A new low-CG chassis delivers razor-sharp handling with revised suspension tuning for an ultra-plush ride. From the street to the track, Slash 2WD Brushless renders an authentic short course racing experience like nothing else.
The impact of Slash on short course racing cannot be overstated. For 18 years, Slash’s unique combination of strength, durability, and fun has made it the best-selling truck in RC. Slash maintains its total dominance in the field, by always innovating, always improving. Slash 2WD Brushless continues that trend with over a dozen new features to keep you ahead of the pack.
Traxxas engineers recalibrated Slash’s suspension to maximize performance across all surfaces. The result is an ultra-plush ride that soaks up bumps to put Slash’s massive brushless power to the ground. Slash’s long-travel suspension and GTR shocks dramatically improve suspension compliance on rough terrain while its low-CG chassis delivers razor-sharp cornering on the track.
Slash’s low-CG chassis dramatically improves agility while a new rear tire compound enhances cornering speed. The ultra-soft rear tires lock the rear to the pavement, allowing the front tires to slide just enough to reduce traction rollovers. The result is faster turn-in speed, greater grip, and more fun as you bury the throttle and power through corners like never before.
Slash’s revolutionary clipless body holds firm no matter how rough the racing gets. Heavy-duty latches grip the body tightly, but release in just seconds for fast battery swaps on the pit bench. This convenient hidden latching system replaces traditional body clips with large, reinforced panels to maintain body integrity and resist pull-through damage.
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’s blistering speed.
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) works behind the scenes to harness Slash’s extreme 3s 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’s low-CG chassis holds the battery and electronics as low as possible for improved handling and increased corner speed. The rigid chassis is reinforced and optimized for the loads imparted by the suspension and powertrain. A new carbon fiber-look dark gray composite gives the chassis a high-tech appearance.
Slash’s Extreme Heavy-Duty parts work together to form a cohesive package of brute strength and maximum durability. Heavy-duty A-arms and driveshafts put Slash’s immense brushless power to the ground with beefed-up suspension components to resist impact damage. Slash 2WD Brushless sets the standard for durability at skate parks, racetracks, and everything in between.

Slash’s new Velineon® 3s power system is a brushless powerhouse that transforms 11.1 volts of 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 of efficiency with internal fan cooling for long run times.
Slash’s ultra-plush ride comes courtesy of new composite GTR shocks on all four corners. GTR shocks hold over 70% more oil than standard Ultra Shocks for consistent damping and a premium feel. 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.
Slash needs a fast and powerful steering servo to match the quick reflexes and agile handling of its low-CG chassis. Slash receives a new metal-gear servo for superior strength and durability along with an improved bellcrank steering assembly. The bellcrank’s cam-operated servo saver enhances steering precision and protects the servo from impacts.
With a top speed of over 50 mph, Slash must fight the wind to maintain its high-speed performance. Slash’s new aerodynamic body cuts through the air and increases downforce to deliver incredible straight-line stability. Heavy-duty clipless latches hold the body tightly for rough-and-tumble action, but release in just seconds for fast battery swaps.
Slash’s replica BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires offer excellent grip in the dirt and just the right amount of slide on pavement. A new ultra-soft rear compound enhances road handling and reduces traction rolling. Their authentic scale appearance and realistic performance add to the racing experience.
Designed for 3-cell LiPo batteries, 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 and an integrated cooling fan for consistent power, run after run.
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.
Slash’s rugged shock towers minimize flex and provide a rigid mounting point for the body. Reducing flex allows the suspension to soak up bumps without upsetting the chassis for a smooth and controlled ride.
Your RC experience should be filled with fun and adventure, not limited by the electronics. Slash’s new receiver box is molded into the chassis for increased strength. A patented O-ring seal keeps water out, giving you the freedom to live out your wildest adventures, regardless of the weather.

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 (requires TQi transmitter with installed wireless module).
Slash 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 secure until you release it.
Slash features a new metal-gear servo with the durability on an all-metal gear train. The new servo delivers quick, precise control with the security and convenience of fully waterproof construction.
Slash’s high-performance bellcrank steering system nearly eliminates bump steer for precise wheel placement and increased cornering stability. A cam-operated servo saver increases steering precision while protecting the servo against impacts.
Tough integrated nerf bars offer side chassis protection against the fender-to-fender impacts of track competition and backyard bashing.
Slash’s heavy-duty suspension arms are molded in a new high-tech gray color from our toughest composite material to provide just the right amount of flex to resist breaking. These suspension arms stand up to even the most punishing drivers for non-stop action.
A steel front tie bar provides additional strength to keep the suspension in perfect alignment and protect against impacts.
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.
High-flying stunts won’t upset Slash’s tough clipless body. Locking tabs hold the body tightly, but release in just seconds. Slash’s hidden latching system maximizes convenience and scale realism by removing traditional body clips which would interrupt the body’s clean lines.
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.
Heavy-duty steel turnbuckles allow trackside camber and toe tuning for greater agility and high-speed performance. Captured rod ends provide unmatched durability, and they won’t pop off during a race.
Engineered for maximum strength, Extreme Heavy-Duty components fortify Slash with a full complement of driveline and suspension upgrades designed to work together as a complete package. Slash sets a new standard for durability at skate parks, racetracks, and backyards.
The Magnum™ 272 transmission features all metal gear internals riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks.
