Powering your Traxxas XRT 8S Extreme 4WD Brushless RTR Race Monster Truck the right way starts with the battery. Whether you own the Green version with TQi 2.4GHz Radio and TSM, or a custom build, choosing the right battery setup is key to unlocking its full performance.
At CNHL, we recommend two proven options for the XRT platform. The 9500mAh 14.8V 4S 90C Racing Series delivers massive capacity and torque—ideal for longer run times, big jumps, and full-throttle bashing. It’s the go-to battery when you need maximum endurance and steady voltage under extreme loads.
Prefer something more nimble? The 6200mAh 14.8V 4S 90C Racing Series offers lighter weight, fast punch, and responsive control—perfect for tighter spaces or track-style runs.
Important setup note: The Traxxas XRT requires two 4S batteries connected in series to create an 8S power system. That means you'll need to purchase two identical packs—either 9500mAh x2 or 6200mAh x2—for each complete run.
Both CNHL batteries come with EC5 connectors. To plug into your XRT (which uses TRX plugs), simply use an EC5-to-TRX adapter—no soldering needed. This setup is tested, safe, and widely used by the RC community.
Thousands of Traxxas owners rely on CNHL packs for their superior punch, long cycle life, and unbeatable value. Whether you're racing or bashing, our LiPo batteries are designed to deliver the voltage your XRT demands.
