Traxxas Slash 2WD XL-5 1/10 Short Course Truck RTR – Green X – 58234-8GRNX

The Traxxas Slash 2WD XL-5 is one of the most popular short-course RC trucks, combining realistic racing-truck styling with a tough chassis, waterproof electronics and an easy-to-use Ready-To-Race package.

Traxxas 58234-8GRNX is the Green X colour version and comes complete with a 3000mAh 8.4V 7-cell NiMH battery and 4-amp USB-C fast charger, making it an excellent package for newcomers to hobby-grade RC.

Extreme Heavy Duty Components

The latest Slash 2WD receives Traxxas' factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty suspension components, providing increased strength in key areas of the truck.

The upgraded components are designed to withstand the hard impacts, jumps and rough treatment that short-course trucks typically encounter.

Titan 12-Turn 550 Motor

Power comes from the proven Titan 12T 550 brushed motor.

Its large 550-size design provides strong torque and acceleration, with Traxxas rating the Slash at 30+ mph (approximately 48+ km/h).

Waterproof XL-5 ESC

The XL-5 electronic speed controller provides forward, reverse and braking functions and features waterproof construction for all-weather RC use.

Three selectable drive profiles include Sport Mode, Race Mode and Training Mode. Training Mode reduces available power, making it particularly useful for beginners learning to control the truck.

Magnum 272 Transmission

The Slash uses Traxxas' proven Magnum 272 transmission, transferring power to the rear wheels through a tough and straightforward 2WD drivetrain.

The enclosed gearbox helps protect the internal gears from dirt and debris, while a slipper clutch helps manage power delivery and protects the drivetrain from sudden shock loads.

Clipless Body Mounting

The latest Slash features Traxxas' convenient clipless body mounting system.

Heavy-duty concealed latches securely hold the body in place without traditional body clips or exposed posts. The body can be removed quickly for access to the battery and electronics.

BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain Tyres

Officially licensed BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tyres provide excellent traction and realistic short-course styling.

The tyres come factory mounted and glued, so the Slash is ready for action straight from the box.

Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks

Traxxas Ultra Shocks use oil-filled damping to provide smooth and consistent suspension movement over rough terrain.

Spring preload can be adjusted to alter ride height and suspension response to suit different surfaces.

TQ 2.4GHz Radio System

The included Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz radio system provides reliable interference-free control without the need to manage radio frequencies or crystals.

Simply switch on the transmitter and truck and you're ready to drive.

Battery & USB-C Charger Included

Unlike many RTR vehicles that require the battery and charger to be purchased separately, 58234-8GRNX includes both.

The package includes a Traxxas Power Cell 3000mAh 8.4V 7-cell NiMH battery together with a 4-amp USB-C fast charger.

This makes the Slash an especially convenient choice for first-time RC owners.
