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

The Traxxas Slash 2WD XL-5 delivers classic short-course racing action in a tough, easy-to-use Ready-To-Race package. Traxxas 58234-8REDX is the striking Red X colour version, complete with battery and USB-C fast charger.

Powered by the proven Titan 12-Turn 550 brushed motor and waterproof XL-5 ESC, the Slash is capable of speeds of 30+ mph (48+ km/h). Its rear-wheel-drive layout provides entertaining handling on dirt, gravel and other loose surfaces.

Extreme Heavy Duty Suspension

The latest Slash 2WD comes factory equipped with Extreme Heavy Duty suspension components for increased strength and durability.

These upgraded components help the Slash withstand hard landings, jumps and the impacts associated with everyday RC bashing.

Titan 12-Turn 550 Motor

The Titan 12T 550 brushed motor provides strong torque and acceleration with straightforward brushed-motor reliability.

Combined with the lightweight 2WD chassis, it gives the Slash plenty of performance for beginners while remaining entertaining for experienced drivers.

Waterproof XL-5 ESC

The XL-5 electronic speed control features waterproof construction, allowing the Slash to be driven in a wide variety of conditions.

Selectable drive profiles include Sport Mode, Race Mode and Training Mode, with Training Mode reducing power to make the truck easier for new drivers to control.

Brushless-Ready Magnum 272 Transmission

Power is transferred to the rear wheels through Traxxas' Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission.

Traxxas describes the current transmission as brushless-ready, providing a strong drivetrain foundation and leaving the option open for future performance upgrades.

Clipless Red X Body

The 58234-8REDX features a factory-finished Red X short-course race body with Traxxas' convenient clipless mounting system.

Concealed body latches eliminate traditional body clips and exposed mounting posts, allowing the body to be removed quickly for battery and electronics access.

Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks

Oil-filled shocks provide controlled suspension movement over jumps and rough terrain.

The Slash features a fully adjustable short-course suspension setup, allowing ride height and suspension settings to be tuned for different driving conditions.

TQ 2.4GHz Radio System

A Traxxas TQ 2.4GHz radio system is included as standard.

The system provides straightforward, reliable control without the need for frequency crystals or manual channel selection.

Battery & USB-C Charger Included

Everything needed for the main drive power system is included in the package.

The Slash comes with an 8.4V 3000mAh Traxxas Power Cell NiMH battery and a 45+ watt, 4-amp USB-C fast charger with Traxxas iD technology.

This makes the 58234-8 series particularly convenient for customers buying their first hobby-grade RC vehicle.
