Discover the Traxxas Maxx Slash

Meet the Maxx Slash

The Maxx Slash delivers class-leading power, superb quality and detail, with durability and refined engineering you’d expect from Traxxas.

Traxxas took the RC car racing world by storm 15 years ago with the release of the Maxx Slash. It’s gone on to become one of the best-selling RC trucks of all time and the latest models are now even more powerful, durable and exciting to race!

The Maxx Slash Design

The Traxxas Mass Slash has been designed and evolved specifically for short-course RC car racing and it dominates this field. High speed and rock-solid stability are key to the Slash’s success.

Short course tracks are typically off-road and feature a mix of dirt, gravel, jumps, and obstacles. Layouts are scaled-down versions of real-life off-road racing tracks and the racing experience is second to none. Races are intense thrill rides, with trucks jostling for position, taking jumps and navigating tight corners.

Competitors are against the clock to complete as many laps as possible within the time limit. If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush without putting your life at risk short course RC car racing is as good as it gets!

When it comes to choosing the best RC car for short-course racing there are several factors to consider. The power source brushed vs. brushless, 2WD vs. 4WD, and overall durability affect a car’s performance and suitability for this form of RC car racing.

The Traxxas Mass Slash remains one of the most popular in this field. It also comes in a range of stunning colours and designs with the eye-catching ‘Rock & Roll’ one of our favourites at Voltage Models!

Why Choose the Maxx Slash?

So what makes the Traxxas Maxx Slash so popular and why is it dominant in RC car racing?

Speed and performance come into play and this model is capable of exceeding 70+ mph with specific gearing and battery setup! Control is also key for those tight corners and challenging courses and this is where Traxxas Stability Management gives you the edge. This enhances control on slippery surfaces whilst maintaining the natural driving feel.

The advanced radio system delivers precise and responsive control with customisable settings, integrated telemetry and memory for multiple models.

Heavy-duty front and rear bumpers provide maximum protection for critical components from impacts. The latest versions of the Slash retain the unmistakable short-course body style of its lineage but enhance it with a healthy dose of high-horsepower adrenaline.

Wide fenders and sculpted lines give the Maxx Slash an unmistakable aggressive look complimented by rugged body reinforcements. Finally, durable construction ensures worry-free racing. Bumps, rollovers and collisions are inevitable and what makes RC car racing such fun, so you need models that are built to last!
