Traxxas Slash 2WD Kit: Fun to Build, Exciting to Run!
Build your Slash from the ground up with all the required parts and electronics included in the box. You'll get the convenience of a TQ™ 2.4 GHz radio system, powerful Titan® electric motor, and waterproof XL-5™ electronic speed control. All the parts are organized neatly in labeled bags with a fully illustrated color manual to make building rewarding and fun. The Slash assembly kit is perfect for drivers of almost any age or skill level. Build one yourself and experience RC fun the Traxxas way—fast, fun, and easy to use!
Extreme HD Suspension Components
The Slash unassembled kit comes outfitted with factory-installed Extreme Heavy-Duty suspension components for ultimate strength and durability. The rear axle carriers, C-hubs, and steering blocks are beefed up with more material and stronger construction.
Easy-to-Follow Assembly Instructions
The full-color instruction book is easy to follow and fun to use. Each section corresponds to a labeled bag with step-by-step instructions. True-to-scale illustrations and ruler charts make it easy to differentiate between different parts. Helpful assembly tips and clear illustrations take the frustration out of the assembly process.
Clipless Body Mounting
Slash’s tough clipless body holds firm no matter how rough the action gets. Heavy-duty latches grip the body tightly, but release in just seconds to access the chassis. Slash’s hidden latching system replaces time-consuming and inconvenient body clips with large reinforced panels to resist pull-through damage.
