This is a new and more affordable version of the legendary Traxxas Slash 4x4 VXL! Traxxas have replace the Velineon brushless motor and ESC with a powerful brushed Titan 12T 550 size motor and XL-5 ESC making this an affordable version of the proven Traxxas Slash 4x4 ideal for beginners looking for a quality RC short course truck!
The Titan 12T 550 motor has an inbuilt cooling fan reducing running temperatures which allow faster speeds and longer run times without having to worry about overheating.
Precise control is easy with the included 2.4 GHz TQ radio system.
Hobbies Direct recommends using the Traxxas’ Patented Training mode as it limits the power output of the model to 50% which makes practising much easier and safer and is also an excellent idea when giving your friends a try.
Hobbies Direct stocks 100% of the spare parts for the Traxxas 1/10 Slash 4x4 meaning more fun-time and less downtime.
Traxxas' patented Training Mode is a fantastic way to learn how to drive an RC car, once set to Training Mode the power output of the car gets reduced to 50%.
Traxxas' 2.4ghz TQ transmitter has a range of over 300 meters and has no trouble with multiple cars driving around at once. Designed to be very comfortable, lightweight (only uses 4 AA batteries), and easy to use.
Stop waiting around for your batteries and charge with Traxxas' 4 Amp fast charger, just plug it into your car's cigarette port and start charging. You can charge your batteries while camping on even at the track!
The best connectors in the industry! Secure, easy to use, high-current, also has an RFID chip that tells the charger what settings to charge it on. Now that's one smart connector.
The XL5 is designed to be easy to use, handle NiMH and LiPo batteries, and comes with three programmable modes;, Training Mode (50% forward with brake and 50% reverse), Sports Mode (100% forward with brake and 100% reverse - default), and Race Mode (100% forward with brake and no reverse).

Update on slash. I've made my slash brushless and it's now more fun than ever!!!! Just with some bigger batteries and some better dive shafts, this is one of the toughest RC trucks ever!!! So get one and become a member of the RC community if you starting or a seasoned pro this will always bring a smile to your face. And this truck needs there little maintenance and care. So I hope this review will help you and I hope to see you with your Traxxas Slash 4x4 out on the trails soon. Joshua Gorry
