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

The Traxxas Slash 2WD XL-5 is a tough, easy-to-drive 1/10 scale short-course truck designed for backyard bashing, off-road driving and short-course racing.

Traxxas 58234-8ORNGX is the Orange X version and comes fully assembled with a Titan 12-Turn 550 brushed motor, waterproof XL-5 ESC, TQ 2.4GHz radio system, Extreme Heavy Duty suspension components, battery and USB-C charger. Traxxas rates the Slash 2WD at 30+ mph (48+ km/h).

Extreme Heavy Duty Suspension

The latest Slash 2WD features factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty suspension components, designed to provide increased strength in key areas.

This makes the Slash well suited to jumps, rough terrain and the inevitable impacts that come with everyday RC bashing.

Titan 12-Turn 550 Motor

Power comes from the proven Titan 12T 550 brushed motor, delivering strong torque and acceleration for a brushed Ready-To-Race truck.

Combined with the lightweight rear-wheel-drive chassis, the Slash is capable of speeds of 30+ mph / 48+ km/h.

Waterproof XL-5 ESC

The XL-5 Electronic Speed Control provides forward, brake and reverse operation with waterproof construction for all-weather RC use.

Selectable driving profiles include Sport Mode, Race Mode and Training Mode. Training Mode reduces the available power, making it particularly useful for younger or inexperienced drivers.

2WD Rear-Wheel Drive

The Slash uses a simple and proven rear-wheel-drive drivetrain.

The 2WD layout makes the truck easy to maintain while providing entertaining handling, with plenty of opportunity for powerslides and tail-out action on loose surfaces.

Clipless Orange X Body

The 58234-8ORNGX features the updated Orange X factory-finished body with Traxxas' convenient clipless mounting system.

Hidden front and rear latches eliminate traditional body clips, allowing the shell to be removed quickly while giving the truck a clean scale appearance. Traxxas' parts documentation confirms the clipless body mounting system used on model 58234-8.

Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks

Traxxas Ultra Shocks use oil-filled damping to provide controlled suspension movement over bumps, jumps and uneven terrain.

Spring preload can be adjusted to alter ride height and suspension response for different driving conditions.

Short-Course Wheels & Tyres

The Slash uses realistic short-course style wheels and tyres designed to provide a combination of off-road traction and predictable handling.

The tyres come factory mounted and glued, so there's no tyre assembly required before driving.

TQ 2.4GHz Radio System

A Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz radio system is included.

The 2.4GHz system automatically provides a reliable radio connection without the frequency crystals required by older RC radio systems.

Battery & USB-C Charger Included

One of the biggest advantages of the 58234-8 series is that the battery and charger are supplied in the package.

Traxxas officially lists model 58234-8 as the Slash 2WD XL-5 with Battery, making it a convenient package for customers purchasing their first hobby-grade RC truck.
