Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL RTR Brushless (Red)

The Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck designed for high-speed runs, aggressive bashing and track use. Waterproof VXL-3s electronics, a Velineon 3500 motor and the TQi radio system give you reliable power, precise control and adjustable stability for loose surfaces.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted with applied decals for a scale race-truck look; chassis nerf bars and tube-style front and rear bumpers protect the body and absorb impacts.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — selectable Sport Mode (forward/brake/reverse) and Race Mode (forward/brake) with Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for fast programming.
• Training Mode (patented) — limits throttle and reverse to 50% for calm learning sessions and controlled practice laps.
• Built-in low-voltage detection — two-stage protection for rechargeable packs to help preserve battery life under heavy use.
• Battery pack compatibility — supports NiMH packs (6–9 cells) and LiPo pack configurations (2–3 cells) for flexible power choices.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — uses ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and high-speed ball bearings for efficient, high-RPM performance.
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish on aluminum components for corrosion resistance and a race-ready look.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, maintains steering composure during throttle-on powerslides and can be adjusted from off to full assist at the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — 2-channel transmitter paired with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that includes fail-safe, integrated telemetry ports and a programmable multi-function knob.
• Traxxas Link compatible — receiver stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models and works with the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) for in-app tuning (module sold separately).
• Tough fiber-composite modular chassis — modular layout speeds maintenance, with a long 12.75" wheelbase for improved stability and single-screw motor-plate access for quick motor service.
• Easy access battery compartment — adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell flat packs and 7- and 8-cell hump packs; internal compartment dimensions: 165 mm x 49.5 mm x 23 mm / 25 mm.
• Full-time shaft-driven 4WD — blue-anodized aluminum center driveshaft and heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts deliver smooth power to all wheels.
• Torque-Control slipper clutch — large 32-pitch gearing protects the drivetrain while allowing tuning for traction and power delivery.
• Sealed silicone-filled differentials — hardened steel bevel gears provide reliable limited-slip action and long service life.
• Digital high-torque 2075 waterproof steering servo — paired with a dual bellcrank steering system that includes an integrated servo saver for lasting steering performance.
• Adjustable suspension — steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends prevent pop-offs and allow precise geometry setup.
• Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology — fully adjustable oil-filled shocks with race-tuned progressive-rate, white powder-coated springs for predictable damping and control.
• Pre-glued scale all-terrain tires — fitted to dual-profile SCT wheels (2" outer diameter, 3" inner diameter) and mounted with performance foam inserts for traction and compliance.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings — reduce friction across the drivetrain for efficient power transfer and smoother wheel spin.
• Precision hex hardware — factory-fitted fasteners for accurate assembly and easy servicing.
• Backed by Traxxas support and parts availability — wide aftermarket and replacement network keeps this truck serviceable for years.
• Requires battery and charger — sold separately; select packs and chargers to match your driving style and desired top speed.
