- Perhaps you’ve heard about the Traxxas Drag Slash? It’s one of the most hyped releases of 2021 so far and the final unveiling just happened! With that, we got our hands on one of the first trucks to be released. This truck is a very exciting launch for the RC Drag car community. It’s based on the Traxxas Slash which many drivers have already been using as a base for their No Prep RC Drag car builds. However, like always, Traxxas has put their spin on this machine. They gear their products to be very helpful to entry-level drivers and from there, the sky’s the limit for what you can do with them. The Drag Slash is just that, a truck built to get people into RC Drag Racing with success thanks to a proven platform and some well thought out features that will make this truck easy for anyone to drive. In this video, Greg goes over all of the features of the new Drag Slash Chevrolet C10 and takes it out for a bunch of test runs under certain scenarios. Unfortunately the DTS-1 system we have was not working so we couldn't give you time in this review. But we threw a speed meter on just to give you a basic idea of what this car can do.

10" Wheelie Bar? I'll bet you say that to all the ladies. Great review Greg!
😂😂😂
Lots to like about this truck, some great features and that body is killer! 😎 And, no, you can't build this for $500, no matter what people say (you can't even buy the new diff!) BUT Losi and AE can sell you their RTRs for $100-$150 less! 😲
Exactly 💯 guys spend little less building and look no way as good
And in the case of the Losi, for $100 less you end up with a body that's every bit as good if not better and a better more stable package IMO...that even has working lights out of the box. LOL I can't speak about the DR10 as I don't have any experience with that package.
Solid review as always, bummer the timing system wasn't cooperating. I agree the truck body looks good. But that price point seems high for a 2wd drag platform, the TRX4 Defender is listed for, four cents more on Amazon when I wrote this. Speed costs money, but I don't know its two speed transmission four wheel drive with remote diff locks money.
The traxxas factory is litteeally down the road from me! Super nice folks!
I raced one Saturday night and beat it with budget esc and motor, still looks awesome.
I love the look of this body, really excited to see more drag kits come out! Thanks for a solid review as always, thanks!
That fade died out really quick😂😂😂
I built 2 Slash based cars in the past year, they both cost me way more, obviously I could have done it way cheaper, but the ultimate goal is to race, not break, and win. Would definitely like to compare performance!
Might just put these wheels tires and wheelie bar on my bandit lol
I don't have a problem with the sticker windows. I would not be putting any interior in it anyway.
Love how you took it apart and showed what’s in it thx
And now it's $299, much more appropriate for a 2wd Slash.
If you plan on racing that in the stock class, I’d be careful with those tires. Mine are already wore out and there are no OE replacements. That being said, big daddys are the closest in size I could find and they hook well
Stadium truck tires a wheels
With traxxas, the extra x stands for extra...lights, that's extra, programmability, that's extra, enough speed to run with a Losi, that's extra..plus the huge 500.00 price tag . Extra extra extra. It's too bad because it's a beautiful truck.
Pay to play , I bet the 400 build dosen't look as good
@@paulclancy2404 It actually looks better and has working lights....Losi 22s all day over this overpriced car.
The price is nuts for a basic truck, you build better and faster for same or less, like atleast give the Maxx 4s system in it, but traxxas doesn’t care about customer complaints like other companies do, they will leave it and still rob people.
Well trans but that’s all
@@codenamethecleaner7519 The maxx 4s system wouldn't work. The VXL-4s isn't rated to run 2s. It can run 2s but it isn't designed for it. 2s is the only thing you're allowed to run in no prep races. They should've came out with a new 3s power system.
@@gasolinediesel972 oh that’s true, I wasn’t thinking about no prep rules, but ya the vxl 3s system is old already and not fast enough with out cooking it.
@@codenamethecleaner7519 Yeah the competition will smoke this with that 3500kv motor. Needs a higher kv.
I would have to disagree with tracks it's not caring about people's complaints !!
BECAUSE .....
