Nitro Slash Award-Winning TRX 3.3 Power!
Proven Slash performance. Legendary TRX-3.3 Power! As only Traxxas can, heavyweight
horsepower is combined with a lightweight 2WD chassis to deliver astounding
performance and over-the-top fun. The award-winning TRX-3.3 engine gives the
Nitro Slash tire-melting thrust that is far more than any driver needs--and
exactly what every driver wants. It takes Traxxas-Tough durability and a stout
drivetrain to handle the TRX-3.3’s outrageous output. Nitro Slash delivers with
proven components that have made the Slash the standard for durability, and fun.
The extra large capacity of the 150cc fuel tank keeps the action running longer
between fill ups and the exclusive EZ-Start electric starting system makes
starting as easy as pressing a button.
Extreme Power TRX 3.3 Racing Engine
For those who like their horsepower raw and screaming at the
red line, Nitro Slash delivers with the award-winning nitro fury of the TRX 3.3
Racing Engine. Nitro Slash punches hard with massive torque off the line and a
wide powerband—bury the throttle at anytime to send the rear S1 compound tires
into a raging fury of roosting dirt. The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine features a
precision composite slide carburetor, PowerTune™ cooling head, dyno-proven IPS
crankshaft, multi-port rear exhaust, and the starting convenience of the
exclusive Traxxas EZ-Start system.
It's competition-proven power with convenience and reliability for all-day
driving fun. The TRX 3.3 engine is an investment in performance for years to
come, fully protected by the exclusiveTraxxas
Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan.
Precision 2.4GHz Control Radio System
With the TQ™ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on and drive. There are no
channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ’s
ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are
enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage. To customize the
Nitro Slash’s controls, the transmitter’s factory servo directions can be easily
reversed through the simple programming system.
Built Traxxas Tough™
Nitro Slash is not only built to perform with its adjustable slipper clutch,
disc brake, and race-inspired suspension geometry, it's also built Traxxas
Tough™ for all-day driving fun. Nitro Slash's robust design keeps annoying
breakage to a minimum so that the action can keep going on and on. The rugged
6061-T6 aluminum chassis forms a rock-solid backbone that also draws heat away
from the engine. Full rubber-sealed ball bearings provide the ultimate
protection and low maintenance for nitro environments. The Magnum 281™
transmission uses a steel-composite planetary gear differential with
built-to-last hardened steel gears. The gear diff requires no time-consuming
adjustment and is virtually maintenance free. The oil-filled Ultra Shocks™ use
exclusive X-ring seal technology for reduced friction and superior leak
resistance. Traxxas engineers are dedicated to keeping you on the throttle, not
on the workbench.

Details
TRX 3.3 Racing Engine
No other engine
combines power, reliability and convenience as well as the TRX 3.3 Racing
Engine. This high-performance powerplant features a precision composite slide
carburetor for easy tuning and crisp throttle response, PowerTune™ blue-anodized
cooling head, dyno-proven IPS crankshaft and multi-port rear exhaust. The TRX
3.3 engine is also equipped with the exclusive Traxxas EZ-Start electric
starting system that makes starting the Nitro Slash as easy as pushing a button.
EZ-Start Electric
Starting
With EZ-Start, there’s no need for starter cords, glow
starters or their hassles. Instead, all you have to do is insert the EZ-Start
into the starter port and push the start button. It only takes one hand! The
Traxxas EZ-Start lights the glow plug and starts the engine in seconds, and
exclusive Smart Start™ technology monitors critical starting functions,
automatically sensing and diagnosing potential problems for troublefree engine
starting every time. LEDs provide realtime status, even alerting you when a glow
plug has failed.
Precision
2.4GHz Control
With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on
and drive. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on
having fun. The TQ’s ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and
its sleek lines are enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to
damage. To customize the Nitro Slash’s controls, the transmitter’s factory servo
directions can be easily reversed through the simple programming system.
