Traxxas Slash VXL Truck RTR Brushless (Orange)

The Traxxas Slash VXL Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck built for high-speed bashing and precise control. Its brushless Velineon motor, VXL-3s speed control and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) combine to deliver strong acceleration and stable handling on low-traction surfaces.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body with applied decals for authentic short course styling.
• Scale dimensions and looks that mirror full-size short course race trucks.
• Chassis nerf bars absorb impact and support the body during hard hits.
• Scale front and rear tube-style bumpers for realistic protection.
• VXL-3s waterproof brushless electronic speed control with a large heat sink for consistent cooling under load.
• Selectable drive modes: Sport (Forward / Brake / Reverse), Race (Forward / Brake), and Training Mode that limits throttle and reverse to 50% for learning control.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup makes binding and basic tuning fast and easy.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection to protect LiPo packs during use.
• Compatible with NiMH packs from 4 to 9 cells (4.8 to 10.8 volts) and accepts many 2s and 3s LiPo battery configurations (7.4 to 11.1 volts).
• Velineon 3500 sensorless brushless motor using ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets and a precision-balanced rotor for efficient, high-power output.
• Motor optimized for 1/10 scale performance with efficient high-speed ball bearings and a low-maintenance design; rated at 3500 kV for aggressive acceleration.
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish on select components for corrosion resistance and appearance.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) improves straight-line acceleration and braking on slippery surfaces while preserving steering feel for throttle-on powerslides.
• TSM does not dull throttle response and can be adjusted from off to full assistance from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz 2-channel transmitter paired with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that includes fail-safe and integrated telemetry ports.
• Compatible with the optional TQi Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) to access the Traxxas Link app; automatically stores and loads settings for up to 30 Link-enabled models.
• Programmable multi-function knob plus programmable dual rates, exponential and adjustable end points for both steering and throttle.
• Patented sealed receiver box protects the receiver and wiring from water and dirt.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis with a long 13.2" wheelbase for increased stability and over 3.5" of center ground clearance.
• All electronics are securely fastened to the chassis for dependable on-track durability.
• Easy-access battery compartment with an adjustable hold down that accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat or hump packs; compartment dimensions: 165 mm x 49.5 mm x 23 mm, 25 mm.
• Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission for durable power transfer.
• Torque-Control slipper clutch system to tune traction and drivetrain protection.
• Planetary gear differential with a steel ring gear for reliable gear engagement.
• Sealed gearbox with a beefed-up motor guard and an external gear cover for easy clutch access and service.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for long-lasting driveline performance.
• Digital high-torque Traxxas 2075 steering servo that is water-resistant and responsive.
• Dual-bellcrank steering with an integrated servo saver to protect steering components.
• Adjustable steel turnbuckles for fine steering geometry tuning.
• Captured rod ends that won't pop off during hard driving.
• Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology for smooth damping and extended seal life.
• Race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for predictable handling and rebound.
• Pre-glued scale all-terrain tires mounted on dual-profile SCT wheels with performance foam inserts.
• Wheels measure approximately 2" outer diameter and 3" inner diameter.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain and wheel hubs for smoother, low-maintenance operation.
• Precision hex hardware used across suspension and chassis for reliable fastener retention.
• Backed by Traxxas parts availability and support.
• Requires battery and charger (sold separately).
