Traxxas have introduced their new Hoss 4×4 VLX ready-to-run monster truck that closes the gap between the Rustler 4×4 and the Maxx.

The Torque Biasing Center Drive and heavy-duty shaft-driven 4WD system transfers maximum power to the ultra-aggressive Sledgehammer tyres. The truck is built to absolutely shred any terrain, from dirt and sand to mud and snow thanks to a long-travel suspension, tub chassis construction, and water-proof electronic gear. Body reinforcements support the body from the inside while outer reinforcements enhance the aggressive look. The truck includes the TQi 2.4GHz radio system that supports Traxxas Link, allowing to adjust a range of setting on the fly and view real-time telemetry with optional accessories.
