Traxxas Drag Slash RTR Brushless (Red)

The Traxxas Drag Slash is a purpose-built 1/10 drag and on-road car that puts Traxxas drag technology into a licensed Chevrolet C10 body. Ready-to-run with a high-output TQi radio, Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) and a Velineon brushless motor, it’s tuned for hard launches, consistent runs, and precise control on low-traction surfaces.

Key Features

• Durable ProGraphix® finish gives the C10 body a tough, race-ready surface that stands up to repeated hits and handling.
• Officially licensed Chevrolet® C10 body reproduces the classic truck lines while trimming drag with a deeply recessed bed that recreates the tubbed look.
• Available in six rich metallic colors, with this listing in Red for a show-ready appearance.
• High-performance injection-molded rear wing provides traction-enhancing downforce for straighter, more stable runs.
• Injection-molded bi-level grille adds accurate styling and aero function to reduce turbulence.
• LED-ready headlight surrounds let you add lighting without body modification.
• Body shape and smooth underside reduce drag and turbulence for cleaner airflow at speed.
• VXL-3s12; waterproof electronic speed control with Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for quick programming on the track.
• Multiple ESC modes: Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake) and patented Training Mode for limited throttle control.
• High-efficiency heat sink on the ESC helps manage temperatures during repeated passes.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection protects different battery chemistries during use.
• Compatible battery types listed for clear fit: NiMH packs (6-9 cells) and LiPo packs (2-3 cells).
• Velineon® 3500 kV brushless motor uses ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and high-speed bearings for efficient, high-rpm performance.
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish on key components for both looks and corrosion resistance.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, adjustable from off to full assistance from the transmitter, with a Drag Race Mode to disable TSM where required.
• TQi12; 2.4 GHz high-output radio system with a 3-channel transmitter and a patented waterproof receiver box for reliable signal in harsh conditions.
• Trans Brake switch for lightning-fast, consistent launches off the line.
• 5-channel micro receiver (6533) includes fail-safe security and integrated telemetry ports for real-time data.
• Compatible with the optional TQi Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) to access full app functionality and store settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models.
• Programmable multi-function knob and adjustable steering/throttle percentage, sensitivity (exponential) and end points for fine tuning control response.
• Low Center of Gravity (Low CG) chassis positions weight low for improved stability, includes an adjustable battery hold down and a smooth underside that reduces drag.
• Chassis-mounted front bumper provides added protection during launches and ground contact.
• All-new Magnum 272R transmission with a redesigned heavy-duty low-CG case, 3.2 mm aluminum motor plate and case-supported bearings for reliable power delivery.
• Fixed gear mesh, high-strength steel gears and a sealed bevel-gear differential with easy access for maintenance.
• Drivetrain features modified extreme-duty driveshafts and a Torque Control slipper clutch for consistent engagement under high power.
• Extended wheelie bar with five-position adjustability and reinforced double-ladder construction; both large and small wheels are included so you can refine launch tuning.
• Steering uses a chassis-mounted 2075 digital high-torque waterproof servo with dual-bellcrank steering and an integrated servo saver for responsive, protected steering input.
• High-performance suspension includes 4 mm adjustable steel turnbuckles and heavy-duty captured links that won’t pop off during hard launches.
• Drag-Tuned Ultra Shocks12; fully adjustable, oil-filled with X-ring technology, stiffer springs and silicone oil for improved traction plus custom bump stops for firm ride control.
• Replica Mickey Thompson styling on the wheels and tires for authentic drag appearance.
• Replica Weld wheels deliver a classic look while a unique rubber compound balances long life with strong grip.
• Molded high-density tire foam and a webbed inner structure add durability and consistent tire performance pass after pass.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout reduce friction and increase drivetrain efficiency.
• Precision hex hardware is used for secure assembly and easy maintenance.
• Backed by Traxxas support and wide parts availability to keep the car running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger (sold separately) so plan your power system before you run.
