This website is all about the Traxxas Slash's. The Traxxas Slash was first made in 2009 as a 1/10 scale electric short course race truck. Then Traxxas started to make modifications to the trucks. After a little while, they started to make the 1/16 scale which is smaller than the 1/10 scale. The Slash was voted the best electric truck of 2012. They started putting brushless motors in the trucks. (Brushless means that there are no brushes in the motor which means less maintenance to the motor and it will go faster. I have a brushless Slash 4x4 and it flies!!! It's not very good at off-roading but it is great everywhere else. You can go from going through a creek to the track with no problems! It is probably the best short course truck Traxxas makes. You can do many upgrades on the trucks like all aluminum parts, custom bodies, and many other things to make your truck yours!
