Traxxas Maxx Slash RTR 6S (Green)

Traxxas Maxx Slash is a ready-to-run 1/8 short course truck built for serious bashing and track days. It pairs the VXL-6s waterproof speed control with the Velineon 4-pole 2000Kv motor and a TQi radio system to deliver high top speed, crisp control and real-time telemetry for drivers who want performance out of the box. Recommended skill level 4 for drivers comfortable with high-speed setups and tuning.

Key Features

• VXL-6s Waterproof Electronic Speed Control — 6S-capable speed control with a built-in cooling fan for sustained runs and long life.
• Real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link for on-the-fly data and tuning from your phone or tablet.
• Three LED status indicators for quick system checks at a glance.
• Powered accessory ports to run lights, pumps or other accessories without extra wiring hacks.

• Integrated protection circuits that guard the electronics from common faults.
• Velineon Brushless Motor — 4-pole 2000Kv sensorless motor tuned for high RPM and strong acceleration.
• 5 mm output shaft and Traxxas 6.5 mm bullet motor connectors for secure power transfer.
• Finned motor can improves heat dissipation under sustained loads.
• Fixed-mesh motor cradle supports the full motor length to cut flex and extend gear life.
• 70+ mph potential — capable of 70+ mph with optional gearing and two 3S batteries (optional items sold separately).
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — helps maintain straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces without dulling throttle response; adjustable from off to full assistance from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz High Output Radio System — two-channel transmitter with Traxxas Link compatibility for model management and telemetry display.
• Includes a 2.4 GHz five-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe and integrated telemetry ports.
• Transmitter stores and auto-loads settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models so you can switch rigs quickly.
• Programmable multi-function knob plus adjustable steering/throttle percentage (dual rates), sensitivity (expo) and end points for dialing handling.
• Clipless Body — quick, secure fitment with managed airflow to improve high-speed stability and a rigid internal frame for added strength.
• Additional nerf bar side support and molded reinforcements to resist tear-through; eliminates body posts and clips for clean looks and easy access.
• Driveline — full-time shaft-driven 4WD with a torque-biasing center drive that absorbs impact and evens power distribution in an aluminum housing.
• Sealed, silicone fluid-filled differentials with large-module ring and pinion gears for consistent performance and long life.
• Steel pinion and spur gear plus a heavy-duty Cush Drive to handle high torque and blunt impacts.
• Steel-core hybrid telescoping driveshafts and a splined aluminum center driveshaft for dependable power transfer under load.
• Modular Low-CG Composite Chassis — extended modular design interlocks with front and rear bulkheads to absorb and distribute impact energy.
• Molded-in hex reinforcements on flat surfaces and a sealed driveline keep out dirt and grit while making service access straightforward.
• Easy Battery Access — large compartment with a secure snap-lock battery door; batteries sit deep in the chassis for protection and stability.
• Accepts a single 6700 mAh 4-cell battery or dual 5000 mAh 3-cell packs for flexible power options (batteries sold separately).
• Heavy-Duty Steering Bellcranks and Servo — large-scale high-output waterproof steering servo delivering 285 oz-in of torque with a 0.18 sec transit speed.
• Triangulated servo mounting supports the case and heavy-duty double-shear bellcranks provide reliable steering input under stress.
• Suspension — double-shear suspension arms made from a tough composite that resists impact even in cold conditions.
• Geometry is engineered to maximize suspension travel and steering angle; all critical suspension points feature double-shear strength and steel pivot balls.
• Fixed high-strength camber and toe links with steel upper and lower tie bars for precise alignment and durability.
• GT-Maxx Shocks — machined aluminum threaded bodies with an extra-large bore, large-diameter damper shafts and a lower seal cartridge using dual X-rings.
• Adjustable upper spring retainer, plastic shock caps with pivot balls and bolted lower spring perches for serviceable damping and tuning.
• Bumpers — energy-absorbing front and rear bumpers with lower skids for impact and abrasion resistance, integrated nerf bars and an adjustable wheelie bar with carry handle.
• Wheels & Tires — dual-profile wheels with keyed 17 mm hex receptors and large 5.3" Maxx SC belted tires that limit expansion for consistent performance.
• One-piece foam inserts are pre-glued so the truck is ready to run straight from the box.
