Traxxas 1/16 Slash 4X4 RTR Short Course Truck (Mike Jenkins)

These Traxxas 1/16 Slash 4X4 bring full-size short course looks and handling to a compact, ready-to-run package. Pre-painted Race Replica ProGraphix bodywork, realistic tube-style bumpers, and a low-CG fiber-composite monocoque chassis give scale appearance and confident handling for beginners and experienced drivers alike.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — 1/16 scale pre-painted shell with applied decals for authentic short course race styling.
• Scale front and rear tube-style bumpers — realistic protection and correct short course proportions.
• Waterproof XL-2.5 ESC — waterproof design for wet runs and easy Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for instant tuning.
• Multiple ESC drive modes — Sport Mode (forward/brake/reverse), Race Mode (forward/brake), and patented Training Mode (50% forward/brake, 50% reverse) to suit new drivers or racers.
• High-capacity heat sink — helps manage ESC temperatures for longer drive sessions.
• LiPo and NiMH compatible — ESC includes two-stage low-voltage detection to support both pack types.
• Titan 12T 550 motor — 12-tooth 550 modified brushed motor with internal cooling fan and oversized armature for better torque and power handling.

• Includes battery and charger — 2-amp 12 V DC peak-detecting fast charger and a Traxxas iD battery so the truck is ready to run out of the box.
• Fiber-composite monocoque chassis — low center of gravity for improved handling, integrated skid plates protect the driveline, and all electronics are securely fastened.

• Inboard fully adjustable oil-filled GTR shocks — tunable damping with threaded pre-load collars and red powder-coated springs for consistent response.
• Pre-glued all-terrain tires — high-performance foam inserts and satin chrome 5-spoke beadlock-style wheels for traction and easy mounting.
