Traxxas Slash 4WD VX3 Brushless RTR TRX68454-4

The Velineon 3s power system transforms 3s LiPo power into brutal acceleration and 50+ mph speed straight out of the box, with no gearing changes required. The fan-cooled VX3 speed control is feature-packed yet simple to use, with EZ-Set one-button programming. The V3200 motor is optimised for speed, power, and efficiency.

Composite GTR shocks complement Slash 4X4's long-travel suspension, holding over 70% more oil than standard Ultra Shocks for consistent damping. X-ring seals keep oil in and dirt out for smooth compression and rebound. Spring preload and ride height are adjusted by turning the threaded collar, and captured spring retainers are secured with a screw so they cannot pop off.

With a top speed of over 50 mph, Slash 4X4's new aerodynamic body cuts through the air and increases downforce to deliver arrow-straight high-speed stability. Heavy-duty clipless latches grip the body tightly for rough-and-tumble action but release in just seconds when it is time to swap batteries.

The low-CG chassis positions the battery and electronics as low as possible, with a low centre of gravity that dramatically increases corner speed and stability. Integrated ribs form a triangulated structure for maximum rigidity, while the long-wheelbase chassis is ultra-smooth underneath to reduce drag and prevent snags.

Four tough latches grip Slash 4X4's body tightly for intense action but release in just seconds for quick battery changes. Bodies come pre-painted with applied decals, so the Slash 4X4 is ready to race as soon as you are.

Durable one-piece camber links maintain proper suspension geometry without requiring adjustments, making them well suited to bashing. Captured rod ends provide additional durability and are designed so they will not pop off during use.

Designed for 3-cell LiPo power, the V3200 motor is optimised for extreme power and efficiency with a large 5 mm output shaft. Ultra-high temperature sintered Neodymium magnets provide massive torque and linear power, while the low-maintenance design incorporates high-speed ball bearings and both internal and external cooling fans.

Tough integrated chassis nerf bars are built into the Slash 4X4's chassis to offer side body support. They are positioned to absorb the shocks that occur during door-to-door racing action and form part of the chassis structure itself.

The fully waterproof VX3 ESC transforms 11.1 volts of LiPo power into 50+ mph performance, with Traxxas EZ-Set one-button programming keeping setup straightforward. A large aluminium heat sink with cooling fan is fitted to keep temperatures in check. Race-inspired High-Resolution Linear Braking and real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link are also included.

The Slash 4X4's waterproof receiver box keeps the receiver safe and dry while still allowing easy access for maintenance. Antenna and servo wires are routed through a patented water-tight seal, supporting the truck's all-weather capability.

The TQi Sport receiver is compatible with all TQi and TQi Sport transmitters. A built-in failsafe returns the throttle to neutral and holds the steering in its last known position in the event of signal loss. Full Inclinometer and telemetry functionality is accessible through a TQi radio via the Traxxas Link app.

The Slash 4X4 Brushless uses a rugged clipless battery strap to hold batteries firmly in place. Swing the heavy-duty strap up and out of the way to swap batteries, then snap the tab into the latch to secure the pack. The battery remains held in position until you choose to release it.

The Slash 4X4 is equipped with a servo featuring an all-metal gear train, bringing the durability of metal gearing to the steering system. Quick, precise control is backed by fully waterproof construction, offering both the security and convenience the source attributes to that design.

Replica Kumho tyres offer excellent grip in the dirt and just the right amount of slide on tarmac. The tyres and race-tuned foam inserts come pre-glued on tough 2.2in Split-Spoke SCT wheels with simulated beadlock rings.

The Slash 4X4's dual-bellcrank steering design pivots smoothly even in the harshest conditions. An integrated cam-operated servo saver protects the steering servo from crash impacts, and the source states this is achieved without sacrificing steering precision.

