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

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.

 

New Clipless Body Mounting

New to TRX-4 79&prime Chevrolet K5 Blazer, clipless body mounting combines clean flowing lines with secure latching convenience. TRX-4 K5 Blazer’s hidden latches hold tight on the trail no matter how intense the action gets, but release in just seconds to access the chassis.

 

Torque Twist Eliminated

Portal axles use gear reduction at the wheels to virtually eliminate torque twist. The Titan 550 motor's torque translates into straight, powerful, forward motion, rather than wasted energy twisting your rig right off the rocks.

 

Scale Details

TRX-4 K5 Blazer is a masterwork of scale detail. Bright chromer 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.

 

Remote Locking Differentials

Traxxas allows you to lock and unlock both the front and rear differentials remotely from your transmitter. New sleeved micro cables control the differential action for scale appearance, without limiting suspension articulation.

 

TQi(TM) Radio System with Cruise Control

The Traxxas TQi features their exclusive cruise control for long-distance treks. Set your speed using the transmitter and then use the multi-function knob to fine-tune it faster or slower to match precisely the pace of your caravan of trail explorers.
