Traxxas Maxx Slash 6S 1/10 4WD Brushless RTR Short Course Truck

The Traxxas Maxx Slash 6S 1/10 4WD Brushless Ready to Run combines the iconic Slash design with the robust Maxx platform for a high-performance RC short course truck. Powered by a Velineon VXL-6S ESC and 2000kV brushless motor, it achieves speeds over 70 mph with 6S LiPo power. Featuring Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), belted Maxx SC tires, and a low-CG chassis, this truck delivers agile handling for brushless RC truck enthusiasts on diverse terrains.

Performance

The Maxx Slash delivers speeds exceeding 70 mph with 6S power, driven by a 2000kV brushless motor and VXL-6S ESC with a cooling fan. The full-time 4WD system, steel-core hybrid driveshafts, and sealed differentials ensure robust traction on dirt, grass, or pavement. Belted Maxx SC tires minimize ballooning, but high-speed runs may wear them quickly on abrasive surfaces, requiring replacements. The TSM system enhances control, though steering can feel twitchy at top speeds without tuning. Overheating in the ESC or motor may occur during extended aggressive runs, and wet conditions can reduce traction without paddle tire upgrades.,

Design and Features

The pre-painted red ProGraphix clipless body offers a sleek, non-specific short course design with hex-reinforced skid plates for durability. The modular low-CG chassis and GT-Maxx shocks improve stability, but the polycarbonate body is prone to scratches and cracking during high-impact crashes. The absence of included LED lights limits nighttime appeal, though aftermarket options are available. The large battery tray supports 4S, dual 2S, or dual 3S LiPo configurations, but no battery or charger is included, adding setup costs. The all-metal drivetrain supports 6S power, though stock tires may balloon slightly at high speeds.,

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The TQi 2.4GHz transmitter with TSM offers adjustable control for beginners, but the small grip may be uncomfortable for some. Runtimes vary from 20–40 minutes with 6S LiPo setups, with charging times of 60–90 minutes depending on the charger. Maintenance is simplified with a modular chassis, but debris accumulates easily without a dust cover, and small screws strip during repairs. The waterproof electronics allow wet-surface use, per the manual’s standards, but telemetry requires a separate Traxxas Link module.,,

Special Notes: This is a Ready to Run model, fully assembled with a red ProGraphix body, TQi radio, and four AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a 4S, dual 2S, or dual 3S LiPo battery and charger (not included). Suitable for beginners with TSM, while advanced users can tune shocks or add telemetry for racing.
