Power reaches the wheels through massive Maxx-duty driveshafts with 6 mm axles for ultimate strength and durability.
The TQi™ Sport transmitter packs the range and performance of the TQi into a compact design for maximum comfort and portability. The ergonomic grip features a removable adapter to accommodate smaller hands and simple one-button programming for ease-of-use. A class-leading high-output 2.4 GHz signal delivers the outstanding range and glitch-free performance required by Slash 4X4’s blistering speed.
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) works behind the scenes to harness Slash 4X4's extreme brushless horsepower. TSM maximizes acceleration and braking by keeping Slash arrow straight without pulling power or dulling throttle response, even on low-traction surfaces. TSM can also be switched off directly from the TQi Sport transmitter.

Slash 4X4’s new Velineon 3s power system is a brushless powerhouse that transforms 3s LiPo power into brutal acceleration and 50+ mph speed, out of the box with no gearing changes required. The fan-cooled VX3 speed control is feature-packed and simple to use with Traxxas EZ-Set® one-button programming. The powerful V3200 motor is a model speed, power, and efficiency.
New composite GTR shocks complement Slash 4X4’s long-travel suspension to create a supremely plush ride. GTR shocks hold over 70% more oil than standard Ultra Shocks for consistent damping performance. X-ring seals keep oil in and dirt out for smooth suspension compression and rebound. Spring preload and ride height changes are as simple as turning the threaded collar and the spring retainers are captured with a screw so they can't pop off.
With a top speed of over 50 mph, Slash 4X4 must fight the wind to maintain its high-speed performance. A new aerodynamic body cuts through the air and increases downforce to deliver arrow-straight high-speed stability. Heavy-duty clipless latches hold the body tightly for rough-and-tumble action, but release in just seconds for fast battery swaps.
Slash 4X4 VX3’s low-CG chassis positions the battery and electronics as low as possible. A low center of gravity dramatically increases corner speed and stability no matter where you drive. The chassis is reinforced by integrated ribs that form a triangulated structure for maximum rigidity. The long-wheelbase chassis is ultra-smooth underneath to reduce drag and prevent snags.
Sealed front and rear differentials utilize steel gears for maximum durability. Silicone gaskets and x-ring seals allow you to tune the amount of differential locking action by varying the viscosity of the fluid inside.
Four tough latches grip Slash 4X4’s body tightly for intense action, but release in just seconds for quick battery changes. Slash bodies come pre-painted with applied decals, making Slash Ready-To-Race as soon as you are.
Durable one-piece camber links are perfect for bashing because they maintain proper suspension geometry and never require adjustments. Captured rod ends provide unmatched durability and they won't pop off.
Designed for 3-cell LiPo power, the V3200 motor is optimized for extreme power and efficiency with a large 5 mm output shaft. Ultra-high temperature sintered Neodymium magnets provide massive torque and linear power. The unique low-maintenance design features high-speed ball bearings with both internal and external cooling fans for consistent high-power output, run after run.
Tough integrated chassis nerf bars offer side body support to absorb the shocks that occur during door-to-door racing action.
The fully waterproof VX3 ESC transforms 11.1 volts of LiPo power into 50+ mph performance with the simplicity of Traxxas’ EZ-Set one-button programming. A large aluminum heat sink with cooling fan keeps temperatures down for longer run times. The VX3 comes loaded with high-tech features like race-inspired High-Resolution Linear Braking and real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link™.
Slash’s waterproof receiver box keeps the receiver safe and dry while still allowing easy access for maintenance. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a patented water-tight seal for true all-weather fun.
The TQi Sport receiver is compatible with all TQi and TQi Sport transmitters. A built-in failsafe returns the throttle to neutral and holds the steering in the last known position in the event of a signal loss. The receiver features full Inclinometer and telemetry functionality accessible through a TQi radio using the Traxxas Link app.
Slash 4X4 Brushless holds batteries securely in place with the convenience of a rugged clipless battery strap. Swing the heavy-duty strap up and out of the way to swap batteries. Once loaded, just snap the tab into the latch and your battery stays safe and secure until you release it.

Slash 4X4’s Replica Kumho tires offer excellent grip in the dirt and just the right amount of slide on pavement. The tires and race-tuned foam inserts come pre-glued on tough 2.2″ Split-Spoke SCT wheels with simulated beadlock rings
Slash 4X4’s dual-bellcrank design pivots smoothly even in the harshest conditions. An integrated cam-operated servo saver protects the steering servo from crash impacts without sacrificing steering precision
Molded from our toughest composite material, Slash 4X4’s heavy-duty suspension arms provide just the right amount of flex to resist breaking—even in cold weather! From skate parks to 10-foot ramps, these suspension arms stand up to even the most punishing drivers for non-stop fun behind the wheel.
Slash’s hex-drive hardware provides a more positive and secure connection than other fasteners. The black-oxide coating provides a rust resistant high-tech look and feel.
Slash’s front and rear bumpers mount solidly to reinforced bulkheads to absorb impacts. The tube-style bumpers offer rugged protection while looking the part of a true short course race truck. Slash's front bumper also features bosses to mount accessory LED lights.
Slash 4X4 comes outfitted with the Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kit already installed for ultimate strength and durability. The axle carriers, caster blocks, and steering blocks are beefed up with more material and stronger construction.
Slash’s 4X4 driveline is built to handle extreme brushless horsepower power. The steel pinion and spur gears feature large 32-pitch teeth for total reliability no matter how much power you pour on.
Slash 4X4’s Torque-Biasing Center Drive absorbs shocks to improve driveline durability and distributes equal power to all four wheels for mind-blowing acceleration. It’s easy to tune for different traction surfaces by replacing the oil inside the sealed housing.
The one-piece center driveshaft is ultra-rigid for maximum power transfer between the differentials, but still flexible enough to resist impact damage. A central bearing support ensures the driveshaft runs straight and true, even at high RPM.
Slash 4X4’s Maxx-duty driveshafts with beefed-up U-joints are built to handle brushless power without breaking a sweat. Large 6 mm axles key into the included steel wheel hexes for unmatched strength and durability.
Maximizing speed requires as little friction as possible. Slash 4X4 Brushless rides on precision rubber-sealed bearings for super low-friction performance and maximum protection in dusty environments. They are used throughout the truck and are virtually maintenance free.
