Its here the latest addition to the radio controlled vehicle market. The Traxxas Slash 4×4 is what you have come to expect from their brand; a fast and exciting 4-wheel drive vehicle that allows you to embrace your inner speed demon.

With a capability of racing at surprisingly quick speeds, you can execute turns and tricks with ease. The Slash 4×4 has a variety of features including:

• Rigid chassis – all new!
• Racing suspension
• Highly efficient shaft drive
• Steering system – all new!
• Real, licensed BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A Tires
• Velineon brushless power
• Revo sealed differentials
• TQ 2.4 Ghz radio system

With all of these features, you can expect from Traxxas a design that is innovative and is perfect for amazing speed and performance. While keeping all of the critically acclaimed features and characteristics that have been associated with the brand, they have enhanced it by looking to racing for their inspiration.

In terms of power, the Slash 4×4 uses sophisticated technology bred from the racing industry. Traxxas recognizes that this technology is quickly advancing and has made the radio controlled market evolve from its simple toy-like beginnings.

The Slash 4×4’s track-bred design introduces new components that produce a radio controlled vehicle performance speed capability of over 60-80 miles per hour. Your speed capability is determined by your choice of battery size and pinion gear. For example, if you choose the 8.4 volt battery and a 13 pinion gear, you can reach speeds of over 35 miles per hour. Conversely, if you choose an 11.1 volt battery and a 19 pinion gear, speeds of over 60 miles per hour are possible. This flexibility of power choice gives both beginners and experienced hobbyists the ability to choose what is best for them.

With higher speed capabilities comes the necessity of experience. If you are new to the hobby of radio controlled vehicles, you should start at the lowest level then build to higher speeds as you become more skilled at controlling your Slash 4×4.

Once you have upped your skill level with your Slash 4×4, you may decide to enter races with your vehicle. Many racers have their own backyard tracks or go to local parks to race against their friends. However, if you want to take it to the next levels, you will want to use a more official race track. These can be found via your local hobby shop, which in some cases have their own track on the premises. If they do not have a track, they should be able to direct you to local racing clubs that hold regular races.

Your new Slash 4×4 has the features, the power and innovation to inspire both beginners and professionals alike. Traxxas’ engineers have poured all of their knowledge and racing inspiration into the design and execution of the Slash 4×4 to deliver just the performance and fun that every enthusiast is looking for in a top-of-the-line radio controlled vehicle.
