Key Features
- Velineon VXL-3s Brushless Power System — This is the heart of Traxxas' fastest and most powerful 1/10 scale vehicles, now installed in a compact platform for the first time ever. The extreme 11.1-volt powerplant delivers astonishing acceleration and wheel-standing power at any rpm, giving you consistent, maintenance-free performance that brushed motors simply cannot match.
- 55+ mph Top Speed — With an optional 3s LiPo battery upgrade, the Mini XRT achieves unprecedented 55+ mph performance in this compact size class. The included 2s LiPo battery delivers 40+ mph, providing genuine high-speed capability straight out of the box without additional investment.
- 1/10 Scale 4WD Driveline — Bold engineering combines 3s brushless power with proven driveline components from Traxxas' toughest 1/10 scale 4x4 trucks. Front, centre, and rear steel-gear differentials, combined with 32-pitch gearing and HD driveshafts, far exceed strength requirements and deliver exceptional durability for serious bashers and racers alike.
- Maxx Chassis Technology — The revolutionary chassis design pioneered in Mini Maxx transforms full-scale performance and durability into a supremely compact platform. The rigid, unified structure is built Maxx tough, delivering the structural integrity needed for high-speed running without the bulk of larger vehicles.
- WideMaxx Suspension System — Proven suspension design delivers sure-footed grip and laser-focused handling with long-travel damping that maintains composure over rough terrain. The low, ultra-wide stance provides supreme confidence and control, delivering hard cornering performance and maximum stability at speed across mixed surfaces.
- TQi 2.4 GHz Radio System with TSM — High-output, 2-channel radio system provides reliable control with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), giving you confident handling even when pushing limits. The 2.4 GHz frequency eliminates interference and works seamlessly across multiple vehicles.
- High-Performance Centre Differential — Dedicated centre differential enhances handling precision, allowing independent front and rear axle speeds for improved cornering and grip through technical terrain.
- High-Torque Metal-Gear 2075X Servo — Waterproof high-torque servo delivers responsive, precise steering control without hesitation, essential for maintaining directional control during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering.
- Clipless Body Retention System — Quick-change body design lets you swap bodies without tools, meaning faster maintenance, body changes, and styling updates. Perfect for customisation and keeping your RC truck looking fresh.
- Complete RTR Package — Everything you need to run is included: 3500 mAh 2-cell LiPo battery, 2-amp USB-C charger, TQi radio system, and quality maintenance tools. Just add four AA batteries to the transmitter and you're ready to drive.
Technical Performance
The Mini XRT combines cutting-edge engineering with proven Traxxas reliability to deliver exceptional performance in a compact 1/10 scale platform. At the core is the Velineon 3500 brushless motor (3500 KV) paired with the VXL-3s brushless ESC — a direct-drive system with centre differential that delivers a 7.36:1 overall drive ratio, optimised for acceleration and top-speed performance. The brushless system eliminates maintenance requirements associated with brushed motors whilst providing consistent power delivery and remarkable efficiency across entire battery discharge cycles.
With the included 2-cell 3500 mAh LiPo battery, you'll achieve 40+ mph straight out of the box; upgrading to a 3s battery (Traxxas 2824X, sold separately) unlocks the full 55+ mph potential of this vehicle. The 2-amp USB-C charger is included in the box and represents modern charging convenience — significantly faster than older charging methods. The VXL-3s ESC features electronic braking, low-voltage cutoff protection, and waterproof construction rated for light water crossings and wet conditions, making this RC truck genuinely versatile across various environments.
The chassis geometry reflects Traxxas' race-proven engineering: the 376mm length, 220mm wheelbase, and perfectly balanced track width of 279mm front and rear create a stable platform that maintains composure through aggressive driving. Ground clearance of 27mm accommodates mixed terrain including grass, dirt, and light obstacles. Weighing just 1.81 kg, the Mini XRT remains light enough for rapid acceleration and responsive handling whilst heavy enough to maintain stability during high-speed running. The suspension features long-travel, precision-tuned damping that absorbs impacts whilst maintaining directional stability, critical for reliability during extended bashings. Construction uses composite modular tub chassis with waterproof electronics — your investment is protected against splash and brief water contact, though not submersion.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Traxxas Mini XRT VXL-3S suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. This is a skill level 1 ready-to-run vehicle that arrives fully assembled and ready to drive. Beginners will find the TQi radio system intuitive and responsive, whilst the TSM stability management system helps prevent loss of control during learning phases. The included 2s battery provides manageable 40+ mph performance for building confidence before upgrading to 3s power. However, this is still a high-performance vehicle with genuine speed, so younger drivers should be supervised and appropriate safety precautions taken.
- What battery does the Mini XRT VXL-3S need? — The vehicle comes with a 2-cell (2s) 3500 mAh LiPo battery and 2-amp USB-C charger in the box. This delivers 40+ mph straight out of the box. For the advertised 55+ mph top speed, you'll need to purchase a 3-cell (3s) LiPo battery separately — the Traxxas 2824X is the recommended upgrade. The VXL-3s ESC is fully compatible with both 2s and 3s battery configurations.
- How long does the battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends on driving style and terrain. Aggressive racing and high-speed running will reduce runtime compared to cruising speeds. The included 3500 mAh battery is designed for approximately 15-20 minutes of mixed driving, though this varies considerably based on usage patterns.
- What makes this different from other compact 1/10 RC trucks? — The Mini XRT is unique because it combines Traxxas' proven Maxx chassis technology with the VXL-3s brushless system — previously only available in full-size 1/10 vehicles. This means you're getting genuine 55+ mph performance capability in a backpack-portable size. The WideMaxx suspension, high-performance centre differential, and steel-gear driveline components exceed durability requirements for this size class. Many competitors offer slower, less durable alternatives in similar compact formats.
- Is this truck waterproof? — The electronics are waterproof rated for light water contact and wet conditions, including grass and muddy terrain. However, this is not a fully submersible vehicle — avoid deep water crossings and submersion. The waterproof rating allows confident operation in wet weather and damp conditions without concern.
- What's included for charging? — A 2-amp USB-C charger is included in the box, representing modern charging convenience with significantly faster charging than older connector types. For 240V UK mains operation, Traxxas recommends the optional power adapter 2912 and power cable 2916 for peak charging performance, though the USB-C charger can be powered from any USB power source including laptop computers.
- Can I upgrade parts on the Mini XRT? — Yes, the modular chassis design and use of proven Traxxas components mean parts are widely available and easily replaceable. Many enthusiasts upgrade suspension components, differential settings, tyres, and other wear items. The TQi radio system is forward compatible with future Traxxas vehicles.
- How difficult is maintenance on brushless RC trucks? — The brushless system is dramatically simpler than brushed alternatives. You'll never need to replace brushes or clean commutators. Basic maintenance includes occasional gear differential service, shock oil checks, and tyre cleaning. The included maintenance tools provide everything needed for routine care. Waterproof electronics mean you can clean the truck with water without concern for motor damage.
