Extreme
Power TRX 3.3 Racing Engine
For those who
like their horsepower raw and screaming at the red line, Slayer Pro 4X4 delivers
with the award-winning nitro fury of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine. Slayer Pro 4X4
punches hard with massive torque off the line and a wide powerband—bury the
throttle at anytime to send all four tires into a raging fury of roosting dirt.
The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine features a precision composite slide carburetor,
PowerTune cooling head, dyno-proven IPS crankshaft, multi-port rear exhaust, and
the starting convenience of the exclusive Traxxas EZ-Start system.
It's competition-proven power with convenience and reliability for all-day
driving fun. The TRX 3.3 engine is an investment in performance for years to
come, fully protected by the exclusiveTraxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan.
EZ-Start Electric
Starting
Maximum power, maximum convenience—that's how
Traxxas does nitro. Only the Traxxas EZ-Start offers the pure convenience of
true one-handed operation and complete on-board, push-button electric starting.
The Traxxas EZ-Start lights your glow plug and starts your engine quickly and
smoothly at the push of a button. Traxxas' exclusive Smart Start technology
monitors critical starting functions, automatically sensing and diagnosing
potential problems for troublefree engine starting every time! LEDs provide
realtime status, even alerting you when a glow plug has failed. Slayer Pro 4X4
includes the required 6-cell battery and charger to power the EZ-Start system
for total convenience. The starter battery stays with the EZ-Start, eliminating
the need to carry the speed-robbing weight of extra batteries on-board.
Precision 2.4GHz Control Radio System
With the TQ
2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on and 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. To customize the controls, the
transmitter’s factory servo directions can be easily adjusted using the TQ’s
simple programming system.
Suspension
& Chassis Innovation From
The Award-Winning Revo 3.3
Eight National Championship titles have proven the superior design of the
Revo-Spec rocker-actuated suspension system that mirrors the huge travel and
plush damping of the full-size Pro 4X4 short course race trucks. Full-time
4-Wheel-Drive delivers track-gripping traction for hard hitting acceleration
through the turns and precise control that lets you thread the needle through
the traffic. The geometry of the patent-pending suspension design multiplies the
total wheel travel to soak up big hits that would sideline other trucks. The
suspension action is light and supple over small bumps, but when bigger jolts
compress the suspension farther, the progressive rocker geometry instantly
increases spring and damping rates to absorb the impact. And it's fully
adjustable; ride height, progressive rate, and damping can all be fine tuned
independently. This no-compromise setup is simply not possible with conventional
suspension designs.
Slayer Pro 4X4 is built on the long-wheelbase 3D semi-monocoque chassis
originally developed for the Revo 3.3. Formed from 3mm 6061 aluminum, the
chassis is blue-anodized and T6 hardened for strength. The integrated battery
box accepts 4 AA cells or a 5-cell rechargeable receiver pack (sold separately).
The ultra-compact throttle servo mount ties rigidly into the chassis and
supports the air filter, and the low-profile receiver box protects our latest
5-channel 2.4GHz Traxxas Link-enabled micro receiver. A blue-anodized crimp nut
locks the antenna tube in place, so it stays put no matter how rough the racing
gets, and an integrated roll hoop/carrying handle protects the TRX 3.3 engine
from rollover abuse.
Authentic Pro 4X4 Looks
With four
full-size trucks in TORC competition, Traxxas knows how an R/C short-course
racer should look and handle. Slayer Pro 4X4's full-fendered bodywork captures
the look of the full-size Pro 4X4 race machines, and the chrome split-spoke
wheels have a bead-lock look just like the real deal. For a track-ready look
that performs, officially-licensed BFGoodrich treads molded in a specially
formulated rubber compound give Slayer Pro 4X4 the perfect balance of forward
traction and slip-angle in turns. Four Race Replica body styles are offered,
each fully decorated with graphics licensed from the full-size trucks. Whether
you choose the Mark or Mike Jenkins Edition (Traxxas), Greg Adler Edition (4
Wheel Parts) or Scott Douglas Edition (Amsoil), you'll discover R/C racing has
never been so real.

Precision
2.4GHz Control
With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system,
you just switch on and 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. To customize the controls, the transmitter’s factory servo
directions can be easily adjusted using the TQ’s simple programming system.
Blue-Anodized 3D Semi-Monocoque Chassis
Slayer Pro 4X4’s uniquely sculptured chassis was originally developed for the
8-time National Champion Revo 3.3, and offers a 30mm wheelbase extension
compared to the original Slayer. The unique monocoque chassis is cut and formed
from 3mm, 6061-T6 aluminum for a combination of rigidity and light weight that
flat-plate designs can't match. The engine cradle and deep channel design
provide superior strength without adding unnecessary weight, and an integrated
chassis brace prevents flexing caused by engine torque.
