Traxxas Slash VXL Truck RTR Brushless 1/10 (Blue)

Traxxas Slash VXL Truck brings full-size short course looks and brushless acceleration to a compact 1/10 package. This RTR truck pairs the Velineon brushless motor and VXL-3s speed control with the TQi radio system and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) so you can get on track fast, while still dialing in driver aids for low-traction surfaces. The kit ships without battery or charger so plan to add those before the first run.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted with applied decals for authentic short course styling and scale dimensions.
• Chassis nerf bars absorb impacts and help support the body during rough landings.
• Scale front and rear tube-style bumpers for the race truck appearance and added protection.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — includes Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for easy programming and a large heat sink for better cooling.
• VXL-3s drive modes — Sport Mode (forward/brake/reverse), Race Mode (forward/brake) and Training Mode (50% forward/brake and 50% reverse) for step-up learning and track tuning.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries to help protect battery life during use.
• Battery compatibility — runs 4–9 cell NiMH packs (4.8–10.8 volts) or many 2s and 3s LiPo configurations.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — sensorless design using ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and high-speed ball bearings for efficient, high-rev power (3500 kV).
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish on select components for looks and corrosion resistance.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, keeps steering composed for throttle-on powerslides, does not dull throttle, and is adjustable from off to 100% from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — includes a TQi 2-channel transmitter and 5-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe and integrated telemetry ports.
• TQi features — compatible with the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) for full app control, stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models, programmable multi-function knob, adjustable dual rates, expo and end points.
• Patented waterproof receiver box to protect the radio gear from wet runs.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — long 13.2" wheelbase for added stability and over 3.5" of ground clearance for rough terrain.
• All electronics fastened to chassis for secure mounting during hard driving.
• Easy access battery compartment with adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat or hump packs and many 2s/3s LiPo layouts.
• Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with Torque-Control slipper clutch and a planetary differential using a steel ring gear for durable power transfer.
• Sealed gearbox and beefed-up motor guard — protects internals and provides an external gear cover for easy clutch access.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for long service life under hard use.
• Digital high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2075 steering servo paired with dual-bellcrank steering and an integrated servo saver for dependable steering control.
• Adjustable steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends that won’t pop off to keep suspension geometry where you set it.
• Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for consistent damping and handling.
• Pre-glued scale all-terrain tires with performance foam inserts on dual-profile SCT wheels (2" outer diameter, 3" inner diameter) for predictable traction and handling.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings and precision hex hardware for smooth drivetrain operation and secure assembly.
• Backed by Traxxas parts availability and support to keep the truck running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger (sold separately) — the truck does not include battery or charger.
