Traxxas Stampede 4X4 VXL Brushless RTR Monster Truck w/TSM & TQi Blue

This is the Traxxas Stampede 4X4 Brushless VXL Ready-to-Run Waterproof Radio Controlled Monster Truck with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), Self Righting, and the TQi 2.4GHz Radio System (Traxxas Bluetooth Link Module Compatible – Module sold separately). Battery and charger are sold separately.

Traxxas Stability Management

Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) allows you to experience all the extreme power, speed, and acceleration that was engineered into the Stampede 4X4 VXL by making it much easier to control on common slippery surfaces such as loose dirt, smooth concrete, and even ice and snow. Punch it off the line and TSM goes to work sensing the vehicle’s direction and making steering corrections to provide straight-ahead full-throttle acceleration without fishtailing, spinouts, and loss of control. TSM also works during cornering, first making intuitive corrections to maintain your line, and then allowing you to hammer the throttle earlier in the turn for much faster exit speeds. Braking is dramatically improved as TSM works to keep you arrow straight until you come to a complete stop. TSM acts as your on-board co-pilot in the vehicle that “feels” what the vehicle is doing and makes corrections for vehicle movements that you cannot even detect, well before the vehicle gets out of control.

Traxxas TSM gives you all the benefits modern electronic stabilization has to offer without intruding on your driving fun. Traxxas engineers developed superior tuning algorithms that run on high-speed, precision electronic components to create a system that works invisibly, in the background, without ever limiting your throttle. TSM can be fine tuned (or turned off) for different surfaces by simply adjusting the multi-function knob on the TQi transmitter, or by adjusting the slider in the Traxxas link app. The result is that you are driving faster, with more ease, and having more fun,with that fully connected feeling at the controls that you expect. In fact, you may not even realize how much TSM is helping you until you turn it off and test your driving skills without it!

TSM Benefits

• TSM makes Traxxas vehicles easier to drive, particularly on loose surfaces
• TSM makes driving more fun by allowing the driver to accelerate harder and drive faster with much greater control
• TSM works to stabilize vehicles over rough surfaces as the gyro effect of the spinning front tires continues to “steer” when the vehicle is in the air
• TSM dramatically improves braking performance, preventing the vehicle from spinning out
• TSM allows faster cornering speeds
• TSM never restricts throttle (or fun!)
• TSM allows the driver to accelerate harder when exiting a turn
• TSM works invisibly in the background
• The driver maintains their connected feel with the vehicle
• The amount of TSM assistance is fully adjustable
• TSM can be turned off or adjusted from the TQi Transmitter
• TSM is fully compatible with Traxxas Link
• TSM does not require any complicated set up or instructions

Self-Righting
The Traxxas exclusive Self-Righting feature made its debut in the ground-breaking X-Maxx monster truck. But we didn’t limit this innovation to one truck. With one press of a button, your monster truck can automatically get itself back on all four tires. This means the action doesn’t have to stop to rescue an upside down truck.
The World’s Most Advanced Ready-To-Race Radio System
Stampede 4X4 is equipped with the world’s most advanced Ready-To-Race radio system. The all-new Traxxas TQi arrives with a full complement of tuning features and offers the unbeatable convenience of “no channels, no crystals” 2.4GHz technology – but that’s just the beginning. Automatic model recognition instantly recalls your settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models. Just switch on and drive, no naming or “model memory” settings required. Power up the transmitter and the model you want to drive, and the settings for that model are dialed in immediately! The new TQi 2.4GHz transmitter is fully adjustable: steering and throttle end points can be set precisely, and the Multi-Function knob can be programmed to control Steering Sensitivity (Expo), Throttle Sensitivity (Expo), Steering Percentage (Dual Rate), Braking Percentage (Dual Rate), or Throttle Trim. TQi’s ergonomic case design provides all-day driving comfort, and the unique internal antenna contributes to its sleek, modern look.

Traxxas Link Wireless Module Compatible
The TQi’s most important new feature may already be in your pocket. The TQi can be equipped with an Traxxas Link Wireless Module (#6511, sold separately) that turns your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch (sold separately) into a powerful tuning tool for your Traxxas model. The full-color display combines with the free Traxxas Link App (on the App Store) to deliver an intuitive, high-definition, full-color graphical user interface that unlocks the mysteries of optimizing your radio system for ultimate vehicle control. Traxxas Link also opens the door to telemetry capability when you add optional sensors to your model.
