Traxxas combines legendary Slash durability with the latest high-tech features to create a world-class drag racer. Wrapped in a beautiful fully-detailed Chevrolet® C10 or Ford® Fox Mustang body, the result is nothing short of perfection.
Traxxas Drag Slash® delivers the ultimate drag racing experience for racers of all skill levels. Innovative performance features like the exclusive Drag Mode with Trans Brake get Drag Slash off the line in record time. Proven Velineon® horsepower delivers strong, reliable launches through the fortified Pro Series Magnum 272R™ transmission for race-winning performance. Drag Slash does it all with your choice of classic Chevy C10 or Fox-body Mustang style. This is no prep racing the Traxxas way.
The new Drag Slash Mustang allows Ford fans join the no prep drag racing scene in classic 80’s style. Modeled after the notchback 5.0 Mustang Fox body, the latest Drag Slash brings the full racing experience to drivers of all skill levels.
Drag Slash is built on the proven low center of gravity chassis to hold the battery and electronics close to the pavement for track-hugging stability. Modular construction and premium hex hardware make Drag Slash easy to maintain for peak performance.
Feature-packed to perform, the Pro Series transmission is equipped with a silicone-filled differential, aluminum motor plate, steel gears, and an integrated input gear and top shaft. An all-new gearbox with reinforced arm mounts houses the components.
Wide Mickey Thompson slicks on Weld Racing® wheels are a classic combo. Traxxas replicates the legendary look—and performance. Developed with extensive testing, the slicks’ unique compound is formulated to balance long tire life with maximum traction.
The Velineon VXL-3s system is paired with optimized gearing to take advantage of the maximum torque output from the Velineon 3500 motor. The VXL-3s system delivers strong, reliable muscle to lay down the quickest passes, run after run.
TSM makes racing more fun by allowing the driver to experience the fastest possible straight line acceleration with incredible stability and precise control. Adjust the level of TSM assistance from 100% down to zero for racing classes when assistance is prohibited.
Press a button on the TQi receiver to enable Traxxas’ exclusive Drag Race Mode. When activated, Drag Race Mode disables TSM during acceleration to help you hone your racing skills. Once you cross the finish line, TSM dramatically improves braking performance and prevents spin outs.
Trans Brake allows unbeatable launch precision and lightning-fast reaction time. Depress the Trans Brake and hold throttle trigger at your desired position; release the Trans Brake and the Velineon system instantly applies the throttle level you set. Patent Pending
No matter which body you choose, Drag Slash is a stunner at the strip. The beautifully rendered ‘67 Chevy C10 pickup comes fully detailed with a molded bumper and grille with LED-read light buckets front and rear. The Ford-licensed Mustang body is modeled after the notchback 5.0 Fox-chassis with its lighter weight and increased structural rigidity. Both bodies feature molded rear wings to keep the chassis planted at speed and bring home the win.
An extended length wheelie bar with 5 fixed levels of adjustment provides ultimate rigidity and arrow straight launches in any track conditions. Two sizes of wheels are included to further refine tuning. From low and mean to wild, wheels-up action the full length of the track, Drag Slash does it all.
Not every drag race takes place on a smooth prepared track; that’s just part of the “no prep” scene. The Drag Slash’s waterproof electronics are ready to take on any back street grudge match, regardless of rain or water on the track.
Drag Slash is incredibly well equipped right out of the box—but out of the box is just the beginning. Traxxas offers a full line of accessories and upgrades including LED lighting kits, aluminum components, color-molded parts, tuning fluids, and more.

The Magnum 272R transmission is built for hard-hitting torque. The 272R features a blue-anodized aluminum motor plate, all-metal gears, and a sealed silicone-filled 4-gear differential tuned specifically for drag racing with 500K heavy-weight diff fluid.
It’s easy to drive like a pro with Traxxas Stability Management®. TSM makes racing more fun by allowing the driver to experience the fastest possible straight line acceleration with incredible stability and precise control. After you cross the finish line, TSM dramatically improves braking performance and helps prevent spin outs.
Think you’re quick on the trigger? This is quicker. Hold the TQi transmitter’s Trans Brake Switch and set the throttle at the starting line – when the flag drops, release the switch for the quickest launch every time.
