Traxxas Slash XL-5 Truck RTR TQ Radio (Orange)

Traxxas Slash XL-5 Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course that brings race-style looks and simple setup to drivers of all levels. Waterproof electronics, a torquey Titan 12T 550 brushed motor, and the included battery and fast charger mean you can start driving out of the box.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted with applied decals to match short course race trucks and give a realistic look right out of the box.
• Scale details — chassis nerf bars and scale front and rear tube-style bumpers protect the shell and preserve the truck’s race appearance.
• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — waterproof design for wet conditions and three driving modes: Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake) and Training Mode (50% forward/reverse) with simple Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup.
• Battery compatibility and protection — XL-5 works with NiMH and LiPo packs and includes two-stage low-voltage detection for safer battery management.
• Titan 12T 550 brushed motor — internal cooling fan and oversized armature deliver strong torque and dependable, low-maintenance power.
• Molded wire retainer — keeps motor leads tidy and out of the way for reliable connections.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna for a compact feel and predictable control.
• Traxxas 6519 micro receiver — three-channel micro receiver with fail-safe security mounted inside a watertight receiver box to protect it from moisture.
• Includes battery and charger — comes with a Traxxas NiMH flight-pack and a 4-amp peak-detecting fast charger for quick turnaround between runs.
• Tough fiber-composite modular chassis — service-friendly layout with a long 12.75" wheelbase for stable handling and easy access to components using a single-screw motor plate.
• Easy access battery compartment — adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat or hump packs and 2-cell LiPo packs for flexible battery choices.
• Full-time shaft-driven 4WD — durable driveline delivers consistent traction and control across rough surfaces.
• Torque-Control slipper clutch — protects gears and tunes drivetrain engagement with large 32-pitch gearing.
• Silicone-filled differentials — limited-slip action using hardened steel bevel gears for long life and consistent performance.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts — handle suspension travel and rough landings while maintaining drivetrain alignment.
• Waterproof Traxxas 2056 steering servo — high-torque, weather-resistant servo combined with a dual bellcrank steering system and integrated servo saver for predictable steering and impact protection.
• Maintenance-reducing suspension — solid camber links remove the need for routine camber adjustment and captured rod ends resist popping off under load.
• Adjustable Ultra Shocks — oil-filled, X-ring sealed shocks with fully adjustable damping and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for controlled landings and consistent handling.
• Pre-glued scale tires and SCT wheels — all-terrain tires come pre-glued with performance foam inserts mounted on 2" outer / 3" inner dual-profile SCT wheels for good traction and tire support.
• Rubber-shielded ball bearings — reduce friction and extend drivetrain life.
• Precision hex hardware — quality fasteners for secure assembly and easier maintenance.
• Full parts and support network — backed by wide parts availability and Traxxas support for repairs and upgrades.
