This is the Traxxas Slash VXL Brushless 2WD Ready-to-Race 1/10 Scale Short Course RC Truck with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) and TQi 2.4GHz Link radio system (Traxxas Bluetooth Link Module Compatible - Module sold separately), Velineon brushless power system, Magnum 272R transmission and Clipless ProGraphix race replica painted body. The truck is capable of 40MPH with using a 7-cell NiMH battery, or 60+MPH with a 3S LiPo! Battery and charger are sold separately.
Traxxas Slash VXL 2WD
The Traxxas Slash VXL puts you in the driver’s seat for intense fender-to-fender, high-flying off-road action. Since its introduction, the Slash has set the standard for durability, performance, and technology. Traxxas Stability Management puts Slash VXL’s tire-shredding power to the ground while making it incredibly agile and easily controllable. Extreme Velineon brushless power provides screaming 60+mph speed while the advanced TQ radio system keeps everything under precise control. With just one drive you will see why the Traxxas Slash VXL elevates short course performance to a whole new level.
Clipless Body Mounting
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.
Pro Series Magnum 272R Transmission
The Magnum 272R uses a new low-profile housing with a rock-solid 3.2 mm aluminum motor plate. A hardened steel top shaft and all-metal gears send power to a sealed, silicone-filled 4-gear differential for maximum traction. A removable panel gives you easy access to the differential for tuning with different viscosity fluids. Originally developed for the hard-hitting Drag Slash, the Magnum 272R delivers competition-grade performance for your Slash VXL.
Class-Leading Velineon Brushless Power
The Velineon brushless motor and electronic speed control deliver the ultimate in efficiency, speed, and run time. With the Slash VXL, your battery selection determines your speed and skill level. Velineon accepts a wide range of batteries, including powerful 3-cell LiPo packs. These packs pump out over 11 volts of power for intense, skill level 5 speeds beyond 65 mph! Built-in low-voltage detection in the VXL-3s ESC helps you maintain your LiPo packs in top condition.
Features
Traxxas Stability Management
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 World's Most Advanced Ready-To-Race Radio System
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.
5-channel Micro Receiver with Fail-Safe Security
The TSM TQi 2.4 GHz micro receiver uses an integrated LINK button for fast and easy binding. A two-color LED indicates power-on and bind status for fool-proof control and convenience. Traxxas Link Model Memory allows the receiver to recognize up to thirty TQi 2.4 Ghz Traxxas Link enabled transmitters. In the event of signal loss, the receiver will automatically return the throttle to neutral and hold the last commanded steering position. This fail safe programming is conveniently built-in and does not need to be set or activated. The 5-channel receiver features three telemetry ports to allow real-time data to be transmitted from your vehicle to the TQi transmitter.
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
Slash VXL's receiver is fully enclosed for protection from the elements. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a special watertight seal, and 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 patented receiver box.
Heavy-Duty Driveshafts
Brutal brushless horsepower would stress ordinary drivetrain components to their limits, so Slash VXL steps up with extra-strong telescoping universal-joint driveshafts. The Traxxas-Tough driveline makes certain every watt of Velineon power is transformed into rocket-like thrust.
Dual-Bellcrank Steering
Slash VXL's steering bellcranks feature optimized geometry and an integrated cam-type servo-saver to protect the servo's gears from crash damage without compromising steering precision.
Long-Wheelbase Chassis
Designed from the ground up, the new chassis features a 13.2″ wheelbase while offering over 3.5″ of ground clearance. The new chassis includes drain holes and a battery tray channel for routing servo wires to the receiver.
