wow...a picture is worth a thousand words indeed...

[caineblack]

anyone who says you dont love your life needs to be smacked. I bet for your anniversary you gave her a new set of tires didnt ya

[SLW-SVT]

haha no it's not like that. i have the most fun working on the trucks so it's more of an excuse to have/mod another truck with the added bonus of her having something to drive at the track with me

this truck is getting converted back to a backslash! I ordered a Losi 8 body, wing mount and wing tonight. I will be switching back to the Shining Star Chassis as well

Nice looking builds but a few of these photos have been photoshopped. Everyone knows that MIPs are rock solid and cant be broken no matter how hard you try. Dont believe me? Just ask the pro MIP/Tekno haters, they will confirm!

[Rckid97]

nothing is unbreakable and i have heard many cases of them breaking so i think your a little off on that statement

[SLW-SVT]

thanks Justin. They can in fact be broken. I've broken 3 mip stubs while using aka and traxxas 17mm adapters. MIP is aware of that and they recommend using their 17mm adapters. After using their adapters I haven't broken a stub. I have heard of a few cases of mip shafts breaking in two as well. I only went with mip's because they were immediately available for use with protrac arms. I did have bad luck with tekno's breaking two rear carriers and 4 bones, but the bones were replaced and they are in my slash 4x4 box for later use.

I made progress on the buggy conversion and switching back to the ssc chassis. All I need to do is paint the body now and setup the suspension. I like how it turned out.

finished! I added 116mm rear shocks. for now, the only thing left is to get trce extended arms to replace the plastic protrac ones.








up travel

[traxxasFTW]

Hey SLW-SVT, im looking to buy some D8s for my slash 4x4, what size do i need? Do i get all fronts or front and rears?

would these exactly what i would buy? or buy 2 sets of the fronts?

[SLW-SVT]

sorry I missed your question..in case you haven't been told I followed this thread:

[traxxasFTW]

but why did you add the bigger ones in the back?

[Wakesurfer98]

but why did you add the bigger ones in the back?

. I belive so that you have more travel in the rear im pretty sure but idk..

[SLW-SVT]

tbh I had ordered a regular rear pair but they were taking awhile to arrive so I took the rears off of my vorza since I had just stole the front and rear diffs for one of my emaxx's. The added bonus was more suspension travel. I think it looks more buggy like with the longer rear shocks. I really need to put some fuel tubing in to limit the travel and get softer springs. The last pic is of the max height.

Well I made it home from working offshore and took some current pics. We are in the middle of moving so I might not make it to a track this time off. If I do, I will take vids of the wife driving this thing. I do have the Mamba Monster ESC and the 2400kv motor but it's not installed.

It looks like it can't figure out if it is an Associated SC10 4x4 or a Slash 4x4!!!!

their bodies are thicker and look better IMO than traxxas bodies. I need some slash 4x4 stickers!

I am sure you have gotten this question alot, what wing and mount are you using on the above pictured buggy conversion. I have looked everywhere for a wing to go on my rustler truggy conversion, no luck.

[SLW-SVT]

The wing and mount i used are from a Losi 8ight e. that may not work with the transmission on a 2wd rustler. I put a wing on my ex bandit (now grave digger). I used an HPI vorza wing mount and shaved off some of the bottom bracing to clear the transmission.
