The
award-winning Traxxas Slash Short-Course Race Truck puts you in the drivers seat
for intense fender-to-fender, high-flying off-road action. The full-scale
Short-Course Race Trucks embody the spirit of Traxxas R/C with their extreme
900+ horsepower racing engines full-throttle, dirt-roosting power slides, giant
suspension travel, and Supercross-style big-air jumps. The Traxxas Slash brings
all the action home so you can experience the high-speed head-to-head
competition at the track or in your own backyard. The Slash was inspired by the
TORC (THE Traxxas Off-Road Championship) Pro 2WD class. The Pro 2WD class
specifies rear-wheel drive trucks purpose built to fly over jumps and rip
full-throttle through the turns. The Traxxas Slash hangs it out for an all new
way to challenge your driving skills. The 4-wheel independent suspension has
been carefully tuned to replicate the Pro 2 driving and handling experience as
closely as possible. The scale appearing tires provide just the right amount of
bite and thick, blinding clouds of dirt roost.

Off-Road Anywhere
When
the racing action cools down, the Traxxas Slash is well-equipped to tackle all
of your off-track driving adventures. The long travel suspension and oil-filled
shocks easily absorb jumps and rough terrain. The unique chassis design provides
huge center ground clearance to drive over deep ruts, rocks, and other obstacles
that leave ordinary R/C trucks stuck. The tires use advanced tread design and
sophisticated rubber compounds to provide incredible grip off-road with enough
versatility to also perform well on concrete and asphalt. The fenders cover the
tires so you bang against your driving buddies without getting tangled up.
The patent pending Revo-spec Torque-Control slipper clutch design delivers
smooth operation, precise adjustment, and consistent traction control. The
bellcrank steering system virtually eliminates bump steer for precise handling
and control. A digital steering servo delivers lightning fast response.
Sealed Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Traxxas
shocked enthusiasts with the release of our exclusive watertight,
sealed electronics in the E-Maxx that provided the freedom to drive
where you want to drive through water, mud, snow, and other wet-running
conditions that wouldn't have been possible before. Now the Traxxas Slash is
only the second Ready-To-Race model ever to come equipped with this brand new
technology. The proven XL-5 electronic speed control and the mini receiver are
sealed against the elements giving you the freedom go places you might not have
thought possible. It opens up a whole new world of adventure and fun. Wet muddy
tracks are no problem for the Slash. The battery compartment makes it easy to
install batteries and the clever design makes it quickly adaptable for either 6
or 7-cell running (hump packs or stick packs).
Modified Muscle
The Titan
12T 550 modified motor is designed for incredible mod-motor power output
with virtually maintenance-free operation, and long-lasting performance. The
Titan 12T 550 motor's integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through the motor to
keep temperatures down. Airflow is routed through vent tunnels molded in the
motor plate. A cooler running motor equates to faster speeds, longer runtime,
and extended motor life. The XL-5 Electronic Speed Control offers high current
handling, EZ-Set one-button setup, and
smooth high-frequency control. Three drive profiles, low voltage detection,
thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated connectors, and incredibly low
resistance are all features you might expect to only be available on an
expensive replacement ESC. As today's batteries store more and more energy
inside their cells, traditional battery connectors could no longer keep up. The
included Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for unrestricted current
flow.
Precision 2.4GHz Control
Radio System With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on a drive. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ’s ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage.
Training Mode
Traxxas' exclusive patent-pending Training Mode let's everyone
get in on the racing action. Just press a button to limit full-throttle power to
50%. This allows young or new drivers to safely develop their control skills
before unlocking full power to the mighty Titan 12T motor. The Slash is perfect
for drivers at all experience levels. Training mode even makes it easy to hand
the transmitter over to your friends who have never driven a radio controlled
truck before.
Brushless Ready
The
Traxxas Slash is built for extreme Velineon
brushless horsepower (sold separately). Simply bolt it in and 7-cell speed
jumps to 40+mph. Add 11.1V
Traxxas Power Cell LiPo batteries and you have the potential to
double your speed. Bigger roosts and longer hang-time are right at your
fingertips. The included steel transmission gears, full ball bearings, and
high-quality metal turnbuckle links are the winning setup for brushless
durability. The factory-installed planetary differential is Traxxas-tough with
hardened steel gears that never need adjusting! Perfect for long-lasting,
all-day fun. Accessory battery hold downs are available for use with large
capacity LiPo battery packs that can extend speed and run time. Compare the
durability and features to others and you'll see that only Traxxas makes them
truly brushless ready.

