All New TRAXXAS MAXX SLASH 6S 4WD RTR SHORT COURSE TRUCK - Requires Batteries & Charger

The Slash has been an icon of the RC world, and now this Maxx version is sure to set the bar even higher.

Being big is good. Being the perfect size for maximum performance is best. Maxx Slash is the perfect size to power aggressively over the roughest terrain imaginable, yet it is still feels light, responsive, and agile.

Overview

The Traxxas Slash has now been turned up to the Maxx 1/8 Scale XL!

Traxxas has been making waves with the standard Slash for over 15 years and now they have made it bigger and badder. Featuring a drivetrain and electronics that can handle 22.2 volts (6s) of power, Traxxas has also fitted the Slash with bigger and beefier belted SC tyres so you don't have to worry about blowing out the wheels with the Slashes "Maxximum" power. To help you keep that power down, the Slash is fitted with an adjustable wheelie bar that allows a low setting for maximum grip, and a high setting for endless amounts of wheelie fun.

Bigger, Badder, Better!

Is bigger better? In the case of the Slash, we think so. The Maxx Slash is the perfect size to power over some of the roughest terrain possible. Despite the size of the Maxx Slash, it feels light and responsive and truly provides the best of both worlds for bashing and driving as quickly as possible.

SHORT COURSE SUPREMACY

MAXX-SIZED SLASH

Being big is good. Being the perfect size for maximum performance is best. Maxx Slash is the perfect size to power aggressively over the roughest terrain imaginable, yet it is still feels light, responsive, and agile.

MANAGED AIRFLOW

Traxxas' pioneering work with the 100 mph XO-1 supercar paved the way for Maxx Slash's aerodynamic design. Underneath the truck, interlocking skid plates create a smooth undertray to reduce drag. Ventilation channels in the body reduce lift to improve high-speed stability.

REINFORCED CLIPLESS BODY

Maxx Slash uses rugged self-energizing clips at all four wheels to keep the body secure until you release it. Additional side supports fit into the specially designed nerf bars to increase body rigidity. A tough inner cage supports the body with oversize outer reinforcements to protect it against wear and tear-through damage.

OUR MOST POTENT VXL-6S POWER SYSTEM

The VXL-6s speed control is custom-tuned to extract maximum torque from the Velineon 2000 kV motor. Greater efficiency delivers more power under the curve for additional mid-range punch and acceleration you can see and feel. Cooling fins are machined into the motor housing for cooler running and peak power.

TQI RADIO SYSTEM

The high-output Traxxas TQiTM 2.4 GHz radio system delivers superior range, 30-model memory, and maximum control. Add the Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511, sold separately) to send real-time telemetry to your smart phone using the free Traxxas Link" app. You can also dial back the extreme power to a level that is comfortable for each individual.

TRAXXAS STABILITY MANAGEMENT

Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)R lets you experience Maxx Slash's brutal 6s power and 70+ mph speed with confidence and control. TSM works behind the scenes, reducing oversteer to avoid spinouts without ever limiting power output.

STEEL-CORE HYBRID DRIVESHAFTS

New Steel-Core hybrid driveshafts feature innovative internal steel cores wrapped in durable nylon composite materials. They deliver the durability of steel combined with smooth-running telescopic action for the ultimate 6s capable driveshafts. New U-joint yokes are modified to improve e-clip retention by eliminating the e-clip on one side. The stub axle assembly is now all-steel for even more strength.

Aggressive Short Course Body

Maxx Slash retains the unmistakable short course body style of its Slash lineage but injects it with a healthy dose of high-horsepower adrenaline. Wide fenders and sculpted lines give Maxx Slash a more aggressive look while rugged body reinforcements keep it looking fresh after a rough day at the track.

Short Course Wheels

Maxx Slash rides on dual-diameter short course wheels with a large glue surface for secure bead mounting. The wheels are fully sealed to keep out dirt and water that can upset tire balance and degrade the foam inserts. An internal 17mm splined hub provides maximum power transfer with a flanged outer locknut for a more realistic appearance.

Adjustable Wheelie Bar

With the hard-hitting punch of 6s power on hand, an adjustable wheelie bar is required. Maxx Slash's adjustable wheelie bar maximizes traction and control during full throttle acceleration. Set it low to prevent lift during full throttle acceleration on hard surfaces, or set it higher to serve as a transparent backstop during high-speed, high-flying off-road action.

Heavy Duty Bumpers

Heavy-duty front and rear Slash-style bumpers help protect critical components from impacts. The bumpers, combined with a short course body that covers the tires, allow for fender-to-fender contact for competitive and authentic racing action.

Belted Maxx SC Tires
