XL5 what? The motor-setup? If so, it will work, yes. Install it and drive it like you stole it.

Yes it will work, but more than likely not very long as the slash 4X4 is a pretty damn heavy vehicle that taxes most 1/10th electronics. I'd actually give it 1-2 minutes before it would go POOF, and let out the magic smoke that makes ESC's move.
I had to install 1/8th brushless in mine to keep the motor from overheating(and made it a pede 4X4 while I was at it ) as the 1/10th scale BL setup was ready to thermal after a few minutes

xl-5 esc wont work with the stock vxl motor.

the xl-5 esc and motor will work, but as syco said...not for long. I think the esc will be ok, but the motor will burn up.

The only kind of brushed setup that would work would be a evx2 with a 775 motor....but then a 775 motor wont fit in the slash 4x4.
