6s Power
Maxx Slash punches harder and faster with brutal 6s power and 70+mph speed. Low center of gravity and new belted tires keep it all in control.
Maxx-Sized Slash
Being big is good. Being the perfect size for maximum performance is best. Maxx Slash is the perfect size to power aggressively over the roughest terrain imaginable, yet it is still feels light, responsive, and agile.
Maxx Strength
The Maxx platform has already proven it’s synonymous with durability. The engineering on Maxx Slash continues to innovate, adding even more strength for critical 6s power handling and faster, harder-hitting action.
Belted Tires
Maxx SC belted tires limit high-speed tire expansion for a larger, flatter contact patch and game-changing precision and control. Tire uniformity is critical for stability, especially at the top of its 70+mph speed range.

The Traxxas Experience
The all-new Maxx Slash delivers class-leading power, ultimate quality, and durability that is engineered to be second to none.
Details
Aggressive Short Course Body
Maxx Slash retains the unmistakable short course body style of its Slash lineage but injects it with a healthy dose of high-horsepower adrenaline. Wide fenders and sculpted lines give Maxx Slash a more aggressive look while rugged body reinforcements keep it looking fresh after a rough day at the track.
Short Course Wheels
Maxx Slash rides on dual-diameter short course wheels with a large glue surface for secure bead mounting. The wheels are fully sealed to keep out dirt and water that can upset tire balance and degrade the foam inserts. An internal 17mm splined hub provides maximum power transfer with a flanged outer locknut for a more realistic appearance.
Adjustable Wheelie Bar
With the hard-hitting punch of 6s power on hand, an adjustable wheelie bar is required. Maxx Slash’s adjustable wheelie bar maximizes traction and control during full throttle acceleration. Set it low to prevent lift during full throttle acceleration on hard surfaces, or set it higher to serve as a transparent backstop during high-speed, high-flying off-road action.
Heavy Duty Bumpers
Heavy-duty front and rear Slash-style bumpers help protect critical components from impacts. The bumpers, combined with a short course body that covers the tires, allow for fender-to-fender contact for competitive and authentic racing action.
Belted Maxx SC Tires
Large-diameter Maxx SC tires feature wide tread blocks for sure-footed traction on just about any surface. The innovative belted design combines with a long-wearing rubber compound for total control across a variety of terrain. Belted Maxx SC tires work just as well on pavement and provide realistic performance as you powerslide Maxx Slash around corners.
Shock Tower Design
Maxx Slash’s integrated shock towers are part of the chassis and produce a rigid, triangulated structure to mount and protect the shock caps. Heavy-duty body mounts secure directly to the reinforced shock towers for maximum strength and impact resistance.
Fixed Mesh Motor Cradle
The motor and cradle join together to form a fixed gear mesh. A heavily reinforced mounting plate in the chassis keeps the motor and spur gear in perfect alignment. This innovative solution eliminates flex and greatly extends gear life.
Low-CG Chassis
The new chassis lowers the center of gravity and extends the wheelbase for responsive handling. A fighter jet aesthetic wraps around an engineered truss design that builds in strength and rigidity where it’s needed most. Proven-tough Maxx bulkheads are tightly integrated front and rear.
Battery Compartment
Maxx Slash utilizes Sledge’s battery compartment and retention design to provide versatility and superior protection for your battery investment. The precise snap-lock hold down makes it easy to install and secure Traxxas iD batteries, including a single large capacity 4s 6700, two 2s 7600, or two 3s 5000 battery packs for 6s running.
Waterproof Electronics
Maxx Slash is not limited by mud, snow, or water and neither is your fun. A sealed box protects the TQi receiver from water for all-weather driving. An easy-access port on top allows instant access to the receiver while retaining the box’s waterproof integrity.
Maxx® Steering Servo
The powerful steering servo mounts solidly to the Maxx Slash chassis for enhanced support and impact resistance. With its proven durability in MAXX monster trucks, the digital, ball bearing design delivers 285 oz-in of torque for responsive and precise steering control.
Fixed Camber and Toe Links
Fixed, non-adjustable camber and toe links provide ultimate durability by ensuring that the action doesn’t get sidelined by broken turnbuckle. Double shear connections wherever the links attach eliminate annoying pop offs and tear outs.
Long-Travel Suspension
Maxx Slash flies across washboard and soaks up bumps like a Baja truck thanks to its long-travel suspension. Adjustable suspension droop allows you to customize Maxx Slash to dominate any surface. Use full travel for maximum capability over rough off-road terrain or tighten the suspension travel for responsive handling and grip on the track.
Heavy Duty Suspension Arms
Maxx Slash’s oversized double wishbone suspension arms maintain proper suspension geometry throughout the entire range of travel. Double-shear connections provide incredible strength and impact resistance. Tough composites further resist impact damage, even in cold weather.
GT-Maxx Aluminum Shocks
GT-Maxx aluminum shocks feature an extra-large bore and more oil capacity for consistent ultra-plush damping. Extra-large diameter shock shafts move through double X-ring seals for smooth, stiction-free performance. The brilliantly anodized machined aluminum bodies are color matched to the body graphics.
Full Contact Sealed Bearings
Maxx Slash utilizes full contact sealed bearings throughout the driveline to keep out the grime and grit. Less downtime for cleaning and maintaining bearings equals more run time and more fun.
Torque-Biasing Center Drive
Maxx Slash’s Torque-Biasing Center Drive is tuned for maximum punch off the line with heavyweight oil for even front/rear power distribution. A heavy-duty aluminum housing helps dissipate heat for consistent performance as Maxx Slash delivers unmatched throttle punch and unbelievably quick acceleration!
Aluminum Splined Driveshaft
A thick-wall, heavy-duty, splined aluminum center driveshaft carries the power to the front and rear differentials. This heavy-duty driveshaft yields precise engagement, incredible strength, and smooth running.
Steel-Core Hybrid Driveshafts
Maxx Slash is overbuilt to take the most brutal 6s punishment in stride. New hybrid driveshafts feature steel cores wrapped in durable nylon composite materials where strength is critical. Large-diameter splined half shafts provide smooth-running telescopic action and nearly endless suspension travel.
Steel Gear Differentials
Maxx Slash’s 4-gear differentials are sealed and filled with heavyweight oil, which provides a limited-slip effect for maximum traction on loose surfaces. Oversize 1.25 module steel gears are fully rated to withstand 6s power and speed.
