The award-winning Traxxas Slash short-course RC race truck puts you in the driver's seat for intense fender-to-fender, high-flying off-road action. The rear-wheel drive Slash is purpose-built to fly over jumps and rip full-throttle through the turns. The 4-wheel independent suspension delivers a real-world driving experience for maximum fun and high-speed thrills.

The Slash Assembly Kit includes all required parts and electronics in the box — battery and charger sold separately. You get the convenience of a TQ 2.4GHz radio system, powerful Titan electric motor, and waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control. All parts are organized in labeled bags with a fully illustrated colour manual to make building rewarding and fun.

Hobbies Direct stocks 100% of the spare parts for the Traxxas 1/10 Slash 2WD Kit.
