Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL RTR Brushless (Orange)

Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck built for fast laps and backyard bashing. It pairs brushless Velineon power with the VXL-3s speed control and TQi radio system, giving you strong acceleration, programmable control and stability aids for low-traction surfaces. The truck’s modular fiber-composite chassis and easy-access battery bay make service and setup straightforward so you spend more time driving.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted with applied decals for scale looks that match real short course trucks; includes chassis nerf bars and scale front and rear tube-style bumpers for added protection.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — selectable Sport, Race and Training modes with Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup and a large heat sink to manage temps.
• Training Mode (patented) — limits throttle and reverse to 50% for learner-friendly control while you teach driving basics.
• Built-in low-voltage detection — two-stage protection for lithium battery packs to protect battery health during runs.
• Battery compatibility — supports NiMH packs (6–9 cells) and 2- and 3-cell lithium battery configurations for flexibility in power and runtime.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — high-efficiency, sensorless design with sintered neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and high-speed ball bearings for strong acceleration and long life.
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish — eye-catching anodizing used on select aluminum parts for corrosion resistance and style.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, keeps steering composed during throttle-on slides, and is adjustable from off to full assist at the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — 2-channel transmitter with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that includes fail-safe, telemetry ports and a patented watertight receiver box.
• Traxxas Link compatible — receiver stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models and works with the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module to access full app features (module sold separately).
• Programmable controls — multi-function knob plus adjustable steering/throttle percentage and sensitivity so you can tune handling without opening the truck.
• Tough fiber-composite modular chassis — modular layout speeds maintenance, secures electronics neatly and gives easy motor access with a single-screw motor plate.
• Long wheelbase — 12.75" wheelbase enhances at-speed stability for high-speed runs and smoother cornering.
• Easy access battery compartment — adjustable battery hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell flat packs and 7- and 8-cell hump packs; compartment internal size: 165 mm x 49.5 mm x 23/25 mm.
• Accepts 2-cell and 3-cell lithium packs — built to work with common multi-cell lithium configurations for higher performance when desired.
• Transmission and driveline — full-time shaft-driven 4WD with a blue-anodized aluminum center driveshaft, Torque-Control slipper clutch and large 32-pitch gearing for durable power transfer.
• Sealed power diffs — silicone-filled, sealed differentials with hardened steel bevel gears for consistent performance under load.
• Heavy-duty U-joint driveshafts — telescoping U-joints handle suspension travel and impacts.
• Robust steering — digital high-torque 2075 servo paired with a dual bellcrank steering system and integrated servo saver for precise, protected steering input.
• Durable suspension components — steel turnbuckles for alignment tuning and captured rod ends that resist popping out during heavy use.
• Fully tunable shocks — oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for consistent damping and improved control.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued scale all-terrain tires on dual-profile SCT wheels (2" outer diameter, 3" inner diameter) with performance foam inserts for grip and stability.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings — reduce friction at the drivetrain and suspension pivots for smoother operation and longer service life.
• Precision hex hardware — machined fasteners for reliable assembly and easier maintenance.
• Traxxas support and parts availability — backed by widespread replacement parts and support for easy repairs and upgrades.
• Requires battery and charger — battery and charger are sold separately so you can pick the pack and charging option that fits your driving style.
