Traxxas R/C Models - New Slayer - Race Action

Available July 31, 2008

Traxxas Slayer Pro 4WD Short Course Race Truck

Only Slayer puts you behind the wheel of an authentic short-course racing truck with the award-winning power and performance of Traxxas TRX 3.3 racing engine. With a power-to-weight ratio that rivals the full-size 800+ horsepower Pro 4 racing trucks that compete in CORR (Championship Off Road Racing) events, Slayer brings the excitement of short-course racing to your backyard, local track or favorite R/C hot spot. Fully assembled and Ready-To-Race, Slayer delivers the raw sound of nitro burning horsepower and the fierce intensity of wheel-to-wheel competition. It's the ultimate in realism in off-road racing.

Suspension & Chassis Innovation
From The Award-Winning Revo

Six consecutive national championships has proven the superior design of the Revo-Spec rocker-actuated suspension system that mirrors the huge travel and plush damping of the full-size Pro 4 short course race trucks. Full-time 4-Wheel-Drive delivers track-gripping traction for hard hitting acceleration through the turns and precise control that lets you thread the needle through the traffic. The patent-pending suspension has greater travel than typical nitro buggies and trucks, and can soak up big hits that would sideline other trucks. The suspension action is light and supple over small bumps, but when bigger jolts compress the suspension farther, the progressive rocker geometry instantly increases spring and damping rates to absorb the impact. And it's fully adjustable; ride height, progressive rate, and damping can all be fine tuned independently. This no-compromise setup is simply not possible with conventional suspension designs.

Slayer is built on the 3D semi-monocoque chassis originally developed for the Revo. Formed from 3mm 6061 aluminum, the chassis is titanium-anodized and T6 hardened for strength. The integrated battery box accepts 4 AA cells or a 5-cell rechargeable receiver pack (sold separately). The ultra compact throttle servo mount ties rigidly into the chassis and supports the air filter, and the low-profile receiver box protects our latest 2216 4-channel micro receiver. A blue-anodized crimp nut locks the antenna tube in place, so it stays put no matter how rough the racing gets, and an integrated roll hoop/carrying handle spares the TRX 3.3 engine from rollover abuse.

Pro 4 racing demands maximum horsepower to turn up the heat on the race track. Slayer punches hard with massive TRX 3.3 power. With its huge, wide powerband, bury the throttle at anytime to send all four tires into a raging fury of roosting dirt. The championship-winning TRX 3.3 Racing Engine drives a low-mass 2-speed transmission for amazing acceleration and top speed. The transmission is forward-only, eliminating the extra components and weight of reverse for quick-revving performance—top speeds can exceed 45mph out of the box and 50+ with an optional clutch bell, with tire-shredding acceleration off the line. The 150cc fuel tank developed for the Revo Platinum Edition delivers extra run time between fill ups for hours of driving fun, and a high-flow dual-stage air filter and Resonator mirror-polish aluminum tuned pipe keep the TRX 3.3 engine breathing clean and running its best. The TRX 3.3 engine is an investment in performance for years to come, fully protected by the exclusive Traxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan.

Authentic Pro 4 Looks

With three full-size trucks in CORR competition, Traxxas knows how an R/C CORR racer should look and handle. Slayer's full-fendered bodywork captures the look of Mike Jenkins 47 Pro 4 race machine, and the satin-finish wheels have a bead-lock look just like the real deal. For a track-ready look that performs, Traxxas' engineers developed a multi-terrain tread design and specially formulated rubber compound to give Slayer the perfect balance of forward traction and slip-angle in turns. R/C racing has never been so real.

[mafiahalo93]

if u want the frames to bend like that then lose up the spring and electric is better reason why... nitro money for gas and it brake down faster so more money for new parts... electric only thing is clean it once in awhile and recharge the battery and check the oil in the spring that it

Imagine having a GoPro HD camera, stream the signal (some magical way) to a HD TV, and have a Playseat w/buttkicker along with a nice surround sound system AND last but not least a G27 steering wheel. Now I'd call that "worth it". lol
