Traxxas Slash 1:10 HD VXL 4WD RTR Blue

Extreme Heavy Duty kit installed

Factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty suspension and drivetrain components are made from the toughest materials Traxxas uses. Maxx-hollow drive shafts, HD arms, high-strength shock towers, along with struts make for the strongest suspension ever offered on a Slash model.

Clipless bodywork

The unique system of fixing the body with beaks in the wheel arches, allows 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. In addition, the body is attached to the frame with a larger area and there is no risk of it cracking.

Track-ready performance

Whether you ride in the backyard, in the park, at the skatepark, or on the race track, Slash is ready to provide the best performance and riding experience. In addition, you can adjust the driving characteristics thanks to the fully adjustable suspension with steel links and differentials with the possibility of changing the viscosity of the oil.

Chassis

The rigidity of the chassis is ensured by the proven spatial construction, which is light and strong at the same time. The chassis is made of high-quality nylon filled with carbon fibers. The low center of gravity gives the car excellent driving characteristics. The Slash 4X4 chassis is equipped with a long wheelbase of 324 mm for greater stability, while offering almost 72 mm of ground clearance for overcoming terrain. Integrated side braces help absorb energy in a side impact.

Modular design

The modular design allows the entire front section to be removed by loosening 5 screws and the rear assembly to be removed by loosening 4 screws. Within a minute you have access to all important components, model settings and service maintenance. Solid, reinforced bumpers protect the model from impacts, while they are designed to maintain high approach angles.

Metal differentials

The new Slash is equipped with quality differentials with metal gears. Sealing allows differentials to be tuned for specific operating conditions by changing the viscosity of the oil in them.

Friction clutch

The friction clutch uses a special semi-metallic friction material and aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and ensure consistent traction control. The clutch slip intensity can be adjusted without disassembling the model.

Long shrug

The long stroke of the shoulders dampens even sharp impacts and improves the controllability of the model. In every situation, it will have a precise and quick steering response. Adjustable oil shock absorbers and X-rings are used on the chassis for endless fun.

More durable suspension arms

In addition to the Extreme Heavy Duty kit, the model is also equipped with stronger suspension arms, which are even more resistant to a possible impact.

Oil dampers

The long stroke Ultra Shock oil shocks are designed to absorb every impact. Double sealing X-rings ensure smooth operation without oil leakage. The properties of the shock absorbers can be changed by preloading the springs, or by replacing the springs with other ones, and the behavior of the shock absorbers can also be adjusted by changing the viscosity of the oil used.

Race-tuned progressive springs are densely wound on the edges and sparsely wound in the center. Despite small bumps, the springs easily compress and keep the wheel in contact with the surface, while the coarser part of the shock absorber works in case of a strong impact.

Precise steering

The mechanics of turning the front wheels is realized by means of the Dula-Bell-Crank system, which ensures the precise movement of the rods to the wheels. The steering has an integrated servo-saver that absorbs shocks and protects the servo against overload.

Adjustable connectors

Adjustable steel wheel suspension connectors enable individual tuning of the suspension geometry and thereby changing driving characteristics for specific conditions. The model thus offers amazing variability!

Split-Spoke wheels

The model is equipped with SCT Split-Spoke wheels with 2.2/3” imitation Beadlock rings and BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain™ T/A® tires with excellent grip. The driver is a 12 mm hexagon.

Servo steering

Digital Traxxas servo 2075 high-torque waterproof with DC motor and nylon gears has a torque of 9.0 kg.cm and a speed of 0.17 s/60°@ 6.0 V. For water resistance*, the servo box and the output 1000 edges are fitted with seals. Two ball bearings provide very smooth operation.

Powerful AC motor

The Velineon 550 AC motor is precisely tuned for use in 1:10 RC cars. It provides car models with the perfect balance between performance and optimal efficiency. Another advantage is the long service life, which is determined only by ball bearings. The bearings can be purchased as part of the service kit under order number TRA3352R.

The motor is of the 550 series, has a 4-pole design, which provides up to twice the torque compared to the two-pole version. The rotor is dynamically balanced and wrapped with Kevlar fabric to increase strength.

Traxxas Stability Management

The Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) stability system allows you to experience not only power, speed, acceleration and cornering at extreme speed, but also guarantees much easier steering and control on slippery surfaces such as dust, smooth concrete or even ice and snow.

The receiver has a MEMS 3-axis gyro and an accelerometer, which evaluates the movement of the model on the order of 100 times per second and corrects the model's direction of travel by appropriate interventions in the steering of the front wheels. Traxxas TSM does not limit engine power - you have 100% control over engine power. Algorithms are tuned for each model separately. The level of assistance is set using the multi-function controller on the transmitter or possibly in the Traxxas Link application.

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need bolt glue, good quality tire glue, silicone shock oil and a set of screwdrivers. We recommend an affordable set of tools for cars from our range.

The thread or head of the screw is dripped with screw glue, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving prevent the screw joint from loosening. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with an adequate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it might be impossible to loosen a screw stuck like this!

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

Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the dampers of the model. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. So-called repair kits are supplied for these cases. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are delivered to all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN surface are easily recognized by their golden-green color.
