X-Series Size
Both longer and wider than the legendary X-Maxx®, the Pro Scale Sand Car is the largest member of the X-Series family. This immense size gives the Sand Car incredible scale detail, authentic driving dynamics, and an imposing presence. The Sand Car’s huge footprint provides extra stability to blast down desert trails and fly over dunes with ease.
Scale Details
Traxxas pulled out all the stops to replicate the full-size Funco GTU Sand Car in exact detail. The Pro Scale Sand Car features a full interior with dashboard and driver figures and replica remote-reservoir 3.5″ shocks. The engine is a work of art, comprised of 9 different pieces, including licensed R2C air filters and a Whipple supercharger.
Front Disc Brakes
Powerful front disc brakes work in tandem with the rear motor braking for powerful and controlled 4-wheel stopping power. Sheathed cables clamp the calipers down on drilled stainless steel rotors for scale authenticity. A digital 2075 servo actuates the brakes through an adjustable linkage for greater braking precision and control.
Belted Paddle Tires
The Pro Scale Sand Car’s aggressive paddle tires feature twice the traditional number of ribs for extreme traction off the line. A belted carcass prevents the paddles from distorting for maximum forward bite in the sand and powerful acceleration.
Internal Tube Frame
A rugged tube frame supports the entire Pro Scale Sand Car body from end to end. The heavily reinforced structure protects the car in case of rollovers and provides a rigid mounting point for the wing and clipless mounts. When it’s time to release the body, simply pull on the self-energizing latches and the entire structure lifts off in seconds.
VXL-8s Power System
The Pro Scale Sand Car features Traxxas’ most powerful brushless system, the Velineon® VXL-8s™ speed control and 1200XL motor. The high-performance VXL-8s maximizes power output across the entire rpm range. Bury the throttle at any speed and the Sand Car instantly wheelies until you back off…or run out of desert.
Precision Driveline
With 30+ volts of brushless power going only to the rear wheels, the Pro Scale Sand Car needs a radically strong driveline. Inside the massively reinforced case, huge module 1.5 wide-face transmission gears feed uninterrupted power to the wheels. A beefed-up X-Maxx differential with larger output cups engages steel driveshafts to form the toughest driveline ever outfitted to a Traxxas vehicle.
High-Visibility Whip Lights
Colorful whip lights rise over 10 inches above the body to provide a clear and bright visibility marker when storming dunes at 55+ mph. The lights are color-matched to the body to give the car a dramatic look. New Flex-Tech™ spring-loaded mounts allow the whip lights to bend without breaking in case of rollovers.

Pro Scale Experience
Traxxas re-engineered the X-Series platform to create a sand car that would accurately replicate not just the look of the Funco machine, but also its mind-blowing driving dynamics. Grab full throttle on the Traxxas Pro Scale Sand Car and you’ll experience the thrill and excitement of driving a top-tier 1000+ horsepower sand car for yourself.
