Slash 4X4 VIDEOS:
http://www.traxxas.com/products/elec...#/portfolio-08
  • Single Velineon 3500 system with VXL-3s ESC
  • Motor is longitudinally-mounted with a center driveshaft
  • Chassis layout is step-style, like the 2WD with a raised center, large wide high tub
  • 2.4Ghz 2ch transmitter & 4ch receiver included
  • Revo differentials
  • Plastic driveshafts
  • Metal turnbuckles
  • Ships with a 7cell pack for 40mph speeds
  • Rated for 60mph with a 3S lipo
  • Waterproof electronics
  • Accepts all standard Slash bodies
  • Designed & tested to accept the Castle Mamba Monster motor system without drivetrain upgrades
  • New spring rates




Maximum Traction

  • Slash 4x4 delivers handling and conrol just like a full-size Pro 4X4 Short Course race truck The full-time 4WD system harnesses the power of the Velineon system and puts it to the ground at all four corners Drive harder, brake later, corner deeper. Hammer the throttle and power out of the turns with four-wheel-drive grip. Simply put, the Slash 4X4 is made for aggressive driving.
Superior Efficiency, Integrated Design

  • Slash 4X4 uses just three gear meshes to drive all four wheels, eliminating the need for a multi-gear transmission. The highly efficient drivetrains pins effortlessly on rubber-sealed ball bearings, and is integrated seamlessly into Slash 4X4's unique chassis for optimum performance and easy maintenance. Slash 4X4 raises 4WD to a new level of spimplicity, performance, and convenience.
Extruded Aluminum Driveshaft

  • Slash 4X4's center driveshaft is formed from extruded aluminum. There are no dogbones to wear, no drive cups to obble. The extrusion process allows the shaft to be hollow and lightweight with internal splines that fit directly and securely onto the input shafts of the front and rear drive assemblies. The shaft runs perfectly straight and true and offers superior durability. Traxxas engineers highlighted this important innovation with vivid blue anodizing and a laser-etched Traxxas logo
Single-screw motor access

  • Inspired by the innovative E-Revo, Slash 4X4 features a unique motor mount that holds the Velineon 3500 motor securely yet releases instantly with just one screw. Gear-mesh adjustments are fast and easy and the motor can be removed in just seconds.
Revo-spec Differentials

  • Race-proven in the 7-time National Champion Revo, Slash 4X4's differentials represent the state of the art in power handling and efficiency. Precision silicone gaskets and X-ring seals allow the diffs to be tuned for specific running conditions by varying the viscosity of the fluid inside them.
Easy Access

  • Diff access for tuning is quick & easy. Just remove the front or rear cover and the entire diff slides right out. The Slash 4x4 lets you focus on having fun at the track instead of being chained to the workbench scrambling through complex assemblies.
New heavy-duty driveshafts

  • Slash 4x4's telescoping, u-joint driveshafts may look familiar but they have evolved for increased strength & articulation. Traxxas U-joint shafts allow for maximum suspension movement resulting in longer travel and tighter turning. Extra material & design tweaks greatly increase torque handling. The shafts can even be used to upgrade Slash and other Traxxas models!
Torque-Control (TM) Slipper Clutch

  • Another Traxxas exclusive, Slash 4X4's patented slipper clutch design uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent traction control. The slipper is easily adjusted without disassembly or removal, and the unique 3-pad design is proven rugged in Traxxas' most powerful electric and nitro vehicles. It's the perfect complement to Velineon brushless power and 4WD, offering the ultimate in traction control
Built for Brushless
  • Extreme BL horsepower is never an afterthought at Traxxas. The Slash 4X4 driveline is built to handle power for today and accommodate future power upgrades down the road. The spur gear features rugged 0.8 module / 32-pitch teeth for total reliability no matter how much power you pour on.
How tough is it?
  • Slash 4X4's chassis is designed to allow the massive Mamba Monster power system -- which normally motivates trucks twice the weight of the Slash 4X4 -- to simply drop right in with virtually no modification. Overkill? Perhaps, but we couldn't resist going 80+ mph. We don't think yuo will resist either, so the drivetrain is built to handle the horsepower and speed.







Tuning Precision
  • Advanced CAD allowed engineers to precisely pinpoint a range of suspension tuning adjustments to tune the performance for different track conditions. Caster, camber, toe, and roll center are all easily adjustable.
All-New C-Hub Design

  • The fully-optimized front axle carrier is a result of computer modelling that allowed engineers to design for maximum articulation without binding or interference Tight steering response is always there, even at the extreme ranges of the suspension travel. Double-shear tie rods and camber links simply can't pop off, so you always stay in control. Robust construction wards off crash damage, and oversized 10x15mm inboard bearings and 5x11mm outboard bearings are incredibly durable and smooth.
All-New Steering

  • No part of the Slash 4X4 was overlooked in the quest for durability, precision, and performance The new dual-bellcrank design pivots on rubber-sealed ball bearings for smooth action in the harshest conditions, and an integrated cam-type servo saver protects the gears from crash impacts without sacrificing steering precision.


Officially-licensed BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tires


  • The Slash 4X4 is the first to wear fully-licensed Mud-Terrain T/A tires, proven performers in TORC Series competition. For the Slash 4X4, the distinctive design has been realistically captured in high-grip rubber, complete with white sidewall lettering.
  • Offering equal parts style and strength, the Slash 4X4's wheels feature a new SCT Split Spoke design with a mirror-chrome center and color-molded (imitation) "beadlock" style detail for a realistic look. Fully compatible with factory Traxxas and aftermarket tires, the new wheels also feature 12mm hexes and the same offset as Slash 2WD rear wheels.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

  • Center differential - sealed, tunable
  • Aluminum C-hubs
