Traxxas TRX-4M Chevy K10 High Trail Edition

By: Tim Gluth

Small-scale R/C crawler fanatics rejoice! The Traxxas TRX-4M lineup is expanding with the addition of the TRX-4M Chevy K10 High Trail Edition. Traxxas has turned its "High Trail" attention to it's 1/18-scale TRX-4M, offering a pickup truck model that's ready for adventure.

Wonderfully downsizing a Chevrolet K10 body to 1/18-scale, you'll find plenty of detail on this rig from bumper to bumper. Available in red, blue, and "Special Edition" black (available through Traxxas Exclusive Dealers through December 1, 2023), the TRX-4M Chevy K10 High Trail includes chrome-plated details like the grille, door handles, side mirrors, rollbar, and bumpers.

Under the body, not much has changed. The TRX-4M Chevy K10 High Trail Edition uses a ladder frame, a four-link suspension setup, a 180-size 87T brushed motor, and a 2S LiPo battery. This truck does have a longer wheelbase (162mm/6.4in) compared to the TRX-4M Bronco and Defender (155mm/6.10in).

A Long Arm Lift Kit is pre-installed to give this truck a lifted visual look and help improve ground clearance. Also assisting with the increased ground clearance are this rig's larger 2.4" (outer diameter) tires. Finally, chrome-plated multi-hole wheels cap off the classic appearance of this truck.
