This Slash 4×4 comes ready to run (RTR), and I mean ready to run right out of the box without anything extra to buy except for four AA batteries for the transmitter. In this review, we focus on the bread and butter 1/10-scale, brushed motor model, aptly named the Slash 4×4 1/10-Scale High-Performance Short Course Truck.Īs with countless other hobbyists, the Slash journey began for me as soon as I unboxed it. While most Slashes come in 1/10-scale, a smaller 1/16-scale 4×4 version is offered as well. The differences between the models range from brushed versus brushless motor setups, electronic upgrades such as Total Stability Management and even scale. It comes in many flavors including multiple 2WD versions, a stable of 4×4 versions like the one you see here, and there’s even one that runs on nitro fuel. The Traxxas Slash line of short course trucks has a well-earned reputation for driving fun, easy maintenance, endless modification possibilities and ultimate durability. What I learned after familiarizing myself with the truck is that it is primed for bashing, racing, modification and all around fun for RC newcomers and pros alike. For seasoned RC-ers, this may be a shock of a confession since the Slash is one of Traxxas’ mainstay kits and is arguably one of the most popular vehicles in all of surface-bound RC. It may be hard to believe, but my time spent with this edition of the Traxxas Slash 4×4 was my first time ever piloting an RC short course truck and likewise, first time with the Traxxas Slash platform.
