Traxxas Slash 2WD RTR XL-5 (Green)

Traxxas Slash 2WD is a ready-to-run short course truck built for fast, durable fun — it ships with a 3000 mAh Traxxas 7-cell NiMH battery (iD®) and a USB-C fast charger so you can hit the track right away. The XL-5 speed control and Titan 12T 550 motor deliver responsive power while waterproof and watertight systems keep electronics safe during wet runs. Ideal for beginners (Skill Level 1) and experienced drivers who want a low-maintenance, high-value short course truck.

Key Features

• Clipless short course body for a clean, clip-free look and quick removal; front and rear tube-style bumpers resist impacts during intense action.
• Body reinforcements prevent pull-through damage in crashes, helping the shell hold its shape under hard use.
• Includes battery and USB-C charger: Traxxas 3000 mAh 7-cell 8.4 V NiMH battery with iD® for simple plug-and-play setup and a 4-amp USB-C fast charger for quicker turnaround between runs.
• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control with three drive profiles: Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake), and Training Mode™ (patented 50% forward/brake/50% reverse).
• EZ-Set one-button setup makes binding and basics fast; XL-5 supports LiPo and NiMH with two-stage low-voltage detection for battery safety.
• Titan 12T 550 motor is a high-speed brushed unit with an internal cooling fan and an oversized armature for better torque and power handling; molded wire retainer keeps leads secure and operation is virtually maintenance-free.
• Extreme heavy duty parts installed — strengthened C-hubs, axle carriers, and steering blocks give the Slash tougher crash resistance.
• TQ™ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system with an ergonomic transmitter (internal antenna) and a Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe for reliable control.
• Watertight receiver box uses a patented O-ring seal to keep the receiver dry in wet conditions.
• Fiber-composite monocoque chassis provides a stiff, single-piece platform with a long 13.2" wheelbase for stability and over 3.5" of ground clearance for rough terrain.
• Easy-access battery compartment with adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell flat packs, 7-cell hump packs, and many 2S LiPo configurations.
• Steering: digital high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2075 steering servo and a bellcrank system tuned to minimize bump steer.
• Transmission & driveline: brushless-ready Magnum 272™ metal-gear transmission, Torque-Control™ slipper clutch, planetary differential with steel ring gear, sealed gearbox with beefed-up motor guard, and an external gear cover for easy clutch access.
• Driveshafts: heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and robust yokes for dependable power delivery.
• Suspension: steel turnbuckles for precise geometry adjustments and captured rod ends that won't pop off during use.
• Springs & shocks: fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks™ with X-ring seals plus race-tuned progressive-rate black springs for controlled damping and consistent performance.
• Wheels & tires: licensed BFGoodrich® Mud Terrain T/A® tires pre-glued with foam inserts, mounted on black dual-profile SCT wheels (2" outer, 3" inner diameter) for traction and durability.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain for smooth operation and longer component life.
• Precision hex hardware used across the vehicle for reliable assembly and easy maintenance.
