Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate it!!

Out of Sight- Thanks a lot mate, I've always been very detail-oriented, and I love to see when other people take time like I do in making...

I've finally finished my Protrac conversion and got my Chevy 1500 SC body painted up.
I also got the STRC hinge pin kit, and the RPM front skid/bumper. Here's a link to some pics, let me know what...

212!!!

PE- I haven't painted the body yet, so I've only driven it in the driveway very quickly without the body. Looks like a runner!!

Nothing wrong with that! Especially for only your 2nd time :) You've got the skills, for sure. From this point, your bodies will just keep looking better.

Let's see some pics of it mounted up with...

That's an amazing body! One of the best I've seen by far. I like the window trim with the screws in it, makes it look great. I'm not too big on flames, but I respect the time you put into the body...

I've just finished installing the Protrac on my Slash. I haven't driven it yet, but it looks great.

For the MIP CVD's- the Slash CVD's will no longer work, since the bones will be too short to...

4stslash- here's a link that shows loads of pics, including where the motor goes! http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showthread.php?p=505989

Something to keep in mind for those who may think this...

Thats interesting the RPM and Protrac stacked up pretty much the same. Also good to hear Proline stands behind their products.

Does anyone know about the MIP CVD's??

So I was all ready to order up the Proline Protrac system for my Slash but I figured out that it would not work with my MIP CVD's. The CVD's are too short for the longer Protrac arms.
I have a few...

Has anyone on here used the Jconcepts overtray? I'm wondering if it would be enough protection for my non-waterproof VXL system for driving in snow. I know heat dissipation might be an issue, but...

Lipos are not really finicky and danergous. In my opinion, they are easier to use than Ni-MH. Just make sure you store them at 50%, then when you're ready to run your truck, charge them up and you're...

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! You can be proud, though because you helped build this truck! :)

mav8686- The spacers I have underneath the front body posts are just some parts I found in my...

Hey guys, you may remember the thread I started on here a while ago, asking for some advice on making a monster-style Slash. Well, the build is finished, and I took the truck out for the first drive...

Wow that looks really good actually! Nice and clean, that's what I like to see. I'd like to make some sway bars for my Slash, and I like how you arranged yours. I may have to steal your idea! :P
Be...

As Jezza Clarkson would say, "I went on the Internet this week and I found this"- http://www.bigsquidrc.com/traxxas-slash-gets-hardcore/

It's a solid-axle chassis setup for the Slash!!!!!! Also, I...

rag6- that looks awesome! Very scale looking, I love it, and I'm not even that big of a Jeep fan haha. :p That's exactly the look I'm going for, something more proportional than a standard MT.

thanks so much guys for all the help, it's been awesome!

bde742- Thanks for the pics! That's very similar to the look I'm going for. I won't be running any bumpers, and my body may be a bit...

globo- Thanks, looks like I'll be ordering up the Slash version Revolvers then, along with the Masher 2000s. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how they clear the body and make some changes if I...

I'm recording the WSBK too! And the MotoGP as well. The 250 MotoGP races are on right now, I can here the TV in the next room. We are a die hard motorycling family, my dad has 2 bikes, one of which...

globo- I was thinking of using the RPM Revolver wheels. I see on the RPM website that there are Revolver wheels for the Slashhttp://www.rpmrcproducts.com/products/wheels/Slash/Revolver.htm, and...

haha it sure is, that's why I like it! I had the regular one when I had my Emaxx, I loved it. I was looking for some brown paint to make it really old school, but I can't find any! :mad:

that looks great! I always say sometimes the simplest paint jobs look the best. I love how you did the black panel lines too, how did you do that?
Wheels looks good too, nice and old school. :cool:

globo- The Masher 2000 tyres I'm planning on using are 4.9 inches in diameter, so they may work with stock arms. See the problem is, I'd hate to buy all these parts and then find out that something...

globo- thanks so much for the pics! That explains everything perfectly, and looks like a pretty easy install too. Your monster Slash looks amazing by the way, I'm very jealous! :wub: I saw you're...

globo- thanks for the link. Those posts look like they would work perfectly for the front, but how about the rear? I'm not sure how they would fit on. Would I even need longer posts for the rear?
