Rule the Trail with the TRX-4 Sport High Trail Edition from Traxxas

By: Tim Gluth

Traxxas has gone all-in with its High Trail Edition TRX-4 models. Their newest offering transforms the entry-level TRX-4 Sport into a lifted, trail-ready machine.

The TRX-4 Sport High Trail Edition (#82044-4) builds on the already solid performance of the TRX-4 but with the added benefit of 2.2" tires and a Long Arm Lift Kit to help it navigate trail obstacles. Geared more for trail driving than crawling, this rig is also outfitted with several scale details that set it apart from its TRX-4 siblings.

This TRX-4 Sport variant includes a pre-installed Expedition Rack and features body details like a snorkel and front and rear LED light buckets. Two metallic body color options are available online (red and blue), while a special edition gray body (with green accents) will be available exclusively at Traxxas dealers through October 1, 2023. After that date, the Gray Edition TRX-4 Sport High Trail will be available online.

Speaking of the body, Traxxas has modified this version of the TRX-4 Sport to utilize the "clipless" body mounting system, giving the exterior a smooth look without unsightly, exposed body posts.
