TRX® 3.3 Racing Engine
No other engine combines power, reliability and convenience as well as the
TRX 3.3 Racing Engine. This high-performance powerplant features a precision
composite slide carburetor for easy tuning and crisp throttle response,
PowerTune™ blue-anodized cooling head, dyno-proven IPS crankshaft and
multi-port rear exhaust. The TRX 3.3 engine is also equipped with Traxxas’
exclusive EZ-Start® electric starting system that makes bringing the Slayer
as easy as pushing a button.
EZ-Start®
Electric Starting
With EZ-Start, there’s no need for starter cords, glow starters or their
hassles. Instead, all you have to do is insert the EZ-Start into the starter
port and push the start button. It only takes one hand! The Traxxas EZ-Start
lights the glow plug and starts the engine in seconds, and exclusive Smart
Start™ technology monitors critical starting functions, automatically
sensing and diagnosing potential problems for troublefree engine starting
every time. LEDs provide realtime status, even alerting you when a glow plug
has failed.
Mirror-Polish
Resonator
Dual-Chamber Aluminum Pipe
Nitro engines rely on properly shaped exhaust pipes for maximum power and
efficiency. The Slayer’s Resonator™ pipe was shaped with data collected from
hours of dyno testing. The dual-chamber design is precisely tuned for
low-rpm torque to get the Slayer off the line quickly, and a big horsepower
hit on the top end for screaming speed. A mirror-polish finish looks extra
stylish, but it’s more than beautiful—it’s also easier to keep clean.
GTR
Aluminum Shocks
High performance off-road racing demands the most from shock absorbers, so
Slayer is equipped with aluminum shock bodies to resist heating and
deformation no matter how hard the suspension is pumping. Threaded collars
allow ride height to be adjusted quickly and easily, without tools.
Extra-long
Suspension Travel
Slayer’s inboard shock system provides the most bump-eating suspension
travel possible, as well as greater adjustability. Tunable progressive
damping rates and independent ride height adjustment can be set quickly and
easily.
Nearly
3-Inches of
Gound-Clearance
Slayer rolls over rough terrain with 2.95 inches of daylight between the
chassis and the ground, giving you the confidence to tackle the toughest
terrain.
Short-Course
Racing
Style Tires and Wheels
Slayer rolls out on authentic wheels and tires that perform as well as they
look. The multi-surface tread pattern grips tenaciously on the street and
roosts hard in the dirt, all while looking stylish on satin-finish wheels. A
unique dual-diameter rim design allows for realistic sidewall proportions
without compromising suspension clearance and articulation, and
performance-tuned inserts help the soft-compound tires resist cornering and
acceleration loads, allowing you to jump, bash, and powerslide at will.
Large
High-Volume Dual-Stage Air Filter
The Slayer’s high-output TRX 3.3 engine breathes clean air through a new,
larger air filter. The dual-stage design traps large particles in the outer
element, while the inner element flows clean air to the engine. The new,
larger diameter foam elements allow greater airflow, and more air means more
horsepower.
150cc
Fuel Tank
More fuel means more drive time between refills, and with 150cc on board,
Slayer stretches every run. A pull handle makes it easy to yank the tank
open for fast filling, and the tank is specially designed to maintain
consistent fuel flow no matter how rough the driving conditions. A lowered
sump keeps the fuel pickup submerged, and baffles prevent fuel from sloshing
out of the sump.
Compact
Receiver and Battery
Box with Integrated Personal
Transponder Mount
The compact radio box accepts 4 AA alkaline batteries or a 5-cell flat
rechargeable receiver pack (sold separately). The on/off switch is built in,
and a blue-anodized crimp nut holds the antenna tube tightly so rollovers
won’t yank it out. Ready to race your Slayer? A transponder mount is
integrated right into the receiver box.
Digital
High-Torque Steering Servo
Slayer steers with precision and authority thanks to its digital high-torque
servo. With 125 oz.-in. of torque, the 2070 servo has up to three times the
power of many other RTR vehicles’ servos, with the precision centering and
fine control only a digital servo can offer. And it’s fast, too; transit
time is just 0.16 second, giving the Slayer instant response to your
commands.
Four
Channel Micro Receiver
Traxxas’ new 4-channel micro receiver provides reliable reception and saves
weight. It’s protected from the elements by Slayer’s enclosed radio box.
Titanium-Anodized
3D
Semi-Monocoque Chassis
Slayer’s uniquely sculptured chassis is made from a single sheet of
T6-hardened 6061 aluminum and anodized with a durable titanium-tone finish.
First seen on the ground-breaking Revo, the innovative design’s integrated
engine cradle and deep central channel give the Slayer incredible strength
while reducing weight.
