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!

6s POWER

Maxx Slash punches harder and faster with brutal 6s power and 70+mph speed. Low center 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.

THE TRAXXAS EXPERIENCE

The all-new Maxx Slash delivers class-leading power, ultimate quality, and durability that is engineered to be second to none.

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 ToughTM 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.

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 center 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-energizing 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 TQiTM 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)R 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.

Aggressive Short Course Body

Maxx Slash retains the unmistakable short course body style of its Slash lineage but injects it with a healthy dose of high-horsepower adrenaline. Wide fenders and sculpted lines give Maxx Slash a more aggressive look while rugged body reinforcements keep it looking fresh after a rough day at the track.

Short Course Wheels

Maxx Slash rides on dual-diameter short course wheels with a large glue surface for secure bead mounting. The wheels are fully sealed to keep out dirt and water that can upset tire balance and degrade the foam inserts. An internal 17mm splined hub provides maximum power transfer with a flanged outer locknut for a more realistic appearance.

Adjustable Wheelie Bar

With the hard-hitting punch of 6s power on hand, an adjustable wheelie bar is required. Maxx Slash's adjustable wheelie bar maximizes traction and control during full throttle acceleration. Set it low to prevent lift during full throttle acceleration on hard surfaces, or set it higher to serve as a transparent backstop during high-speed, high-flying off-road action.

Heavy Duty Bumpers

Heavy-duty front and rear Slash-style bumpers help protect critical components from impacts. The bumpers, combined with a short course body that covers the tires, allow for fender-to-fender contact for competitive and authentic racing action.

Belted Maxx SC Tires

Large-diameter Maxx SC tires feature wide tread blocks for sure-footed traction on just about any surface. The innovative belted design combines with a long-wearing rubber compound for total control across a variety of terrain. Belted Maxx SC tires work just as well on pavement and provide realistic performance as you powerslide Maxx Slash around corners.

Shock Tower Design

Maxx Slash's integrated shock towers are part of the chassis and produce a rigid, triangulated structure to mount and protect the shock caps. Heavy-duty body mounts secure directly to the reinforced shock towers for maximum strength and impact resistance.

Fixed Mesh Motor Cradle

The motor and cradle join together to form a fixed gear mesh. A heavily reinforced mounting plate in the chassis keeps the motor and spur gear in perfect alignment. This innovative solution eliminates flex and greatly extends gear life.

Low-CG Chassis

The new chassis lowers the center of gravity and extends the wheelbase for responsive handling. A fighter jet aesthetic wraps around an engineered truss design that builds in strength and rigidity where it's needed most. Proven-tough Maxx bulkheads are tightly integrated front and rear.

Battery Compartment

Maxx Slash utilizes Sledge's battery compartment and retention design to provide versatility and superior protection for your battery investment. The precise snap-lock hold down makes it easy to install and secure Traxxas iD batteries, including a single large capacity 4s 6700, two 2s 7600, or two 3s 5000 battery packs for 6s running.

Waterproof Electronics

Maxx Slash is not limited by mud, snow, or water and neither is your fun. A sealed box protects the TQi receiver from water for all-weather driving. An easy-access port on top allows instant access to the receiver while retaining the box's waterproof integrity.

Maxx® Steering Servo

The powerful steering servo mounts solidly to the Maxx Slash chassis for enhanced support and impact resistance. With its proven durability in MAXX monster trucks, the digital, ball bearing design delivers 285 oz-in of torque for responsive and precise steering control.

Fixed Camber and Toe Links

Fixed, non-adjustable camber and toe links provide ultimate durability by ensuring that the action doesn't get sidelined by broken turnbuckle. Double shear connections wherever the links attach eliminate annoying pop offs and tear outs.

Long-Travel Suspension

Maxx Slash flies across washboard and soaks up bumps like a Baja truck thanks to its long-travel suspension. Adjustable suspension droop allows you to customize Maxx Slash to dominate any surface. Use full travel for maximum capability over rough off-road terrain or tighten the suspension travel for responsive handling and grip on the track.

Heavy Duty Suspension Arms

Maxx Slash's oversized double wishbone suspension arms maintain proper suspension geometry throughout the entire range of travel. Double-shear connections provide incredible strength and impact resistance. Tough composites further resist impact damage, even in cold weather.

GT-Maxx Aluminum Shocks

GT-Maxx aluminum shocks feature an extra-large bore and more oil capacity for consistent ultra-plush damping. Extra- large diameter shock shafts move through double X-ring seals for smooth, stiction-free performance. The brilliantly anodized machined aluminum bodies are color matched to the body graphics.

Full Contact Sealed Bearings

Maxx Slash utilizes full contact sealed bearings throughout the driveline to keep out the grime and grit. Less downtime for cleaning and maintaining bearings equals more run time and more fun.

Torque-Biasing Center Drive

Maxx Slash's Torque-Biasing Center Drive is tuned for maximum punch off the line with heavyweight oil for even front/rear power distribution. A heavy-duty aluminum housing helps dissipate heat for consistent performance as Maxx Slash delivers unmatched throttle punch and unbelievably quick acceleration!

Aluminum Splined Driveshaft

A thick-wall, heavy-duty, splined aluminum center driveshaft carries the power to the front and rear differentials. This heavy-duty driveshaft yields precise engagement, incredible strength, and smooth running.

Steel-Core Hybrid Driveshafts

Maxx Slash is overbuilt to take the most brutal 6s punishment in stride. New hybrid driveshafts feature steel cores wrapped in durable nylon composite materials where strength is critical. Large-diameter splined half shafts provide smooth-running telescopic action and nearly endless suspension travel.

Steel Gear Differentials

Maxx Slash's 4-gear differentials are sealed and filled with heavyweight oil, which provides a limited-slip effect for maximum traction on loose surfaces. Oversize 1.25 module steel gears are fully rated to withstand 6s power and speed.