I bought the Traxxas X MAXX back about 5 months ago in December and I only had it for a couple weeks, I only took it out about three times and the battery fell out and stopped working I called the Traxxas and they told me that I would have to mail them in the battery with the receipt that I bought it you know when I boarded with date because I believe the batteries have a year warranty and I told them you know I only took it out about three times and the battery fell out and stopped working I called the Traxxas and they told me that I would have to mail them in the battery with the receipt that I bought it you know when I boarded with date because I believe the batteries have a year warranty, and I said well that's going to take about two weeks by the time I finally get a battery back that's not really fair to me I just spent all this money and the guy just sent me brand new battery all I had to do was email my picture of the battery along with the receipt
Sweet ride… Really tempted…
A piece of carpet or a mat is good for warming tyres to save wear from the burnouts on road.
He said at least once he forgot the rug.
Pretty good car especially for beginners but the only problem is the price. Itd be fair it was $350-400
Get use to prices going up
Agree
It's 350 now ..
Glad I found this site.. so tired of the nonsense 'backward hatters' goofing off.. I hope there will be less classes and more cars in each class for drags..
17 classes and 3 cars in each class really hurts off road racing.
And now it finally has a less absurd price of $400. I feel bad for the ones who decided $500 was acceptable when it clearly wasn't.
I like the sticker windows there’s no point in having windows that get dusty every time you drive it. It’s an r/c. Let’s not treat it like something it isn’t :)
$400 truck for $500 probably because of licensing fees. I see a lot of needed upgrades. Best video of 1st day passes on TH-cam TY
GUY!!! need to get yourself the SkyRC Data Analyzer 😉👍💯👊
I know I know. I thought the new DTS1 I squirreled away would work. 😭
traxxas won't give him one LOL.
It’s all about where you measure from 😂👍
Diggin the content man. Keep it up!
Looks like it needs the slipper to give a little more for 3s to soften up the launch until it gets moving.
Price is definitely up there but this is Traxxas and in the end you do get what you pay for at times.
Really cool looking vehicle. love the fat tires and old school Chevy Pickup body the trans brake is dope
Looks awesome
Looks like a a mix of the slash bandit and the rustler
I’m seeing more and more RC drag racing which is awesome but I always wonder why people are not locking the rear diff. And I know these vehicles are based off of current buggy style chassis but has anyone tried installing a solid rear axle and not independent suspension.
People do lock the rear diff. Not everyone that buys this is going to race it so a locked diff wouldn't make any sense. You can't install a solid rear axle on this. You would have to remove the transmission and rig up some stupid motor mount.
many people do. Not one person in competition is "not" locking their diff. Most use JB weld to lock the diff.
@@bansheerider619 Absolutely NOT true! Plenty of people are running diff fluid in competition AND with a slipper! The runner up at King of the Streets, in Vegas, was running a mostly stock DR10 with 500k diff fluid.
Nice review mate! Quick question though, Which do you prefer the Traxxas Drag Slash or the Losi Drag ?
Love it!!!
How would you compare the Drag Slash & the Losi 22s drag car ?
The losi is definitely better hands down
good!
I think it's pretty cool....
Matt from sbg got 60mph on 2s and harley got 61mph on 3s
Ooof, no we didn't! 3.1 at 43mph!
Just tad off nbd in drag racing 🏎 🙃
It's only riding on one wheel on a wheelie bar that's why it keeps going to the right one tire is gripping the other tire is slipping
This thing looks good but it'd way over priced. You can buy a dr10 for 299 and a castle sw4 with 3800kv to 7700kv motor selection for 149 and be 50 dollars under this in price and alot faster with way more tunability then this 2wd slash! U can take that extra 50 bucks and buy a c10 body done and done
Definitely agree 100%
but its not a traxxas, so therefore you cant compare. If you were to build this with all new traxxas parts it would cost >$700
@@bansheerider619 no its not its a better tried amd true platform then traxxas amd where did u get 700 from?
@@jeffbryner5355 I own one. A slash roller is $150, which is a new Bandit converted on a slash LCG chassis, plus add wheels, tires, servo, radio system, esc, motor, upgraded transmission, painted body, etc...It cost around $700. If another brand is cheaper thats fine but its not traxxas. Traxxas is always more expensive.
@@bansheerider619 well yesh they are and why buy a roller? Buy a complete bandit for 150. It has all the electronics its not vxl but u have the servo radio and receiver. Add a 40 dollar chassis. Wheels and tires 60 max then u can add a sw4 combo from castle 149 body is 50. The tranny u don't need. Buy a sealed diff from hot racing 40. U got a drag slash for under 500.
