This is the Traxxas 1/16 Scale Summit VXL 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck, with an included TQ 2.4GHz Radio System, 6-Cell 7.2V NiMH Battery and DC Battery Charger. This kit now uses the updated Traxxas iD connectors.
CHARGER NOTE: The included charger requires a cigarette lighter socket found in full size vehicles to charge. If this is not your preference, Traxxas offers an adapter allowing you to charge from a standard home AC electrical socket (TRA2976).
Barely as tall as a single tire on the 1/10 scale Summit, the 1/16 Summit VXL will make you forget all about its super convenient and fun size while its massive suspension travel, screaming brushless horsepower, and 4-wheel drive traction tackle impossible terrain and turn "no way" into "no problem." Traxxas engineers have managed to pack all the big Summit's go-anywhere versatility into a smaller machine that knows no boundaries. Waterproof? Check. Velineon Brushless power system? Of course! Traxxas tough durability? You bet.
Traxxas engineers built this one to run hard and fast with its extreme duty driveshafts, rugged ExoCage body, beefed up suspension damping, and scale Canyon AT tires. Add an extra battery and a Traxxas speed connector (sold separately) and top speed climbs to 40+mph. The 1/16 Summit's just-right size lets you enjoy hours of off-road fun anywhere, anytime!
