New Traxxas Drag Slash Review

This summer is going to be dominated by No-Prep drag races! Traxxas enters the fray with the RTD (Ready to Drag) Drag Slash! In this review, I go over all the details, and hit the scale quarter mile! I'm thoroughly impressed with the tech included to help people get started in no-prep!

I shoot all my videos on the Sony a6500 in 4K, with Sigma 16mm, 19mm & 30mm and 55-210mm f1.4 lenses and the Zhiyun Crane V2.

Hey Matt, a belted tire will help performance considerably. That being said, be careful to properly warm up the stock tires so they're reaching optimal temps (use a temp gun to ensure they are somewhere in the range of 150-degrees). That's why that last pull was so much better - the tires were warm and had probably broken in - giving more traction 👍

I went to watch some r/c drag racing in Barto PA. today. I was immediately hooked. A friend of mine suggested I get this car as a starting point. My local hobby shop dealer Enzo, told me he had some coming in. I jumped right on it! What a killer lookin’ ride!

Got the Team Associated DR10 have the losi cámaro on order and yes I'm definitely getting the Traxxas drag Slash as well...can't wait for good weather 👍

[BlindGuyRc]

Man.. I do want one of these. It is really cool. Iv loved drag racing forever really haha.
It's a tuff call on what is gaining the hype.
Drifting or drag racing.
Awesome review man.

[RUSERIOUS]

At $500 I would have expected threaded shocks. At very least rears.

[saturnfivehynrgrc]

As always good video, very informative man. Do appreciate the Traxxas coverage. Gave ya a thumbs up...

[barttaylor]

Love the no prep coverage! Very cool that three big companies are already making rtr! People getting into any kind of rc is good for all rc🤙

[tonyvarela]

You are by far the best rc dude on YouTube. I really mean it I check out all of the good ones and I think you are the best. Thanks for all the info you give us

[rcaddict]

I love how you back peddled near the curb but creamed what hopefully was a scrap lean body. Lol

[jeremymiller]

She is a looker 100% the green is sharp, I think the white one is the "clean" looking one, either way awesome looking rigs! Traxxas put thought into it for sure, honestly I have always found the traxxas owner manuals almost fun to read over, they have colorful photos. concise wording that gets ya just wanting to get out there

[CTSparky]

no prep is gaining in CT. So much so that the big store there, RC Madness built a track this winter.

[michaelfensom]

I’ll definitely be getting one when they come to Australia Matt 👌🏼

[bobsennick]

I'm vaguely interested, but I don't think I'll buy in just yet. Our local store just put in a dedicated track!

[mickd]

Great video Matt... fantastic colour.
Very appropriate hat for this vehicle..lol.
I Really like this truck..well done Traxxas
Cheers👍

[paulclancy]

Sharp, I like it even though I probably go with the losi, I do like the fit finish better on the traxxis, the tires and tubs are more proportional

[SliverRc]

I went too my local hobby shop. and man the Drag Slash looks Super Nice.

[michaelfensom]

We don’t have much of a drag seen that I know of but that won’t stop me

[truerc]

Man I miss the days when the top of line decked out Platinum 4x4 with a front diff, 3 more shafts, and a couple hundred dollars of multiple high quality upgrades (including $90 aluminum shocks) was $100 less than this 2WD.

[rcdrives]

Another good one, Matt. That's a pretty cool rig for sure.

[paulmcnamara]

No interest in no prep but that body interests me as the wheel base looks about the same size as the Rustler chassis and I am interested in a low rider build which that body would be perfect for when the clear body set is eventually released!