Officially
Licensed BFGoodrich Tires
For track-ready style that performs, Nitro
Slash is outfitted with officially-licensed BFGoodrich* treads molded in a
specially formulated S1 rubber compound rear tires and standard compount fronts
to give the perfect balance of forward traction on the straights and slip-angle
in the turns. The tires are supported by foam inserts and securely bonded to
new, chrome wheels that have a bead-lock look just like the real deal.
Oil-Filled
Ultra Shocks™
Nitro Slash's advanced 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 shock rebuild kits.
Large
High-Volume Dual-Stage Air Filter
The Nitro Slash’s high-output TRX
3.3 engine breathes clean air through a new, larger air filter. The dual-stage
design traps large particles in the outer element, while the inner element flows
clean air to the engine. The new, larger diameter foam elements allow greater
airflow, and more air means more horsepower.
150cc
Fuel Tank
More fuel means more drive time between refills, and with
150cc on board, Nitro Slash stretches every run. A pull handle makes it easy to
yank the tank open for fast filling, and the tank is specially designed to
maintain consistent fuel flow no matter how rough the driving conditions. The
tank’s lowered sump keeps the fuel pickup submerged, and baffles prevent fuel
from sloshing out of the sump.
Enclosed
Receiver and Battery Boxes
The compact battery box accepts 4 AA
alkaline batteries or a 5-cell rechargeable receiver pack (#3037 sold
separately) and it integrates the on/off switch for convenient access. The
receiver is housed in an enclosed box to protect it from dirt, debris, and fuel
splashes.
High-Torque
Steering and Throttle Servos
A high-speed short course truck needs
powerful servos for responsive performance. The included Traxxas high-torque
steering servo comes standard for enhanced steering authority and reliability.
Magnum
281™ Transmission
The Nitro Magnum 281™ single speed transmission is
built Nitro Tough™ with 32 pitch gears, metal top gear and idler gear, and
smooth-running, long-lasting precision ball bearings. This proven, track-tested,
three-gear design is built for performance driving applications.
Adjustable
Slipper Clutch
The slipper clutch on the Nitro Slash is fully
adjustable to control the power output to the rear wheels for increased traction
control on a wide variety of surfaces. It also protects the transmission during
high-impact jump landings.
Planetary
Gear Differential
The Traxxas planetary gear differential features a
nylon housing for long life. It 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
torque to the wheels.
Heavy-Duty
Driveshafts
Nitro Slash's telescoping, universal-joint driveshafts may
look familiar but they have evolved for increased strength and articulation.
Traxxas U-joint driveshafts allow for maximum suspension movement resulting in
longer travel and tighter turning. Extra material and design tweaks greatly
increase torque handling. The shafts can even be used to upgrade Nitro Slash and
other Traxxas models!
Tuned
Pipe
Call it a factory 'works' pipe. The pipe length and shape are
dyno-tuned for the TRX 3.3 to bring out the most power over the broadest RPM
range. All that means is you can nail the throttle hard at any speed and get
some serious roost.
Race
Replica Painted Bodies
Nitro Slash rolls out of the box ready for
action with a factory-finished and mounted Race Replica body and decals already
applied for you, so its Ready-to-Race. There are four officially-licensed
styles to choose from: Mark Jenkins Edition (#25 Traxxas), Rob MacCacharen
Edition (#21 MOPAR), Chad Hord Edition (#9 BOSS Snowplow), and Robby Gordon
Edition (#7 SPEED Energy).
Realistic
& Functional Front and Rear Bumpers
More than mere styling pieces,
Nitro Slash’s tube-style front and rear bumpers provide crash protection while
adding to the truck’s realistic looks. The bumpers are designed to flex and
spring back from impacts to protect the chassis and body.
Adjustable
Steel Turnbuckles
Factory fitted, heavy-duty steel turnbuckles allow
camber and toe tuning. The Nitro 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 simply won't pop off.
Rubber-Sealed
Ball Bearings
Nitro Slash is built for extreme offroad use, so only
the best rubber-sealed bearings will do. Traxxas’ precision ball-bearings resist
dirt and dust to deliver lasting low-friction performance, run after run.
