Project Model

The engineers at Traxxas don’t do anything halfway; case in point, the Nitro Slash. Unwilling to settle for mediocre, Nitro Slash was given an all-new 6061-T6 aluminum platform, and then received the potent horsepower of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine. Just in name alone, the Nitro Slash carries a legacy of durability and performance. It is the definition of rock-solid reliability. Here are some options to help squeeze out a little more performance from your Nitro Slash and set it apart from the crowd.

Hotheads and Breathing Better

The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine already screams, but we installed the optional Resonator Tuned Pipe. The new pipe helps Nitro Slash exhale more easily. The chrome finish looks cool, too.

Keep Your Cool

Keeping your cool is a good idea in general. We opted to add a Temperature Sensor to make sure the TRX 3.3 engine was running at the optimal temperature.

Bumps and Turns

To increase the bump and jump control, we added a full set of Big Bore Aluminum Shocks. Silky smooth suspension travel and rugged durability are always a plus.
Aluminum Turnbuckles save weight and add strength. Red-anodizing looks good on the Nitro Slash.
Precision Aluminum Steering Bell Cranks keep steering control clean and crisp.
Everybody likes aluminum, us included. Our Nitro Slash received the aluminum treatment to help beef up key points in the suspension and add to the overall appearance.

Putting the Power Down

Steel Constant Velocity Shafts beef up the drivetrain. Less rotating mass also means more efficient use of power.

Other Details

Blue-anodized aluminum lock nuts are all about attention to the little details.
Waterproof 2075 servos were assigned the steering and throttle responsibilities.
Full throttle and tons of roost. Proof that we don't just build the vehicles; we drive them hard, too.
