Traxxas Maxx Slash 1:8 6S 4WD Short Course Truck - FD Blue (+TQI 2-ch Link/VXL-6S/Velineon 2000kV/ TSM) FD

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.

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.

Maxx Slash uses rugged self-energising 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.

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.

The high-output Traxxas TQi 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 (TSM) 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.

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.

The 4s Maxx set the standard for durability with a nearly indestructible drivetrain. For the all-new 6s Maxx Slash, Traxxas pulled out all the stops to ensure every component would handle the extra power. Wide-face steel gears transfer power seamlessly to the innovative Cush Drive. A new heat-dissipating metal housing helps the Torque-Biasing Center Drive stay cool for massive punch and jaw-dropping acceleration. Huge gears (1.25 mod) on the front and rear differentials give Maxx Slash the toughest drivetrain in its class.

Water? Mud? Snow? Bring it on! Traxxas’ patented waterproofing solutions allow Maxx Slash to barrel full-throttle through extreme conditions that would sideline mere “water resistant” trucks. Traxxas waterproof electronics reliably extend your fun into all kinds of places that used to be off-limits.

Maxx Slash’s versatile battery tray accommodates a single large capacity 4s 6700, two 2s 7600, or two 3s 5000 battery packs for 6s running. Batteries are positioned deep in the hex-reinforced chassis for maximum protection and low-CG handling. A heavy duty snap-lock battery door keeps the batteries secure, but releases in seconds for quick access.

Built to handle brutal real-world punishment, the Maxx Slash LED Light Kit (part #10290) is waterproof and built Traxxas Tough for maximum fun. Blaze a path through the night with this high-output LED light kit. The included high voltage amplifier packs the muscle to efficiently power the high-power light bar with a tightly regulated output for stable lighting performance, without flickering or dimming as the battery voltage changes.
