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
Traxxas rocked the world 15 years ago with the release of the Slash, launching a short course revolution and a generation of enthusiasts that have propelled Slash to become the best-selling truck in RC. Now, Slash is going even bigger. We MAXXed the Power, Size, Durability, and Excitement!

An all-metal drivetrain and Steel-Core hybrid driveshafts give Maxx Slash all the Traxxas-Tough durability that made Slash famous.
RIGID LOW-CG CHASSIS
Traxxas engineers relied on years of real-world testing with the nearly indestructible Maxx as inspiration for Maxx Slash's revolutionary chassis design. Hex-reinforcements cover nearly every flat surface for exceptional rigidity. An ultra-tough composite structure of interlocking components allows the chassis to absorb massive shocks while retaining its tight tolerances.
SUPERIOR PROTECTION
Maxx Slash's skid plates enclose the center driveshaft inside a rigid backbone for superior protection. The ultra-thick skid plates interlock for a clean appearance and snag-free performance in the wild. The rugged skid plates absorb punishment to protect critical bulkheads and driveline components.
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
Large-diameter Maxx SC tires feature wide tread blocks for sure-footed traction on just about any surface. The innovative belted design combines with a long-wearing rubber compound for total control across a variety of terrain. Belted Maxx SC tires work just as well on pavement and provide realistic performance as you powerslide Maxx Slash around corners.
Shock Tower Design
Maxx Slash's integrated shock towers are part of the chassis and produce a rigid, triangulated structure to mount and protect the shock caps. Heavy-duty body mounts secure directly to the reinforced shock towers for maximum strength and impact resistance.
Fixed Mesh Motor Cradle
The motor and cradle join together to form a fixed gear mesh. A heavily reinforced mounting plate in the chassis keeps the motor and spur gear in perfect alignment. This innovative solution eliminates flex and greatly extends gear life.
Low-CG Chassis
The new chassis lowers the center of gravity and extends the wheelbase for responsive handling. A fighter jet aesthetic wraps around an engineered truss design that builds in strength and rigidity where it's needed most. Proven-tough Maxx bulkheads are tightly integrated front and rear.
Battery Compartment
Maxx Slash utilizes Sledge's battery compartment and retention design to provide versatility and superior protection for your battery investment. The precise snap-lock hold down makes it easy to install and secure Traxxas iD batteries, including a single large capacity 4s 6700, two 2s 7600, or two 3s 5000 battery packs for 6s running.
Waterproof Electronics
Maxx Slash is not limited by mud, snow, or water and neither is your fun. A sealed box protects the TQi receiver from water for all-weather driving. An easy-access port on top allows instant access to the receiver while retaining the box's waterproof integrity.
Maxx® Steering Servo
The powerful steering servo mounts solidly to the Maxx Slash chassis for enhanced support and impact resistance. With its proven durability in MAXX monster trucks, the digital, ball bearing design delivers 285 oz-in of torque for responsive and precise steering control.
Fixed Camber and Toe Links
Fixed, non-adjustable camber and toe links provide ultimate durability by ensuring that the action doesn't get sidelined by broken turnbuckle. Double shear connections wherever the links attach eliminate annoying pop offs and tear outs.
Long-Travel Suspension
Maxx Slash flies across washboard and soaks up bumps like a Baja truck thanks to its long-travel suspension. Adjustable suspension droop allows you to customize Maxx Slash to dominate any surface. Use full travel for maximum capability over rough off-road terrain or tighten the suspension travel for responsive handling and grip on the track.
Heavy Duty Suspension Arms
Maxx Slash's oversized double wishbone suspension arms maintain proper suspension geometry throughout the entire range of travel. Double-shear connections provide incredible strength and impact resistance. Tough composites further resist impact damage, even in cold weather.
GT-Maxx Aluminum Shocks
GT-Maxx aluminum shocks feature an extra-large bore and more oil capacity for consistent ultra-plush damping. Extra- large diameter shock shafts move through double X-ring seals for smooth, stiction-free performance. The brilliantly anodized machined aluminum bodies are color matched to the body graphics.
Full Contact Sealed Bearings
Maxx Slash utilizes full contact sealed bearings throughout the driveline to keep out the grime and grit. Less downtime for cleaning and maintaining bearings equals more run time and more fun.
Torque-Biasing Center Drive
