stretch Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The all-new Hoss 4X4 VXL unleashes extreme monster truck fun with the power and speed only Traxxas can deliver. Grab a fistful of throttle and the huge Velineon 540XL motor delivers a massive torque punch to wheelie on command, and then keeps pouring on the thrust for a 60+ MPH top speed. The Torque Biasing Center Drive and heavy-duty shaft-driven 4WD system transfers maximum power to the ultra-aggressive Sledgehammer™ tires. It’s built to absolutely shred any terrain, from dirt and sand to mud and snow. Pitch Hoss hard and fast into a turn and Traxxas Stability Management goes to work behind the scenes to help keep you solidly on track while you’re blazing new trails. Non-stop fun and performance always come first, so Hoss stays true to the Traxxas heritage of rugged strength and durability which is engineered into every component. Drive harder, go faster, hang tougher— Nothing stops the Hoss! View full news article 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertberr Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I really like the look of this, and if they ever do a kit version of it like they have Stampede/Slash, to avoid the Velineon system and the TSM, then I may well have to break my self imposed ban on Traxxas products.

Tug Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Plastic shafts! Still! And diffs that look rather E-Maxx and Revo parts bin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Is it an old man's eyesight or does the COG move when in flight? I saw something twice in the video that looks like it or it could be sharp editing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I wish traxxas would just drop the plastic battery mount and use lipo straps i don't understand the reluctance I know i wish my traxxas stuff used TRX straps instead of the silly plastic limiting bars. I wonder if they do it to ensure their batteries fit best lol. Also think it should be called stampede 2.0. Get ready for the slash 2.0 to follow.

I actually like the plastic bar much better than annoying straps 😂. Cant see myself buying one mind as no doubt if like me and others out there you have a slash you could just upgrade it to this easy enough dare say there be some breakers out there soon 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy_uk Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This looks like the Rustler 4X4 turned into a monster truck. Not a bad thing. I have to agree on the battery clip though, I've had more than one battery fly out with that system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the torque biasing unit is a centre diff with super heavy oil in. Just given the Traxxas branding magic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
