Traxxas Slash VXL Truck RTR Brushless (Hawaiian)

Traxxas Slash VXL Truck puts full-size short course styling and punchy brushless performance into a ready-to-run 1/10 package. Waterproof electronics, Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) and the TQi radio system make it easy to learn on and fast to drive; this model requires a battery and charger sold separately.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals for realistic short course looks.
• Scale dimensions and appearance — body and graphics mimic full-size short course trucks for a true-to-life presence on track.
• Chassis nerf bars — absorb impacts and help support the body during hard landings and side impacts.
• Scale front and rear tube-style bumpers — add authentic styling and protect the nose and tail during bashing.
• VXL-3s electronic speed control — powerful, brushless-compatible speed control with waterproof construction.
• ESC operating modes: Sport Mode (Forward / Brake / Reverse) and Race Mode (Forward / Brake) for more aggressive throttle response.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — quick, simple ESC configuration from the vehicle.
• Large heat sink on the ESC to manage temps under heavy use.
• Training Mode™ — patented 50% Forward/Brake and 50% Reverse limit for learner-friendly control.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo battery protection.
• Battery compatibility: accepts NiMH packs of 4–9 cells (4.8–10.8 volts) and many LiPo configurations of 2–3 cells (7.4–11.1 volts).
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — sensorless design tuned for 1/10 performance with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets.
• Motor details: precision-balanced rotor, efficient high-speed ball bearings and a low-maintenance Traxxas design; rated at 3500 kV.
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish on select components for visual contrast and corrosion resistance.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces while maintaining steering composure during throttle-on powerslides.
• TSM is adjustable from off to full assistance from the transmitter and does not dull the throttle response.
• TQi radio system — high-output 2-channel transmitter paired with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that offers fail-safe security and integrated telemetry ports.
• Radio expandable: compatible with the optional TQi Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) to unlock full Traxxas Link app functions (module sold separately).
• TQi convenience: auto-save for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models, a programmable multi-function knob, and adjustable steering/throttle dual rates, sensitivity (exponential) and end points.
• Patented waterproof receiver box to keep electronics dry in wet conditions.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — durable platform with a long 13.2" (335 mm) wheelbase for stability.
• Ground clearance: over 3.5" (89 mm) at center for rough terrain clearance.
• All electronics are securely fastened to the chassis for reliable mounting during heavy use.
• Easy-access battery compartment — adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat or hump packs and many 2S/3S LiPo pack configurations.
• Transmission and driveline — Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with Torque-Control slipper clutch for tunable engagement.
• Drivetrain details: 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 waterproof Traxxas 2075 steering servo combined with dual-bellcrank geometry and integrated servo saver.
• Suspension — adjustable steel turnbuckles 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 scale all-terrain tires with performance foam inserts mounted on 2" outer / 3" inner dual-profile SCT wheels.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain for smooth operation and longer service life.
• Precision hex hardware used where fit and strength matter.
• Backed by extensive Traxxas parts availability and factory support.
• Requires battery and charger (sold separately) — battery and charger are not included with this model.
