TRX-4 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Scale and Trail Crawler 4x4 RTR R/C (Black)

Introduced in 1969, the Chevrolet Blazer was General Motors’ two-door entry into the booming sport utility market. Its shorter wheelbase and capable suspension instantly made it a favorite in the 4X4 world, earning the love of enthusiasts and collectors. Traxxas honors the rich history of the Blazer with this beautifully detailed reproduction of the 1979 K5 Blazer built on the renowned TRX-4® chassis. Outfitted with replica Rally wheels, a highly detailed chrome grille, and a full complement of scale details, the TRX-4 Blazer combines the iconic style of the Blazer with toughness and technology that could only come from Traxxas.

The Power of Portals

Portal axles lift the truck at the wheels for a huge center pumpkin ground clearance. In order to achive the same clearance with straight axles, your tires would have to be over an inch taller than the tires on the TRX-4 K5 Blazer.

Scale Details

The TRX-4 K5 Blazer is a masterwork of scale detail. Bright chrome decal trim frames the stunning two-tone paint and clear windows. The injection molded grille, bumpers, wipers, and door handles are chromed for maximum visual impact. Even the replica Rally wheels are accurate down to the smallest detail.

High/Low Range Transmission

When the going gets tough, shift into low range for incredible 4WD pulling torque. Shift into high range for blasting down the trail. The TRX-4 Blazer adapts to any situation or driving style.

Waterproof Electronics

The TRX-4 is fully waterproof, not "splash resistant." There is a big difference. Traxxas' patented innovation gives you the freedom to tackle creeks, snow, and mud without worrying about water in your electronics.
