Traxxas Announces Rob MacCachren Edition Slash

Desert-racing legend and Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame member Rob MacCachren has one of the longest and most storied careers in motorsports—he won his first off-road championship at just 8 years old! In his nearly 40 years of racing, Rob’s long tally of wins includes three Borg Warner Cup wins, three Governor’s Cup wins, three consecutive Pro 2WD championships (2008-2010), and ten SCORE Baja victories (five each in the Baja 500 and Baja 1000). And now, Rob’s signature Mopar/RAM Pro 2WD is the latest Traxxas Slash Race Replica model!

Fully assembled and Ready-to-Race®, the Rob MacCachren Edition Slash includes the NEW TQi 2.4GHz radio system for precision control and clarity, officially licensed BFGoodrich® Mud-Terrain™ T/A® tires mounted on race-replica SCT wheels, waterproof electronics, and legendary Traxxas Tough durability. The Mud-Terrain T/A tread design and carefully selected rubber compound provide off-road grip with the versatility to also perform well on concrete and asphalt. The fenders cover the tires for wheel-to-wheel racing without getting tangled up. Exclusive waterproof electronics provide the freedom to drive where you want to drive; through water, mud, snow, and other wet-running conditions never possible before. Slash is truly brushless ready with a waterproof digital steering servo, full ball bearings, metal gear transmission, Torque-Control™ slipper clutch, planetary gear differential, and heavy-duty metal turnbuckles.
