Trail Ready DefenderRed body on Method Race Wheels
The Traxxas TRX-4 Land Rover Defender, part number 82256-4-RED1, is a 1/10 scale 4WD trail and crawler truck that comes fully assembled and waterproof, with a TQi 2.4 GHz radio, XL-5 HV speed control and a clipless, officially licensed Land Rover Defender body in Red on officially licensed Method Race Wheels. It is part of the updated Defender lineup Traxxas announced in November 2026, shipping early December. Add a battery, a charger and four AA batteries to run.
Built For Technical TrailsPortal axles, locking diffs, two speeds
Exclusive portal axles lift the truck at the wheels for 3.14 inches of center ground clearance and eliminate torque twist, while remote-locking front and rear differentials and a two-speed high/low transmission let you switch from slow, technical rock crawling to faster trail driving right from the transmitter.
The trail-tuned XL-5 HV waterproof ESC and Titan 21T 550 motor run on 6-7 cell NiMH or 2S-3S LiPo power, and the TQi radio adds cruise control for long trail runs. A 1.5 mm steel ladder frame, aluminum GTS oil-filled shocks, a 2075X metal-gear waterproof servo and 1.9 inch Canyon Trail tires with foam inserts round out the chassis. This version pairs the Red body with officially licensed Method Race Wheels.

How much ground clearance does the TRX-4 Land Rover Defender have?
The TRX-4 Land Rover Defender has 3.14 inches, or 80 mm, of center ground clearance thanks to its portal axles, which lift the axle housings at the wheels.
