Traxxas Slash VXL 1/16th Scale

Traxxas Slash VXL 1/16th Scale

Traxxas have finally put a date on the long awaited release of the Slayer VXL 1/16th Scale truck. Available now from Amazon HERE

What does Traxxas say about the new Traxxas Slash 1/16th Slayer?

Traxxas Slash set the standard short-course power, performance and versatility. Now you can experience the fun of wheel-to-wheel Slash racing 1/16 scale—with Velineon brushless power and 4WD! At 14 inches long, the new 1/16 Slash VXL 4WD is about half the size of the original Slash. But don’t call it a “mini”—this is a whole new category of R/C performance and fun that no mere mini-model can match. Short-course styling that captures the attitude of the full-size Traxxas TORC-series racer is just the beginning. Beneath the factory-finished polycarbonate shell, you’ll find the winning suspension technology of the seven-time National Champion Traxxas Revo®, screaming Velineon® brushless-motor power, and the convention-busting innovation of the E-Revo.

Below is a size comparison between the original Traxxas Slayer and the new 1/16th scale Slayer.
