Traxxas Slash and Slash 4x4

The Traxxas Slash has been around for a while and most people have fallen in love with it. Out of the box they are not only a good racer around a short course track but they are good at bashing around the backyard as well. It comes out of the box with everything you need to have fun and enjoy yourself but in my opinion it was lacking some power.

Then Traxxas released the Traxxas Slash 4x4 VXL. Not only is it a 4x4 version of the slash its also waterproof and brushless. With the stock battery it provides around 25 minutes of fun at up to 40mph. When that gets boring you can drop in a 3s LiPo. With the 3s this thing gos ballistic every time you pull the throttle. Drop on the spare pinion and you will find yourself touching 60mph or faster.

So if your just wanting a fun toy for the backyard, a short course truck you can race with or a vehicle that can touch 60+ mph the slash is for you.
