Robby
Gordon is well known for versatile driving skills that have earned him success
in everything from NASCAR to short-course off-road racing. Robby got his start
as a desert racer in 1986, and he remains a force in this unique brand of
high-speed, high-endurance competition. Unmistakable in his tough black and
vivid orange race trucks, Robby is a fan favorite and a top contender when the
green flag drops on the famous Dakar Rally. And now you can drive Robby’s ride
yourself with the Traxxas Robby Gordon Edition Dakar Slash!
The award-winning Traxxas Slash puts you in the driver's seat for intense,
high-flying off-road action. Robby's full-size Dakar truck embodies the spirit
of Traxxas R/C with its 6.0 liter LS2 V8 racing engine, sand-shredding
horsepower, 20-inch suspension travel, and desert-conquering durability. The
Dakar Slash brings all the action home so you can experience high-speed
head-to-head competition no matter where the terrain takes you--even water, mud,
and snow thanks to Traxxas' exclusive waterproof electronics!

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 lightweight with just four AA batteries
on board (batteries not included). The TQ scores on style with its black-chrome
wheel and smoothly integrated handle, and the internal-antenna design gives the
transmitter a sleek profile while shielding the antenna from damage.
Off-Road Anywhere
The Dakar Slash is fully equipped for off-road adventure. The long-travel
suspension and oil-filled shocks easily absorb jumps and rough terrain. The
unique chassis design provides huge center ground clearance to drive over deep
ruts, rocks, and other obstacles that leave ordinary R/C trucks stuck on their
low-slung chassis. Advanced tread design and sophisticated rubber compounds
provide incredible off-road grip with the versatility to perform well on
concrete and asphalt. In addition to capturing the square-shouldered look of the
full-size truck, the Dakar Slash's full-coverage fenders let you race wheel to
wheel without tangling tires.
Waterproof Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Traxxas gives you the freedom to drive where you want to drive, even through
water, mud, snow, and other wet-running conditions never possible before. The
proven XL-5 speed control and high-torque 2075 steering servo are impervious to
water, and the 2.4GHz mini receiver is protected against the elements in a
unique o-ring sealed enclosure, giving you the freedom to enjoy realistic
all-weather desert-racing action.
Modified Muscle
The Titan 12T 550
modified motor delivers hard-hitting torque and high-RPM power to easily
outperform "stock" motors. An integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through vent
tunnels molded in the motor plate, keeping motor temperature down and power
output high for faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life. The XL-5
Speed Control offers high current handling, EZ-Set one-button
setup, and smooth high-frequency control. Three drive profiles, LiPo-ready low
voltage detection, thermal overload protection, and incredibly low
resistance--all features you expect to find only with expensive aftermarket
speed controls. Traxxas High-Current Connector's are standard to efficiently
transfer every amp from the included Power Cell NiMH battery, and optional Power
Cell LiPo packs.
Training Mode
Traxxas' exclusive patent-pending Training Mode let's everyone
get in on the racing action. Just press a button to limit full-throttle power to
50%. This allows young or inexperienced drivers to safely develop their control
skills before unlocking the Dakar Slash's full power and speed capabiltiy.
Training mode even makes it easy to hand the transmitter over to your friends
who have never driven a radio-controlled truck before.
Brushless Ready
The
Dakar Slash is ready to make the jump to extremeVelineon
brushless horsepower, no modifications required. The Velineon power system
(sold separately) installs in minutes and boosts the Dakar Slash's top speed to
over 40mph with the included 7-cell NiMH battery. Add an 11.1V
Traxxas Power Cell LiPo battery (sold separately), and unleash over 60mph!
Bigger roosts, higher speeds, and higher jumps are right at your fingertips. The
Magnum 272 transmission's steel gears, full ball bearings, universal-joint
driveshafts, and Torque Control slipper clutch are all rated for extreme
brushless horsepower--exactly what you need for peak power delivery and
long-lasting, all-day fun.

Traxxas
Power Cell Battery Included!
Slash includes a genuine Power Cell
Battery Pack to make sure you experience all the performance that's been
engineered into your Traxxas model. Power Cell packs are optimized for
free-flowing power and maximum punch with premium quality, low-resistance cells;
flexible, silicone-jacketed 12-gauge wire; heavy-duty welded tabs; and Traxxas'
high-output, gold plated, high-current connectors. Seven cells give Slash 8.4
volts of motivation for maximum speed, and precision assembly with attractive,
individually wrapped cells and clear overwrap complete the Traxxas Power Cell
package.
