Traxxas slash ultimate review1/24/2024 ![]() Progressive springs are included to help soften the ride, and there are multiple mounting locations to further tune performance. While the audio Slash does not come with threaded shocks, you can still alter ride height by inserting or removing the preload spacers. The Slash features a four-wheel, independent suspension that is damped at all four corners by long, oil-filled shocks.If you do upgrade to a LiPo, you’ll need to get a foam block (or something similar) to take up the extra space in the battery tray. There is plenty of room on the chassis deck for future electronic upgrades and the centrally mounted battery tray will hold a 6- or 7-cell NiMh (7-cell is included) or LiPo pack. The ESC sits on a tray right behind the battery box and is firmly screwed to the chassis. The water- sealed receiver box is mounted on the left side of the chassis the onboard audio on the right. This means that you’ll have plenty of ground clearance when jumping in the dirt or off the curbs. For now the only chassis Traxxas has dropped the audio system into is the high-CG 2WD Slash.For those track owners looking for the next big thing, a Spec class of these might be the hot ticket! It’s not overpowered or difficult to drive and comes complete and ready to rock right out of the box. Outside of the audio, the Slash is a beginner’s best friend. (See what I did there?) The throaty notes of a Pro4 truck will attract a lot of people to the sport, especially those that love and attend Traxxas-sponsored TORC events. A little top-heavy and prone to rolling over quite easily on asphalt/concreteĪdding realistic audio to an already ‘sound’ platform is one of coolest things Traxxas could do.Traction is a bit low with the hard tires, but this also means they won’t wear out fast.Tons, and I do mean tons, of aftermarket support.Plenty of tuning adjustments for those who like to tinker. ![]() Packed with an all-metal gear Magnum 272 transmission and Revo-Spec Torque-Control slipper clutch.Equipped with Traxxas’ Titan 12-turn 550 motor and XL-5 waterproof ESC.Speakers mounted up inside the body not only produce sound, they also vibrate the body for even more realism. ![]()
