Traxxas Slash Truck RTR 1/10 Short Course (Red)

The Traxxas Slash Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck that gets you on the course or in the backyard without fuss. It comes with waterproof XL-5 electronics, a Titan 12T 550 motor, and the battery plus fast charger, so beginners and experienced drivers can start driving the day it arrives. The truck's scale body and stout chassis are built to handle rough landings and real short course looks.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted with applied decals to reproduce the dimensions and appearance of real short course race trucks, including chassis nerf bars that absorb impacts and scale front and rear tube-style bumpers.
• High-performance waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — waterproof construction for wet runs; selectable Sport, Race and patented Training Mode (50% forward/brake and 50% reverse) for easy tuning of handling and power delivery.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — quick and simple ESC setup with built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for both NiMH and LiPo battery types.
• Titan 12T 550 motor — modified high-speed brushed 550 motor with internal cooling fan, oversized armature for strong torque and increased power handling, virtually maintenance-free operation, and a molded wire retainer to keep leads secure.
• Includes battery and charger — comes with a Traxxas 3000 mAh 7-cell NiMH battery with iD and a 4-amp 12 V DC peak-detecting fast charger for quick turnarounds between sessions.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna, Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe security, and a patented O-ring sealed watertight receiver box to keep the receiver dry.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — long 13.2" wheelbase for stable handling, over 3.5" ground clearance for rough terrain, and all electronics mounted securely to the chassis for protection during hard driving.
• Easy access battery compartment — adjustable battery hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell flat packs, 7-cell hump packs, and many 2S LiPo configurations for flexible power options.
• Transmission and driveline — brushless-ready Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission, Torque-Control slipper clutch system, planetary differential with steel ring gear, sealed gearbox with beefed-up motor guard, and an external gear cover for easy slipper access.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes — built to withstand hard landings and aggressive driving.
• Steering — digital high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2075 steering servo combined with a bellcrank system that reduces bump steer for precise cornering.
• Suspension — adjustable steel turnbuckles with captured rod ends that won’t pop off for dependable linkage security.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for controlled rebound and consistent performance.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued scale all-terrain tires with performance foam inserts mounted on dual-profile SCT wheels (2" outer diameter, 3" inner diameter) for traction across varied surfaces.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings — reduce friction and improve drivetrain efficiency.
• Precision hex hardware — properly sized fasteners for secure assembly and easy maintenance.
• Support and parts availability — backed by Traxxas parts network for long-term service and spare components.
