The Traxxas Maxx Slash RTR 6S is a fully assembled 1/10 scale 4WD brushless electric short course racing truck built for drivers who want a serious ready-to-race platform with proven Traxxas electronics and tough chassis hardware. It pairs full-time shaft-driven four-wheel drive with a waterproof speed control, a Velineon brushless motor, and Traxxas Stability Management for a truck that is set up to be driven hard in a wide range of conditions.
The electronics package centers on the VXL-6s waterproof electronic speed control and Velineon 4-pole 2000 Kv brushless motor. The ESC is 6S LiPo compatible and features an integrated cooling fan, real-time telemetry through Traxxas Link, 3-LED status indicators, powered accessory ports, 10-gauge silicone wire, and integrated protection circuits. The motor uses a 5 mm output shaft, a finned can for better heat dissipation, and a fixed-mesh motor cradle that supports the full motor length and helps reduce flex in the gear mesh.
The TQi 2.4 GHz radio system stores and loads settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models, so you can switch on and drive without model selection. Traxxas Stability Management is built into the radio system and can be adjusted from off to 100% assistance from the transmitter. It helps improve straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces without dulling throttle response or slowing the truck.
With optional gearing and two 3s LiPo batteries sold separately, the Maxx Slash is capable of 70+ mph. That top-speed potential puts a clear focus on speed, while the truck’s modular low-CG composite chassis, torque-biasing center drive, sealed silicone-fluid diffs with large module ring and pinion gears, steel pinion and spur gear, Heavy-Duty Cush Drive, steel-core hybrid telescoping driveshafts, and splined aluminum center driveshaft give the drivetrain a substantial mechanical foundation. The chassis design also interlocks with the front and rear bulkheads, helps absorb and distribute impact energy, and keeps the driveline sealed inside the chassis to help block out dirt and grit.
The Maxx Slash combines a speed-focused brushless setup with a chassis and driveline built around Traxxas’ own hardware. Waterproof electronics let you keep driving in wet conditions, while TSM, the clipless body, and the modular chassis make the truck feel like a complete, well-integrated platform rather than a collection of separate parts.
It also brings together details that experienced RC drivers tend to value: telemetry support, sealed diffs, a fixed-mesh motor cradle, heavy-duty steering hardware, and a battery bay that works with either a single 4-cell pack or dual 3S packs. For anyone looking at a ready-to-run short course truck with strong electronics, robust drivetrain parts, and serious speed potential, this package covers a lot of ground.
