The Traxxas Stampede VXL Brushless RTR with 2.4GHz Radio is perhaps the world's most extreme rc monster truck, capable of 65+ mph! This model is tricked out with top of the line parts throughout, including a Velineon brushless motor system and digital Traxxas 2070 steering servo. It also features waterproof electronics and the Traxxas LINK 2.4GHz radio. Electronic speed control is provided by the VXL-3s ESC that provides sport (forward/brake/reverse), race (forward/brake), and training (50% forward/brake/50% reverse) modes. The chassis is a fiber-composite monocoque design with gray components to give it a new look, similar to the Traxxas Stampede Monster Truck with XL-5 ESC. The truck is available in red, blue, black, and gunmetal colors.
Since it is a Traxxas, you know it is tough and durable. Traxxas also maintains a supply of spare parts, such as tires, to keep your Traxxas Stampede VXL Brushless truck running.
The package includes a 7-cell NiMH battery and charger as well, so the product is provided fully ready-to-run. The standard battery is 3000mAh and the wall charger takes 8.5 hrs to charge.
