Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer 4WD Brushless RTR RC Truck w/LED Lights Factory-Installed Rigid

This is the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer 4WD Brushless Electric Ready-to-Race RC Truck with Factory-Installed LED Lights, Velineon VXL-6s Brushless Power System, TQi 2.4GHz radio system, and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM).

High-Voltage LED Lights
Flood the desert with high-intensity light from the rugged waterproof LED lighting system. A high-voltage amplifier powers 204 individual LEDs for brilliant light while tightly regulating the voltage to eliminate flickering and dimming. The rear light bar features class lights and smart brake lights that work when brakes are applied in either direction.

We recommend adding the #6511 Bluetooth Wireless Module for the ability to control the lights and settings remotely, plus get access to the built-in telemetry functions of the VXL-6s ESC!

Pro-Scale Performance
Pro-Scale is a new Traxxas innovation that captures true-scale realism and combines it with extreme 6s LiPo power and 50+ mph performance. The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer faithfully captures the look and feel of Trophy Trucks and Unlimited Trick Trucks as they charge hard across the desert at full speed

Driving Realism
The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer is engineered on an authentic, true to scale 4-wheel drive desert race truck chassis. The 4-link solid rear axle design provides huge suspension travel with authentic driving dynamics. From the cantilever sway bars to the 8 GTR shocks, Traxxas has accurately reproduced a true unlimited desert race chassis in both form and function.

6s Extreme Power
The 50+ mph Unlimited Desert Racer delivers its pro-level performance with brutal 6s power. The VXL-6s ESC combines massive power handling with high-tech telemetry features. An ultra-tough drivetrain harnesses the extreme power to make it easy to control and fun to drive.