Scale realism meets engineered performance. Ultra-wide Mickey Thompson® ET Drag® Slicks feature an innovative carcass design and molded high-density foam inserts for massive traction off the line and down the track.
Exclusive to the Chevy C10 body, a bi-level grille and LED-ready headlight surrounds are separately molded to replicate the “real thing” and deliver display model detail with durability for high speed street action. Injection molded side mirrors give the Mustang extra scale detail and an authentic scale appearance.
Drag Slash’s lustrous paint shines with a deep gloss and light-catching good looks beneath the durable, polycarbonate body. From the stand to the strip, the C10 and Fox Mustang Bodies turns heads with their dramatic presence.
Drag Slash’s Chevy C10 body recreates the flat-plate tinwork of full-size draggers with a recessed bed that’s realistically “tubbed” to hug wide Mickey Thompson slicks. Functional, authentic details like this make Drag Slash the best-looking no-prep racer on the strip.
Drag Slash’s large Pro Street-style wing is a functional part of its drag-prepped design. The wing is injection molded for durability and strength. At speed, the wing generates traction-enhancing downforce and reduces drag-inducing turbulence.
If a run goes wrong, Drag Slash can take the hit with its chassis-mounted front bumper. Firm foam pads the body as the heavy-duty upper and lower bumper supports protect the front suspension.
Ultra Shocks are proven performers on Traxxas’ hardest-hitting off-roaders. Drag Slash’s Ultra Shocks are strip-ready with stiffer springs, thicker silicone oil, and custom bump stops optimized to provide smooth ride control and race-winning grip.
Rugged 4mm steel turnbuckles make it easy to experiment with Drag Slash’s camber and toe-in, no disassembly required. Heavy-duty rod ends and captured, large-diameter pivot balls assure race-ready durability, and an adjustment wrench is included.
Slam the body low for smooth tracks or raise it for rougher surfaces. Drag Slash lets you set the perfect ride height to suit track conditions. The front body posts are fully adjustable, and adjustable rear body posts are available as an accessory.
A low center of gravity improves stability and handling precision. The low-slung chassis allows the body to hug the track with an aggressive, aero stance for peak drag-racing performance, and sleek, modular design simplifies maintenance.
The difference between advancing and going home early boils down to traction off the line. Drag Slash gives you maximum control with a five-position wheelie bar and two choices of wheel size. The wheelie bar’s reinforced dual-ladder frame provides maximum rigidity to get the holeshot—and the win!
Drag Slash’s gear mesh stays perfectly set launch after launch, even as high-power drag launches try to force the gears apart. The rigid aluminum motor plate and fixed-mesh insert prevents motor movement for maximum reliability and precise gear mesh.
Different tracks require different levels of grip, that’s just part of no-prep racing. Drag Slash makes it easy to change your differential’s locking action by varying the fluid viscosity inside. Disconnect the driveshafts and open the hatch; you’ll be on your way to victory in minutes.
The race-ready transmission is built for massive torque with high-strength steel input, idler, and differential gears and large-diameter bearings. The input gear is keyed and press fit onto the top shaft for greater precision and strength than a pin-mounted gear.
The heavy-duty steel-gear differential is X-ring and gasket-sealed and silicone-filled to resist unloading under power. Oil viscosity is optimized for drag racing, and the diff is easy to refill with thicker or thinner fluid to suit track conditions.
Fortified for hard launches and superior durability, the Drag Slash’s Extreme-Duty driveshafts are 20% larger than standard Slash driveshafts for outrageous power handling. The larger diameter shafts offer the same articulation and suspension travel, but are rated for even more tire-shredding torque.
The Pro Series Magnum 272R transmission is engineered for strength with its rugged, reinforced case. The case halves engage precisely to seal out dirt and debris, and create a rigid structure to support the motor, suspension arms, and wheelie bar. The thick T-6 aluminum motor plate resists flex and acts as a heatsink.
The Pro Series differential is ball-bearing supported directly at the differential case, rather than mounting bearings on the differential outputs. This design better supports the differential, reduces bearing drag, and isolates differential action.
