Adjustable Steel Turnbuckles (Slash #5803/#5805)Adjustable Steel Turnbuckles
Heavy duty steel turnbuckles allow camber and toe tuning. Slash is completely adjustable right out of the box to fine tune handling agility and high-speed performance.Captured rod ends provide unmatched durability and they won't pop off.

­

Metal Gear Magnum 272™ Transmission (cut-away)Metal Gear Magnum 272™ Transmission
Slash's Magnum 272 transmission features metal gears riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power transfers quietly to the durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks. Best of all, the Magnum 272 is built Traxxas Tough™ to handle massive brushless power without the need for costly upgrades

­

Steel-Composite Planetary Gear DifferentialBrushless-Ready Planetary Gear Differential
The planetary gear differential uses hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous off-road bashing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance and its efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding power to the wheels.

­

Torque-Control™ Slipper ClutchTorque-Control™ Slipper Clutch
The Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent traction control. The semi-metallic friction material remains stable across a wide temperature range to provide smooth, linear engagement you can count on, run after run. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering the slipper adjustment.

­

Motor Mount with Integrated Cooling Channels (for Slash)Motor Mount with Integrated Cooling Channels
The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks. The molded motor plate includes finned cooling channels where the motor mounts to the motor plate. The cooling channels work in conjunction with the internal Titan 12T motor fan to pull air through the motor for superior cooling.

­

Pinion Gear
Included Optional Pinion Gear
Slash reaches its blistering 30+ mph top speed on-road using the optional 23-tooth pinion gear (included). Out of the box, the installed 16-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on- or off-road action.

­

Hex Hardware
Hex Hardware
Pro-quality, high-grade, metric hex-drive hardware is used throughout for extra strength, and easy maintenance and repair. The black-oxide rust-resistant finish provides a high tech look and feel.

­

Rubber-Sealed Ball BearingsRubber-Sealed Ball Bearings
Precision rubber-sealed bearings offer the ultimate in super low-friction performance and maximum protection in dusty environments. They are used in all exposed locations on the truck and are virtually maintenance free.

­

Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks (3762A), Progressive Rate White Springs (4957R) (cut-away)Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks
Slash's 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 rebuild kits.

­

Progressive Rate Powder Coated White Springs (Slash 58034-8)Progressive-Rate Powder Coated White Springs
The race-tuned progressive rate springs soak up the small bumps as a softer spring would, but when the conditions get rough and the jumps get big, the progressive rate springs step up to the challenge by getting firmer as the suspension is compressed. The long-lasting, white powder coated finish sets Slash apart from the pack.
