The single-point steering system with the 2056 high-torque waterproof servo ensures precise control even at speed, whilst the Terra-Groove 2.2-inch tyres fitted to bright chrome dual-profile dish wheels provide excellent grip and visual impact. The 6519 3-channel micro receiver integrates seamlessly with the TQ 2.4 GHz transmitter for dependable control range and stability.

The Bigfoot HD carries a skill level rating of 1, indicating it is designed for beginners and newcomers to the RC hobby. It arrives fully assembled and ready to race straight out of the box, with simple two-channel proportional controls via the TQ transmitter. The waterproof electronics provide confidence for learning in various conditions, and the durable Extreme HD components mean you can enjoy aggressive bashing without constant repairs or adjustments. Beginners will appreciate the straightforward setup, reliable performance, and the iconic Bigfoot styling that makes driving it genuinely fun.
- What battery does the Traxxas Bigfoot HD need? — The truck includes a Traxxas 7-cell NiMH battery pack with 8.4 volts and 3000 mAh capacity, equipped with Traxxas iD® technology. This battery is optimised for the included XL-5 speed control and Titan 550 motor, delivering the truck's 30+ mph top speed. The battery tray measures 164 mm x 46 mm x 26 mm. For ultimate performance upgrades, the truck is compatible with 2-cell and 3-cell LiPo batteries, though the standard NiMH battery provides excellent value and runtime. The included 4-amp USB-C charger with Traxxas iD technology automatically recognises and optimally charges the NiMH battery, though optional 45-watt and 100-watt power adapters are available for faster charging.
- How fast does the Bigfoot HD go? — The Traxxas Bigfoot HD achieves a top speed of 30+ mph, powered by the Titan® 12-turn 550 brushed motor and the XL-5™ waterproof electronic speed control. This speed is impressive for a 2WD truck and provides genuine thrills whether you're racing against friends or simply enjoying high-speed outdoor bashing. The 2.72 internal gear ratio with 12.34 final drive balances acceleration and top speed perfectly for typical terrain.
- Is the Bigfoot HD waterproof? — Yes, the Bigfoot HD features waterproof electronics throughout, including the XL-5 electronic speed control, the 2056 servo, and all receivers and wiring. This waterproof construction allows confident driving through rain, puddles, wet grass, and water crossings. However, whilst the electronics are waterproof-rated, it is always good practice to rinse the truck with fresh water after water play and allow it to dry completely before storage. This extends the lifespan of all components and ensures consistent performance season after season.

The clipless body mounting system is convenient for fast battery swaps, and the waterproof electronics ensure all-weather capability. Compared to standard monster trucks, the Bigfoot HD offers iconic styling, beefed-up components from the factory, and a complete ready-to-run package with battery and charger included, making it an excellent all-in-one solution for beginners and experienced bashers alike.
- Can I upgrade the motor or electronics on the Bigfoot HD? — Yes, the Bigfoot HD is upgrade-friendly. The truck features a brushless-ready Magnum 272™ metal gear transmission, meaning you can install a brushless motor in the future if desired for increased power and efficiency. The XL-5 speed control is designed to work with both brushed and brushless motors within its specifications. Traxxas iD battery technology is compatible with various battery options, including 2S and 3S LiPo packs for performance upgrades. However, the truck performs excellently in its standard configuration, and most users will enjoy years of fun without modifications.
- How long does the battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on driving style, terrain, and conditions. The included 3000 mAh 7-cell NiMH battery typically provides 20-30 minutes of continuous running time, though this can vary. For extended bashing sessions, many owners purchase a second battery pack to enjoy uninterrupted driving throughout the day. The fast 4-amp USB-C charger allows quick recharges between runs, getting you back into action rapidly.
- Does the Bigfoot HD come with a charger? — Yes, the truck includes a 4-amp USB-C fast charger with Traxxas iD® technology. This charger automatically recognises the included NiMH battery and optimises charge settings, eliminating guesswork. The charger is rated at 45+ watts and can charge from most standard USB power adapters, making it convenient for use at home, the office, or on the go.

- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
