Accelerate Faster/Corner Faster/Brake Harder/Stay in Control

Traxxas Stability Management TSM® allows you to experience all the extreme power, speed, and acceleration that was engineered into your Nitro Slash making it much easier to control on common slippery surfaces such as loose dirt, smooth concrete, and even ice and snow. Punch it off the line and TSM goes to work sensing the vehicle’s direction and making steering corrections to provide straight-ahead full-throttle acceleration without fishtailing, spinouts, and loss of control. TSM also works during cornering, first making intuitive corrections to maintain your line, and then allowing you to hammer the throttle earlier in the turn for much faster exit speeds. Braking is dramatically improved as TSM works to keep you arrow straight until you come to a complete stop.

EZ-Start® Electric Starting

With EZ-Start, there’s no need for starter cords, glow starters or their hassles. Instead, all you have to do is insert the EZ-Start into the starter port and push the start button. It only takes one hand! The Traxxas EZ-Start lights the glow plug and starts the engine in seconds, and exclusive Smart Start™ technology monitors critical starting functions, automatically sensing and diagnosing potential problems for troublefree engine starting every time. LEDs provide realtime status, even alerting you when a glow plug has failed.

2-amp DC Peak Detecting Fast Charger

Nitro Slash includes a 2-amp peak detecting charger for quick, convenient, hassle-free charging of the EZ-Start battery. The charger uses a 12-Volt DC power outlet for charging for charging in the field. The brilliant LED provides charging status while the battery charges. The peak-detecting charger is optimized for charging Traxxas Power Cell NiMH battery packs. Just plug the included Power Cell battery in for a perfect charge, run after run.

Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks™

Nitro Slash's advanced oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize X-ring technology for a perfect seal and super-smooth performance. They are fully tunable with a wide range of oils, springs, and pistons. Features include pressure bladders for air/oil separation and spring clips to precisely change the ride height and spring pre-load. They can be renewed in minutes with our inexpensive shock rebuild kits.

Large High-Volume Dual-Stage Air Filter

The Nitro Slash’s high-output TRX 3.3 engine breathes clean air through a large air filter. The dual-stage design traps large particles in the outer element, while the inner element flows clean air to the engine. The larger diameter foam elements allow greater airflow, and more air means more horsepower.

150cc Fuel Tank

More fuel means more drive time between refills, and with 150cc on board, Nitro Slash stretches every run. A pull handle makes it easy to yank the tank open for fast filling, and the tank is specially designed to maintain consistent fuel flow no matter how rough the driving conditions. The tank’s lowered sump keeps the fuel pickup submerged, and baffles prevent fuel from sloshing out of the sump.

Enclosed Receiver and Battery Boxes

The compact battery box accepts 4 AA alkaline batteries or a 5-cell rechargeable receiver pack (#3037 sold separately) and it integrates the on/off switch for convenient access. The receiver is housed in an enclosed box to protect it from dirt, debris, and fuel splashes.

High-Torque Steering and Throttle Servos

A high-speed short course truck needs powerful servos for responsive performance. The included Traxxas high-torque steering servo comes standard for enhanced steering authority and reliability.

Magnum 281™ Transmission

The Nitro Magnum 281™ single speed transmission is built Nitro Tough™ with 32 pitch gears, metal top gear and idler gear, and smooth-running, long-lasting precision ball bearings. This proven, track-tested, three-gear design is built for performance driving applications.
