The Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3


The Ultimate 4x4 Nitro Monster
4x4 monster truck fun starts with T-Maxx. When T-Maxx launched onto the scene a whole new world of R/C driving possibilities emerged. T-Maxx has become the world's best-selling Ready-To-Race® nitro monster truck by climbing, jumping, and ripping through terrain that others simply wouldn't dare to attempt. Hardcore nitro monster crushing continues to evolve and so does T-Maxx. Introducing the new T-Maxx 3.3. This brutal new Maxx responds to the call with a huge new stance; a tougher backbone; and wicked, tire-searing performance. T-Maxx brings it all together and unlocks a whole new level of monster thrashing potential. Go faster, jump higher, and let your creativity find new forms of torturous off-road pounding. The new T-Maxx is stronger, bigger, and meaner right down to its monster core.
Maxx-Sized Stance
The new T-Maxx 3.3 is the biggest Maxx ever. New, giant Maxx tires deliver massive grip off-road and at 6.3" tall, they add increased ground clearance to gobble up deep ruts and overcome huge boulders. In the city, urban obstacles such as curbs and stairs beckon for an all-out Maxx assault. Maxx tires come pre-glued to 3.8" Mirror-Chrome Hurricane wheels. Traxxas engineers equipped the new T-Maxx 3.3 with an extended wheelbase (30mm longer) for maximum stability. T-Maxx is able to put more power the ground for even more acceleration and amazing directional control. There's no skimping when it comes to the chassis. It's formed from 4mm thick 6061-T6 aluminum and then anodized in brilliant blue. Meaty new chassis braces and an all-new skid plate add rock-solid rigidity.
More Power!
The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is famous for its broad, linear output that makes Extreme Horsepower available practically anywhere in the rpm range. Hammer the throttle at any speed and the T-Maxx completely shreds the ground underneath. Brutal bottom-end torque rips massive wheel-standing launches that swell to top speeds soaring past 45mph! The new extra-large dual-stage Traxxas air filter allows increased air flow to the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine, breathing in even more horsepower and torque.
Larger filtering capacity also delivers consistent tuning during long running sessions and between maintenance intervals. At the opposite end, the Resonator dual-chamber Maxx pipe provides an average peak torque increase of 16% over the standard Maxx pipe, and a 10% increase in total power across the whole range. Full mirror polish adds that final touch.
Powerful New Steering
With T-Maxx's bigger, grippier tires and the ability to go even deeper off-road, you need steering authority you can count on. The new T-Maxx 3.3 is equipped with a new bellcrank steering system with an integrated servo saver. It's powered by a high-torque digital servo that delivers a whopping 50% more torque than a standard hi-torque servo. It's got the muscle to steer through ruts, deep sand and other high-load conditions that try to throw you off course.
Revo-Spec Driveline
Revo® DNA blends high-tech engineering with brute strength. The new T-Maxx 3.3 focuses on essential performance so it's equipped with a forward-only, auto-shifting, two-speed transmission. The quick-spinning, low-mass design contributes to the responsive acceleration and performance. Extra-wide gears and smart use of steel components come together for the strength needed to handle Extreme TRX 3.3 power and torque. Revo Spec center driveshafts between the transmission and differentials are overbuilt to handle the inevitable driveline impacts that occur after jumps and during punishing off-road driving.
Sealed Differentials
Revo®-Spec sealed differentials are used for massively increased torque handling and long-lasting performance.

X-ring seals keep the oil in and the dirt out for virtually maintenance free operation. You spend more time driving and practically no time on the workbench. Since the diffs are completely sealed, they can be fine-tuned with different oil viscosities to adjust the limited-slip action.

Going out to the wheels, sealed outer driveshafts keep out the dirt for smooth, dependable performance. Traxxas sliding shafts are proven tough and the superior design allows maximum suspension articulation without binding.
Adjustable Wheelie Bar
The new T-Maxx 3.3 comes equipped with our exclusive adjustable wheelie bar (patent pending). With so much power on tap, it's a must have! The wheelie bar has 4-snap-in-adjustment-positions that allow you to choose how extreme you want your action to be. In the down position, it keeps the front end of the T-Maxx planted to show off the incredible acceleration possible with the TRX 3.3. Raise the wheelie bar to its full-up position and the action gets wild, with giant wheelies that hang on as long as you keep mashing the throttle… even through second gear! The new T-Maxx 3.3 continues to be faster on its two back wheels than most other trucks are on the ground. It's an amazing thrill show that will put your driving skills to the test again and again. The unique design allows it to be easily removed in situations where you may not want the additional control.
Push-Button Electric Starting
Before the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine, drivers had to give up the convenience of their EZ-Start®, the easy tuning characteristics of their Traxxas engine, Traxxas support, and too much of their hard-earned cash to try and experience any horsepower increases from the aftermarket. The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is the solution that brings it all together with extreme horsepower that is second to no one; easy tuning; full Traxxas reliability and support, including the Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan; and the pure convenience of one-touch, push-button, EZ-Start electric starting.

Only the Traxxas EZ-Start offers the pure convenience of true one-handed operation and complete on-board, push-button electric starting. EZ-Start is the safest and most reliable way to start your engine. The Traxxas EZ-Start lights your glow plug and starts your engine quickly and smoothly at the push of a button. Traxxas' exclusive Smart Start™ technology monitors critical starting functions, automatically sensing and diagnosing potential problems for trouble-free engine starting every time!
