4 • SLASH KIT

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Traxxas Slash unassembled kit. 

The Traxxas Slash short-course race truck puts you in the driver’s 

seat for intense fender-to-fender, high-flying off-road action. 

Bringing the thrill of 900+ horsepower full-scale racing and 

head-to-head competition to your own backyard. The rear-

wheel drive Slash is purpose built to fly over jumps and rip full-

throttle through the turns. The Slash hangs it out for an all new 

way to challenge your driving skills. The 4-wheel independent 

suspension and racing tires carefully replicate real world driving 

and handling experience as closely as possible. 

This manual details the assembly of the Slash. This manual 

will also acquaint you with the model’s many different 

components and its mechanical operation. Read through 

the manual and examine the model carefully before opening 

any of the parts bags included in the kit. If for some reason 

you think the model is not what you wanted, then do not 

continue any further. Your hobby dealer absolutely cannot 

accept a model for return or exchange which has been run or 

contains open bags. 

If you have any questions about your Slash, call Traxxas’ 

technical support department at 1-888-TRAXXAS (1-888-872-

9927) (U.S. residents only). Outside the U.S., call +1-972-549-

3000). Technical support is available Monday through Friday, 

from 8:30am to 9:00pm central time. Technical assistance 

is also available at Traxxas.com/support or via e-mail at 

[email protected].

ASSEMBLY HINTS

To assemble this kit, you’ll need a large flat working area 

where you will have plenty of room to build. Be sure it’s a 

place where you can leave your work spread out and not in 

the way when you want to take a break from the assembly. 

Allow yourself plenty of time to build this kit; assembly time is 

going to vary with each individual. Experienced builders may 

only need 4-5 hours to assemble this kit, while others may 

spend an entire weekend on it. You should feel comfortable 

with taking as much time as needed to properly build and set 

up your model.

If you’ve been exploring the contents of your kit box, you’ve 

noticed many bags of small parts. Open only one bag at a 

time. To keep the parts organized, use small paper plates 

or several large plastic plates with partitions to contain the 

parts. Label the paper plates, and then pour the contents 

of the bags onto them. This puts the parts out in the open 

where you can find them easily. The plates also prevent small 

parts from rolling off the table.

Please read the text next to each diagram. The text contains 

important information, such as assembly steps, screw sizes, 

and part numbers. Also, pay attention to any notes that may 

follow some steps. Before you attempt to run your newly-built 

model, please read all of the instructions and precautions 

included in the Owner’s Manual. You can download the 

Owner’s Manual for the Slash, as well as the manuals for all 

Traxxas vehicles, at Traxxas.com.

Remember, as you assemble your Traxxas model, you are not 

alone. If you have any questions or run into difficulties, call 

Traxxas’ technical support department at 1-888-TRAXXAS 

(1-888-872-9927) (U.S. residents only). Outside the U.S., call 

+1-972-549-3000). Technical support is available Monday 

through Friday, from 8:30am to 9:00pm central time.
