Traxxas Slash VXL Truck RTR Brushless (Fox)

The Traxxas Slash VXL Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck designed for high-speed bashing and weekend racing. It combines the waterproof VXL-3s speed control, Velineon 3500 brushless motor and the TQi radio with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) for controlled power delivery and simple setup. This RTR is a great fit for beginners and experienced drivers who want durable, race-capable performance; note it requires battery and charger.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted with applied decals for an authentic short course look.
• Scale dimensions and appearance — body matches the proportions and detailing of full-size short course trucks.
• Chassis nerf bars — absorb impacts and support the body during rough driving.
• Front and rear tube-style bumpers — realistic styling that also protects the nose and tail.
• VXL-3s Waterproof Electronic Speed Control — smooth brushless control, built for wet and muddy conditions.
• ESC operation modes: Sport (forward/brake/reverse) and Race (forward/brake) for track tuning.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — quick, no-fuss programming from the transmitter.
• Training Mode (patented) — 50% forward/brake and 50% reverse option to ease new drivers into full power.
• Large heat sink on the ESC to help keep temps in check during hard runs.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for safe operation with LiPo packs.
• Battery compatibility: accepts NiMH packs from 4–9 cells (4.8–10.8 volts).
• Battery compatibility: accepts LiPo packs in many 2s and 3s configurations (7.4–11.1 volts).
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — sensorless design tuned for 1/10 scale speed and efficiency.
• Motor internals: ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets and a precision-balanced rotor for consistent performance.
• Low-maintenance Traxxas motor design with efficient high-speed ball bearings.
• Blue-anodized finish on key components for corrosion resistance and a clean look.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces while maintaining steering composure for throttle-on powerslides; assistance is adjustable from off to 100% from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — includes a 2-channel transmitter for responsive steering and throttle control.
• 5-channel micro receiver (6533) — fail-safe security and integrated telemetry ports for data logging and optional Traxxas Link features.
• Compatible with the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module for full app control and model management.
• Transmitter features: programmable multi-function knob, adjustable steering/throttle percentage (dual rates), exponential sensitivity, and adjustable end points.
• Patented waterproof receiver box to protect electronics from moisture and debris.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — long 13.2" wheelbase for stability and secure mounting for all electronics.
• Over 3.5 inches of ground clearance to handle rough terrain and jumps.
• Easy-access battery compartment with an adjustable battery hold down to suit common pack shapes (accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat or hump packs).
• Transmission and driveline — Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with Torque-Control slipper clutch, planetary differential with steel ring gear, sealed gearbox with beefed up motor guard, external gear cover for easy clutch access, and heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes.
• Steering — digital high-torque Traxxas 2075 steering servo and dual-bellcrank steering with integrated servo saver for precise, protected steering input.
• Suspension — threaded steel turnbuckles for tuning and captured rod ends that resist popping off during hard use.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued, race-style 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 smooth operation.
• Precision hex hardware used on critical connections for reliable assembly and easy maintenance.
• Backed by Traxxas support and parts availability to keep the truck running season after season.
