Also reviewed in our Werkstatt-CheckOur description
The Traxxas Slash 4×4 VXL is one of the most tested short-course trucks. Independent reviews – including Big Squid RC at 9.2/10 – consistently praise its durability, long-travel suspension and excellent parts supply. On a 2S LiPo it runs around 55–65 km/h, on 3S beyond 90 km/h – but then with a clear heat issue (a cooling fan is recommended) and faster tire wear. Tests name the front plastic drive gear as a known weak point. Battery and charger are not included.
