Traxxas Slash XL-5 RTR 1/10 2WD (Green)

The Traxxas Slash XL-5 gives you a 1/10 short-course truck with the parts and electronics already in place. It comes fully assembled, runs 2WD, and includes front and rear LED lighting plus a pre-painted ProGraphix body with applied decals.

This truck uses a Titan 12T 550 brushed motor, a waterproof XL-5 speed control, and Traxxas' Training Mode for easier throttle control. The included 3000 mAh 8.4V 7-cell NiMH battery and 4-amp DC peak-detecting fast charger make it a complete RTR package, and Traxxas quotes 30+ mph with the included battery and 23-tooth pinion gear.
