted mass for improved wheel contact and rollover resistance.

Revolutionary By Design
The Traxxas 1/18 scale TXC-4M™ Extreme Crawler revolutionizes RC crawling with its clean-sheet approach. An all-new monocoque chassis allowed Traxxas engineers to position the electronics and suspension for optimal weight distribution and geometry. The result is a radical new design with huge forward weight bias and massive ground clearance. Outfitted with only the best parts, TXC-4M delivers the competition-grade performance and extreme fun that could only come from Traxxas.
3s Brushless Power
An extreme crawler needs an extreme power system and TXC-4M delivers with 11.1 volts of brushless 3s LiPo power. 3s power allows TXC-4M to run a high-reduction driveline for ultra-precise throttle control and exceptional torque with crawling speeds so low the rig appears motionless.
Rigid Monocoque Chassis
TXC-4M is purpose-built to deliver the ultimate crawling experience, due in part to its all-new chassis. TXC-4M’s monocoque chassis is both significantly lighter and more rigid than a traditional ladder frame. With no chassis flex, TXC-4M tracks straight and true even under extreme articulation.
Competition-Grade Steering
TXC-4M delivers competition-grade steering performance with an exceptional 60° steering angle, tight turning radius, and laterally mounted 2265 metal-gear servo with 75 oz-in of torque. High-clearance steering and drag links allow TXC-4M to tackle the toughest lines without getting hung up on the rocks.
Portal Axles
Portal axles lift TXC-4M at the wheels, giving it more ground clearance under the center pumpkins. Portal axles also limit torque twist by transferring gear reduction to the wheels and away from the differentials. With less torque twist, TXC-4M is more stable and less likely to twist itself off the rocks.
Stone Claw Tires
Huge 1.3” x 2.8” Stone Claw™ beadlock tires get TXC-4M up and over obstacles easily with an aggressive stepped-block tread design that maximizes biting edges. Molded in soft-compound rubber, Stone Claw tires grab onto rocks with unrivaled traction, outperforming even the best aftermarket tires.
3s Battery and Charger Included
TXC-4M includes a powerful 3-cell LiPo battery and fast USB charger. The compact battery puts out 11.1 volts of power for nearly limitless rock-climbing torque and high-rpm trail driving. The iD™ equipped charger balances the battery perfectly every time with no complicated settings to memorize.
