Valentino Rossi is best known for his 2-wheeled exploits, but as is so often the case with world-class racers, he’s also a force behind the wheel of a rally car with six Monza wins. Now he’s officially a Traxxas driver, and that means “replica models”! As you can see below, Traxxas has the brushed Slash 4X4 with the Rossi livery, as well as a LaTrax version in 1/18 scale. Good-looking cars, follow the links for more info.
From Traxxas:
Valentino Rossi, known to his fans as “The Doctor,” is recognized around the world as one of the greatest MotoGP
racers in history with nine Grand Prix World Championships under his belt. Already a maestro on two wheels, Rossi is equally accomplished in rally car racing.
In 2017 Rossi made history with his record-breaking 6th victory in the Monza Rally Show. Valentino and his VR46 rally car will proudly represent Traxxas as he chases a 7th win at the historic Italian track December 7-9th.
Steeped in history, the Monza race track is the most popular event on the rally calendar. Drivers from all forms of racing compete in AWD rally cars in a spectacular display of power, technique, and determination. Keep your eye on the #46 of Valentino Rossi as he chases another historic win. You can follow Valentino’s progress with updates from Traxxas on site at:
