Traxxas celebrates an off-road legend. Fifty years ago, Bob Chandler created BIGFOOT, the first-ever Monster Truck in history. This legendary vehicle gave rise to a spectacular discipline that has become a cult favorite, particularly in the United States.
To mark this anniversary, Traxxas is unveiling an exceptional model: the X-Monster BIGFOOT 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition. An ultra-limited series, with only 1,975 numbered models produced, designed for both driving enthusiasts and collectors.

In the video below, we present this Monster Truck RC, its level of finish, its technical characteristics, and what makes it so special compared to a classic X-Maxx.
A faithful tribute to the original BIGFOOT
This X-Monster BIGFOOT 50th Anniversary is based on the proven platform of the Traxxas X-Maxx, the global benchmark in the high-end Monster RC Trucks segment.
For this special edition, Traxxas has taken the level of finish to new heights: gold anodized parts (wheels, bumpers, transmission components), a special black ESC case, and a black glitter body with exclusive graphics.
The body, made of 2 mm thick polycarbonate, features the practical and discreet clipless Traxxas mounting system.
A genuine numbered collector's item
What makes this model truly unique are its laser-engraved aluminum plates.
Each BIGFOOT 50th Anniversary features:
- a numbered plate visible when the box is opened
- a plate on the body
- a plate on the chassis
The serial number corresponds to one of the 1,975 units produced, a direct nod to the year the original BIGFOOT was created.
Please note: the gold parts specific to this edition will not be available for sale separately.
Performance to match the legend
Under the bodywork is an impressive configuration:
- Velineon brushless 1275 kV motor
- 8S power supply (2 x 4S batteries)
- VXL controller with TSM technology Traxxas
- Traxxas 2085XL all-metal servo, 44 kg torque
With the included Gear option, this Monster Truck can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h, despite its oversized dimensions.
The huge 8.6-inch Terragroove tires feature internal reinforcement to limit deformation at high speeds.
Impressive dimensions and character
- Length: Approximately 80 cm
- Weight: just under 9 kg
- Ground clearance: over 10 cm
This BIGFOOT 50th Anniversary is as impressive to drive as it is to look at. It commands respect as soon as it comes out of the box.

Whatever you decide, you own an exceptional RC Monster Truck, designed to make model-making history.
