It's not really traction control, it just a power limiter in a way, as it just allows the clutch to slip before the wheels lose traction

Something interesting though is there is a stability control type thing. You can use a drift box to prevent your car from losing control

There are high-end radios that have traction control built into them.

Traction control is very easy to be made. But the hard part is buying/building the 4 wheel sensors...Then the only thing you need is a differential amplifier in order to feedback once one or more of the wheels spin significantly faster than the others.

But in an AWD RC car usually it's all 4 wheels that spin
So even with sensors, they would have nothing to compare speed to it wouldn't work

What would be awesome is something like Mitsubishi's S-AYC.
It would check throttle position, wheel sensors, steering position, G forces etc and it would start moving power front/rear and left/right to the wheel with the most grip
Amazing.

Well this can be done with piezo electric gyros...but I bet this will cost more than paying collari to teach you how to drive...lol
