Traxxas Slash® 4X4 sets the standard for durability, performance, and technology in the 1/10 scale short course truck segment. Innovative features like Traxxas Stability Management®, modular chassis design, and ultra-efficient shaft drive complement Slash’s track-tested precision and rock-solid durability. Slash 4X4’s extreme Velineon® brushless power provides dirt-roosting torque and screaming 60+ mph speed with a TQi™ radio system to keep everything under precise control. With just one drive you will see why the Traxxas Slash 4X4 elevates short course performance to a whole new level.
Slash's innovative clipless body features secure mounting with quick and easy removal. No posts, no clips—just drop the body onto the chassis and snap it into place for a secure hold. When it’s time to change the battery, depress the tabs under the wheel wells and lift up to access the chassis in just seconds.
Slash 4X4's Traxxas Velineon Brushless Power system defines a whole new generation of outrageous electric power. Pour in the voltage and out comes the speed in tidal waves of force harnessed by precise throttle control. For the uninitiated, prepare yourself... the sheer brutal power combined with the Slash 4X4's four-corner grip results in tire-melting acceleration and lightning fast speed. The Velineon 3s components work together as an optimized package, from the patented Traxxas High-Current connector to the custom-wound motor. It delivers the ultimate in efficiency, speed, and run-time along with refined control. It's brushless performance the Traxxas way: wicked fast and easy to use. Just plug it in and it works, no special knowledge or programming skills required!
Traxxas Stability Management TSM® makes it easier to control your vehicle on slippery surfaces such as loose dirt, smooth concrete, and even ice and snow. Punch it off the line and TSM senses the vehicle’s direction and makes steering corrections to provide straight-ahead full throttle acceleration without loss of control. When cornering, TSM makes intuitive corrections to maintain the vehicle’s line, then hammer the throttle earlier in the turn for much faster exit speeds. TSM also improves braking performance by keeping the front wheels arrow straight until they come to a complete stop.
The radio system is the sole connection between the driver and machine. It has to be precise, comfortable, powerful, and reliable. The Traxxas® TQi™ radio system arrives with a full complement of tuning features; long-range, high-output, 2.4 GHz signal, and proven Traxxas reliability for rock-solid performance.
The Velineon VXL-3s speed control is loaded with high-grade technology to precisely deliver maximum power to the motor. It's engineered for today's battery technology and beyond. Two-stage low voltage detection allows full LiPo compatibility, including powerful 11.1-volt 3S packs!
Extreme performance is standard equipment with the sensorless Velineon motor. Ultra high-temperature Neodymium magnets, high-speed ball bearings, and a precision balanced rotor deliver power and long life with near zero maintenance. Since there are no brushes or commutator to wear out, you always get the same blistering acceleration and ballistic top speed run after run.
Slash 4X4 comes fully-assembled and Ready-To-Race® with the TQi 2.4GHz radio system, Velineon brushless power system, and clipless pre-painted body. Simply add the battery or completer pack of your choice to start the full-throttle action! With over 30 years in the hobby industry, Traxxas goes the extra mile to ensure that your RC experience is easy and fun.
