Traxxas Press Release:
 
Take Grave Digger On the Go!
Take Monster Jam fun and excitement anywhere with the 1/16 Grave Digger, complete with backpack for on-the-go adventure! High-torque Titan 550 motor and 2WD drivetrain deliver wheelie-popping power, and the authentic Grave Digger styling is officially licensed right down to the tombstones for realistic monster fun. "Carved" chevron tires on beadlock-style wheels finish off the Monster Jam look, and the included long-range TQ AM radio system keeps you in complete car-crushing control. Toss the truck and transmitter into the included Grave Digger backpack, and Monster Jam thrills are ready for the road!

 

Modified Muscle

Leave it to Traxxas to put the huge torque of a the Titan 550 motor into the 1/16 Grave Digger for high-powered monster performance! The Titan modified motor is designed for incredible mod-motor power output with virtually maintenance-free operation and long-lasting performance. The Titan 12T 550 motor's integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through the motor to keep temperatures down. A cooler running motor equates to faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life. The XL-2.5 Electronic Speed Control offers high current handling, EZ-Set® one-button setup, and smooth high-frequency control. Three drive profiles, thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated connectors, and incredibly low resistance are all features you might expect to only be available on an expensive replacement speed control, but they're standard equipment with the 1/16 Grave Digger.


Proven Traxxas Innovation

No detail was overlooked in our mission to bring all the capability, durability, and excitement of Traxxas' award-winning models to 1/16 scale for fast, affordable R/C fun. The 1/16 Grave Digger is built on the race-winning, track-proven innovation of the Revo and E-Revo models. The standard-bearer of design excellence, the Revo's rocker-actuated inboard suspension has been expertly adapted to 1/16 scale with all its functionality and performance intact, right down to the oil-filled, threaded-body GTR shocks. This superior technology provides capability and performance at the absolute pinnacle of truck design. The suspension and electronics are fully integrated into the semi-monocoque chassis design that stunned the world when it debuted with the E-Revo. Intricately molded as a single piece, the chassis balances strength and weight, function and aesthetics, convenience and performance to far surpass the standards of the "mini" category. In 1/16 scale, it is an even more impressive achievement of packaging and performance optimization that could only come from Traxxas, The Fastest Name In Radio Control®.

 

Optimized for All-Terrain Excitement
The 1/16 Grave Digger is built on proven innovation of 1/16 E-Revo and dialed in with a rear-wheel-drive monster truck setup for exceptional versatility and fun. The unique inboard suspension is equipped with Progressive-2 rockers for the perfect balance of ground clearance and traction on a variety of terrains. New Monster Jam 1.7"  rims hold replica Monster Jam tires with the same scale tread pattern as the "big" Grave Digger to deliver tenacious off-road traction.

 

Waterproof Electronics For Go-Anywhere R/C Adventure
1/16 Grave Digger looks ready for anything because it is ready for anything! Fully waterproof electronics keep the fun rolling through water, mud and snow while lesser trucks stay on the bench. The patent-pending sealed receiver box houses Traxxas' micro AM receiver and can accept aftermarket receivers as well, without compromising the waterproof properties. The XL-2.5 electronic speed control and high-torque, digital micro servo are sealed against the elements giving you the freedom to go places other cars wouldn't dare to venture.

100% Ready-To-Drive®

The 1/16 Grave Digger is fully assembled with TQ AM radio system, XL-2.5 electronic speed control, Titan® 12T 550 motor, painted and decaled body, pre-glued tires, and detailed instructions. A Traxxas Power Cell NiMH battery and charger are also included, making the Grave Digger truly Ready-To-Drive. Designed specifically for the high-power needs of Traxxas vehicles, the potent Power Cell pack features heavy-duty construction, 16-gauge wires and Traxxas' exclusive High-Current Connector for efficient power transfer, run after run. Traxxas backs the 1/16 Grave Digger and all of our products with top-notch support that is second to none. A staff of skilled representatives is on hand to answer your questions via phone, website, or e-mail. Unmatched parts support allows the Grave Digger to be serviced with parts and support from thousands of hobby dealers worldwide. Your investment is also protected by the Traxxas Lifetime Electronics Warranty. Traxxas goes the extra mile to ensure that your R/C experience is easy and fun (and fast!).
