Built Slash Tough
Traxxas Slash® set the standard for durability, performance, and fun by which all other short course trucks are measured. Now Slash 4X4 VXL includes a factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit to take brutal punishment in stride. Innovations like TSM®, modular chassis design, and ultra-efficient shaft drive complement Slash’s track-tested precision. Slash 4X4’s extreme Velineon® brushless horsepower provides dirt-roosting torque and screaming 60+ mph speed with a TQi™ radio system to keep everything under precise control.
Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit
Slash's factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit replaces key drivetrain and suspension components with beefed-up parts made for ultimate strength and durability. Maxx-duty® driveshafts and HD suspension arms, along with upgraded shock towers and outer suspension components, make this is the strongest driveline ever offered in a Slash.
Track-Ready Performance
From races at the local track to backyard bash sessions, Slash 4X4 is Ready-To-Race® right out of the box. Slash’s track-bred chassis features an integrated transponder mount and extended battery tray for optimum weight positioning. Slash gives you the winning edge with a fully adjustable steel-link suspension and tunable oil-filled differentials to put the power down smoothly.
Clipless Body Mounting
Slash 4X4’s tough clipless body holds firm no matter how rough the action gets. Heavy-duty latches grip the body tightly, but release in just seconds to access the chassis. Slash’s hidden latching system replaces time-consuming and inconvenient body clips with large, reinforced panels to resist pull-through damage.

Heavy Duty Turnbuckles
Heavy duty adjustable 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 in a race.
Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks™
Slash 4X4's oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize X-rings for a perfect seal and super-smooth performance. Adjust the ride height and pre-load on the white powder-coated progressive springs with the included spacer clips. Ultra Shocks are fully tunable with a wide range of oils, springs, and pistons available.
Long Wheelbase Chassis
A long 12.75″ wheelbase chassis increases Slash 4X4's high-speed stability and straight-line performance. The interlocking modular chassis is smooth on the bottom with nearly 3 inches of center ground clearance to avoid snagging and high centering.
Integrated Chassis Nerf Bars
Tough integrated chassis nerf bars offer side body support to help absorb the racing impacts of fender-to-fender track competition or backyard bashing.
Fixed Gear Adapter
Slash's fixed gear adapters take the guesswork out of setting your gear mesh with five preset gearing positions. Insert the motor screw through the desired gearing position for a perfect gear mesh every time. The fixed positioning also keeps the gear mesh tight, even after the harshest impacts.
Velineon 3500 Motor
A sensorless Velineon 3500 Kv motor delivers extreme performance with nearly zero maintenance. Ultra high-temperature Neodymium magnets, high-speed bearings, and a precision, 4-pole balanced rotor deliver smooth running and long life.
VXL-3s ESC
The waterproof Velineon VXL-3s speed control is packed with technology to deliver maximum power. Large heat sink, integrated on/off switch, and three programmable drive profiles top the feature list. Two-stage low voltage detection allows full LiPo compatibility, including powerful 11.1-volt 3s LiPo packs!
Long-Travel Suspension
Slash 4X4 has huge amounts of seemingly bottomless, ultra-plush suspension travel to swallow up jumps and delivers incredible rough-track control. Performance-optimized suspension components provide maximum articulation without binding or interference.
Waterproof Receiver Box
A waterproof receiver box keeps Slash 4X4's 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.
5-Channel Receiver with Failsafe
Integrated telemetry ports in the receiver transmit real-time data to the TQi transmitter when using the Traxxas Link™ App and telemetry sensors (sold separately). In the event of signal loss, the receiver automatically returns the throttle to neutral and holds the last steering position.
Digital Steering Servo
Slash 4X4 VXL’s extreme speed and quick reflexes require a steering servo that’s both strong and fast. The included digital high-speed, high-torque servo features ball bearings for precise control and quick reflexes.
BFGoodrich Tires and SCT Wheels
Slash 4X4's BFGoodrich® tires have excellent grip in the dirt and just the right amount of slide on pavement. Their authentic scale appearance and realistic performance add to the racing experience. The tires come mounted and pre-glued to 2.2″ replica short course wheels.
Traxxas High-Current Connector
The patented High-Current Connectors funnel maximum power to the vehicle’s electronics. High-Current Connectors also provide the quickest, safest charge for Traxxas batteries.
Adjustable Battery Hold-Down
Slash 4X4’s adjustable battery hold-down accommodates a wide variety of batteries from NiMH packs to powerful 3-cell LiPo batteries. The extended battery tray allows the packs to be positioned forward or backward for front/rear weight bias tuning. An optional battery expander kit (sold separately) is available for use with oversize batteries.
Dual Bellcrank Steering with Servo Saver
Slash 4X4’s dual-bellcrank design pivots smoothly even in the harshest conditions. An integrated cam-type servo saver protects the steering servo from crash impacts without sacrificing steering precision
Heavy Duty Suspension Arms
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.
Hex Hardware
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.
Clipless Race Replica Body
Slash now gets a clipless polycarbonate body styled to look just like full-size race trucks. Four tough latches grip the 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.
Scale Front and Rear Bumpers
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.
Extreme Suspension Components
Slash 4X4 comes outfitted with the Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit already installed for ultimate strength and durability. The axle carriers, C-hubs, steering blocks, and shock towers are beefed up with more material and stronger construction.
Upgraded Slipper Clutch
Slash 4X4’s slipper clutch features larger alloy pressure plates and high-temperature aluminum pads for superior power handling. The slipper clutch delivers equal power distribution front to rear for instant throttle response through the drive system and aggressive four-wheel-drive grip.
Large 32-Pitch Gears
Designed from the start to handle big brushless horsepower, Slash 4X4 VXL's driveline uses a rugged spur gear with large 0.8 module (32-pitch) teeth for extra strength and reliable performance, no matter how much power you pour on.
Maxx-Duty Driveshafts
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.
Sealed Ball Bearings
Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Vestibulum tortor quam, feugiat vitae, ultricies eget, tempor sit amet, ante. Donec eu libero sit amet quam egestas semper. Aenean ultricies mi vitae est.
Sealed Steel-Gear Differentials
Sealed front and rear differentials utilize steel-gear internals for maximum durability. Silicone gaskets and X-ring seals allow you to tune the amount of locking action by varying the viscosity of the fluid inside the differentials.
