Slash series is an off-road short course truck from Traxxas, including Slash 2wd, Slash 4×4, 4×4 VXL, etc. They have a 1/10th scale and 1/16th scale version.
As a very popular vehicle type in RC, you may find Traxxas slash all over the world. The power of the Traxxas slash is an issue. Traxxas slash original batteries are really expensive and generally cost a fortune to buy one. So many people tend to want to upgrade the battery.

Gens ace is a good brand in RC, about for ten years, which is worth your trust. The price of Gens ace batteries is almost half of Traxxas lipo. But the shortcoming of it is don’t have the Trx plug, you need to buy new solder it, or buy the adapter. But this battery is really great for Traxxas slash and is one of the popular Gens ace batteries.

Venom is also a good brand, this 5000mah 3s can fit Traxxas slashes, it has uni plugs that can fit most common plugs such as compatible XT60 plugs, Traxxas® plugs, Deans plugs and EC3 plugs. Although it is more expensive than the above two, it is also a good choice in general.
