Traxxas Slash - Short Course Race Truck! 5805
The new Traxxas Slash Short Course Race Truck puts you in the drivers seat for intense fender-to-fender, high-flying off-road action. The full-scale Short Course Race Trucks embody the spirit of Traxxas R/C with their extreme 800+ horsepower racing engines, full-throttle, dirt-roosting power slides, giant suspension travel, and Supercross-style big-air jumps. The Traxxas Slash brings all the action home so you can experience the high-speed head-to-head competition at the track or in your own backyard.
The Slash was inspired by the CORR Pro-2 class. The Pro-2 class specifies rear-wheel drive trucks purpose built to fly over jumps and rip full-throttle through the turns. The Traxxas Slash hangs it out for an all new way to challenge your driving skills. The 4-wheel independent suspension has been carefully tuned to replicate the Pro-2 driving and handling experience as closely as possible. The scale appearing tires provide just the right amount of bite and thick, blinding clouds of dirt roost.
Sealed Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Traxxas shocked enthusiasts with the release of our exclusive watertight, selaed electronics in the E-Maxx that provided the freedom to drive where you want to drive through water, mud, snow, and other wet-running conditions that wouldn't have been possible before. Now the Traxxas Slash is only the second Ready-To-Race model ever to come equipped with this brand new technology. The new XL-5 electronic speed control and the mini receiver are sealed against the elements giving you the freedom [to] go places you might not have though[t] possible. It opens up a whole new world of adventure and fun. Wet muddy tracks are no problem for the Slash.