It’s entry level till you put the speed gear and a 3 cell lipo battery in it, let’s just say you’ll need a lot of tire glue ones they expand the way they do
Great review as normal but it's way over priced the losi is definitely way better
I watched your Losi 22s and Drag Slash back to back, I your could only get one to get into racing which would you chose ?
If you could only pick one would it be the Traxxas drag slash or the Losi 22S Drag Camero ? And why ? My opinion I would lean more toward the Drag Slash, wider slicks, trans brake. race tuned out of the box and optional speed pinion. Losi 22s didn't so much have much to offer other than a good looking car, so what's your take and it will be raced.
Just for fun it would be cool to see the $500. Slash race the $650 Arrma Infraction. 😉
i went with the green drag slash my local shop doesnt sell losi parts
$500 for a 2wd slash ? that's ridiculous.
It’s a drag what do you expect
I trying to build a custom traxxis drag car can i get that transmitter and have trans brake on the car i build?....great video
Hi, my name is Tony, I saw that on your channel you Reviewed the traxxas slash drag, and the losi 22 camaro. I'm in the market for my 1st drag car which of those 2 do you recommend me to buy
Can the tires in the front can be change as well or just leave it how it is
With the 3s did use the TSM at the end of video?
Cool truck, but you will have a lot more fun building your own.
Probably cheaper too. It's like 500 bucks or whatnot.
What does the I phone have to do with the DSR-1 system? It operates off of the program and bluetooth with the traxxas program.
The Traxxas program was designed off earlier iphone app programming and Traxxas stopped updating their app to work with it.
I got a stock 124019 on contact foams that would gap that truck. OTB !!!
You have a what??
@@edgarmarquez4830 wltoys 124019. Its like the 144001 , just longer.
@@gumboniggums3784 junk
Least its not a $500 slash with a lcg chassis. Y'all are just being taken advantage of.
Lmao 🤣
Can it change the front tires as well or should it leave it how it is
Love it
Can the front the tires be the same tired the 1 in the back or just leave it
NIIICE!!!
What is the black thing behind the truck what’s it for dose it really need it
Shit it better be ready for a old ass slash! 500 bucks is insane for a slash. I feel the Traxxas fan boys are Apple fan boys. There use to paying high prices for old technology lol
I saw another review blow out a tire during burnout ?
Tires are all good on mine. No tears, glue beads are perfect.
on 3s maybe.
I had issues with setting up the dts-1 i have also
Way too much money for what you get. I love traxxas but there's no way in hell I'd buy this at that price tag. That new transmission shouldn't bring up the price tag by $160. And before you say it, I know that it has a different chassis, body, and wheels, but none of those things should really bring up the price if you factor in the cost of the original slash parts.
That licensed Chevy body really messes things hp
Definitely would be a lot cheaper to build one!
@@joekugelman4196 it more to build
@@92camarodragcar73 not if you already have the LCG Slash laying around like I do
I'd like to see you do a review where you race all three (Traxxas drag slash, dr10, losi camaro) and show times on 2s out of the box!
Losi is the fastest out the box
@@Adee4750 spinning isn't winning. There's a test out now against the big 3. Losi couldn't go straight unless you feather the throttle a lot.
Traxxas needs to figure out just like axial. A 67 Chevy pickup has a small back window.
@16:31 where did u get the racing light?
WTH the body broke on that crash? Proline lexan bodies are nice and dont break!
why do you like clear windows ?
I'm still on the fence between losi drag Camaro and traxxas drag slash
How many passes do you usually get out of one battery?
And a metal spur gear because of the fact that my spur gear was destroyed after a day of draging it back to back
Think I want the green one...whats the part # for the tracking system? I wanna check into them...great video as always
They DTS-1 is discontinued.
Nah I’d like the purple one any day of the week lol 😂
When u move the truck like that what dose it do though
How do you do drag mode?
trans brake, what a great idea they thought of a decade ago...
Why do you push down on the top of the truck before you launch it?
To settle the suspension for a better launch 👍
Like the phone/ tablet mount on the controller, is that standard ? Enjoyed 👊🏻👍🏻
👍
When I get mine it’s getting 4s motor
How fast is it
The answer is in the video 😁
How fast it goes
I like to go fast
How come it has a untena for.
This would of been much better as a roller.Nobody wants to run that old vxl esc and motor
A build kit would be cool. Who knows what the future holds.
