Traxxas Slash 1:10 VX3 RTR black

New VX3 drive

The new VX3 brushless drive can convert the energy of a 3S LiPo battery into extreme acceleration and speed. The VX3 speed controller has modern electronics, active fan cooling, easy one-button adjustment and telemetry support. The powerful Velineon V3200 motor represents the ideal combination of high speed, power and efficiency. The integrated cooling system effectively keeps the engine temperature low even during demanding driving.

New GTR shock absorbers

The new composite GTR shock absorbers absorb impacts and ensure maximum wheel contact with the surface. They hold more than 70% more oil than standard Ultra Shocks, are sealed with X-rings, and spring preload can be conveniently adjusted with a nut on the shock absorber body.

Durable Servo

Slash is equipped with a new powerful servo with metal gears. In conjunction with the redesigned Bellcrank steering system with integrated servo saver, it ensures high durability, precise steering response and long service life.

Clipless Body

The unique body attachment system using beaks in the wheel arches allows for quick and easy battery replacement, and the clean look of the model is not disturbed by clips. Robust latches hold the body firmly in place no matter how rough the ride. The body has an aerodynamic shape that increases downforce for stability at high speeds.

Low center of gravity chassis

The low center of gravity chassis places the battery and electronics as low as possible, which increases stability and cornering speed. The chassis is flat and smooth underneath to prevent the model from getting stuck and to prevent it from sliding easily if it hits its belly.

Extreme Heavy Duty Components

The factory-installed kit upgrades exposed parts of the model for high durability. Individual parts are made from the most durable materials that Traxxas uses. Whether you're driving through challenging terrain or jumping on jumps, the kit is designed to last a long time.

Durable chassis with a low center of gravity

The model chassis is made of a durable fiber-filled nylon chassis. This makes the chassis light and stiff. The battery is mounted in the center axis for ideal weight distribution. The low center of gravity maintains stability in corners even at high speeds.

Long wheelbase

The long wheelbase of 33 cm ensures excellent directional stability at high speeds. The model is quieter when driving over bumps, handles jumps better and provides more confident control.

High-tech look

The new dark gray composite with a carbon fiber look gives the chassis a unique high-tech look that matches the legendary performance of Slash RC models.

Precise proportional steering

The steering mechanics of the front wheels are implemented through the Dual-Bell-Crank system, which ensures precise operation of the links to the wheels and reduces the Bump steering effect. The steering has an integrated cam servo-saver that absorbs shocks and protects the servo against overload. Ball bearings are on the pivots for smooth operation.

Battery bed

The innovative bed securely holds the battery in place using a hinged partition with a latch. This makes replacing the battery a matter of seconds and you don't have to loosen clips or straps.

Adjustable links

Adjustable suspension links allow for individual tuning of the suspension geometry and thus change the driving characteristics for specific conditions. The model thus offers amazing variability!

Durable suspension components

The suspension components are reinforced with more material and have a stronger construction.

Shock Towers

Robust shock towers minimize flex and provide fixed points for body mounts. Reducing flex allows the suspension to absorb bumps without transferring them to the chassis.

Suspension Arms

Suspension arms maintain correct geometry throughout the entire range of motion. They are made of Traxxas' toughest composite material and provide the right amount of flexibility and durability even in cold weather.

Arm pivot connector

The steel arm pivot connector increases strength and keeps the wheel suspension in perfect alignment even in the event of bumps and hard impacts.

Model bumpers

The solid bumpers protect the model in the event of impacts. They are specially designed to absorb energy. The mock-up appearance corresponds to the real tubular bumpers on cars in Short Course races.

Waterproof* construction

The model uses a number of patented solutions that reduce the risk of water entering the electronics, such as a servo box seal or epoxy-encased controller electronics. This gives you the freedom to go for a ride regardless of the weather.

Friction clutch

The Revo Spec Torque Control friction clutch ensures smooth power transmission and is adjustable. A properly set slip ratio protects the drivetrain without reducing the model's acceleration.

Rear Differential

The composite planetary differential features a steel ring gear and hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength for demanding driving. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance, and its efficient design reliably distributes torque between the rear wheels.

Robust gear teeth

The pinion and spur gear use a robust 32DP gear module for reliable transmission of AC motor power. Compared to the conventional gear module (48DP), it is 1.5x larger.

Drive shafts

The drive shafts are reinforced in critical areas for high motor performance. The output shafts exit into hexagonal wheel carriers.

Ball bearings

Large ball bearings are used throughout the drive system for smooth operation. The bearings are equipped with a plastic cover to minimize dirt entry. This solution extends the life and simplifies model maintenance.

Clipless body

Replacing the battery is now very easy thanks to the clipless attachment of the body using the claws in the wheel arches. To remove, simply press the claws and slide the body upwards. Installation is even easier - you lay the body down, press from above and the latches snap into place.

Side reinforcements

Robust side NERF reinforcements protect the chassis in side impacts and provide support for the body.

Realistic SCT wheels

Replicated BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires provide excellent off-road grip and precise slippage on hard surfaces. The foam-padded tires are glued to 2.2" double-spoke rims.

Steering servo

The model is steered by a Traxxas 2057 digital servo. The servo is equipped with two ball bearings on a milled shaft and metal gears for maximum durability. The servo design is waterproof*.

V3200 Brushless Motor

The model is powered by a powerful Velineon V3200 brushless motor. The newly designed motor features intake ports and an internal cooling fan on the shaft that drives air through the center of the motor, reducing temperatures and maintaining consistent performance. In addition, the metal housing dissipates additional heat from the motor.

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of a Traxxas RC car, you need screw glue, high-quality tire glue, silicone oil for shock absorbers and a set of screwdrivers. From our range we recommend an affordable car tool set.

Screw glue is applied to the thread or head of the screw, which fixes it and prevents vibrations caused by driving from loosening the screw joint. Screw glue has a special composition that allows easy loosening of the screw joint with an appropriate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary superglue, a screw glued in this way could be impossible to loosen at all!

Tire glue is used to glue tires to the rim of the disc. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly glued to the wheel rim around the entire circumference! If the tire is not glued around the entire circumference, it may burst. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon and at the same time, the glue is flexible after hardening. Never use regular instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks in the tire would gradually form around the rims!

Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the model's shock absorbers. During normal operation, only slight silicone oil leaks from the shock absorber piston rods. If the surface of the shock absorber piston rods or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leak can be large. So-called repair kits are supplied for these cases. The tuning parts offer includes piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating for all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN coating can be easily identified by their golden-green color.
