Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL RTR Brushless (Red)

Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL brings short course performance to the backyard and the local track. This RTR truck pairs a Velineon brushless motor with the VXL-3s speed control and Traxxas Stability Management so you get high rpm, programmable throttle behavior, and predictable handling on low-traction surfaces. The Slash 4X4 VXL arrives with a pre-painted Clipless ProGraphix body and a reinforced driveline ready for heavy use.

Key Features

• Clipless ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals that reproduces the scale look of short course race trucks.
• Chassis nerf bars absorb impacts and support the body for repeated bashing sessions.
• Scale front and rear tube-style bumpers add realism and protect the nose and tail.
• Extreme Heavy-Duty upgrade kit installed — strengthened C-hubs, axle carriers, steering blocks, and shock towers for tougher crashes and heavy use.
• Maxx-duty driveshafts — oversize diameter shafts with 6 mm axles and steel wheel hexes for improved drivetrain strength.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — three programmable drive profiles: Sport (Forward/Brake/Reverse), Race (Forward/Brake), and Training (50% Forward/Brake/50% Reverse, patented) to tune how the truck responds to the throttle.
• EZ-Set one-button setup makes programming the VXL-3s quick from the transmitter.
• Large heat sink on the ESC helps manage temperatures during long runs.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection protects rechargeable packs during use.
• The ESC accepts standard NiMH and multi-cell LiPo pack configurations for flexible power options.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — sintered neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor, and high-speed ball bearings for efficient power delivery and long life.
• Blue-anodized motor finish and 3500 Kv speed rating tuned for 1/10 scale performance.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on loose surfaces, keeps steering composed during throttle-on powerslides, and can be adjusted from off to full assistance at the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — two-channel transmitter with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that includes fail-safe and telemetry ports, plus a programmable multi-function knob and adjustable dual rates/expo and end points.
• Receiver ships in a patented sealed receiver box for reliable protection from dust and moisture.
• Tough fiber-composite modular chassis — modular design speeds maintenance, secures electronics, and offers a long 12.75" wheelbase for improved high-speed stability.
• Single-screw motor plate provides fast motor access when service or gear changes are needed.
• Easy access battery compartment — adjustable hold-down accepts a wide range of pack shapes, including 6- and 7-cell flat packs and common 2S/3S LiPo configurations.
• Transmission and driveline — full-time shaft-driven 4WD with a blue-anodized aluminum center driveshaft, heavy-duty slipper clutch, large 32-pitch gears, and sealed, silicone-filled differentials with steel gears for long life.
• Steering — digital high-torque 2075 steering servo with a dual bellcrank steering system and integrated servo saver for precise control and protection from impacts.
• Suspension — reinforced composite suspension arms, adjustable steel turnbuckles for toe and camber tweaks, and captured rod ends that resist popping out under load.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for consistent damping and improved handling.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tires mounted on dual-profile SCT wheels, fitted with performance foam inserts for traction and durability; tires measure approximately 2" outer diameter and 3" inner diameter.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout reduce friction and extend drivetrain life.
• Precision hex hardware is used on critical mounting points for secure assembly.
• Backed by Traxxas parts availability and support for service and upgrades.
• Requires battery and charger — the truck is RTR but needs a compatible battery and charger sold separately.
