The detail and design are so intricate that, up close, the fully-licensed Land Rover TRX-4 could easily pass as a shrink-rayed clone of its full-sized, 4×4 inspiration. But in exhaustively duplicating a Land Rover Defender at a hundredth the size, Traxxas has managed to create a remote-controlled car that miraculously retains some of the most badass features of a real off-road vehicle. Like its namesake, the scale model is built for off-road terrain and extreme obstacles and features an innovative portal axle set that lifts the truck for ground clearance. Other heavy-duty perks include remote-locking front and rear differentials, high/low range transmission, GTS Aluminum Shocks, and steel frame rails. The components are all waterproof, too, so wet adventures pose no threat to the electronic innards. All in all the heavy duty toy weighs less than eight pounds. Who’s up for some off-roading?
