At RCSuperStore, we understand the thrill of customizing your RC vehicles, and the Traxxas XRT is no exception. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just starting out, decking out your XRT by upgrading your parts and personalized touches is a surefire way to stand out on the track and leave your competitors in the dust.

The Top 7 Upgrades for Your XRT: Enhancing Performance and Style

This guide is your roadmap to maximizing both performance and style through upgrading your XRT parts. From enhancing traction on rugged terrain to fine-tuning your vehicle's aesthetic appeal, each upgrade discussed here promises to elevate your XRT experience to thrilling new heights.

1.Customizing Your XRT Body: Though the default Traxxas XRT body boasts durability, why settle for standard when you can elevate it to exceptional? 

Discover a variety of pre-painted body options such as the ProGraphics Body or the Rock n’ Roll Body. Or unleash the ultimate customization with a clear body. With endless possibilities for painting techniques, graphics, and decals, you can truly make your XRT reflect your unique style.

2.Choosing the Right XRT Tires: Looking to boost both your performance and aesthetic appeal? Opting for the right tires for your XRT can greatly enhance your individual experience.

When tackling challenging landscapes, nothing beats the satisfaction of relying on aggressive off-road tires. We love using the Satin Chrome Wheels, their rugged tread patterns provide exceptional grip, enabling you to conquer any terrain with confidence. These off-road tires guarantee stability, even on the most demanding trails, ensuring you navigate with ease and precision.

We're passionate about employing slick tires in our RC races such as the Rubber Wheelie Bar Tires. They offer a competitive advantage by maximizing traction and minimizing drag, maintaining control during tight corners, and achieving quicker lap times. Ultimately, they contribute to greater success on the track.

3. Upgrading the Suspension: Enhance your XRT's resilience and handling by upgrading to a suspension conversion kit. 

Experience a revolutionary transformation in your vehicle's performance with precision-engineered components that guarantee durability and enhanced handling. For those aspiring to elevate their XRT experience, this conversion kit is indispensable when aiming for a competitive edge. With various color options, it won’t only introduce a touch of unique style, but also assures enduring resilience against the demanding rigors of racing. Say goodbye to flex and hello to precision performance on any terrain.

4.Adding Wireless Connectivity: We love using the Traxxas Link Bluetooth Wireless Module

With real-time data collection and monitoring via the Traxxas Link app, you'll have access to vital information like speed, battery voltage, RPM, and temperature right at your fingertips. It's like having a virtual dashboard for your XRT.

5. Investing in Steel Driveshafts: Enhance your XRT's resilience with steel driveshafts that significantly improves the durability and reliability. 

These upgrades are crucial for navigating tough off-road conditions and ensuring uninterrupted enjoyment on the track for countless hours. Strength and minimal flex are paramount, making these enhancements essential for optimal performance.

6. Upgrading the XRT Shocks: Conquer even the roughest terrain with ease, when upgrading your shocks. 

We love using the formidable oil-filled aluminum medium-length GTX shocks. Their smooth damping performance ensures a silky ride over any obstacle. Featuring threaded aluminum shock bodies for effortless ride height adjustments using the spring retaining collar, these shocks offer both performance and convenience. The striking electroplated finish not only adds a touch of high-impact style to your XRT but also ensures that the shocks maintain a fresh appearance run after run.

7. Upgrading the Traxxas XRT Servo: Unlock greater torque for precise and responsive steering, particularly when navigating tricky terrain or executing daring maneuvers. 

Exciting, isn't it? Upgrading your servos not only enhances performance but also introduces improved durability and reliability, minimizing the likelihood of unexpected mishaps during intense RC sessions. Trust me, this upgrade isn't solely about performance; it's about optimizing your enjoyment and overall experience.
