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.
We know you're excited about getting your new model on the road,
but it's very important that you take some time to read through
this Owner's Manual. It contains the instructions you will need to
operate and maintain your model so that you can enjoy it for years
to come. This manual also contains all the necessary set-up and
operating procedures that will allow you to unlock the performance

possible. We truly want you to enjoy your new model!