Digital
High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo
A race truck needs a
powerful steering servo for responsive performance. The waterproof
steering servo (#2075) uses O-ring seals to keep the fun going when
things get wet. The Traxxas digital high-torque servo provides precise steering
authority and speed for wheel-to-wheel racing in the back yard or on the track.
Sealed
Watertight Receiver Box
A ground-breaking new sealed receiver
box is another Traxxas innovation that puts the Traxxas Slash Short-Course Truck
in a league of its own. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a
special water-tight seal. A custom blue O-ring seals the receiver box to protect
the receiver from water. The receiver can be removed for service and aftermarket
receivers can be installed without losing the sealing properties of the box. An
aluminum antenna crimp nut looks good and holds the antenna tube securely in
place. Patent pending.
Securely
Mounted Electronics
The ESC, receiver, and steering servo are
screwed to the chassis for ultimate mounting security. There's no servo tape to
loosen over time from dirt, heat, water, and collisions.
Long-Wheelbase
Chassis
Designed from the ground up, the Slash chassis features
a 13.2" wheelbase while offering over 3.5 inches inches of ground clearance. The
chassis includes drain holes and a battery tray channel for routing servo wires
to the receiver. Optional electronic speed control mounting bosses are
incorporated into the chassis, making it easy to upgrade to the Extreme Power of
the Velineon Brushless Power System. For race track competition, a
transponder mount is located under the front shock tower when every second
counts.
Adjustable
Battery Hold Down
The unique chassis design allows the use of
6-cell stick or side-by-side style battery packs and 7-cell stick, side-by-side,
and hump battery packs for unmatched versatility. The extended chassis enables
the various battery packs to be positioned forward or backward for front/rear
weight bias tuning. An optional battery hold down kit is available for use with
oversized batteries.
Chassis
Nerf Bars and New Body Mounts
Integrated chassis nerf bars offer
side body support for door to door racing action. Newly designed body mounts
incorporate reinforced washers to support the short course truck body during
big-air jumps and high-speed runs.
Scale
Front and Rear Bumpers
Engineered to handle the abuse of bumper
to bumper bashing, the scale tube-style bumpers are designed to absorb brutal
impacts while looking the part of a true short course race truck.
Licensed
BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A Tires
Realistic looks,
realistic performance. Slash's officially licensed tires have excellent grip in
the dirt and just the right amount of slide on pavement and are mounted and
pre-glued on impressive 2.2" satin-finish wheels.
Adjustable
Steel Turnbuckles
Factory fitted, heavy-duty steel turnbuckles
allow camber and toe tuning. The Slash is completely adjustable right out of the
box to fine tune handling agility and high-speed performance. Captured rod ends
provide unmatched durability and they simply won't pop off.
Metal
Gear Magnum 272 Transmission
The Slash's Magnum 272
transmission is assembled with all metal gear internals riding on ultra-smooth
sealed ball bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power is
delivered to the rear wheels via durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts for
maximum efficiency and articulation. The bulletproof Torque-Control slipper
clutch and metal gear Magnum transmission are ready to handle any power system
upgrade including the Extreme Power of the Velineon
Brushless Power System.
Steel-Composite
Planetary Gear Differential
The composite Traxxas planetary gear
differential now features a steel ring gear with a nylon housing for long life.
It uses hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous
off-road bashing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance
and its efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding torque to the wheels.
Revo-spec
Torque-Control Slipper Clutch
Advanced Revo technology is
utilized to manage the massive power from the Titan 12T motor. The
Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction material and
finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent
traction control. The semi-metallic friction material remains stable across a
wide temperature range to provide smooth, linear engagement you can count on,
run after run. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering the
slipper adjustment.
Motor
Mount with Integrated Cooling Channels
The sealed gearbox
protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks. The molded motor plate
includes finned cooling channels where the motor mounts to the motor plate. The
cooling channels work in conjunction with the internal Titan 12T motor fan to
pull air through the motor for superior cooling.
Heavy-Duty
Yokes with Telescopic Driveshafts
The Slash features heavy-duty drive
yokes which are designed to provide maximum durability to withstand extreme
power. The slider driveshafts are extremely durable, and they allow greater

ball bearing front steering blocks and rear hub carriers. They utilize large
5x11mm ball bearings for long-term precision performance, smooth operation, and
increased durability.
Rubber-Sealed
Ball Bearings
Precision rubber-sealed bearings offer the
ultimate in super low-friction performance and maximum protection in dusty
environments. They are used in all exposed locations on the truck and are
virtually maintenance free.
Oil-Filled
Ultra Shocks
The Slash's oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize X-ring
technology for a perfect seal and super-smooth performance. They are fully
tunable with a wide range of oils, springs, and pistons. Features include
pressure bladders for air/oil separation and spring clips to precisely change
the ride height and spring pre-load. They can be renewed in minutes with our
inexpensive rebuild kits.
Progressive
Rate Powder Coated White Springs
The race-tuned progressive rate
springs soak up the small bumps as a softer spring would, but when the
conditions get rough and the jumps get big, the progressive rate springs step up
to the challenge by getting firmer as the suspension is compressed. The
long-lasting, white powder coated finish sets the Slash apart from the pack.
Bellcrank
Steering
High-performance bellcrank steering system
minimizes bump steer to increase cornering stability.
