introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Traxxas TRX-4 with the 1979 Ford®
F-150 ® Ranger XLT Body Kit. This officially licensed model gets the
full Traxxas treatment with unsurpassed realism, including molded
grille, side mirrors, door handles, and bumpers. A factory-installed
long arm lift kit raises the F-150 over an inch for unmatched
all-terrain ground clearance. Extra-long aluminum GTS shocks
with matched suspension links maintain the TRX-4's optimized
suspension and steering geometry. Oversized 2.2" Canyon Trail
tires mounted to 5-slot mag wheels further increase the F-150's
clearance. Explore extreme mud bogs, cross deeper streams, and
clear bigger obstacles with the TRX-4 High Trail Edition F-150!
