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!
The Maxx Slash Traxxas.com
6s Power
Maxx Slash punches harder and faster with brutal 6s power and 70+mph speed. Low centre of gravity and new belted tires keep it all in control.
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.
Maxx Strength
The Maxx platform has already proven it’s synonymous with durability. The engineering on Maxx Slash continues to innovate, adding even more strength for critical 6s power handling and faster, harder-hitting action.
Belted Tires
Maxx SC belted tires limit high-speed tire expansion for a larger, flatter contact patch and game-changing precision and control. Tire uniformity is critical for stability, especially at the top of its 70+mph speed range.
Engineered for 6s Power
From its inception, Traxxas engineered Maxx Slash to incorporate all the hallmarks of the legendary Slash, *but infused with massive 6s power*. Belted Maxx SC tires amplify the short course experience with incredible traction and 70+mph stability. 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 centre 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-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.
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 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
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.
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.
MAXX-Duty Drivetrain
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.
Fully Waterproof
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.
Easy Battery Access
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.
Optional Accessory Lighting
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.