Moulded from Traxxas' toughest composite material, the Slash 4X4's heavy-duty suspension arms are designed to provide just the right amount of flex to resist breaking, even in cold weather. Whether at skate parks or on 10-foot ramps, these arms are built to stand up to even the most punishing driving conditions.

Slash's hex-drive hardware provides a more positive and secure connection than other fasteners. The black-oxide coating on each piece delivers a rust-resistant finish with a high-tech look and feel.

The Slash 4X4's front and rear bumpers mount solidly to reinforced bulkheads to absorb impacts. The tube-style design offers rugged protection with the look of a true short course race truck. The front bumper also features bosses for mounting accessory LED lights.

The Slash 4X4 comes with the Extreme Heavy-Duty Upgrade Kit already installed. Axle carriers, caster blocks, and steering blocks have all been beefed up with additional material and stronger construction, building strength and durability throughout the suspension.

The Slash 4X4's driveline is built to handle extreme brushless power. The steel pinion and spur gears feature large 32-pitch teeth, designed for reliable engagement no matter how much power is applied.

The Torque-Biasing Centre Drive absorbs driveline shocks and distributes equal power to all four wheels. Tuning for different traction surfaces is simple: replace the oil inside the sealed housing to suit the terrain you are driving on.

The one-piece centre driveshaft is ultra-rigid for maximum power transfer between the differentials, yet retains enough flexibility to resist impact damage. A central bearing support ensures the shaft runs straight and true, even at high RPM.

The Maxx-duty driveshafts come with beefed-up U-joints built to handle the Slash 4X4's brushless power. Large 6 mm axles key directly into the included steel wheel hexes, with the entire assembly designed for strength and durability.

Precision rubber-sealed ball bearings are used throughout the Slash 4X4 Brushless, providing low-friction performance and maximum protection in dusty environments. The bearings are fitted across the entire truck and are virtually maintenance free.

The sealed front and rear differentials use steel gears for durability. Silicone gaskets and x-ring seals allow you to tune the amount of differential locking action by varying the viscosity of the oil inside the housing.

Traxxas engineers have enhanced the Slash 4X4's suspension to maximise performance across all surfaces. Long-travel suspension and GTR shocks improve compliance on rough terrain, while the low-CG chassis delivers razor-sharp cornering on the track. The result is an ultra-plush ride that puts the truck's brushless power to the ground.

Extreme heavy-duty upgrades replace key driveline and suspension components with beefed-up parts engineered for ultimate strength. Designed to work together as a cohesive package, the Slash 4X4's nearly indestructible upgrades set a new standard for durability at skate parks, racetracks, and backyards.

The Slash 4X4's clipless body offers secure mounting with quick and easy removal. There are no posts or clips: simply drop the body onto the chassis and snap it into place for a secure hold. To access the chassis for a battery change, depress the tabs under the wheel wells and lift up in just seconds.

The Slash 4X4's shaft-driven four-wheel-drive system uses a rigid centre driveshaft with a centre bearing for extra support. The Torque-Biasing Centre Drive absorbs driveline shocks and distributes power equally between front and rear. Maxx-duty driveshafts with 6 mm axles carry that power to the wheels for ultimate strength and durability.

The TQi Sport transmitter packs TQi range and performance into a compact, ergonomic design. The grip includes a removable adapter to accommodate smaller hands, alongside simple one-button programming. A class-leading high-output 2.4 GHz signal delivers the outstanding range and glitch-free performance the Slash 4X4's blistering speed demands.

Traxxas Stability Management works in the background to harness the Slash 4X4's brushless power. It keeps the truck arrow-straight during acceleration and braking without dulling throttle response or pulling power, even on low-traction surfaces. TSM can be switched on or off directly from the TQi Sport transmitter.

The modular chassis design makes servicing straightforward. The entire front section can be removed with just 5 screws, whilst the rear assembly requires only 4. Using a power screwdriver, the process takes less than a minute, providing full access to the chassis for service and adjustment.
