This is a new and more affordable version of the legendary Traxxas Slash 4x4 VXL. Traxxas have replaced 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, allowing 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.
