The Traxxas TRX-4 Land Rover Defender delivers innovation, versatility, and capability to match its incredible scale looks. This remote-controlled vehicle is engineered for extreme off-road adventures. Featuring portal axles for maximum ground clearance, remote-locking front and rear differentials, and a high/low range transmission, the TRX-4 Defender is designed to tackle challenging terrains with ease. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining your TRX-4 Defender to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Your Traxxas TRX-4 Defender package includes the following components:
Note: Battery and charger are sold separately unless specified on the packaging.
The TRX-4 Defender features a two-speed transmission that can be shifted remotely from your transmitter. Use the designated switch (typically a 2-position switch) to toggle between high and low gears.
The front and rear differentials can be locked independently or together using the auxiliary switches on your transmitter. Locking differentials provide maximum traction by ensuring both wheels on an axle receive equal power, which is crucial for extreme off-road conditions.
