Traxxas Slash 2WD Brushless 1/10 Scale Short Course Truck RTR with TQi Sport & TSM (Model 58434-4)
The Traxxas Slash 2WD Brushless delivers everything that made the original Slash an icon — raw speed, legendary durability, and unmatched out-of-the-box performance — now upgraded with the latest Velineon V3200 brushless power system and VX3 ESC for a short course experience that's faster and more capable than ever. Hit 35+ mph on a 2S LiPo or push past 50+ mph on 3S without touching the gearing, all backed by the torque and linear power delivery of ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets that make the V3200 one of the most potent motors in its class. The new low-CG chassis keeps batteries and electronics planted low in the frame for dramatically sharper corner speed and stability, while the long 13.2" wheelbase adds a confidence-inspiring planted feel at speed. Reinforced with tough tube bumpers, nerf bars, HD suspension arms, beefed-up caster blocks, axle carriers, and steering blocks, the Slash 2WD Brushless is engineered to take hits and keep running.
The new aerodynamic clipless body eliminates body posts and clips entirely — snapping on securely for intense action while coming off in seconds for battery access — and generates added downforce at high speed while resisting pull-through damage. The VX3 ESC brings three programmable drive profiles to match your driving style, along with real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link, High-Resolution Linear Braking, and a large aluminum heat sink with cooling fan for sustained hard use. Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) sharpens straight-line acceleration and braking on slick surfaces and keeps steering composure in check during throttle-on powerslides — all without ever dulling throttle response. The new TQi Sport 2.4GHz radio system adds a removable grip adapter, 30-model memory, and a new integrated watertight receiver box with O-ring sealed cover for worry-free all-condition driving.
