Proven Traxxas Innovation


No detail was overlooked in our mission to bring all the capability, durability, and excitement of Traxxas' award-winning models to 1/16 scale for fast, affordable R/C fun. The E-Revo VXL is built on the race-winning, track-proven innovation of the Revo and E-Revo models. The standard-bearer of design excellence, the Revo's F1-inspired, rocker-actuated suspension has been expertly adapted to 1/16 scale with all its functionality and performance intact, right down to the oil-filled, threaded-body GTR shocks. This superior technology provides capability, performance, and tuning functions at the absolute pinnacle of truck design. The suspension and electronics are fully integrated into the semi-monocoque chassis design that stunned the world when it debuted with the E-Revo. Intricately molded as a single piece, the chassis balances strength and weight, function and aesthetics, convenience and performance to far surpass the standards of the "mini" category. In 1/16 scale, it is an even more impressive achievement of packaging and performance optimization that could only come from Traxxas, The Fastest Name In Radio Control.

Optimized for All-Terrain Excitement

The 1/16 Summit VXL is built on proven innovation of the 1/16 E-Revo VXL and 1/16 Slash VXL 4WD models and dialed in with a multi-terrain setup for exceptional versatility and fun. The unique inboard suspension is equipped with long-travel rockers for maximum ground clearance and traction in rough terrain. Long-wheelbase rear suspension arms put an extra 10mm between the axles for superior stability. New Geode 2.2 chrome rims hold Canyon AT tires with the same aggressive tread pattern as the big Summit to deliver tenacious off-road traction.

Unbeatable Speed and Performance

No mini model can match 1/16 Summits class-leading speed and tire-spinning torque. Right out of the box, the potent Velineon Brushless Power System and included Power Cell NiMH battery push Summit past 25mph to outrun any mini (and many 1/10 scale RTR trucks). Install a second Power Cell battery to unleash the Velineon Brushless Power System's full fury, and Summit VXL jumps to over 40mphall with proven-safe NiMH packs. Only Traxxas makes it so easy and affordable to experience this level of high speed, trail-taming torque, and wheelie-popping power.

Velineon Brushless Power

Built specifically for Traxxas 1/16 scale models, the VXL-3m speed control and Velineon 380 motor represent the latest in brushless technology. Fully LiPo compatible with low-voltage detection for 2S and 3S packs and rated for 6-12 NiMH cells, this potent, powerful combo gives Summit VXL precise throttle control and blistering top speed. Patent-pending Training Mode lets new drivers hone their skills at 50% throttle. When theyre ready, full power and 40+mph is unleashed with a touch of the EZ-Set button. Big speed requires big horsepower, so Summit VXL is equipped with the largest motor in the "mini" category. The Velineon 380 is built to the same no-compromise specs as the Velineon 3500 found in Traxxas' 70+mph 1/10 scale VXL models. High-speed ball bearings. Sintered rotor. Neodymium magnets. Gold plated 3.5mm connectors. It all adds up to 50,000 rpm of pure power for unbeatable torque, power, and speed!

Waterproof Electronics For Go-Anywhere R/C Adventure

Summit VXL looks ready for anything because it is ready for anything! Fully waterproof electronics to keep the fun rolling through water, mud and snow while lesser trucks stay on the bench. The patent-pending sealed receiver box houses Traxxas' new 2.4GHz Traxxas Link receiver and can accept aftermarket receivers as well, without compromising the Summit VXLs waterproof properties. The new VXL-3m electronic speed control and high-torque, digital micro servo are sealed against the elements giving you the freedom to go places other cars wouldn't dare to venture.

100% Ready-To-Drive

The 1/16 Summit VXL is fully assembled with TQ 2.4GHz radio system, Velineon brushless power system, painted and decaled body, pre-glued tires, and detailed instructions. A Traxxas Power Cell NiMH battery and charger are also included, making the Summit VXL truly Ready-To-Race. Designed specifically for the high-power needs of the Velineon brushless system, the potent Power Cell pack features heavy-duty construction, 16-gauge wires and Traxxas' exclusive High-Current Connector for efficient power transfer, run after run.

Pivot Ball Suspension
1/16 Summit VXL features pivot-ball suspension for smooth suspension articulation and easy adjustment. Rubber-sealed ball bearings ward off dirt and debris as they increase precision and reduce friction, and the oversized 8x12mm inboard bearings maximize durability. For extra security, the heavy-duty axle carriers are designed so the universal-joint axles' crosspins are captured by the inner bearingsanother example of Traxxas' attention to every detail.

Universal-Joint Driveshafts

Revo-Spec Suspension
A defining feature of the Summit, expertly executed in 1/16 scalethe unique Revo-Spec suspension places the shocks inboard on the chassis, away from dirt and debris, and amplifies the shocks travel for incredible off-road capability without the weight of extra-long shocks. Installed Long-Travel rockers provide linear travel; optional Progressive rockers are available to tune the Summit VXL with damping and spring rates that increase as the suspension is compressed.

Summit VXL is equipped with Long Travel rockers to deliver over 50mm of suspension articulation for bump and jump handling capability far beyond that of any mini truck.
