Traxxas 70054-1 – 1/16 Slash 4WD Short Course RTR – Mike Jenkins

The Traxxas Slash 4X4 set the standard for short-course fun and versatility with speed, power, and track-ready handling. Now you can experience the fun of wheel-to-wheel Slash 4X4 racing in 1/16 scale with the high-torque Titan 550 power–the largest motor in the “mini” class! At 14 inches long, the 1/16 Slash 4X4 is about half the size of the 1/10-scale Slash 4X4, but don’t call it a “mini”—this is a whole new category of RC performance and fun that no mere mini-model can match. Beneath the tough Race Replica polycarbonate shell, you’ll find sophisticated suspension technology and chassis design with the quality and durability you expect from Traxxas.

Modified Muscle

Leave it to Traxxas to put the huge torque of the Titan 550 motor into the 1/16 Slash for incredible acceleration and monster performance! The Titan modified motor delivers exciting mod-motor power output with long-lasting performance. The Titan’s integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through vent tunnels molded into the motor plate to keep temperatures down. A cooler running motor equates to faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life. The XL-2.5 Electronic Speed Control comes standard with three drive profiles, low voltage detection, thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated connectors, and incredibly low resistance. The patented Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for unrestricted current flow with today’s high-power batteries.

Precision 2.4GHz Control Radio System

With the TQ™ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on and drive. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ’s ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage. To customize the controls, the transmitter’s factory servo directions can be easily reversed through the simple programming system.

What is a DC Charger?

A DC charger allows you to fast-charge your 5, 6, or 7 cell (6.0 – 8,4 volt) NiMH battery from a common 12v automotive power source.

If you do not have access to an automotive power source you’ll need to add the Traxxas 2976 – AC to DC Power Supply Adapter. Or you can add our Hub Hobby Generic AC to DC Adapter. These adapters let you plug your charger into a standard AC outlet at home or the track.

Alternatively, you can buy a Traxxas EZ-Peak Fast Charger and skip the adapter altogether. This would also allow for the use of Traxxas Lipo batteries.

2970 – EZ-Peak 4-amp
2971 – EZ-Peak 12-amp
