to straighten it out on the controller there should be some knobs on the side with the steering wheel.
One will be labeled ST trim (or something like that, its been awhile since I looked at a traxxas controller) turn it till it straightens out. It sometimes takes a teeny bit of playing with it to get the steering straight on RC's

Don't have aa slash of my own but the pulling to the rightnis because on your remote it should say steering trim. That's the knob to adjust whether it goes straight or pulls left or right. But on my xl-5 resyler I did no maintenance at all and it runs great ( that was like 3 or 4 years ago) I don't know about the new slashes

Cool and Welcome to the forums. Adjust the trim while driving in a straight line about 10mph in an open area. This should fix your problem and if it doesn't, then call Traxxas. Hope you have fun with that Slash!
