This is the Traxxas Nitro Slash 3.3 1/10 Ready-To-Race® 2WD Short-Course Truck. Traxxas has combined the legendary TRX-3.3 engine with proven 2wd Slash performance to deliver heavyweight horsepower in a lightweight 2wd chassis to provide astounding performance and over-the-top fun. The award-winning TRX-3.3 engine gives the Nitro Slash tire-melting thrust that is far more than any driver needs--and exactly what every driver wants. It takes Traxxas-Tough durability and a stout drivetrain to handle the TRX-3.3’s outrageous output. Nitro Slash delivers with proven components that have made the Slash the standard for durability, and fun. The extra large capacity of the 150cc fuel tank keeps the action running longer between fill ups and the exclusive EZ-Start electric starting system makes starting as easy as pressing a button.



Extreme Power TRX 3.3 Racing Engine
For those who like their horsepower raw and screaming at the red line, Nitro Slash delivers with the award-winning nitro fury of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine. Nitro Slash punches hard with massive torque off the line and a wide powerband—bury the throttle at anytime to send the rear S1 compound tires into a raging fury of roosting dirt. The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine features a precision composite slide carburetor, PowerTune™ cooling head, dyno-proven IPS crankshaft, multi-port rear exhaust, and the starting convenience of the exclusive Traxxas EZ-Start® system. It's competition-proven power with convenience and reliability for all-day driving fun. The TRX 3.3 engine is an investment in performance for years to come, fully protected by the exclusive Traxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan.

Precision 2.4GHz Control Radio System
With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on and drive. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ’s ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage. To customize the Nitro Slash’s controls, the transmitter’s factory servo directions can be easily reversed through the simple programming system.

Built Traxxas Tough
Nitro Slash is not only built to perform with its adjustable slipper clutch, disc brake, and race-inspired suspension geometry, it's also built Traxxas Tough™ for all-day driving fun. Nitro Slash's robust design keeps annoying breakage to a minimum so that the action can keep going on and on. The rugged 6061-T6 aluminum chassis forms a rock-solid backbone that also draws heat away from the engine. Full rubber-sealed ball bearings provide the ultimate protection and low maintenance for nitro environments. The Magnum 281™ transmission uses a steel-composite planetary gear differential with built-to-last hardened steel gears. The gear diff requires no time-consuming adjustment and is virtually maintenance free. The oil-filled Ultra Shocks™ use exclusive X-ring seal technology for reduced friction and superior leak resistance. Traxxas engineers are dedicated to keeping you on the throttle, not on the workbench.

Traxxas Nitro Slash 3.3 1/10 RTR 2WD Short Course Truck w/TQ 2.4Ghz Radio
The nitro slash is an AWESOME truck. Out of the box, i swapped out the plastic exhaust with the blue jato exhaust and the double a battery holster for a hump batter pack. (btw you need a servo extension, the battery pack itself, and another receiver switch, because the pack it comes with is soldered straight to the switch so you cant use it). But after these highly recomended upgrades it runs great, the servos are faster and stronger and the engine gains some nice power down low. The break in went okay, the engine was a little stubborn for the first few tanks, but after that it went smooth. During tuning the engine started to show its massive power. The 3.3 tuned up pretty easily and fires up every time. It does get tail happy on loose dirt and if you have a heavy throttle finger but even whith good throttle control its pretty hard to keep it straight but its not because of the lack of traction in the rear, its the lack of traction in the front, it too light and easily steers where it wants. I stiffened the rear suspenion with one of the medium shock spacers included and it help with traction in the back. Overall its controlable and its a pretty good setup with a few suspension tweaks it will be a solid truck .I dont know how it handles on the track as i havent ran it yet on one but Jang from youtube does a nice review on that .Their were a few minor problems i had. One of them was , one the screws on the transmission radio tray and caster links came loose so you might want to tighten those up before you run yours. The other one is the at a full tank theres too much pressure in the tank causing it to push too much fuel and it richen the engnie up drastically, but at about half a tank, thats when it starts leaning and the true tune comes out. So the only way to fix it is tune it at half a tank keep like that and let it run rich for the first half or tune it at a full tank then retune it again at half tank but i dont know if im the only who has this problem or what , but anyway sorry for the long reveiw its a real neat truck and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested.

Oh and if you were patient enough to do your homework to visit Traxxas's easy to use website you could have downloaded the manual straight then and there and it will tell you what acceptable percentages to run,

Typically for bashing and messing around I've had good luck with Sidewinder nitro in 20% in a Kyosho Inferno GT2, an T-Maxx 3.3, as well as my Savage XL.

Remember if you can't learn to tune watch and listen to more YouTube videos or next time youre at the track ask the guy next to you to make sure you're doing it right. RC enthusiasts out there are generally friendly people.

Give him a compliment on his rigs to break the ice! I'm still not the best tuner out there which is why I went all brushless.
