About the Traxxas X-Monster
The Traxxas X-Monster inherits the X-Maxx 8S chassis and electronics but debuts a new series of scale monster-truck bodies. Powered by the Velineon 1200XL motor and VXL-8S ESC, it runs flawlessly with CNHL LiPo batteries built for high-current draw and reliability.
8S and 4S LiPo Battery Compatibility
Both the X-Monster and X-Maxx use a dual 4S layout to achieve an 8S LiPo Battery system. This setup allows flexible pairing for different weights, capacities, and runtimes while maintaining consistent balance and voltage output.
