Traxxas Slash VXL Truck RTR Brushless (Fox)

The Traxxas Slash VXL Truck arrives RTR with a brushless Velineon motor, the VXL-3s speed control, and the TQi radio system so you can get on the track right away. It’s a 1/10 short course truck tuned for strong acceleration, predictable handling, and straightforward setup — a good fit for intermediate drivers who want both bashing and track performance.

Key Features

• Race Replica ProGraphix Painted Body — Pre-painted shell with applied decals for realistic short course scale looks; nerf bars built into the chassis help absorb impacts and support the body, and it includes scale front and rear tube-style bumpers.
• VXL-3s Waterproof Electronic Speed Control — Three driving modes: Sport (forward / brake / reverse), Race (forward / brake) and Training Mode (patented 50% forward / brake / 50% reverse). Setup is one-button with Traxxas EZ-Set and the ESC has a large heat sink plus built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries.
• Battery Compatibility — VXL-3s supports NiMH packs (6–9 cells, 7.2–10.8 volts) and LiPo packs (2–3 cells, 7.4–11.1 volts); uses Traxxas High-Current battery connector.
• Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor — High-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and efficient ball bearings for consistent high-speed performance; rated at 3500 kV.
• Brilliant Blue-Anodized Finish — Key aluminum components get a corrosion-resistant blue finish for looks and lasting surface protection.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Electronic stability assist improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, preserves steering control during throttle-on slides, and is adjustable from off to 100% from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz High Output Radio System — Includes TQi 2-channel transmitter and a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe and telemetry ports; programmable multi-function knob, adjustable steering/throttle percentage and sensitivity, and the system stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models (Traxxas Link module sold separately).
• Tough Fiber-Composite Monocoque Chassis — Long 13.2" wheelbase for stability and electronics mounted securely to the chassis; center ground clearance is 3.5" for obstacle clearance.
• Adjustable Suspension — Steel turnbuckles for fine steering alignment and captured rod ends that resist popping off during hard use.
• Magnum 272R Transmission — Redesigned low-CG heavy-duty case with a 3.2 mm aluminum motor plate, case-supported bearings, fixed gear mesh, high-strength steel gears, a sealed bevel-gear differential, and easy differential access for maintenance.
• Driveline — Torque-Control slipper clutch and heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts with yokes to handle high power and impacts.
• Steering — Digital high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2075 steering servo with dual-bellcrank steering and an integrated servo saver for reliable control.
• Springs and Shocks — Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs to tune ride and 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) for traction and predictable behavior on mixed surfaces.
• Bearings & Hardware — Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout and precision hex hardware for reliable assembly and long life.
• Support & Parts Availability — Backed by Traxxas parts support for repairs and upgrades.
• Requires Battery and Charger — Truck does not include battery or charger; battery and charger are required to operate.
