Sway Bar Kit for 1/16 Rally/Slash/Mustang

[aburg2]

Does anyone have the aftermarket Sway Bar Kit installed on their cars? Are there any pics showing detail available. How well does the kit work? Is it best for on or off road? Thanks in advance!

There are some here, you can search around for them, I can't remember which ones have them. I think they're by HOT Racing. It would be best for on road normally since you want a lot of articulation for offroad--but depends on what you're doing. I could see a short course truck using them for example.

Thanks! I found the Hot Racing kit on eBay. I want to try it on my 1/16 Slash, but I am also going to install one on my Mustang. I'm using tires for grip, not drifting, and want a handling setup that won't roll over as much. I'm also trying out different spring/oil setups to control dive on braking, as well as handling.

Ok, I finally got the HR Sway Bar kits in and installed. Very simple installation. I also went with 10K Diff oil mixed with 70WT shock oil to reduce squat on acceleration, and nose dive on braking. Using the HPI Vintage slicks, this thing handles like a dream! I went through 2 packs of stick 1200mAh NiMh in series on concrete, and couldn't roll it over! I haven't had a chance to try the X-Patterns yet, but I fear they will grip better and cause the car to flip. Next is a track test on asphalt.

I also put a set on my 1/16 Slash 4X4. It stiffens up the suspension nicely!

Looks great.
What kind of tires are those on the Slash?

Also, it looks like you've got some adjustable pushrods on the stang. Who makes them and where do you get them?

Those are the HPI Pirelli T Rally tires 26mm mounted on 0mm offset HPI Te37's

They are Integy T3465SILVER. I got 'em from my LHS, but you can find them as well as others on eBay. Makes suspension adjustments much easier, IMO.

Thanks,

Last week I ordered some HPI 4475s( SuperSize Rally Tires) and some different type wheels to try on the Slash. Their specified OD is 2.9" which is just about .200" bigger than stock which is something I'm hoping will help handle the rough better and yet fit nicely under the fenders. They also come in a soft compound.

I hope the Integy stuff holds up for you. I tried a set for the tie rods and pushrods and they didn't last 15 minutes on my Slash going offroad. Everyone of the rods came out of one end or the other. The Traxxas tierods are awesome however.

I agree, I put the TRAXXAS tierods on the Slash. I beat it up pretty good. I put the Integy ones on my two on road cars, the Boss Mustang and KB Fiesta. Not interested in drifting, just speed and handling.

Can you post a URL for the sway bar kit?

I have a 302 Boss Mustang. Is this the kit? http://www.hot-racing.com/index.cgi?...XS311X01;c=455

That is the kit.
