What did you do to your Slash today?

[ALopezJr]

Received a couple of items in the mail:

[Fr8cture]

ok here are some picks of the car almost finished tires on. still waiting on a couple stickers for the red one, the blue one gonna change the tires maybe blue beadlocks would be nice. both added a jesus fish to the roof thought that was interesting took mine out for a spin today still have to make some adjustments on suspension but like the way it flows gonna put some pic of the inside also hope you like

How are you getting different colored beadlocks? Are you painting them?

[vladsly]

Well, I jumped it full speed off a jump that is up to my waist straight into a tree, and only my rear bumper broke from the 2 meter high fall! I'll have a vid up soon!

Tested my Slash MT today again. Running a Turngy ********* 2100kv with 120esc on 4s, gearing is 19/54. I don't pop any wheelies with that gearing but been primarily running on pavement due to the grass being wet and I havent received my stampede receiver box yet. I can't even go past half throttle on pavement because I loose all traction and the truck just spins even if I'm going 20mph. Tried some anacondas but no improvement, truck looses all grip past half throttle.



This happened as I was trying to chrono a high speed pass reading. I was trying to slowly bring the truck up to speed but lost control as I checked for traffic then tried to go past half throttle. Skidded straight into the sidewalk with brakes fully engaged. It was 20 degrees out today and the lower control arm didn't stand a chance but a 5 min arm swap and I'm ready for tomorrow.

Get some foams, some stiff springs with less rebound to keep the tires planted, tape up the inside of the tires to prevent ballooning and you should be rocketing down the road in no time!

I finally got my rpm/rc lites 6 led kit installed. They look and work great. Just have to tuck away the last few wires. But as it got up to 40 outside today I even got to bash a little bit. Unfortunatly snow tonight and back into the teens tommorow.

Well I actually Broke my local indoor race track. Thats right my Ultimate took out a fairly large piece of the yellow plastic tubing used for lanes. My truck is fine, but not so sure about the track missing a guard rail.

I'll keep this in mind, thanks. Although, I'm going for more of a MT for off road use.

[ArmySSG]

[Darrel Goheen]

What brand of roll bar is that and do you like it? I'm tired of buying bodies. Thanks.

[UnGreased Fist]

Put on some 1/8 scale buggy wheels and 17mm hexes. Going to see how it does tomorrow.

Still up in the Air about getting the strc lcg. One thing at a time. I guess Haha

My basher body.

I got a rc8 body. Just haven't had time to cut it out and paint it. And or figure out how to mount it , what wing are people running ? I need to pick one of those up too

[texastoast]

Installed a Futaba 4PK R. About to upgrade to Tekno's. Starting to think about doing a build page, not sure which thread it goes in.

[wesman_86]

Well I have had my slash for all of 2 days and I take it outside to play in the mud...next thing you know, high speed power slide into the side of my house. Broken a arm.

[brandon32689]

How to you like the lcg chassis im debating swapping mine

[texastoast]

How to you like the lcg chassis im debating swapping mine

It's ok, I had to dremel it in a few places for the aftermarket servo and center driveshaft. Not sure why the servo horn was rubbing, tight tolerances I guess.

I also have a 2wd slash with the standard chassis. The lcg defiantly handles way better, no rolling. The 2wd handles rough terrain better. If your mainly bashing but want performance ,the Traxxas lcg is the ticket. Adding a Outerwear cover keeps most of the dirt out.

That said, the STRC chassis might be in my future if they ever get blue kits back in stock. The 4x4 is destined to be on the track.

I got allot of work done to my slash, but its the reg chassis. All i do is bash. Really wanting to convert to that chassis so i don't flip over as much.

[Brutus Maximus]

What did I do to my Slash today?

Kinda like my slash, waitng for the bearings for the steering. Then it should be good but then I have to wait for snow to melt.

[UnGreased Fist]

Picked up a tundra pro line body , pro line body mounts

Going to try to make it match my Tacoma as Much as possible

Fort Worth, you? So glad the weather decided to mello out today!

[texastoast]

Got a lot of work so this might be today and tomorrow. Then next week to the track for setup and logging.

[Brutus Maximus]

Ok, let me set the scene....My son decided to run our 4x4 into a curb at full speed, breaking the front right a-arm and popping the top off the shock losing the silicone diaphragm and spilling all the shock oil. Being that we're both new to the RC world, I walked my wife through the Traxxas parts list to show her how much it was going to cost to fix the broken parts; it all came to about $15 bucks.

However, while we were in the hobby shop I decided to replace all the a-arms with black RPMs. And since I needed to rebuild the front right shock, I decided to upgrade to Pro-line performance shocks all around. I also went ahead and picked up a couple of Traxxas 7.4v 7600mah batteries.

As you've all figured out, our little trip cost just a tad more than I had originally alluded to in the garage. Needless to say, my wife is less than thrilled with me and I can't wait to head to the track tomorrow with three fresh batteries. :-)

[mitchlutze]

This happens to me everytime I go to the lhs for replacement parts. Its just way more fun shopping when you can hold the parts in your hand rather than just looking at a picture.

[UnGreased Fist]

Your going to love those pro line shocks. Night and day compared to stock

I cant Waite for my lcg chassis to show up

[rustler1999929]

Yesterday I got Rpm 4 a arms , mud flaps , bumper rpm and other parts for my rustler
pics to come

[Brutus Maximus]

At lunch I finished swapping out the rear A-arms and stock shocks for pro-lines. Then I ran it for the entirety of a 4200 mah lipo. I LOVE IT! These shocks are amazing. The only thing I need to do now is tune the rear so that it doesn't bounce as much. The front end is money, but the back end likes to come up a little on the landing. I took off any and all pre-load to give the springs some more travel room, but they still feel really stiff. I'm running 30w oil in them. I'll have someone a little more experienced than me take a look at them tonight at the track. Tonight will be our first outing at the track together as a family and my first outing with my own car. I think my son is going to love running "his" Slash in training mode. (He's only 6)

Wish us luck and if anyone has any input as far as the shocks go, I'd love to hear it. I'll take my video camera to the track tonight so I can post a video of what I'm seeing with the rear end.