Chassis
Nerf Bars
Real door-to-door racing is possible with Slayer thanks to these chassis
nerf bars that let trucks rub together without tangling wheels and causing a
crash. The nerf bars also support the body to prevent “parachuting” over
jumps. Full-size short-course racing trucks often shed body panels during a
race, but Slayer’s shell will stay put.
Realistic
& Functional
Front and Rear Bumpers
More than mere styling pieces, Slayer’s tube-style front and rear bumpers
provide crash protection while adding to the truck’s realistic looks. The
bumpers are designed to flex and spring back from impacts to protect the
chassis and body.
Auto-Shifting
Two-Speed Transmission
It takes more than a powerful engine to give a truck eyeball-flattening
acceleration and high top speed; gearing is critical. Slayer features custom
transmission ratios specifically tailored to suit the short-course racing
style wheels and tires, and a quick-shifting two-speed transmission for a
fast blast off the line and all the full-throttle speed you can handle. The
transmission’s shift point is fully adjustable so you can set it to engage
second gear as early or late as you like.
Torque-Control™
Slipper Clutch
Dirt-spraying, wheel-spinning launches are a blast, but when you want more
controlled power delivery, a slipper clutch is the feature you need. Instead
of spinning the tires, the slipper clutch literally slips to absorb excess
power until there’s enough traction to put it down on the ground. The
Slayer’s Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction
material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and
provide consistent traction control. Gearing can be changed without altering
the slipper adjustment, and a center ball bearing maintains precise,
long-lasting alignment with near friction-free running and virtually zero
maintenance.
Large
Diameter Disc Brake
With more than 45mph on tap, Slayer demands the best brakes. Traxxas
delivers with a big 42mm steel rotor and semi-metallic brake pads that
provide four-wheel braking with fine control, whether you need to scrub just
a little speed to sneak under another racer in a corner, or a big grab of
whoa-power at the end of a parking lot speed run.
Sealed
Limited-Slip Differentials
Slayer’s high-tech differentials are designed to handle the intense power of
the TRX 3.3 engine with adjustable limited-slip action. The differentials
are precision sealed with Traxxas X-ring seals to hold silicone fluid inside.
The silicone lube constantly flows back into the gear teeth to provide
resistance to power-robbing “unloading” that often affects grease-lubed
differentials. By changing the viscosity of the fluid, the amount of
limited-slip action can be changed. In short, Slayer’s silicone-filled diffs
give you better traction, handling and control.
Super-Duty
Driveshafts
It takes a strong drivetrain to channel TRX 3.3 power to the wheels.
Slayer’s oversized, true-curvilinear telescoping driveshafts permit
universal joints to be fitted on both ends of the driveshafts. Universal
joints operate with greater efficiency and less wear than conventional
dogbone designs, and also permit greater suspension travel without
compromising power delivery. Smooth-turning and virtually maintenance free,
Slayer’s Super Duty driveshafts are a perfect match for its high power and
off-road mission.
Sealed
Pivot Ball Suspension
A Traxxas hallmark since the debut of the Revo, Slayer’s exclusive
rubber-sealed pivot-ball suspension is impervious to contamination from dirt
and debris and more easily adjustable than conventional designs. Flexible
rubber bellows seal the suspension pivots without hindering operation, and
rubber-sealed bearings minimize friction while warding off contamination.
Tight-Handling
Progressive-2 Rockers
Conventional stand-up shocks can’t provide the multi-rate performance of
Slayer’s rocker-actuated shocks. Unlike standard designs that offer the same
amount of spring rate no matter where the suspension is in its travel range,
Slayer’s Revo-derived design steadily increases spring rate and damping
force as the suspension is compressed, keeping you in control. In addition
to these benefits, the shocks are rigidly mounted to the chassis, protected
from dirt, rocks, and crash damage.
ProGraphix®
Painted Bodies
No need for a paint or sticker session; Slayer rolls out of the box ready
for action with a factory-finished and mounted ProGraphix body and decals
already applied for you, so its Ready-to-Race®. Traxxas Slayer Prographix
bodies are available in red and blue themes as well as two race replica
versions: Scott Douglas/Mike Oberg Edition (Amsoil®) & Rick Huseman Edition
(Fabtech®).
Rubber-Sealed
Ball Bearings
Slayer is built for extreme offroad use, so only the best rubber-sealed
bearings will do. Traxxas’ precision ball-bearings resist dirt and dust to
deliver lasting low-friction performance, run after run.
Hex
Hardware
Professional-grade hex hardware is used throughout for maximum durability
and convenient maintenance. A black-oxide coating resists corrosion and
gives Slayer an all-business look.
TQ™
Radio System
Traxxas’ proven radio system keeps you in complete control with a high-power
signal for excellent range! Well balanced and ergonomically designed for
comfort, the TQ transmitter features servo reversing, electronic trim
adjustment, an LED low-battery indicator and fully proportional, digital
control for total command of steering, brake and throttle.
