Traxxas – Hoss 4X4 VXL – Orange/Purple 1/10 Scale 4WD Brushless

The all-new Hoss 4X4 VXL unleashes extreme monster truck fun with the speed and style only Traxxas can deliver. Grab a fistful of throttle and the Velineon 540XL motor delivers massive torque to wheelie on command and hold the front end high as long as you dare. Pitch the Hoss into a turn and slide through sideways in a cloud of dirt—all four tires dig in and drive hard no matter how rough the terrain, and the Traxxas Stability Management system keeps you in control. The rugged, reinforced pickup body covers proven performance tech, with Velineon brushless horsepower and heavy-duty shaft-driven 4WD. The Hoss delivers unmatched versatility as the aggressive Sledgehammer™ tires blast through dirt, sand, mud, and snow. Drive harder, go faster, hang tougher—legendary Traxxas durability is engineered into every component. Nothing stops the Hoss!

Model 90076-4: Hoss 4X4 VXL: 1/10 Scale 4X4 Monster Truck, fully-assembled, waterproof electronics, Ready-To-Race®, with TQi™ 2.4GHz 2-channel radio system, Traxxas Stability Management®, VXL-3s speed control, 540XL brushless motor, and clipless painted ProGraphix® body. Requires: battery and charger.

540XL TORQUE

For those who believe “there’s no replacement for displacement,” Traxxas has built a monster truck for you. The new Hoss 4X4 VXL packs the same Velineon 540XL brushless motor found in the Maxx extreme monster truck. It’s the largest motor we’ve ever offered in a truck this size. The Velineon VXL-3s speed control rolls out the power smoothly utilizing large 6.5 mm connectors and an integrated cooling fan for fast, reliable fun.

EXTREME SLEDGEHAMMER GRIP

The Hoss VXL 4X4 relies on huge Sledgehammer tires to put its massive torque to the ground. The 5.3-inch tall Sledgehammers lift the Hoss skyward for superior ground clearance and a menacing stance. The open-block tread design clears away mud and debris for unrivaled traction on loose surfaces. Sledgehammer tires come pre-glued with performance foam inserts and they’re TSM-rated for speeds of 60mph and beyond!

ROCK-SOLID DRIVETRAIN

A conventional 4-wheel drive system may work for your average RC truck, but the average isn’t in the Traxxas vocabulary. We pored over every inch of the Hoss’ drivetrain, strengthening critical areas to handle the 540XL’s immense power. A Torque-Biasing Center Drive outfitted with a steel spur gear replaces a traditional slipper clutch along with a tough aluminum center driveshaft and beefed-up extreme-duty axles. The resulting Hoss drivetrain is a model of both efficiency and brute strength.

INNOVATION

Traxxas uses technology and innovation to deliver a fun and exciting RC experience with more power, speed, and convenience than you ever thought possible.

SELF-RIGHTING

Hoss 4X4 VXL uses Traxxas’ patented Self-Righting feature to keep the fun going, even when you get carried away with the wheelies or land upside down. Simply press a button on the TQi™ transmitter and, in most circumstances,* Hoss 4X4 VXL will be back on its wheels in just seconds and ready for more action! *3s LiPo battery required.

CLIPLESS BODY

The Hoss 4X4 VXL’s rugged and innovative clipless body latching system delivers secure mounting and easy one-handed removal. Battery changes are fast and there are no body clips to keep up with. The internal body cage with an integrated roof skid and tailgate protector strengthens the body for extra-long life.

BODY REINFORCEMENTS

A tough internal cage structure supports the body, and outer reinforcements enhance the aggressive look. Roof and tailgate skids protect against wear-through from skidding, while reinforcements at the mounts prevent tear-through.

DETAILS

Our engineers evaluated every detail on the Hoss 4X4 VXL in order to build a truck strong enough to withstand the most punishing drivers on the toughest terrain.

Reinforced Front and Rear Bumpers

Tough reinforced bumpers protect the chassis against impacts. The specially designed front bumper provides a high approach angle that allows the Hoss to climb up and over obstacles with ease. The rear bumper mounts a perfectly positioned wheelie bar to help prevent the Hoss 4X4 VXL from back-flipping under its explosive power.
