Titan 12-turn motor
Titan® 12-Turn 550 Modified Motor
1/16 Slash 4X4 includes a powerful Titan 12T 550 motor with internal cooling fan. Titan's oversized armature features 12 turns of pure copper wire for big torque and increased power-handling capabilities. The integrated cooling fan lowers running temperatures for more fun behind the wheel. The Titan 12T requires very little maintenance and provides consistent torque and high speeds without fading. Beyond the specs, the Titan 12T is made for rock-crushing torque, hardcore wheelie launches, and any other 4-wheel fun that demands real horsepower.

 

NiMH iD Power Cell Battery (2925X) (Series 1, 6-Cell Flat, 2/3A, 1200mAh)Traxxas Power Cell Series 1 NiMH Battery Pack
The 1/16 Slash is fully assembled and Ready-To-Race® with an included Power Cell NiMH battery and charger. Designed specifically for the high-power needs of the Velineon brushless system, this potent pack features heavy-duty construction, 16-gauge wires and Traxxas' exclusive patented High-Current Connector for efficient power transfer, run after run.

 

 

 

Traxxas 2-amp NiMH Peak Detection DC Fast Charger (2974)2-amp DC Peak Detecting Charger
Fast 2-amp charging is available virtually anywhere thanks to the included 20+ watt USB-C battery charger with iD® technology. The Traxxas iD system is the easiest and safest way to charge your Traxxas batteries. The charger automatically recognizes the iD battery and optimizes the charge settings as soon as you plug it in. There’s no guesswork involved, just fast, reliable charging every time.

 

1/16 Slash 4X4 SuspensionRevo-Spec® Suspension
The unique Revo-spec suspension geometry multiplies the suspension travel to lengths normally found on larger models. It provides true progressive rate performance that's light over the small bumps and instantly tightens when compressed to resist bottoming out over large jumps.

 

Oil-Filled GTR ShockOil-Filled GTR Shocks
1/16 Slash 4X4 's super-smooth oil-filled shocks damp the suspension and maintain control no matter how rugged the terrain. They are fully tuneable and include pressure bladders for air/oil separation and threaded spring pre-load collars for quick ride height adjustments.

 

all-terrain tires and wheelsAll-Terrain Tires & Wheels
Each corner of the 1/16 Slash 4X4 comes wrapped in all-terrain tires, pre-glued and mounted onto beadlock-style wheels. The tires deliver the perfect balance of forward traction and side bite on asphalt, dirt, and any other surface you throw at them. 12 mm mounting hexes open the door to additional wheel and tire combos to tune traction for specific surfaces.

TQ 2.4 GHz TransmitterPrecision 2.4 GHz Control
Switch on the power and drive! That's all there is to it with the TQ™ 2.4 GHz radio system. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. Race multiple vehicles side by side without interference. The TQ's advanced programming provides long-range control with smooth, glitch-free performance. The TQ's ergonomic design is comfortable for all day driving with an internal antenna that is impervious to damage.

 

Micro Receiver3-channel Micro Receiver with Fail-Safe Security
The TQ 2.4GHz micro receiver uses an integrated LINK button for fast and easy binding. A two-color LED indicates power-on and bind status for fool-proof control and convenience. In the event of signal loss, the receiver will automatically return the throttle to neutral and hold the last commanded steering position. The fail safe programming is conveniently built-in and does not need to be set or activated.

 

Transmission cut-awayBall-Bearing Transmission With Torque Control Slipper Clutch
1/16 Slash 4X4's high-efficiency, heavy-duty transmission is built for brushless power when you're ready to Power Up. An adjustable slipper clutch lets you tailor power delivery to suit the terrain and your driving style, and turns every watt of Titan power into pure performance.

 



Mini Differential cut-awayFull-Time 4WD With Sealed, Silicone-Filled Differentials
Sealed, silicone-filled differentials resist "unloading" for superior performance and authentic handling as you drift the 1/16 Slash 4X4 through corners with precision and control. The viscosity of the differential fluid has been carefully tuned for exciting on-road performance, and the shaft-driven 4WD system delivers instant acceleration with proven efficiency and durability.

 

Pivot Ball SuspensionPivot Ball Suspension
The 1/16 Slash's pivot-ball suspension provides smooth suspension articulation and easy adjustment. Rubber-sealed ball bearings ward off dirt and increase precision while reducing friction and maximizing durability. For extra security, the heavy-duty axle carriers capture the universal-joint axles' crosspins with inner bearings.

 

Driveshaft for 1/16th ModelsUniversal-Joint Driveshafts
1/16 Slash features telescoping, universal-joint axles for optimum drivetrain efficiency and maximum power transfer. The true-curvilinear spline design operates freely, and the oversized U-joints set the standard for strength and high-power durability.

 

Waterproof Receiver BoxWaterproof Electronics
Mud. Water. Snow. 1/16 Slash 4X4's waterproof electronics and fully sealed receiver box let you make tracks in conditions that leave other trucks parked at home. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a special watertight seal. To protect the receiver from dust and water a custom shaped blue O-ring seals the receiver box.

 

Waterproof Digital Micro ServoDigital High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo
Small but powerful, the 1/16 Slash 4X4's 2080 servo cranks out 41.7 oz.-in. of tire-turning torque with digital circuitry for responsive control—even in water, mud and snow, thanks to its o-ring-sealed waterproof construction.

Dual Battery CompartmentsDual Battery Compartments
The 1/16 Slash 4X4 unleashes its full speed potential with the included Power Cell battery pack, but for extended run time and more "punch," the chassis' dual battery compartments let you add a second NiMH battery pack and parallel connector (both sold separately) to double the available battery capacity.

 

Adjustable Battery CompartmentQuick-Release Battery Doors
Traxxas uses an innovative solution for easy battery installation. Quick release doors snap open and closed in seconds for fast and easy battery loading. There are no clips to lose in the field and the potential for fast battery changes during pit stops opens the door for a whole new class of electric racing.

 

Battery Compartment Vents
Battery Cooling Vents

Artfully designed intakes and exits allow cooling air to circulate through the battery enclosures to lower the temperature of the batteries for maximum run-time and "punch."

 

Rubber-Sealed Ball BearingsRubber-Sealed Ball Bearings
Precision rubber-sealed bearings offer the ultimate in low-friction performance and maximum protection in dirty environments. They are used in all exposed locations and are virtually maintenance free.

 

Suspension TravelProgressive Rate Travel
The unique suspension geometry increases wheel travel to lengths normally found on larger models. Springs and shocks absorb small bumps with ease, but stiffen progressively to resist bottoming out over large jumps.

 

Hex Hardware
