Traxxas Slash VXL Truck RTR Brushless (Green)

The Traxxas Slash VXL Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck designed for drivers who want high-speed performance and dependable durability without a long setup. It pairs the VXL-3s waterproof speed control with a Velineon brushless motor and the TQi radio system for precise control on dirt, pavement, and track.
