Recognizing this, the developers at Traxxas equipped the Drag Slash with their Magnum 272R transmission. The brushless Velineon motor gives the C10 plenty of power, but without a competent driveline, all the power would be wasted. TSM also improves braking performance and helps prevent dreaded spinouts. TSM’s Drag Race Mode makes your racer easier to control by combining the fastest possible straight-line acceleration with incredible stability and precise control. Forget errant runs where your vehicle torque steers to one side or the other. ![]() The Drag Slash is specifically developed for the job of drag racing and part of its long list of drag specific features include Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) with Drag Race Mode. If you’ve ever driven a drag car, you’ll know that keeping it running straight and stable is a big part of winning, losing or even crashing. When the light turns green, release the switch for the quickest launch every time. To use it, simply hold the TQi transmitter’s Trans Brake Switch and set the throttle at the starting line. Trans Brake is a feature that allows you to launch off the line quickly and consistently. Drivers control the C10 using an included Traxxas TQi 3-channel 2.4GHz radio system that comes with a Trans Brake feature. Thanks to the factory installed Velineon VXL-3s speed control and 3500kV brushless motor, the drag C10 comes out of the box ready to rocket down the dragstrip, or at an impromptu parking lot track. The chassis aggressively hugs the track and features an aero stance that allows its body to slice through the air, yet maintains plenty of downforce to keep the car on the track. A low center of gravity improves stability and handling, which is especially important when you are maintaining straight-line performance. Those who are familiar with the Slash will recognize that the Drag Slash is outfitted with the low-center of gravity (low-CG) version chassis of the popular platform. The Drag Slash Chevy C10 comes as a ready to run kit that only requires batteries and a charger to race. Let’s take a look at what’s under the body of the latest iteration of the Slash. Its drag race specific bodylines give the truck a tough, yet dartingly quick look. ![]() The debut model of the Drag Slash comes in the beautiful guise of a classic Chevrolet C10 pick-up truck. Understanding this, Traxxas has developed an out of the box, ready to drag, version of the Slash that they aptly call the Drag Slash. Turning a short-course truck into high-speed drag racer may sound strange to the uninitiated, but it has long been the choice of drivers when it comes to modifying a car to blitz off the starting line in the blink of an eye. It’s also no secret that many racers base their dragster builds on Traxxas’ venerable Slash chassis. The drag movement has seen a strong resurgence over the past few years and it’s safe to say that this genre of the hobby is boldly headed mainstream. It’s no secret that no-prep drag racing has been a budding staple of asphalt-bound RC racers for quite some time now.
