Traxxas No Prep RTR Drag Slash First look and Launch

[@andrewsumner5388]

The full throttle reverse was pretty cool! Damn that thing rips. Pretty cool.

[@RBRC1]

Great video! Check the wheelie bar to make sure both wheels are same distance to the ground. My drag slash was drifting and after making serval adjustments I found the wheelie bar was "tweaked" to one side. Once I fixed that it launches straight every time.

[@brianprice2240]

thats what the foam rubber is for you seem like a cool guy

[@andrewsumner5388]

Earl called it a trans brake. All good bro. Just picked up my losi I freakin luv it.

[@rcguygarage]

Early on he called it a two step and i believe after the infraction line lock decided on trans brake

[@jerett1264]

I like this dude... Really cool and down to earth...

[@stevewest7260]

The no tail lights in the back is probably Traxxas way of getting more money out of people, when the come out with a light kit.

I have the same truck but you have to put the wheelie bar on the second Hole so it won’t wheelie like that

Whaaaaaaaat!? You got a drag slash! Awesome!!!

[@rcguygarage]

😉SNEAKY

[@RcDelinquents]

You can actually shut off the gyro by removing the rubber plug on the receiver box and pushing the button once. That puts it in drag mode and the receiver will blink red. You will have to show your race master that and they should not have an issue with it, nor should you have to replace your receiver. (as long as this is box stock class).

[@TravelingStacker]

Most sanctioned tracks that I've raced at in the past year will allow that. Disabled or not, it isn't allowed on the car.

[@doubleaaaron]

Rcguy, it's bad luck to open the box backwards! Lol these drag cars are sweet. I like that traxxas went with the c10 truck just to be different.

New to the whole drag scene, looking to get a Drag Slash, have owned a few normal slashes and like the bang for the buck. Prices out building one and not even close. Question for you why use those batteries over a Traxxas one?

[@rcguygarage]

For me I have a hard time being LOCKED into specific stuff. Would rather choose my own.

[@JPRC_CRAZINESS]

I would lower the wheelie bar so the front end doesn’t raise so much or bigger wheels on the wheelie bar

I like the body but other than that it's just a LCG slash with street tires lol. I ordered one just to have it but I'll prob honestly never race it. Lol... Now I may pull and use the esc and transmitter and receiver ect and put it into my project Granite lol

[@New2Kendo]

Trans Brake, 2 Step basically the same, they are different but in RC its the same

[@VikingDudee]

Its cool, im not going to lie, but I could deal without the licensing tires and body for a cheaper price, or a Drag slash without the VXL stuff and use my own electronics, other wise I think $500 is a bit on the steep side.

[@ReadySetRC]

You alright Guy? Going through the manual🤣 Some good pulls👍👍 Looks like Traxxas has a winner on their hands.

Drag brake - the red switch

[@trickmustang1994]

It seems like your left rear tire is getting more traction which is pulling the truck right.

[@rcguygarage]

Yes completely. This was just OTB no adjustments where is it at. It does launch nice though. Did MANY off camera tests after as why the cuts at the end are odd.

I know turbo cars on the two-step can sound very similar but your intro sound, sounded exactly like Cleetus McFarland's "Ruby" Which is a red C5 Corvette with a big single turbo. Did you happen to get that sound by any chance? I have custom firmware for my radio link RC6GS V2 radio that allows me to have a transbrake/2-step whatever you want to call it. Using the thumb button I can do exactly like the Traxxas remote does.

Separate

[@kcmullins6179]

Wish the wheels where aluminum they would have been so nice being metal instead of plastic.. they look good regardless but still for that price they should have gave us metal wheels and a completely new designed truck... The slash 2wd isn't that great to begin with.. most 2wd honestly isn't that good anyway unless your always on road which obviously this will be a on road truck. but I would have liked to see this built diff.. with a roll cage a new chassis style ect... But this thing has potential though it's a neat little truck.. I wish the body had a more scale look to it like the Vaterra RC C10 body they use on their on road truck and their trail truck. Vaterra puts a lil more work into their RTR bodies then anyone else I believe. The Vaterra C10 body is a sexy body lol I put my VETTARA RC 1973 C10 body on my project Granite and it looks amazing lol
