Short Course Off-Road Race Truck

Scott Douglas began his racing career when he and brother Steve purchased an old
Ford F-150 race truck off a used car lot in 1980. The Douglas brothers entered it in
the Baja 500 and not only nished, but posted a fth-place nish in Class 8.
In 1990, Walker Evans tapped Scott to pilot a factory-backed Jeep® Cherokee.
The result was a class championship. Scott then moved to a Dodge® factory ride
and won championships in the SCORE, HDRA, and BITD series. In the mid-1990s,
Scott was a dominant force in the Short-Course Off-Road Drivers Association
(SODA) series. He moved to Pro 4WD in 1996, winning the championship
for Rampage Racing. He repeated the feat in 1997 and also won the
BorgWarner® Cup. In 2006, Scott teamed up with Pro Fab Motorsports
and AMSOIL® to win another Borg Warner Cup. 2007 saw numerous wins
and a second-place nish overall for the season in Pro 4WD. In 2008, Scott
Douglas and Bill Smith of Pro Fab designed and built a new F-150 tuned by
chief mechanic Jason Schampers. Scott quickly turned the new truck into a
competitive force on the track propelling
him into the top 3 in the 2008
point standings.
Mike Oberg kicked off his off-road racing career in 1993 behind the wheel of a used
buggy, but he soon built a stock truck and ran both classes—sometimes jumping
out of the buggy at the nish line to suit up in the truck back at the start! By 1997,
Mike was racing his truck full-time and took the Short-course Off-road Drivers
Association (SODA) Stock Truck championship, winning ve of the eight races
in the series. 1998 saw Mike win the Sportsman Stock Truck crown, and in 2001,
Mike earned the Sportsman 2WD championship title. For the 2002 season,
Mike partnered with Amsoil® to run in the Sportsman 2WD class and made the move
to Pro 2WD in 2006 with a brand new truck. The team worked hard to bring
the new machine up to speed, and Mike moved up steadily in points to
nish second, just two points behind rst place. But Mike’s
biggest win was yet to come — a rousing last-lap, come-
from-behind victory in the Jason Baldwin Memorial
Race. In 2007, Mike nished second in the WSORR
series and added a full championship racing schedule
in 2008. With over 40 wins in ve classes and four
championship rings in four different classes at the
legendary Crandon International Off-Road Raceway,
you can count on seeing many more wins from
Mike Oberg.

Short-Course Racing Action
Power. Precision. Performance. That’s what it takes to win in short-course racing, where heavy-
metal 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 short-
course racing in 1/16 scale. At the track or in your own backyard, the 1/16 Slash 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.
The engineering innovation and manufacturing precision that goes into Traxxas’ largest models
also drives the 1/16 Slash 4WD. There’s simply nothing else like it. Power. Precision. Performance.
The 1/16 Slash 4WD delivers all three.
Incredible Revo-Spec Suspension
Provides Unheard of Suspension Travel
and Precision Tuned Performance
in a 1/16 Scale Truck.
Sealed Waterproof Electronics
Fun in Water, Snow,
and Mud
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.
Innovative linkage based suspension
geometry multiplies suspension travel and
increases spring and damping rates as the
shocks are compressed for instant small-
bump compliance without compromising
shock-absorbing performance for big hits.
Slash 4WD’s super-smooth oil-lled shocks
damp the suspension and maintain control
no matter how rugged the terrain. They
are fully tuneable and include pressure
bladders for air/oil separation and threaded
spring pre-load collars for quick ride height
adjustments.
