Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL RTR Brushless (Red)

The Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck that blends race-ready speed with tougher-than-stock components so you can push harder without constant repairs. Built for intermediate drivers (Skill Level 2), it pairs a Velineon brushless motor and the VXL-3s speed control with waterproof electronics and Traxxas Stability Management for confident handling on loose surfaces.

Key Features

• Clipless ProGraphix Painted Body — Pre-painted finish with applied decals that mirror real short course race trucks, plus chassis-mounted nerf bars and scale-style front and rear tube bumpers for authentic looks and impact protection.
• Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kit Installed — Strengthened C-hubs, axle carriers, steering blocks, and shock towers improve crash resistance under hard driving.
• Maxx-duty Driveshafts — Oversize-diameter driveshafts with 6 mm axles and steel wheel hexes for higher torque handling and longer drivetrain life.
• VXL-3s Waterproof Electronic Speed Control — Three programmable drive profiles (Sport: Forward/Brake/Reverse; Race: Forward/Brake; Training: 50% forward/brake/50% reverse) and one-button EZ-Set setup for quick configuration.
• VXL-3s Protection & Cooling — Large heat sink and built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries keep temperatures and battery health in check.
• Battery Compatibility — Supports NiMH packs of 6–9 cells (7.2–10.8 V) and LiPo packs of 2–3 cells (7.4–11.1 V).
• Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor — Sensorless brushless design with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor, high-speed ball bearings and a blue-anodized finish for efficient high-RPM performance (3500 Kv).
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, maintains steering composure for throttle-on powerslides, and is adjustable from off to full assist from the transmitter without dulling throttle response.
• TQi 2.4 GHz High-Output Radio System — 2-channel transmitter and 5-channel micro receiver (6533) with fail-safe, telemetry ports, programmable multi-function knob, adjustable dual rates/expo/end points, and automatic storage for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models.
• Traxxas Link Compatible — Works with the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) to access full app tuning and telemetry (module sold separately).
• Waterproof Receiver Box — Patented sealed receiver box protects electronics from mud and moisture.
• Tough Fiber-Composite Modular Chassis — Modular layout for faster maintenance, single-screw motor plate for easy motor access, and secure mounting for all electronics.
• Long Wheelbase — 12.75" wheelbase improves high-speed stability and tracking.
• Easy-Access Battery Compartment — Adjustable hold-down accepts 6- and 7-cell flat packs, 7- and 8-cell hump packs, and many 2S/3S LiPo configurations for flexible pack choices.
• Transmission & Driveline — Full-time shaft-driven 4WD with blue-anodized aluminum center driveshaft, heavy-duty slipper clutch, large 32-pitch gears and sealed silicone-filled differentials with steel gears for reliable power transfer.
• Steering System — Digital high-torque 2075 waterproof steering servo paired with a dual bellcrank steering system and integrated servo saver for precise, protected steering.
• Suspension — Strong composite suspension arms, adjustable steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends that resist popping off during hard use.
• Springs & Shocks — Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and race-tuned progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for tunable damping and consistent performance.
• Wheels & Tires — Pre-glued BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires mounted on dual-profile SCT wheels (2" OD, 3" ID) with performance foam inserts for traction on dirt and rough surfaces.
• Bearings & Hardware — Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout and precision hex hardware for reliable, low-friction operation and secure assembly.
