Three drive profiles, low voltage detection, 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

Mud. Water. Snow. 1/16 Grave Digger's waterproof electronics and fully sealed receiver box let you make tracks in conditions that leave other trucks parked at home. Traxxas' innovative, ground-breaking waterproof receiver box puts 1/16 Grave Digger in a league of its own. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a special watertight seal (patent pending). To protect the receiver from dust and water a custom shaped blue O-ring seals the receiver box. Thanks to the unique design, the receiver can be removed for service and even aftermarket receivers can be used, without losing the sealing properties of the box.

Three-Channel Micro Receiver

Traxxas' 3-channel micro receiver provides reliable reception as it saves weight, and dual channel-1 inputs allow you to install dual steering servos without the need for a bulky Y-harness. The receiver is fully protected from the elements by 1/16 Grave Digger's waterproof receiver box.

The Titan 12T is made for dirt-roosting torque, lightning-quick acceleration, big-air jumps, and just about any other 4-wheel fun that demands real horsepower.

New Monster Jam Tires and Beadlock-Style Wheels

New tires developed specifically for 1/16 Grave Digger emulate the "hand carved" look of the full-size treads, and are molded in a unique compound that hooks up for maximum acceleration and great grip on a wide variety of surfaces including dirt, pavement, and rocks. New deep-dish wheels with bead-lock detailing complete the aggressive, authentic look.

Ball-Bearing Transmission with Slipper Clutch

1/16 Grave Digger's high-efficiency, heavy-duty transmission is designed for full-throttle fun with precision ball bearings and high-strength gears. An adjustable slipper clutch lets you tailor power delivery to suit the terrain and your driving style, and makes certain every watt of power is turned into pure performance.

Sealed Silicone-Filled Differential

An industry first! Only Traxxas offers the superior power-handling and tuning capability of a sealed differential in 1/16 scale.

It's a Traxxas innovation you won't find on any other mini-model.

Pivot Ball Suspension

1/16 Grave Digger features pivot-ball suspension for smooth suspension articulation and easy adjustment. Rubber-sealed ball bearings ward off dirt and debris as they increase precision and reduce friction, and the oversized 8x12mm inboard bearings maximize durability. For extra security, the heavy-duty axle carriers are designed so the universal-joint axles' crosspins are captured by the inner bearings another example of Traxxas' attention to every detail.

Universal-Joint Driveshafts

1/16 Grave Digger is fully equipped with telescoping, universal-joint axles for optimum drivetrain efficiency and maximum power transfer. The true-curvilinear spline design operates freely, and the oversized U-joints set the standard for strength and high-power durability.

Digital High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo

Small but powerful, the 1/16 Grave Digger's #2080 servo cranks out 41.7 oz.-in. of tire-turning torque with digital circuitry for responsive control even in water, mud and snow, thanks to its O-ring-sealed waterproof construction.

Quick-Release Battery Doors

Grave Digger uses an innovative solution for easy battery installation. Quick-release battery doors snap open and closed in seconds for fast and easy battery installation. There are no clips to lose in the field, and fast battery changes during pit stops let you spend more time on the trail and less time on the bench.
 

Battery Compartment Vents

Resembling the exhaust ducts of a turbine powered jet, the futuristic battery vents are securely mounted on the chassis. In addition to offering entrance and exit cooling, the oversized openings incorporate latches that insert into the battery door clasps. The battery compartment vents symbolize the sleek and high-tech image that places Traxxas 1/16 scale vehicles in a class all their own.

Oil-Filled GTR Shocks

1/16 Grave Digger's super-smooth oil-filled shocks damp the suspension and maintain control no matter how rugged the terrain. They are fully tuneable and include pressure bladders for air/oil separation and threaded spring pre-load collars for quick ride height adjustments.

Revo-Spec Suspension

A defining feature of the Grave Digger, expertly executed in 1/16 scale. The unique Revo-Spec suspension places the shocks inboard on the chassis, away from dirt and debris, and amplifies the shocks' travel for incredible off-road capability without the weight of extra-long shocks. Installed Progressive-2 rockers provide linear travel; optional Progressive rockers are available to tune the 1/16 Grave Digger with damping and spring rates that increase as the suspension is compressed.
 

Progressive Rate Travel

With over 50mm of suspension travel, 1/16 Grave Digger offers the most articulation possible for bump and jump handling capability that leaves other trucks far behind. Tunable progressive damping rates, independent ride height adjustment, and the absolute highest level of control for any situation put Traxxas 1/16-scale models far ahead of the pack.

Rubber-Sealed Ball Bearings

Precision rubber-sealed bearings offer the ultimate in low-friction performance and maximum protection in dirty environments. They are used in all exposed locations on the truck and are virtually maintenance free.

Hex Hardware

Pro-quality, high-grade, metric hex-drive hardware is used throughout for extra strength, and easy maintenance and repair. The black-oxide rust-resistant finish provides a high-tech look and feel.
