Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL RTR Brushless (Blue)

The Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck that brings brushless speed and race-style handling to the backyard or track. Waterproof electronics, the Velineon 3500 motor and the VXL-3s speed control give strong, tunable power while the TQi radio with TSM helps keep the truck controllable on low-traction surfaces. This setup is great for intermediate drivers who want a durable, fast short course platform.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted finish with applied decals and scale proportions that match real short course race trucks.
• Chassis nerf bars and scale front/rear tube-style bumpers provide impact protection and body support during hard landings.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — sport and race modes with Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for quick configuration.
• Training Mode (patented) limits throttle and reverse to 50% for easier learning sessions.
• Large heat sink and built-in two-stage low-voltage detection protect the electronics and battery during hard runs.
• Compatible with NiMH packs (6–9 cells) and many 2s and 3s LiPo configurations for flexible power options.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and high-speed ball bearings for efficient, high-output performance.
• Blue-anodized finish on aluminum driveline components for corrosion resistance and a clean race look.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — helps with straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, preserves steering control during throttle-on slides, and is adjustable from off to full assistance at the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — 2-channel transmitter with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) offering fail-safe and telemetry ports.
• Receiver supports the optional Traxxas Link wireless module for app-based setup and stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models (module sold separately).
• Programmable multi-function knob plus adjustable steering/throttle percentage, sensitivity and end points for fine-tuning handling.
• Patented sealed receiver box keeps the electronics protected from water and debris.
• Tough fiber-composite modular chassis — modular design speeds maintenance and makes electronics access straightforward.
• Long 12.75" wheelbase for added on-track stability and predictable handling.
• Single-screw motor plate for easy motor access and secure mounting for all electronics.
• Easy access battery compartment — adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell flat packs and 7- and 8-cell hump packs; compartment dimensions: 165 mm x 49.5 mm x 23 mm / 25 mm.
• Transmission and driveline — full-time shaft-driven 4WD, blue-anodized aluminum center driveshaft and heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts.
• Torque-Control slipper clutch paired with large 32-pitch gearing for smooth power transfer and drivetrain protection.
• Sealed, silicone-filled differentials with hardened steel bevel gears for long life and consistent behavior.
• Steering — digital high-torque 2075 servo with a dual bellcrank system and integrated servo saver for responsive steering and protection against impacts.
• Suspension — captured rod ends that stay in place and steel turnbuckles for reliable adjustability.
• Springs and shocks — fully tunable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and race-tuned progressive-rate, white powder-coated springs.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued scale all-terrain tires with performance foam inserts mounted on dual-profile SCT wheels (2" OD, 3" ID).
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain for smoother operation and reduced wear.
• Precision hex hardware for secure, accurate assembly and easy maintenance.
• Backed by Traxxas parts availability and support for long-term ownership.
• Requires battery and charger (sold separately) — truck does not include battery or charger.
