No prep drag racing is about to change forever. The Drag Slash is here and Traxxas is leading
the way with speed, power, and innovation that sets the benchmark for straight line performance
and fun. The Drag Slash combines innovative new technology and proven features to give drivers
of every skill level an RC experience like nothing else. It arrives ready to race with
Velineon brushless power for blistering straight line speed and hits the strip with '67 Chevy C10
replica styling. The classic big window, short bed C10's bevel nose, slim fender flares, and low belt
line are faithfully recreated with perfect stance and a muscular profile. The tubbed bed stretches
over ultra-wide Mickey Thompson ET drag slicks on replica weld wheels. The rear wing and grill are
injection-molded for outstanding detail and the headlights are ready for accessory LED lighting.
Beneath the detailed body, the Drag Slash is built to perform and engineered to win. The Pro Series
Magnum 272R transmission features an all-new reinforced case and rigid aluminum motor plate
designed for high output power. The internal gears are high strength steel, including a new heavy duty
press-fit input shaft and top gear. The new bevel gear differential is fully sealed and filled
with thick silicone fluid optimized to equalize power delivery to both rear tires for maximum
control. The Revo spec slipper clutch is precisely adjustable and the extreme duty 4x4 spec drive
shafts instantly transmit torque to the tires. Drag Slash's realistic adjustable wheelie bar
mounts solidly to the gearbox. Set the bar low for perfect weight transfer when the light goes green.
Raise it high and show off with a wheel stand or choose any setting in between. Five bar positions
and two wheel diameter options allow 10 different heights to be selected.
The proven Slash low-CG chassis holds the battery speed control and high torque servo on the
chassis floor to hug the track with low center of gravity, while allowing sufficient ground clearance
for smooth running on less than perfect pavement. Drag Slash's Ultra Shock suspension is custom
spec'd with high-viscosity fluid, stiff springs, and travel limiters for rock solid launches and
straight-line stability. The new rear shock tower gives Drag Slash a perfect stance and refined
roll center geometry. Heavy duty steel turnbuckles set camber and front toe-in to help you hone your
winning setup. The replica Mickey Thompson ET drag slicks are engineered specifically for drag racing.
The dual-diameter design delivers the signature tall sidewall look of a competition slick while
providing the secure handling of a low profile tire. The rubber compound is new for the Drag Slash.
Formulated with feedback from countless hours of testing to balance grip with run after run
durability, the ultra-wide slicks are matched to wider rims and molded foam inserts to maximize
traction and control. Velineon brushless power is standard and paired with optimized
gearing to take advantage of the maximum torque output from the Velineon 3500 motor.
And of course the electronics are waterproof. These features alone put the Drag Slash on top as the
best equipped machine at the strip. But the biggest innovation is the Drag Slash driving experience.
The TQi transmitter is equipped with an electronic trans brake for a new level of
control, realism, and fun in drag racing. In full size drag racing, a trans brake allows
the driver to hold engine revs with the transmission mechanically locked;
then release the brake to instantly unleash a massive blast of power.
To set the drag slash's trans brake, hold the trans brake switch and move the throttle
trigger to your preferred launch position. When the light goes green, release the trans brake
switch and the VXL-3s speed control goes directly to your preset throttle position.
The trans brake makes it easy to launch with the perfect amount of power.
Even when high traction allows you to launch with a full trigger pull,
the trans brake can shave your reaction times, and get you off the line and out in front.
Traxxas Stability Management or TSM invisibly corrects steering inputs to counteract fish tailing,
and help you make the straightest, fastest pass. With TSM, drivers of any skill level can enjoy
full Velineon brushless power and maximum drag racing fun and excitement. Dial in as much or
as little TSM assistance as you like or turn it off completely, right from the transmitter.
If race rules don't permit electronic steering assistance, TSM's drag race mode can be activated
at the receiver. When drag race mode is activated, the receiver's LED blinks to show TSM is off while
accelerating and cannot be re-enabled via the transmitter. Drag Slash makes it easy for race
directors to get you through tech and onto the track. No matter what TSM setting you choose, tsm
remains active under braking so you finish every run like a pro with a stable stop--not a spin out.
Drag Slash is a new way to enjoy no prep drag racing. Traxxas makes it easy for anyone to
participate and have a fun, exciting, can't-wait-to-do-it-again experience, no matter the track
conditions or driver's skill. Whether you're just lining up against your buddies in a cul-de-sac
or getting serious at a local club event, the Drag Slash is engineered to win.
It's quickest on the street, from the fastest name in radio control.
