Traxxas Slash VXL Brushless 1/10 RTR 2WD Short-Course Truck (w/TQi 2.4GHz, Batte

This is the Traxxas Slash VXL 1/10 Scale RTR Electric 2WD Short-Course Truck. Introducing the latest member of the VXL family; the award winning, best-selling Traxxas Slash, now with extreme Velineon Brushless Power! Slash VXL crushes the competition with brute force acceleration and unmatched top speed. With the included Power Cell 7-cell NiMh battery, the Slash VXL rockets over 40mph. Install an optional 3S LiPo pack, and the Slash VXL blasts past 60mph! Slash VXL includes the Velineon Brushless Power System with LiPo-ready VXL-3s speed control and high-rpm Velineon 3500 motor.

But Traxxas didn’t stop there; for steering precision at maximum speed, the Slash VXL includes a new dual-bellcrank steering system with integrated servo-saver (originally developed for Slash 4X4). Heavy-duty universal-joint driveshafts were engineered to handle the massive brushless torque. Re-tuned suspension tightens up the handling for those high-speed runs. 60+mph performance requires long-range control, and Slash VXL delivers with the switch on and drive convenience of the TQi 2.4GHz high-output radio system with Traxxas Link. Slash VXL: because at Traxxas, having fun means going faster than everyone else!

TQi Radio System
The Traxxas® TQi™ radio system arrives with a full complement of tuning features, long-range 2.4GHz signal, and proven Traxxas reliability for rock-solid performance. It's so advanced, it doesn't even need an external antenna. The TQi radio system is equipped with superior Direct Sequence Spread-Spectrum (DSSS) technology, fully programmable features, and the convenience of patent-pending Traxxas Link™ automatic model recognition. The transmitter’s easy-to-use design provides the instant, worry-free, turn-it-on-and-go driving fun you expect from Traxxas, while also delivering pro-level tuning features for those who wish to explore the expanded tuning possibilities. The Multi-Function knob on the face of the transmitter can be programmed to control a variety of functions such as steering exponential, steering and braking dual rate, and throttle trim. Other tuning options include end point adjustment, servo reversing, and sub trim adjustment. The TQi 2.4GHz transmitter pumps out a strong, clear signal for optimum range. The 13ms frame rate and near zero latency results in instant steering and throttle response along with precise, smooth control. The TQi is compatible with the optional TQi Docking Base and Traxxas Link application.
