Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL RTR Brushless (Blue)

The Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL brings full-time 4WD, brushless Velineon power and Traxxas stability features to the short course scene. This RTR truck is painted with Clipless ProGraphix and arrives with the Extreme Heavy Duty upgrade kit already installed, so you get a rugged, track-ready truck right out of the box.

Key Features

• Clipless ProGraphix painted body — Pre-painted finish with applied decals for race-ready looks and realistic short course proportions.
• Scale styling — Body dimensions and details mimic full-size short course race trucks for authentic appearance.
• Chassis nerf bars — Absorb impacts and support the body during hard landings and side hits.
• Tube-style bumpers — Scale front and rear bumpers protect the nose and tail while keeping the look race accurate.
• Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit installed — Reinforced components are fitted from the factory for extra durability under aggressive driving.
• Strengthened suspension components — Upgraded C-hubs, axle carriers, steering blocks and shock towers resist bending and breakage.
• Maxx-duty driveshafts — Oversize-diameter shafts with 6 mm axles provide a tougher connection from diff to wheel, and steel wheel hexes improve wheel retention.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — Brushless ESC with a large heat sink and Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for quick configuration.
• Three programmable drive profiles — Sport Mode (Forward / Brake / Reverse), Race Mode (Forward / Brake) and Training Mode™ (patented 50% Forward / Brake / 50% Reverse) adapt the truck to skill level and surface.
• Built-in low-voltage detection — Two-stage battery protection for LiPo packs helps preserve battery life and performance.
• Battery compatibility — Supports NiMH packs (6–9 cells) and LiPo packs (2–3 cells).
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — Sensorless design with ultra high-temp sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and high-speed ball bearings for efficient, powerful drive.
• Blue-anodized motor finish — Distinctive appearance that matches the truck’s performance focus.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Helps with straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces while preserving throttle feel and allowing controlled powerslides; adjustable from off to full via the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — Includes a 2-channel transmitter and a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe and telemetry ports.
• Traxxas Link compatible — Receiver is ready for the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) to unlock app-based tuning and can store settings for up to 30 Link-enabled models.
• Radio tuning features — Programmable multi-function knob, adjustable steering/throttle percentage (dual rates), sensitivity (exponential) and end points for dialing handling.
• Patented waterproof receiver box — Keeps electronics sealed against mud and moisture for reliable running in wet conditions.
• Tough fiber-composite modular chassis — Modular layout speeds maintenance, gives easy access to electronics and uses a single-screw motor plate for quick motor removal.
• Long wheelbase — 12.75" wheelbase increases on-track stability and predictable handling.
• Easy-access battery compartment — Adjustable hold-down accepts a variety of battery types including 6- and 7-cell flat packs, 7- and 8-cell hump packs, and many 2S/3S LiPo configurations.
• Transmission and driveline — Full-time shaft-driven 4WD with a blue-anodized aluminum center driveshaft, heavy-duty slipper clutch and large 32-pitch gears.
• Sealed differentials — Silicone-filled, sealed diffs with hardened steel bevel gears for consistent power distribution and long life.
• Digital steering — High-torque waterproof 2075 steering servo with a dual bellcrank setup and integrated servo saver for precise control and protection.
• Suspension hardware — Heavy-duty composite arms, adjustable steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends that stay in place under load.
• Springs and shocks — Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks™ with X-ring technology and race-tuned progressive-rate, white powder-coated springs.
• Wheels and tires — Pre-glued BFGoodrich® Mud Terrain T/A® tires mounted on dual-profile SCT wheels (2" OD outer, 3" ID inner) with performance foam inserts.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings — Reduce friction across the drivetrain for smoother operation and improved durability.
• Precision hex hardware — Machined fasteners for consistent fit and reliable assembly.
• Traxxas support and parts availability — Wide parts network and service support make maintenance and repairs straightforward.
• Requires battery and charger — Truck does not include battery or charger; both are sold separately.
