Power. Precision. Performance. That’s what it takes to win in short-course racing, where heavymetal machines with 900+ horsepower and giant suspension travel do battle with dirt-roosting
power slides, Supercross-style big-air jumps, and more than a little contact in the corners. Traxxas
knows: we race full-size Pro4WD short-course trucks, and now you can experience the thrill of shortcourse racing in 1/16 scale. At the track or in your own backyard, the 1/16 Slash VXL 4WD brings all
the action home so you can experience the high-speed, head-to-head competition. Rip over jumps,
power-slide through turns, bump-and-run to the nish line — the 4-wheel independent suspension
has been carefully tuned to replicate the Pro4WD driving and handling experience , and the
Velineon® brushless motor system gives Slash VXL 4WD dirt-slinging horsepower to rival the “real
thing.” The engineering innovation and manufacturing precision that goes into Traxxas’ largest
models also drives the 1/16 Slash VXL 4WD. There’s simply nothing else like it. Power. Precision.
Performance. The 1/16 Slash VXL 4WD delivers all three.

Suspension
The unique Revo®-Spec suspension geometry
multiplies the suspension travel to lengths
normally found on larger models. It provides
true progressive rate performance that’s light
over the small bumps and instantly tightens
when compressed to resist bottoming out
over large jumps.

Rick Huseman
Edition
Many top drivers got their start with go-karts or mini bikes, but Rick Huseman’s rst
racing rides were even smaller; he got started with radio-control cars! Even though
Rick wasn’t actually inside the 1/10 scale 2WD and 4WD machines, he learned the
essentials of off-road driving while “behind the wheel” of his R/C cars. When Rick and
brother Danny saw their rst SODA (Short-Course Off-road Drivers Association) race
in 1996, they hatched a plan to put together a race truck of their own, and got their
Ford® Ranger together just in time for the last race of the 1996 season. Rick honed his
technique racing local events in Mexico and southern California, posting over 20 wins
in the process. In 2000, Rick Huseman Racing took their rst step in becoming a fulltime pro race team and built a truck for championship off-road competition.
"R/C Racing prepared me to compete
in Short-Course Off-Road Racing"
Rick nished ninth overall for the season, then surged in 2001, battling veteran champ
Jeff Kincaid all season long to nish second, just 7 points behind Kincaid. Through
2004, Rick charged his Fabtech® truck to second place nishes in the series points
championships, even as the number of teams vying for the top spot grew each year.
2005 marked a new era for Rick Huseman Racing as Fabtech founder and CEO Dave
Winner moved the team into the elite Pro 4WD ranks with impressive results. Rick took
the podium twice and nished seventh overall in his rookie season. With 19 wins, four
Pro 4WD wins, and a total of 43 trips to the top step of the podium in his racing career,
Rick Huseman is a dominant force in Short-Course Off-Road Racing.
