Traxxas 1/10 Brushless Rally Racer

The new Traxxas 1/10 Rally delivers rally-racing excitement with its purpose-built design and innovative features. The all-new, performance-optimized low-CG chassis combines with the proven Velineon brushless power system and full-time 4WD to unleash a new kind of R/C fun. The Rally delivers true multi-terrain versatility. Tackle off-road terrain with long-travel suspension, then transition to pavement with precise handling for thrilling full-power drifts. From the rush of closed-circuit rally-cross to wide-open European rally racing, the Traxxas Rally replicates the full-throttle excitement of the full-size machines and their dynamic racing style. And since rally races don’t slow down for rain or snow, neither does the Traxxas Rally. Waterproof electronics allow rain-or-shine racing for even more realism and fun, with speed to match–60+mph! The 1/10 Rally is Ready-To-Race® and Traxxas-Tough, built for versatile and exciting driving fun that could only come from Traxxas.

Class-Leading Brushless Power
The Rally’s Traxxas Velineon Brushless Power system brings the Rally to life with outrageous electric power that doesn’t know limitations and boundaries. Pour in the voltage and out comes the speed in tidal waves of force harnessed by precision throttle control. The sheer brutal power combined with the Rally’s four-corner grip results in tire-melting acceleration and lightning fast speed. The Velineon 3s Brushless Power System’s components work together as an optimized package, from the patented Traxxas High-Current connector to the custom-wound motor. The Velineon system delivers the ultimate in efficiency, speed, and run-time with precision throttle response and refined control. It’s brushless performance the Traxxas way: wicked fast and easy to use. Just plug it in and it works, no special knowledge or programming skills required.

Velineon VXL-3s Electronic Speed Control
Inside its waterproof case, the Velineon VXL-3s speed control is loaded with high-grade technology to precisely deliver maximum power to the motor. It’s engineered for today’s battery technology and beyond. Two-stage low voltage detection allows full LiPo compatibility, including powerful Traxxas Power Cell 11.1-volt 3S LiPo packs.

Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor
Extreme performance is standard equipment with the sensorless Velineon motor. Ultra high-temperature Neodymium magnets, high-speed ball bearings, and a precision balanced rotor deliver power and long life with near zero maintenance. Since there are no brushes or commutator to wear out, you always get the same blistering acceleration and ballistic top speed run after run.

The World’s Most Advanced Ready-To-Race® Radio System
The Traxxas Rally is equipped with the world’s most advanced Ready-To-Race® radio system. The all-new Traxxas® TQi™ arrives with a full complement of tuning features and offers the unbeatable convenience of “no channels, no crystals” 2.4GHz technology—but that’s just the beginning. Automatic model recognition instantly recalls your settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models. Just switch on and drive, no naming or “model memory” settings required. Power up the transmitter and the model you want to drive, and the settings for that model are dialed in immediately! The new TQi 2.4GHz transmitter is fully adjustable: steering and throttle end points can be set precisely, and the Multi-Function knob can be programmed to control Steering Sensitivity (Expo), Throttle Sensitivity (Expo), Steering Percentage (Dual Rate), Braking Percentage (Dual Rate), or Throttle Trim. TQi’s ergonomic case design provides all-day driving comfort, and the unique internal antenna contributes to its sleek, modern look.

TQi Docking Base Compatible
The TQi’s most important new feature may already be in your pocket. The TQi can be equipped with an optional Docking Base (#6510) that turns your iPhone® or iPod touch® (sold separately) into a powerful tuning tool for your Traxxas model. The full-color display combines with the free Traxxas Link™ App (on the App Store) to deliver an intuitive, high-definition, full-color graphical user interface that unlocks the mysteries of optimizing your radio system for ultimate vehicle control. Traxxas Link also opens the door to telemetry capability when you add optional sensors to your model.

All-New Low-CG Chassis
The innovation designed into the Rally begins with an all-new low center of gravity (CG) chassis that’s unlike anything you’ve seen before. The battery and electronics are held as low as possible to position weight low in the chassis. Extreme Brushless Power and 4WD require a chassis that won’t flex under load for arrow-straight, hard-charging acceleration. To offer the required rigidity, smoothly integrated ribs form a triangulated structure that’s optimized for the loads imparted by the suspension and powertrain. Underneath, the chassis is ultra-smooth to reduce drag and prevent snags driving through real-world conditions, and the Rally incorporates state-of-the-art concepts to maximize speed and fun on or off the race track. The low-CG design dramatically increases corner speed and stability on tarmac, gravel, and extreme off-road conditions. On the track, the low center of gravity allows the Rally to put the Velineon power down with superior traction, resulting in hard launches and fast lap times. The Rally feels planted and secure at speed delivering realistic Rally handling and performance.

Ultra Efficient Shaft-Driven 4WD
The Rally uses just three gear meshes to drive all four wheels, eliminating the need for a multi-gear transmission. The highly efficient drivetrain spins effortlessly on rubber-sealed ball bearings, and is integrated seamlessly into the Rally’s unique chassis for optimum performance and easy maintenance. The center driveshaft is formed from extruded aluminum and extremely lightweight, contributing to the Rally’s right-now acceleration. There are no dogbones to wear, no drive cups to wobble. The extrusion process creates internal splines that fit directly and securely onto the input shafts of the front and rear drive assemblies. The shaft runs perfectly straight and true and superior rigidity and durability. Traxxas engineers highlighted this important innovation with vivid blue anodizing and a laser-etched Traxxas logo.

Modular Simplicity
Old designs made servicing of 4-wheel drive vehicles cumbersome and time-consuming. Traxxas has a better way. The Rally’s modular design allows the entire front section to be removed with just five screws, and the rear assembly with just four screws. In less than a minute using a power screwdriver, you have full access for easy service and adjustment. Click the video tab above to learn more about this feature!

Waterproof Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Only Traxxas lets you experience brushless-powered 4WD Rally excitement year-round, no matter what mother nature has to offer. Water, mud, and snow don’t slow down full-size rall racers or the Traxxas Rally; its electronic speed control, receiver box, and high-torque digital steering servo are all waterproof for no-worry fun in wet conditions that add excitement to rally racing in any scale. Drive the Rally where you want, when you want—the only limit is your imagination.

Authentic Rally Style
The Rally’s authentically-styled body is fully decorated with bold logos and graphics, ready to hit the race course right out of the box. The Rally’s all-new tires are fully licensed and duplicate BFGoodrich®’s Gravel tread to accurately represent the full-size tire for the ultimate in realistic performance and control. New wheels complete the look with a 12-Spoke Rally design color-matched to the body. The new wheels are fully compatible with factory Traxxas and aftermarket tires, and feature 12mm hexes and the same offset as Slash 4X4 wheels for multi-car versatility.