Is it worth getting it
Great review ! Can you give me a part number on the phone holder that attached to the transmitter? I can’t find them anywhere
I almost feel like the arma vortek would dust that thing..
I almost feel like you're wrong
🤣🤣🤣
@@gasolinediesel972 And what do you have that can possibly prove me wrong?
@@MoBay876rc 🤣🤣🤣
@@ericpeterson9676 The drag slash will do 60 on the optional gearing... The vorteks will not do 60 on it's optional gearing...
What’s the regular price on that truck
You can't use TSM when your drag racing turn it off and try it
Before you launch it get it straight . Then push down the back of the car it will go straight
Hi, greetings to my favourite US channel Sir! ls the new Magnum 272 worth installing in a standard Slash vxl 2wd? Lots of Love from a fan from Bavaria!
Hey! If your into 3s bashing and high speed driving the new Magnum 272 will be perfect for your standard slash vxl, it will be able to handle loads more power as well as draw away some heat from your motor since it uses an aluminum mounting plate. If you are only using 2s and not really bashing your car hard then the stock transmission will work!
@@ivydome Thank's a lot!
Why can’t we just makes these full size and have fast electric cars with throw away replaceable body’s and interiors that wear out! You know the rest for ever and fix it if anything breaks or wears out! Their super simple just seams like we could!
all fun and game until the voice starts to change 21:42
The Losi is better.
Those tires burn up quick on concrete, you'll ruin them fast
TSM IS NOT ALOUD. HAS TO BE TOTALLY REMOVED
For a drag car/truck I was expecting it to be alot faster..
It's not supposed to be fast Einstein. It's supposed to get good drag times. Aka good acceleration.
How fast did it go ??? How much do they cost about before TAXES ... BECAUSE MY HOBBY GUY DOESNT CHARGE ME TAX ..... I HAVE TO 4S 6700 TRAXXAS BATTERIES FROM MY X MAXX ... I CAN USE ONE OF THEM RIGHT .. ???
I REALLY LIKE THE ARMMA INFRACTION ..... BUT NOT A HUGE FAN OF ARMMA FOR CERTAIN REASON .... BUT I REALLY DONT WANNA BUY A CAR/TRUCK JUST BASED ON THE FLIMSY PLASTICK BODY COVER THAT LOOKS COOL .. LOL
BECAUSE I ALSO WANT TO GET ANITRO OR 2 STROKE CAR TOO ?????
I GOT THE X MAXX .... BUT I LIKE DRIFTING , SPINNING TIRES ..... AND GOOD HANDLING, SPEED ... IM NOT RSALLY INTO STRAIGHT DRAG STRIP RACING
😆
@@beukeboom3879 get a infraction you won't regret it
60mph out of a 2s battery is slow? WTH were you expecting?!
Too slow for the price!!
Its 500 dollars....
Wow ..... thats crazy .... after you add in the fact that it only goes 4[ mph .... the XO IS ONLY $700 AND IT GOES 100MPH , ITS NOT EVEN A 4S AND MY X MAXX IS FASTER THEN IT ........
I WAS HOPI N G IT WAS GONNA BE LIKE THE ARMMA INFRACTION ..... CAUSE I LIKE THAT TRUCK ... BUT IM A TRAXXIS GUY FOR A NUMBER OF REASON .... PRICES , PARTS AVIALBILITY AND PARTS PRICES , ECT .....
@@beukeboom3879 What are you even trying to say? This isn't a 4s truck, and it does 60 mph. This is a 3s truck.
@@gasolinediesel972 OMG " WHAT AM I EVEN SAYING " ???? LOL ... calm down there killer ... first video I seen on it and just was ASKING if it took 4s or not .... and in the guys video that shit only did 40 mph ..... I thought I saw someone say 60mph .... but w.e. I don't give a fukkk
If you build it yourself with all new traxxas parts it would cost about $700 with sales tax. Yes the power system is crap but you could sell it and get something else and still come in cheaper.
@@beukeboom3879 it will do 60 on 3s , but its designed for 132 feet fast as possible on 2s 40 in 100 ft is fast
lol, so overpriced. old tech how can traxxas justify the price?
Clear windows are horrible , who wants to see the ugliness of the wires or just the chassis period. Blacked out windows not only give it a much cleaner look
