Worth knowing

Launched in 1999, the T-Maxx was the truck that made ready-to-run nitro monster trucks a mainstream hobby category — previously, nitro power in RC typically required significant assembly/tuning expertise. Its revolutionary 2-speed transmission paired with the TRX-Pro.15 engine delivered out-of-the-box performance that had usually required custom builds. The T-Maxx lineage (3.3, 4907x-series) remains one of Traxxas's longest-running and most recognized nameplates.
