Slayer at the track and video

[Cynix]

Today I took my Slayer to a local track. I have one word to say about it and thats tough. This was my first time on a track and I had hardly drove my Slayer so I wasnt very used to it in the video. Man was it fun despite the video which was tooken when we just got there and I was still getting used to the truck and track I was power sliding and flying over the jumps. This was great on the track it was also the envy of every one there:D. This video is pretty bad and the big jump in the back that I never went off just drove down in the video is actually pretty easy after I got my confidence up I was jumping it. I didnt attempt this in the video but no matter what I did I could not make the double.
After two hours of driving I did sorta brake a part but I just didnt have the tool to fix it.

I've seen this a time or 7 so far. 1fasterevo said Traxxas makes some knuckles w/ steel rings that stop this from happening.

[Cynix]

I might have to look into those its kinda a pain having that happen. The video is at 60%

[Cynix]

Ok heres the video remember its not that good.

Hey Cynix are you using the easy start?

[Cynix]

Ya for now I am going to get a pull start eventually.

[JustChillin]

that jato looks pretty sick with those tires on there. get some more video up from the track....i really wanna see more of it before i buy one.

[Cynix]

Next time I go I will try and bring it and film it. The Jato was a challenge to keep in a strait line but was fun.

[Gabe]

Try pro-line "the edge" tyres on the front of your jato

[harry697]

Looks cool! Next time FLOOR IT! I really wanted to see that Slayer launch that big downhill double!:D Sure looks like it's got the motor to pull it off!

[Cynix]

I tried and tried and could not do it when it wasnt in the video. I got close with the Jato but still couldnt make it I need more practice.

You'll get it.Maybe you will have to create a new line from outside the track to get it into second gear!;)

[Cynix]

I will try next time and hopefully get it on video.

[harry697]

I will try next time and hopefully get it on video.

That's the spirit!!!!!:D

[Cynix]

Ya I want to go tomorrow but its raining and I need a new servo I might just buy one if it isnt raining tomorrow.

[bullitt2008]

What Servo do they run on the slayer my revo already comes with one 2070 servo (hi torque).

[Cynix]

Thats what the Slayer has.

[Super RC Driver]

Buy one? Did you call Traxxas customer service? Your Slayer is still under warranty so they should replace for you for free.

[Cynix]

I bought one. I couldnt weight that long for Traxxas to get me a new one but at least this way I will have a back up.:D

[Rustykid]

lol, can never have enough!!!!! :lol:

[2Brothers]

Hay Cynix the track is pretty easy on the cars and the jumps are that bad, you just have to go for them.

Wow! I am amusing by your user name you own one of the tracks? If so which one?

[2Brothers]

Cynix I own the track you were at last sunday. Yes I built that place and I run races there every saturday. So I know what it takes to clear all jumps there.

[Cynix]

Thats so cool that you have an account here. Did you come out and talk to me before we left? We had the red truck with a Black and Red Slayer Red Slash and Jato. I had a lot of fun keeo up the good work on the track. I can make most of the jumps pretty well but no matter what I do I cant make the double.

[2Brothers]

NO I did not I do not live there that was the owner of the land I lease the feild from him to run the track.

[REVO-DADDY]

Thats going to pop again, very common in Revo's. Get pn 5334r, which has a steel ring to prevent the ball from popping out. I am very surprised Traxxas did not use them in the first place.

[Cynix]

When I get some money I might get those.

[Super RC Driver]

Hey Cynix, you fixed your Slayer a while ago right?

[Cynix]

Hey Cynix, you fixed your Slayer a while ago right?
Yes and no I got a new servo but than I was having problems because of the pillow balls were to tight.

[Cynix]

Well I hope the track looks good I will probably be going out there tomorrow depending on the weather.

[Ranger_racer]

Are they pillow balls or pivot balls? I thought you fixed that problem..they were to tight. What are they doing now?

[Cynix]

I am pretty sure its pillow balls I got the problem fixed right now they are doing what ever it is pillow balls like to do.

[RustlerRacer16]

Glad you got that pillow ball problem sorted out. It goes either way by the way, pillow or pivot.

Your signature should read "I'm living the dream of CORR truck madness" not "I'm living the of CORR truck dream of madness". That doesn't really make sense. ;)

[Cynix]

O ya lol CORR trucks dont dream.

[RustlerRacer16]

How do you know? :lol:

[Cynix]

I guess I dont maybe they do I dont know lol.

[Cynix]

I went and it was awesome I am getting pretty good. The track was a little different today and I think I like the way it is now better. Also I can almost make the big double in the front I just need a little more speed hopefully next time I will make it. The Slayer was like a tank after 2 or 3 hours of driving nothing broke and ran like a charm. On the Slash a shock cap blew and the spur gear needed to be re aligned and the Jato stripped a spur and broke an A arms. I brought the camera but the battery's were dead. Next time I will check the batterys before I leave.

[embpic]

Did you replace your clutch with a stock one or aftermarket? My LHS will be open tomorrow and I was hoping they had an MIP clutch in stock.

[Cynix]

Well I didnt want to go to my lhs today so for the time bieng I took the one out of my Nitro Sport and used it.

[jusleanit]

boooooooooooooo for the camera man!:p nice hi-def pics tho. nice trak, even better that u guys have turn marshals on pratice days:)

[Cynix]

I wish the marshals were familly members lol.
