introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Traxxas TRX-4M™ with the Chevrolet
K10 Body. This officially licensed model gets the full Traxxas treatment
with unsurpassed realism, including molded front grill, door handles,
and side mirrors. The design of the TRX-4M offers a new way to
experience all the fun, adventure, and scale realism of the TRX-4 in
a 1/18 platform. Oil-filled shocks control body motion and provide
smooth suspension travel over any terrain. Steel frame rails and a
smooth running drivetrain give it true outdoor capability over rocks
and through grass and streams. The tight turning radius and precise
throttle control give it fantastic indoor maneuverability. Your new RC
model offers the highest level of innovation, performance, and quality
that is the hallmark of all Traxxas vehicles.
