More info
The Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL is a ready-to-run 1/10 short course truck that combines brushless speed, waterproof electronics, and race-inspired scale looks. It comes with the Velineon brushless motor and VXL-3s speed control installed, plus the TQi radio system, so you can get on track quickly; battery and charger are required separately. This truck suits intermediate drivers who want aggressive performance for bashing or backyard track sessions.
Key Features
- Clipless ProGraphix painted body — Pre-painted shell with applied decals and scale proportions that match full-size short course trucks.
- Chassis nerf bars and tube bumpers — Nerf bars absorb impacts and support the body while front and rear tube-style bumpers protect the nose and corners.
- Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit installed — Reinforced C-hubs, axle carriers, steering blocks, and shock towers for stronger crash resistance.
- Maxx-duty driveshafts — Oversize diameter shafts with 6 mm axles and steel wheel hexes to handle big power and hard landings.
- VXL-3s waterproof ESC — Three programmable drive profiles (Sport: forward/brake/reverse; Race: forward/brake; Training: 50% forward/brake/50% reverse), one-button EZ-Set setup, large heat sink, and two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo packs.
- Battery compatibility — Accepts NiMH packs from 6 to 9 cells (7.2–10.8 V) and LiPo packs 2–3 cells (7.4–11.1 V).
- Velineon 3500 brushless motor — Sensorless design with ultra high-temperature sintered neodymium magnets, high-speed ball bearings, precision-balanced rotor and a blue-anodized finish for efficient, high-RPM performance.
- Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Helps straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, keeps steering composed for throttle-on powerslides, and is adjustable from off to full assist via the transmitter.
- TQi 2.4 GHz radio system — 2-channel transmitter with 5-channel micro receiver (6533), fail-safe, telemetry ports, programmable multi-function knob, adjustable dual rates and exponential, end-point adjustment, and a patented waterproof receiver box.
- Traxxas Link compatible — Radio stores settings for up to 30 Link-enabled models and works with the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module for full app features.
- Tough fiber-composite modular chassis — Modular layout speeds maintenance, secures electronics to the chassis, and offers a single-screw motor plate for quick motor access.
- Long wheelbase — 12.75" wheelbase increases high-speed stability and predictable handling.
- 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.
- Full-time shaft-driven 4WD — Blue-anodized aluminum center driveshaft with heavy-duty slipper clutch and large 32-pitch gears for durable power transfer.
- Sealed differentials — Silicone-filled, steel-gear differentials give consistent power distribution and long life.
- Digital high-torque waterproof steering — 2075 servo with dual bellcrank steering and integrated servo saver for precise, protected control.
- Durable suspension — Heavy composite suspension arms, adjustable steel turnbuckles, and captured rod ends that resist coming off during hard use.
- Race-tuned springs and shocks — Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and progressive-rate white powder-coated springs for tunable damping and rebound.
- Pre-glued BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires — Tires arrive glued to dual-profile SCT wheels with performance foam inserts; approximate outer diameter 2", inner diameter 3".
- Rubber-sealed ball bearings — Bearings throughout the drivetrain reduce friction and improve longevity.
- Precision hex hardware — Quality fasteners used where fit and repeatability matter.
- Traxxas parts support — Backed by extensive parts availability and service for repairs and upgrades.
- Requires battery and charger — Battery and charger are sold separately so you can choose the pack and charging system that fits your driving style.
