Traxxas Slash 4X4 Truck Platinum RTR Brushless

Traxxas Slash 4X4 Truck Platinum is a ready-to-run 1/10 short-course truck that pairs Velineon brushless power with a waterproof speed control for high-speed bashing and track duty. It’s built for drivers who want stable, predictable handling from a low-CG monocoque chassis without a long setup process.

Key Features

• Blue-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum upgrade parts — C-hubs, steering blocks, rear hub carriers and axle nuts are all metal-upgrades that reduce flex and improve durability under heavy use.
• Race-replica clear body — Includes decals and window masking for scale looks; body has the dimensions and styling of true short course race trucks and needs polycarbonate paint (sold separately).
• Chassis nerf bars and scale front and rear tube-style bumpers that absorb impact and support the body during hard landings and rollovers.
• VXL-3s™ waterproof electronic speed control — Offers Sport Mode (Forward / Brake / Reverse), Race Mode (Forward / Brake), and patented Training Mode (50% Forward / Brake / 50% Reverse), plus Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup and a large heat sink for consistent cooling.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries and support for NiMH packs from 4 to 9 cells (4.8 to 10.8 volts).
• Sealed electronics and compatibility with LiPo battery packs of 2–3 cells (7.4 to 11.1 volts) for high-performance setups.
• Velineon brushless motor — Ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, efficient high-speed ball bearings, a precision-balanced rotor and a 3500kV rating give strong top-end and efficient power delivery, with a brilliant blue-anodized finish.
• Low-CG reinforced monocoque chassis — Keeps batteries and electronics low for better handling and corner speed, and the modular layout makes maintenance fast and straightforward.
• Long 12.75" wheelbase for increased high-speed stability and predictable handling through turns.
• Single-screw motor plate for easy motor access and quick servicing of the drivetrain.
• All electronics are securely fastened to the chassis and there’s an integrated personal transponder mount for track use.
• Easy-access battery compartment with an adjustable battery hold-down that accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat packs and many 2S and 3S LiPo battery configurations.
• Transmission and driveline — Full-time shaft-driven 4WD with a sealed silicone-filled center differential for consistent power distribution.
• Anodized aluminum center driveshaft and Torque-Control™ slipper clutch paired with large 32-pitch gearing for durable power transfer and adjustable drivetrain slip.