Wide-Track
Suspension Arms
Slayer Pro 4X4’s longer wheelbase is matched
with new, wider suspension arms to increase its track by 26mm. The result is a
10% increase in the Slayer Pro 4X4’s “footprint,” and greatly enhanced stability
in rough conditions and radically improved cornering. Go in hot and pitch it
sideways—Slayer Pro 4X4 rages through corners with roost pouring off all four
tires, just like the real deal.
Hard-Anodized,
PTFE-Coated GTR Aluminum Shocks
High performance off-road racing
demands the most from shock absorbers, so Slayer Pro 4X4 is equipped with the
best shocks in the business, our hard-anodized, PTFE-coated GTR dampers.
Threaded bodies and oversized spring collars make it easy to set preload, and
long-wearing, low-friction titanium-nitride shafts provide slick shock action
for superior suspension response and reliability.
Officially
Licensed BFGoodrich Tires
For track-ready style that performs,
Slayer Pro 4X4 is outfitted with officially-licensed BFGoodrich treads molded
in a specially formulated rubber compound to give the perfect balance of forward
traction on the straights and slip-angle in the turns. The tires are supported
by foam inserts and securely bonded to new, chrome split-spoke wheels that have
a bead-lock look just like the real deal.
TRX 3.3 Racing Engine
No other engine combines
power, reliability and convenience as well as the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine. This
high-performance powerplant features a precision composite slide carburetor for
easy tuning and crisp throttle response, PowerTune blue-anodized cooling head,
dyno-proven IPS crankshaft and multi-port rear exhaust. The TRX 3.3 engine is
also equipped with Traxxas’ exclusive EZ-Start electric
starting system that makes bringing the Slayer as easy as pushing a button.
EZ-Start Electric
Starting
With
EZ-Start, there’s no need for starter cords, glow starters or their hassles.
Instead, all you have to do is insert the EZ-Start into the starter port and
push the start button. It only takes one hand! The Traxxas EZ-Start lights the
glow plug and starts the engine in seconds, and exclusive Smart Start
technology monitors critical starting functions, automatically sensing and
diagnosing potential problems for troublefree engine starting every time. LEDs
provide realtime status, even alerting you when a glow plug has failed.
Mirror-Polish Resonator Dual-Chamber Aluminum Pipe
Nitro
engines rely on properly shaped exhaust pipes for maximum power and efficiency.
The Slayer Pro 4X4’s Resonator pipe was shaped with data collected from hours
of dyno testing. The dual-chamber design is precisely tuned for low-rpm torque
to get the Slayer off the line quickly, and a big horsepower hit on the top end
for screaming speed. A mirror-polish finish looks extra stylish, but it’s more
than beautiful—it’s also easier to keep clean.
Large
High-Volume Dual-Stage Air Filter
The Slayer Pro 4X4’s high-output TRX
3.3 engine breathes clean air through a new, larger air filter. The dual-stage
design traps large particles in the outer element, while the inner element flows
clean air to the engine. The new, larger diameter foam elements allow greater
airflow, and more air means more horsepower.
150cc
Fuel Tank
More fuel means more drive time between refills, and with
150cc on board, Slayer Pro 4X4 stretches every run. A pull handle makes it easy
to yank the tank open for fast filling, and the tank is specially designed to
maintain consistent fuel flow no matter how rough the driving conditions. The
tank’s lowered sump keeps the fuel pickup submerged, and baffles prevent fuel
from sloshing out of the sump.
Compact
Receiver and Battery Box with Integrated Personal Transponder Mount
The compact radio box accepts 4 AA alkaline batteries or a 5-cell flat
rechargeable receiver pack (sold separately). The on/off switch is built in, and
a blue-anodized crimp nut holds the antenna tube tightly so rollovers won’t yank
it out. Ready to race your Slayer Pro 4X4? A transponder mount is integrated
right into the receiver box.
High-Torque
Waterproof Steering and Throttle Servos
Slayer Pro 4X4 steers with
precision and authority thanks to its digital high-torque servo. With 125
oz.-in. of torque, the 2075 servo has up to three times the power of many other
RTR vehicles’ servos, with the precision centering and fine control only a
digital servo can offer. And it’s fast, too; transit time is just 0.16 second,
giving the Slayer instant response to your commands. The 2056 throttle/brake
servo applies the binders with 80 oz.-in. of muscle for positive modulation and
powerful stopping, and both servos sealed to prevent contamination from dirt,
dust, and even water.
