Small Scale, Full-Throttle Fun: The Traxxas Mini Slash at The Thing Shop

When you think of short course trucks, one name stands out: Traxxas Slash. But did you know Traxxas also packs that same off-road excitement into a smaller, portable platform? Meet the Traxxas Mini Slash (1/16 scale)—a compact powerhouse that delivers high-speed performance, rugged durability, and true short-course styling. At The Thing Shop, we’re excited to bring the Mini Slash to RC fans across Atlantic Canada.

Why Choose the Traxxas Mini Slash?

The 1/16 Mini Slash might be smaller than the full-size Slash, but it’s built with the same DNA that made the original famous. It’s quick, agile, and built tough enough for backyard bashing or tight indoor tracks.

  • Compact 1/16 Scale Design – Easy to transport, store, and run anywhere.

  • Power-Packed Performance – Available in brushed or VXL brushless versions, with speeds up to 50+ mph on the brushless model.

  • 4WD Drivetrain – Full-time four-wheel drive delivers control and traction on any surface.

  • Oil-Filled Shocks & Independent Suspension – Smooth handling, whether you’re racing, jumping, or drifting.

  • Waterproof Electronics – Take it through puddles, dirt, snow, or mud without worry.

Mini Slash vs. Full-Size Slash

The full-size 1/10 Slash is legendary in the RC world, but the Mini Slash offers a more portable and affordable option. It’s perfect for hobbyists who want all the fun of short course truck racing in a smaller package. And with brushless upgrades, the Mini Slash is every bit as thrilling as its bigger brother.

Who Is the Traxxas Mini Slash For?

  • Beginners – Easy to drive, durable, and comes ready-to-race right out of the box.

  • Experienced RC Drivers – A fun, compact addition to any RC collection with plenty of speed and tuning options.

  • RC Racers – Great for setting up short course tracks in smaller spaces or running head-to-head with friends.
