The Traxxas Maxx Slash is a fully assembled RTR 1/10-scale 4WD brushless electric short course racing truck built around Traxxas’ VXL-6s waterproof electronic speed control and Velineon 4-pole 2000 Kv brushless motor. It delivers full-time shaft-driven four-wheel drive, a low-CG modular chassis design, and factory-installed electronics that make it a serious ready-to-drive platform for short course racing and high-speed running.
This truck is also set up to keep the fun going when conditions turn wet. The waterproof speed control, sealed driveline, and Traxxas Stability Management work together to support confident driving on low-traction surfaces, while the TQi 2.4 GHz radio system with Traxxas Link keeps the controls and telemetry features in one place. The radio system automatically stores and loads settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models—just switch on and drive, and model selection is not required.
70+ mph speed potential is available with optional gearing and two 3S LiPo batteries sold separately, giving the Maxx Slash a serious top-end range when set up for maximum pace. The fixed-mesh motor cradle supports the full length of the motor to help reduce flex at the gear mesh area, and the torque-biasing center drive is housed in aluminum to absorb shocks and distribute power through the driveline.