Auto-Shifting
Two-Speed Transmission
It takes more than a powerful engine to give a
truck eyeball-flattening acceleration and high top speed; gearing is critical.
Slayer Pro 4X4 features custom transmission ratios specifically tailored to suit
the short-course racing style wheels and tires, and a quick-shifting two-speed
transmission for a fast blast off the line and all the full-throttle speed you
can handle. The transmission’s shift point is fully adjustable so you can set it
to engage second gear as early or late as you like.
Torque-Control
Slipper Clutch
Dirt-spraying, wheel-spinning launches are a blast, but
when you want more controlled power delivery, a slipper clutch is the feature
you need. Instead of spinning the tires, the slipper clutch literally slips to
absorb excess power until there’s enough traction to put it down on the ground.
The Slayer Pro 4X4’s Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic
friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat
and provide consistent traction control. Gearing can be changed without altering
the slipper adjustment, and a center ball bearing maintains precise,
long-lasting alignment with near friction-free running and virtually zero
maintenance.
Large
Diameter Disc Brake
With more than 45mph on tap, Slayer Pro 4X4
demands the best brakes. Traxxas delivers with a big 42mm steel rotor and
semi-metallic brake pads that provide four-wheel braking with fine control,
whether you need to scrub just a little speed to sneak under another racer in a
corner, or a big grab of whoa-power at the end of a parking lot speed run.
Sealed
Limited-Slip Differentials
Slayer’s high-tech differentials are
designed to handle the intense power of the TRX 3.3 engine with adjustable
limited-slip action. The differentials are precision sealed with Traxxas X-ring
seals to hold silicone fluid inside. The silicone lube constantly flows back
into the gear teeth to provide resistance to power-robbing “unloading” that
often affects grease-lubed differentials. By changing the viscosity of the
fluid, the amount of limited-slip action can be changed. In short, Slayer’s
silicone-filled diffs give you better traction, handling and control.
Super-Duty
Driveshafts
It takes a strong drivetrain to channel TRX 3.3 power to
the wheels. Slayer Pro 4X4’s oversized, true-curvilinear telescoping driveshafts
permit universal joints to be fitted on both ends of the driveshafts. Universal
joints operate with greater efficiency and less wear than conventional dogbone
designs, and also permit greater suspension travel without compromising power
delivery. Smooth-turning and virtually maintenance free, Slayer’s Super Duty
driveshafts are a perfect match for its high power and off-road mission.
Sealed
Pivot Ball Suspension
A Traxxas hallmark since the debut of the Revo,
Slayer Pro 4X4’s exclusive rubber-sealed pivot-ball suspension is impervious to
contamination from dirt and debris and more easily adjustable than conventional
designs. Flexible rubber bellows seal the suspension pivots without hindering
operation, and rubber-sealed bearings minimize friction while warding off
contamination.
Tight-Handling
Progressive-2 Rockers
Conventional stand-up shocks can’t provide the
multi-rate performance of Slayer Pro 4X4’s rocker-actuated shocks. Unlike
standard designs that offer the same amount of spring rate no matter where the
suspension is in its travel range, Slayer’s Revo-derived design steadily
increases spring rate and damping force as the suspension is compressed, keeping
you in control. In addition to these benefits, the shocks are rigidly mounted to
the chassis, protected from dirt, rocks, and crash damage.
Race
Replica Painted Bodies
Slayer Pro 4X4 rolls out of the box ready for
action with a factory-finished and mounted Race Replica body and decals already
applied for you, so its Ready-to-Race. There are four officially-licensed
styles to choose from: Mike Jenkins edition (#47 Traxxas), Mark Jenkins Edition
(#25 Traxxas), Greg Adler Edition (4 Wheel Parts), and Scott Douglas Edition
(AMSOIL).
Realistic
& Functional Front and Rear Bumpers
More than mere styling pieces,
Slayer’s tube-style front and rear bumpers provide crash protection while adding
to the truck’s realistic looks. The bumpers are designed to flex and spring back
from impacts to protect the chassis and body. The chassis nerf bars let trucks
rub together without tangling wheels and causing a crash.
Rubber-Sealed
Ball Bearings
Slayer Pro 4X4 is built for extreme offroad use, so only
the best rubber-sealed bearings will do. Traxxas’ precision ball-bearings resist
dirt and dust to deliver lasting low-friction performance, run after run.
Hex
Hardware
Professional-grade hex hardware is used throughout for
maximum durability and convenient maintenance. A black-oxide coating resists
corrosion and gives Slayer Pro 4X4 an all-business look.
