IMEX Slingshot
1/12 Scale 4WD Brushless Desert Buggy
Balanced Performance. Real Fun.
Not everything that deserves attention gets it.
Not everything that deserves attention gets it. The IMEX Slingshot isn’t built to be loud or oversized, it’s built to feel right. Low, balanced, and predictable, it delivers real performance without needing excess power or drama. It’s the kind of vehicle you keep driving because it’s fun, not because it’s trying to impress on paper, and that’s exactly why it nearly claimed the #2 spot.
The Slingshot earns its place by doing everything the right way instead of the loud way. It’s quick without being twitchy, planted without feeling heavy, and one of the most confidence-inspiring vehicles in the lineup. The balance between speed, control, and scale detail makes it easy to overlook on paper, but impossible to ignore once you drive it. That consistency and feel are exactly why it landed here.

CONTROL
The Slingshot’s 4WD drivetrain, low center of gravity, and 2847 3800KV brushless system deliver smooth, usable power instead of sudden spikes, allowing you to drive fast with confidence rather than constantly correcting throttle or steering inputs.
CONTROL
Independent front and rear suspension paired with adjustable shocks helps the Slingshot stay settled over rough terrain. Its balanced 1/12 scale chassis absorbs bumps and maintains stability through corners, keeping the truck composed instead of skittish when the surface gets uneven.
CONTROL
Built around a proven shared platform with the Shotgun, the Slingshot uses metal differentials and an integrated 30A ESC/receiver for durability and simplicity. Interchangeable parts and included essentials mean less downtime and more time actually running.
Real Performance. No Filters.
Built with Purpose
Brushless Power System
A 2847 3800KV brushless motor delivers strong, efficient power that feels quick without becoming unpredictable. Paired with a low center of gravity, it provides smooth acceleration and consistent output that keeps the Slingshot controllable and fun across a wide range of terrain.
Splash-Resistant ESC
The integrated 30A ESC/receiver is sealed against moisture and debris for real-world running. Designed to manage power cleanly and reliably, it helps maintain predictable throttle response whether you’re cruising casually or pushing the truck harder.
Oil-Filled Shocks
Oil-filled adjustable shocks help the Slingshot stay planted over uneven terrain. They absorb bumps and landings smoothly, keeping the chassis settled and improving stability through corners and rough sections.
