The 9796 is designed to maintain the TRX-4M’s high level of scale detail while adding real-world functionality. Hauling a trailer adds tongue weight to the rear of the vehicle; to combat this, Traxxas includes stiffer spring spacers in this kit. These spacers prevent the rear suspension from "sagging," ensuring your crawler maintains proper ground clearance and approach/departure angles while under load.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. Scale Trailer Hitch Assembly
-
Universal Compatibility: Features a standard ball-hitch design that mates perfectly with the Traxxas TRX-4M Utility Trailer.
-
Secure Mounting: The hitch mounts directly to the rear bumper/chassis assembly using included steel hardware, providing a rigid towing point that won't flex or pull away under heavy loads.
2. Load-Leveling Spring Spacers
-
Suspension Support: The included snap-on spring spacers increase the preload on the rear shocks.
This compensates for the weight of the trailer, keeping the chassis level and maintaining suspension travel. -
Easy Installation: These spacers can be added or removed in seconds, allowing you to quickly switch between "towing mode" and "standard crawling mode."
3. Authentic Pro Scale® Look
-
Hidden Design: When a trailer isn't attached, the hitch maintains a low profile that blends into the scale rear bumper of the Defender or Bronco.
-
Tough Construction: Built to handle the torque of the TRX-4M's motor when pulling heavy loads over uneven trail terrain.
