While most Slashes come in 1/10-scale, a smaller 1/16-scale 4×4 version is offered as well. The differences between the models range from brushed versus brushless motor setups, electronic upgrades such as Total Stability Management and even scale. It comes in many flavors including multiple 2WD versions, a stable of 4×4 versions like the one you see here, and there’s even one that runs on nitro fuel. The Traxxas Slash line of short course trucks has a well-earned reputation for driving fun, easy maintenance, endless modification possibilities and ultimate durability. What I learned after familiarizing myself with the truck is that it is primed for bashing, racing, modification and all around fun for RC newcomers and pros alike. For seasoned RC-ers, this may be a shock of a confession since the Slash is one of Traxxas’ mainstay kits and is arguably one of the most popular vehicles in all of surface-bound RC. Compare the durability and features to others and you'll see that only Traxxas makes them truly brushless ready.It may be hard to believe, but my time spent with this edition of the Traxxas Slash 4×4 was my first time ever piloting an RC short course truck and likewise, first time with the Traxxas Slash platform. An accessory battery hold down ( 5827X) is available for use with large capacity LiPo battery packs* that can extend speed and run time. The factory-installed planetary differential is Traxxas-tough with hardened steel gears that never need adjusting! Perfect for long-lasting, all-day fun. The included steel transmission gears, full ball bearings, and high-quality metal turnbuckle links are the winning setup for brushless durability. Bigger roosts and longer hang-time are right at your fingertips. Add an 11.1-volt LiPo battery and you have the potential to double your speed. Simply bolt it in and a 7-cell NiMH battery boosts speed to 40+mph. The Traxxas Slash is built for extreme Velineon™ brushless horsepower (sold separately). The patented Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for unrestricted current flow with today's high-power batteries.
