XL-5 Electronic Speed Control:
The waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control extends your RC fun to all weather conditions while smoothly supplying power to the motor. This high-performance ESC packs in powerful safety and convenience features like three separate drive profiles, low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries, and Thermal Shutdown Protection to prevent overheating. Traxxas' patented Training Mode™ reduces the overall power by 50%, making it easier for young or new drivers to develop their control skills before unleashing full-power. The XL-5 is also big on versatility with a built-in BEC and a wide voltage range to accommodate 4-7 cell NiMH and 2-cell LiPo batteries. Add it all up and you have a tough, efficient and ultra-smooth fully proportional speed control that’s both powerful and easy to use.

Titan® 12-Turn 550 Motor:
The Slash includes a powerful Titan 12T 550 electric motor with internal cooling fan. The Titan features 12 turns of pure copper wire for big torque and increased power-handling. The integrated cooling fan lowers running temperatures for more fun behind the wheel. The Titan 12T requires very little maintenance and provides consistent torque and high speeds run-after-run. Beyond the specs, the Titan 12T is made for dirt-roosting torque, lightning-quick acceleration, big-air jumps, and just about any other 4-wheel fun that demands real horsepower.

Precision 2.4GHz Control:
Switch on the power and drive! That's all there is to it with the TQ™ 2.4GHz radio system. There are no frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. Race multiple vehicles side by side without interference. The TQ's advanced programming provides long-range control with smooth, glitch-free performance. The TQ's ergonomic design is comfortable for all day driving with an internal antenna that is impervious to damage.

3-channel Micro Receiver with Fail-Safe Security:
The TQ 2.4GHz micro receiver delivers fast reaction times with reliable glitch-free performance. An integrated LINK button makes binding fast and easy with a convenient two-color LED status light. In the event of signal loss due to an accidental transmitter switch-off or depleted batteries, the receiver will automatically return the throttle to neutral and hold the last commanded steering position. The Fail Safe programming is conveniently built-in and does not need to be set or activated.

Sealed Watertight Receiver Box:
Traxxas gives you the freedom to drive where you want and when you want, regardless of the weather. A custom blue O-ring seals the receiver box to protect the receiver from water. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a special water-tight seal. An aluminum antenna crimp nut looks good and holds the antenna tube securely in place.

Long-Wheelbase Chassis:
Short course racing means banging fenders and the Slash’s tough composite chassis takes brutal punishment in stride. The long 13.2” wheelbase increases stability and features over 3.5 inches of center ground clearance to avoid high-centering. Time to upgrade? The Slash chassis already incorporates the mounting bosses required for the Velineon brushless power system. The chassis also features a special transponder mount under the front shock tower for competition races.

Adjustable Battery Hold Down:
Battery Hold DownBatteries come in different shapes and sizes and you'll need to choose one to complete your truck. That’s why the Slash uses an adjustable battery hold-down to accommodate different batteries. Choose the reliable power and ease of our Power Cell NiMH batteries or go for the tire-scorching performance and massive runtime of our mighty 2-cell LiPo battery packs. Slash’s extended battery tray allows you to position the batteries forward or backward for front/rear weight bias tuning. An optional battery hold down kit is available for use with taller oversized batteries.

Chassis Nerf Bars and Reinforced Body Mounts:
Integrated chassis nerf bars offer side body support for door to door racing action. Tough body mounts incorporate reinforced washers to support the short course truck body during big-air jumps and high-speed runs.

BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A Tires:
Slash wears satin-finish 5-spoke wheels with pre-glued BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires. The tires deliver the perfect balance of forward traction and side bite on asphalt, dirt, and any other surface you throw at them. Performance tuned foam inserts help keep the truck firmly planted through the most extreme power-sliding turns and on the most demanding off-road terrain.

Metal Gear Magnum 272™ Transmission:
The Magnum 272 transmission features all metal gears riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. This tough and efficient design transfers power from the motor to the wheels through durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts for maximum articulation. Want to upgrade to Velineon brushless power? Don’t worry, the Magnum transmission is already built to handle the additional power.

Included Optional Pinion Gear:
The Slash reaches its blistering 30+mph top speed on-road using the optional 23-tooth pinion gear (included) and a 7-cell 8.4V battery pack (sold separately). Out of the box, the installed 16-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on- or off-road action.
