Traxxas TRX-4M Land Rover Defender 1/18 4WD RTR Rock Crawler – Silver

Enjoy realistic off-road adventure in a compact package with the Traxxas TRX-4M Land Rover Defender in Silver. This fully assembled 1/18 scale crawler combines classic Defender styling with a purpose-built four-wheel-drive chassis, making it a great choice for indoor obstacle courses, backyard crawling and small outdoor trails.

Its compact size makes it easy to transport and opens up plenty of possibilities for creating your own challenges. Turn garden rocks, timber ramps and everyday obstacles into a course where careful throttle control and choosing the right line are part of the fun.

Detailed Land Rover Defender Hard Body

The officially licensed ABS hard body recreates the Defender’s distinctive appearance with realistic mirrors, door handles, windscreen wipers, roof rack and rear-mounted spare tyre. The silver body gives the model a classic scale look, complemented by rugged fender flares and exterior accessories.

A clipless body mounting system keeps the body securely attached while allowing quick removal for battery access. There are no loose body clips to misplace.

Front bumper LED lights come installed. Additional headlights, brake lights and reverse lights can be added with the optional Defender Pro Scale LED light kit, sold separately.

The TRX-4M uses a steel ladder frame for rigidity and durability. Its shaft-driven 4WD system and locked front and rear axles keep all four wheels driving as the suspension moves over obstacles.

A low-mounted battery tray helps maintain stability, while the forward-mounted Titan 180 87-turn brushed motor provides controlled power for slow, deliberate crawling. Fixed gear mesh simplifies maintenance by removing the need for gear-mesh adjustment.

Articulating Suspension and Tight Steering

Triangulated four-link suspension allows the front and rear axles to articulate over uneven ground. Oil-filled GTM shocks control suspension movement, helping reduce bounce and giving the model a more realistic ride.

The 2065T steering servo with metal main gear delivers direct steering control. A 45-degree steering angle helps manoeuvre around closely spaced obstacles, while soft-compound Canyon AT tyres provide traction on detailed 1-inch wheels. 

Selectable Driving Modes

The waterproof ECM-2.5 electronic control module combines the speed controller, receiver and lighting controller in one unit. Three profiles let you tailor its response:

• Sport Mode: Forward, brake and reverse for general driving.
• Trail Mode: Adds drag braking when the throttle returns to neutral for controlled descents.
• Crawl Mode: Provides instant reverse and full braking at neutral for technical obstacles.

The system also includes low-voltage detection and motor overload protection.