Traxxas
High-Current Connectors
The XL-5
electronic speed control comes equipped with the revolutionaryTraxxas
High-Current Connectors. Designed to handle high-current applications, Traxxas
Connectors effortlessly funnel the battery's total power to the electronics
keeping things running cool and at full capacity.
Titan 12-Turn
550 Modified Motor
The Slash includes a powerful Titan
12T 550 modified motor with internal cooling fan. The Titan's
over-sized armature (30% larger compared to 540-sized armatures) is equipped
with 12-turns of pure copper wire for big torque and increased power-handling
capabilities. Lower running temperatures are achieved with the integrated
cooling fan. The Titan 12T requires very little maintenance and is designed for
consistent torque and high speeds from run to run, without fading.
Beyond the specs, the Titan 12T is made for dirt-roosting torque,
lightning-quick acceleration, big-air jumps, and just about any other 4-wheel
fun that demands real horsepower. Be sure to check out the videos to see it in
action!
Digital
High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo
A race truck needs a powerful
steering servo for responsive performance. The waterproof
steering servo (#2075) uses O-ring seals to keep the fun going
when things get wet. The Traxxas digital high-torque servo provides precise
steering authority and speed for wheel-to-wheel racing in the back yard or on
the track.
Sealed
Watertight Receiver Box
A ground-breaking sealed receiver box is
another Traxxas innovation that puts the Traxxas Slash in a league of its own.
The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a special water-tight seal. A
custom blue O-ring seals the receiver box to protect the receiver from water.
The receiver can be removed for service and aftermarket receivers can be
installed without losing the sealing properties of the box. An aluminum antenna
crimp nut looks good and holds the antenna tube securely in place. Patent
pending.
Securely
Mounted Electronics
The ESC, receiver, and steering servo are screwed
to the chassis for ultimate mounting security. There's no servo tape to loosen
over time from dirt, heat, water, and collisions.
Long-Wheelbase
Chassis
Designed from the ground up, the Slash chassis features a
13.2" wheelbase while offering over 3.5 inches inches of ground clearance. The
chassis includes drain holes and a battery tray channel for routing servo wires
to the receiver. Optional electronic speed control mounting bosses are
incorporated into the chassis, making it easy to upgrade to the Extreme Power of
the Velineon
Brushless Power System. For race track competition, a transponder mount is
located under the front shock tower when every second counts.
Multi-Terrain Tires & Color-Matched Wheels
Realistic looks,
realistic performance. The Dakar Slash’s tires feature a unique multi-terrain
tread pattern that lets you tear up the track and trail, then transition to
asphalt and concrete with excellent grip in the dirt and just the right amount
of slide on pavement. The tires are securely mounted on impressive 2.2" wheels
with tough five-spoke styling and eye-catching, color-matched beadlock detail.
Adjustable
Steel Turnbuckles
Factory fitted, heavy-duty steel turnbuckles allow
camber and toe tuning. The 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.
Metal
Gear Magnum 272 Transmission
The Slash's Magnum 272 transmission is
assembled with all metal gear internals riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball
bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power is delivered to the
rear wheels via durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts for maximum efficiency
and articulation. The bulletproof Torque-Control slipper clutch and metal gear
Magnum transmission are ready to handle any power system upgrade including the
Extreme Power of the Velineon
Brushless Power System.
Steel-Composite
Planetary Gear Differential
The composite Traxxas planetary gear
differential now features a steel ring gear with 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.
Revo-spec
Torque-Control Slipper Clutch
Advanced Revo technology is utilized to
manage the massive power from the Titan 12T motor. 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
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.
Included Optional Pinion Gear
The Slash reaches its blistering
30+mph top speed on-road using the optional 23-tooth pinion gear (included) and
a 7-cell 8.4V battery pack (sold separately). Out of the box, the installed
19-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on- or off-road action.
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.
Heavy-Duty
Hub Carriers & Steering Blocks
The Slash features heavy-duty ball
bearing front steering blocks and rear hub carriers. They utilize large 5x11mm
ball bearings for long-term precision performance, smooth operation, and
increased durability.
Rubber-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
The 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
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 the Slash apart from the pack.
Bellcrank Steering
High-performance bellcrank steering system
minimizes bump steer to increase cornering stability.
Race
Replica ProGraphixPainted Bodies
No need for a paint or sticker
session; Slash rolls out of the box ready for action with a factory-finished and
mounted ProGraphix body and decals already applied for you, so its
Ready-to-Race. Traxxas Robby Gordon Dakar Slash bodies are available in orange
