The PRIMARY RULE of Slash Racing

If the rules do not SPECIFICALLY STATE an action or modification IS allowed, then it is NOT allowed.

SLASH SPEC RULES

Out of the box and onto the racetrack! That’s what Slash Spec is all about. All the truks must be equipped with the stock Titan 550 motor and XL-5 speed control, and batteries are limited to 7-cell NiMH or 2S LiPo, so it’s driving skill that gets you to the winner’s circle—not expensive performance upgrades. Slash Spec is the ideal class for new racers, but drivers of all skill levels enjoy the close competition.
