INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Traxxas Slash. The Traxxas Slash Short-
Course Race Truck puts you in the drivers seat for intense fender-
to-fender, high-flying off-road action. The full-scale Short-Course
Race Trucks embody the spirit of Traxxas R/C with their extreme
800+ horsepower racing engines full-throttle, dirt-roosting power
slides, giant suspension travel, and Supercross-style big-air jumps.
The Traxxas Slash brings all the action home so you can experience
the high-speed head-to-head competition at the track or in your
own backyard. The Slash was inspired by full-scale rear-wheel drive
trucks purpose built to fly over jumps and rip full-throttle through
the turns. The Traxxas Slash hangs it out for an all new way to
challenge your driving skills. The 4-wheel independent suspension
has been carefully tuned to replicate the full-scale driving and
handling experience as closely as possible. The scale appearing tires
provide just the right amount of bite and thick, blinding clouds of
dirt roost.
