Traxxas Telluride 4×4 – Ready to Explore

Traxxas Telluride 4x4 - Ready to Explore
Traxxas Telluride 4×4 – Ready to Explore

Traxxas has combined the fun of 4×4 with the excitement of trail driving to create the Telluride, a 4WD adventure rig that has been given the designation: Ready to Explore. This truck has been engineered to tackle almost any off-road adventure you can think of complete with 4-wheel drive traction, XL-5 ESC and the powerful Titan 550 motor. To top it all off, the complete package is waterproof, allowing you to keep the fun going through water crossings, mud and even snow!

Chassis Optimized for Versatility and Fun
The Traxxas Telluride 4X4 is built on the proven performance of the advanced shaft-driven 4WD system and innovative modular design of the award-winning Slash 4X4. The chassis fully integrates the electronics and battery compartment for an efficient and compact layout, and maintains the high center ground clearance that gives the Telluride 4X4 its high-riding look. The extra clearance drastically increases the off-road versatility allowing you to tackle extreme terrain and bigger obstacles.

Ultra Efficient Shaft-Driven 4WD
The Telluride 4X4 uses just three gear meshes to drive all four wheels, eliminating the need for a multi-gear transmission. The highly efficient drivetrain spins effortlessly on rubber-sealed ball bearings, and is integrated seamlessly into the unique chassis for optimum performance and easy maintenance. There are no dogbones to wear, no drive cups to wobble. A single center driveshaft connects the front and rear drive assemblies for maximum power transfer. The shaft runs perfectly straight and true and offers superior durability. A clear cover shows off the center driveshaft while keeping dirt and debris away from the shaft.

Modular Simplicity
Old designs made servicing of 4-wheel drive vehicles cumbersome and time-consuming. Traxxas has a better way. Modular design allows the entire front section to be removed with just five screws, and the rear assembly with just four screws. In less than a minute using a power screwdriver, you have full access for easy service and adjustment.

Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz Ready-To-Drive Radio System
Telluride 4X4 is equipped with the new TQ 2.4GHz radio system. The TQ’s modern design features an internal antenna for a sleek look, and an ergonomic grip for all-day driving comfort. 2.4GHz technology means there’s no need to worry about frequency conflicts, no matter how many other drivers you’re racing with. Just switch on and drive — the TQ automatically locates and locks onto an open frequency.

Sealed Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Only Traxxas lets you experience 4WD excitement year-round, no matter what Mother Nature has to offer. Water, mud, and snow don’t slow down the Telluride 4X4; its electronic speed control, receiver box, and high-torque digital steering servo are all waterproof for worry-free fun in wet conditions that send other trucks back to the workbench. Drive the Telluride 4X4 where you want, when you want—the only limit is your imagination.

To harness the torque of the Titan 12-turn motor, Traxxas bolted in the high-performance, waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control. With ultra-smooth, high-frequency operation and high-power handing capability, the XL-5 delivers trail-climbing torque. EZ-Set® one-button setup makes it easy to adjust or change profiles. Traxxas’ exclusive Training Mode™ profile cuts total power output in half and leaves the brakes at full strength. It’s the first controller of its kind that has a 50% power profile. Training Mode is designed for young or first time drivers that want to learn the ropes before unleashing the full power of the mighty Titan 12T motor. This makes the Telluride 4X4 perfect for almost any age driver or skill level.

The quest for ultimate speed began with the battery connector. As today’s batteries store more and more energy inside their cells, traditional battery connectors became a roadblock, unable to deliver all the energy the battery is capable of outputting. The Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for unrestricted current flow.

The Telluride 4X4 comes fully loaded with innovative performance options like a fiber-composite chassis designed for exceptional rigidity and enormous ground clearance. Battery removal is made easy by the quick-release battery hold down latch. Just take the Telluride 4X4 out of the box, charge up a battery, and go have fun! If you’re looking for an extreme terrain truck that is perfect for bashing or rock-climbing thrills, look no further. Telluride 4X4 is all you need. Fresh Telluride 4X4 graphics are available in red, blue, orange, or green. Traxxas ProGraphix® bodies are known for their stunning looks and long-lasting durability, and they are exclusively found on Traxxas vehicles.
