WHY IT

S THE ULTIMATE

The next-generation Slash 4X4 Ultimate represents Ready-To-Race® performance at the 
highest level. The Slash 4X4 Ultimate pushes the performance envelope; its new Low-CG 
chassis delivers superior handling and maximum corner speed and new 13mm bore GTR 
hard-anodized aluminum shocks provide consistent damping and smooth suspension 
action lap-after-lap. The result is lightning-fast steering response and smooth, consistent 
damping that raises the bar even higher on Slash 4X4 handling and precise control. 
The TQi Radio System with Docking Base and Slash 4X4 Ultimate’s factory-installed 

telemetry enable real-time data capture and set the standard for tuning ease and versatility. 
To truly make this the Ultimate Slash 4X4, the specs are completed with nearly every 
factory option available, from aluminum suspension components to a sealed, silicone filled 
differential. Simply put, it’s the best of the best.
