Slash VXL’s fully adjustable track-ready suspension now features Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade parts to ensure Slash stays the undisputed leader in RC durability, performance, and fun.

Clipless Body mounting
Slash VXL’s clipless body holds firm no matter how rough the racing gets. Heavy-duty latches grip the body tightly, but release in just seconds for fast battery swaps on the pit bench. This convenient hidden latching system replaces traditional body clips with large, reinforced panels to maintain body integrity and resist pull-through damage.

Extreme HD suspension
Factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty axle carriers, caster blocks, and steering blocks, are beefed-up with extra material to give Slash VXL ultimate strength and durability. With the addition of HD suspension arms made from Traxxas’ toughest composite material, this is the strongest suspension ever offered in a 2WD Slash.

Magnum 272R transmission
The Magnum 272R transmission is built for the hard-hitting torque of Velineon brushless power. The 272R features a blue anodized aluminum motor plate, all-metal gears, and a sealed silicone-filled 4-gear differential. Slash VXL’s extreme HD driveshafts are also strengthened with large-diameter half shafts for increased power handling.

Long wheelbase chassis
Slash VXL's long 13.2" wheelbase chassis provides superior stability on high-speed straights with over 3.5 inches of ground clearance to prevent bottoming out. The chassis includes drain holes and a battery tray channel for routing servo wires to the receiver

Sealed Bevel-Gear Differential
The heavy-duty steel-gear differential is sealed with X-rings and gaskets and silicone-filled to resist unloading under power. Differential locking action is easy to tune with thicker or thinner silicone oil to suit track conditions.

Short course wheels & tires
Slash VXL's BFGoodrich Mud terrain have excellent grip in the dirt and just the right amount of slide on pavement. Their authentic scale appearance and realistic performance add to the racing experience. The tires come mounted and pre-glued to 2.2" split spoke dual profile SCT wheels.
