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. Traxxas MAXXed the Power, Size, Durability, and Excitement
 
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.
 
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 X0-1 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 hihg-speed stability.
 
Traxxas' 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 machine into the motor housing for cooler running and peak power.
 
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..
