Traxxas Slash VXL Truck RTR Brushless

The Traxxas Slash VXL Truck puts brushless speed and stability into a 1/10 short course package. It ships ready-to-run with the TQi radio and Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) so you can get on track faster; waterproof electronics and a rugged monocoque chassis keep the truck running through rough sessions.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals for authentic short course looks and scale dimensions.
• Scale tube-style bumpers — front and rear tube bumpers protect the shell and keep the styling race-accurate.
• Chassis nerf bars — absorb impacts and support the body during hard hits and landings.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — offers Sport, Race and Training modes, Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup, large heat sink, and built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo packs.
• ESC modes — Sport Mode (forward/brake/reverse), Race Mode (forward/brake), and Training Mode (patented 50% forward/brake and 50% reverse) for step-up learning and track tuning.
• Battery compatibility (ESC) — supports NiMH packs from 4–9 cells and LiPo packs in 2–3 cell configurations.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — high-output sensorless motor with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor, and efficient high-speed ball bearings for strong power in 1/10 scale.
• 3500 kV rating — motor tuned for quick acceleration and top-end speed in short course setups.
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish — visual detail on select aluminum components for a race-ready look.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, keeps steering composed for throttle-on powerslides, doesn’t reduce throttle, and is adjustable from off to 100% from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — two-channel transmitter with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that includes fail-safe security, integrated telemetry ports and a patented waterproof receiver box.
• TQi features — compatible with the optional Traxxas Link wireless module (6511), stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models, programmable multi-function knob, adjustable steering/throttle percentage (dual rates), exponential and adjustable end points.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — long 13.2" wheelbase for stability, more than 3.5" center ground clearance, and a layout that secures all electronics to the chassis.
• Easy-access battery compartment — adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat or hump packs and fits many 2s and 3s LiPo configurations.
• Transmission and driveline — Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with Torque-Control slipper clutch, planetary gear differential with steel ring gear, sealed gearbox and 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 with dual-bellcrank steering and integrated servo saver for responsive control and impact protection.
• Suspension — adjustable steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends designed to stay on under hard driving.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for predictable handling.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued scale all-terrain tires with performance foam inserts mounted on dual-profile SCT wheels (2" outer diameter, 3" inner diameter).
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings — reduce friction and improve drivetrain longevity.
• Precision hex hardware — factory-fitted fasteners for secure assembly and easier maintenance.
• Backed by Traxxas support and wide parts availability to keep your truck running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger — the truck needs a battery and charger, which are sold separately.
