From the Parkflyers RC workbench

Marc's Take

More than a new power system: the four-wheel-drive refresh is the interesting part.

The Slash 4X4 is one of the models linked from my VX3 lineup review. I liked how Traxxas developed the power delivery, cooling, suspension and driveline together across the new four-wheel-drive range.

Power with supporting changes. The revised motor and speed control were only part of the story; the factory cooling package was a welcome improvement too.
A more sophisticated chassis package. The review highlights the four-wheel-drive range's center differential, higher-volume threaded shocks and stronger outer driveline.
Drive the package first. My message was to appreciate the improved factory starting point before deciding which optional upgrades suit your use.

My take: a good refresh should make the whole truck feel more complete. That is what impressed me about the VX3 range.

Based on the 2026 VX3 lineup overview, which covers several models and some modified customer trucks. Use this Slash 4X4 listing for the exact included components and battery requirements.
