Could you build a Slash 4x4 out of only upgrades

[Snowstorm355]

could you buy only upgraded parts and build a slash from the ground up. If thinking there are no upgrades for diff cases.

[traxxasFTW]

yeah diff cases and bulkeads, but everything else, i think. The bulkheads would be replaced if you bought the rce LCG chassis

[SlashandBurn]

you could come real close, some revo parts too. that would be sweet and you would probably save money doing it that way rather than starting stock. i wish that i wouldnt have gotten the ultimate i have replaced most of the ultimate parts.

Diff house no Diff cup yes..

[iamsuperbleeder]

the real question is, could you really call it a Slash then?

it would just be a custom built 4x4 RC with only a few Slash parts on it

Been there done that got the Tshirt. Built mine part by part off ebay and some from online stores.
Still have a lot of stock but it is built the way I want it.

Was fun doing it, just about as fun as running it. I do enjoy the long night tare downs.

You very well could, and if your a skilled rc hobbyist, I would encourage it. You could build a real beast of a truck this way. Revo parts/lcg chassis/tekin or castle power. This is what most of us end up doing anyway, just not all at once. Lol

Snowstorm, I assume you mean alike all upgrade or aftermarket parts and yeah. I think I agree with cage410, there is probably an aftermarket part for everything except the diff cups.

[SLW-SVT]

Yes you can and I did. The only thing you need is the front and rear diffs

gumleguf has the right idea and id say its safe to call it a slash still because as long as u keep the slash shell on the chassis its a slash!!!
