SLASH buildup threads?

[Booger Weldz]

these things are DAMN fun stock and can take a good beating without worrying about them busting...i just got one...

it needs an original body and paint along with a wheel/tire combo...like a leduc monster energy drink sponsored or something or a ricky johnson redbull truck??? i might have those drivers names/teams messed up???

i already moved the shock mounting points around a bit and added some spring preload so i could haul ass on pavement. for less than $200 this truck creates some pretty big smiles! tomorrow we are gonna head to the town skate park and 'take it off some sweet jumps'!

I got way out of the high speed stuff ever since I owned my SavageX, which sucks to work on. But I'm actually interested in a Slash...anything electrical is cool, so sick of nitro. What's the different between the Slash and the other CORR model though?

They're fairly cheap, might pick one up some time soon.

[sloppy12]

the other corr trucks are nitro AE and kyosho both have one now.. and traxxas also has the slayer all the nitro ones are 4wd to.. slash is 2wd


slash is probably one of the most fun fast trucks I have ever owned, fast enough out of the box to keep your interest, handles decent, and is a blast at a skate park.. I did manage to snap mine in half at the skate park but it was pretty stupid jump to try and clear..

only upgreades I will do to mine is some proline beadlocks and there switch tires tha should make handling allot better..

[Booger Weldz]

i love this thing! for $199 and a deans connector, holy shit! i already had a $50 girt cert from my Bday...

i only found 3 bodies for it...a hardline, a desert rat and the stock slash body is available in a clear...beadlocks are pretty easy, but the offset is a lot of backspacing...its already wide enough or any 2.2 wheel would work(like scorpion takeoffs)....

some tires called 'switch' from proline look pretty good...i was hoping to find some drifting tires that would fit to do circles around the culdesac i live on, sideways!!

slashes are great. brushless even more fun. but much more expensive. i have broke every part on the thing except the front a-arms. i slowly replace it with AL parts.
just dont get the STRC rear shock tower. it was a shitty design, and broke w/in 5 min (not even jumping it) and they would not warantee it.

and ya, skate ramps are bad.

[Booger Weldz]

im kinda leary of the aluminum thing, the delrin/plastic/whatever it is, stock stuff has a lot of give before being permanetly deformed or broke in half. the aluminum parts ive seen for RC are a pretty brittle grade and dont flex much before:

SNAP!

so, on the brushless thing...im thinking theres just too much power to find the ground and all the truck does is loose traction, spin out and become uncontrollable?? a really precise trigger finger or custom throttle profiles might help, but i drive like shit regardless

[sloppy12]

proline makes beadlocks for the slash with the right offset, and there pretty sweet only 6 screws to change the wheels.. I am running the wheels on my 2.2 scaler but as soon as the weather breaks I will be getting some for the slash to..

and it depends on the brushelss system you put in.. you could get a lower KV system and it wouldnt be much faster then stock but the motor would last alot longer..

the stock motors dont last as long as I would like..

I have seen his slash run. With paddles it throws 12-15ft rooster tails!! He has the castle sidewinder with the 4600kv. I don't remember what he has for a battery. I put the same thing in mine but it's not as fast. I need a better battery and tuning on the esc. It's out of control until you get the hang of it.

ya the rear skid plate and shock tower are shitty in AL. ive gone through 3 skid plates and now run the stocker. but the knuckles, steering stuff, and ft skid plate are holding up in AL.

its way too much power. but damn fun. ive got the mamba max ESC and have quite a bit of punch control dialed in and it will still get super loose in turns, you learn throttle control real quick.

i was running a 7cell NiMh. and im running the mamba max, i was overheating the sidewinder ESC w/ the 5600kv motor. (i went back to the 4600kv now). i cant wait to get a 3s lipo for it. should be much more unconrtollable.

got a Slash for xmas...........already swapped out for EVERYTHING in the rpm catalog, VXL system, aluminum steering and caster blocks, Proline switch tires on Epic rims, VXL Brushless system.................fun truck. I run the stock motor when its wet out, can snow bash pretty good as long as its only a little bit. Fun truck....as if i need another money pit.

[Deezul]

oh yea...for street treads if anyone is interested. Traxxas Anacondas on 2.8 rims for REAR of the electric Rustler bolt right up. Just get all 4 rear.

[Flatty]

I have a brushless Slash that I am thinking about selling soon. These things are CRAZY fun. I have the slash with an EZrun 9T brushless setup on a 3 cell Lipo and it will reach speeds of about 60mph+ EASY!!!! I shredded the stock tires, so now I have some REVO tires on REVO rims. Those are holding up pretty darn well, AND they work like a WONDER in the dirt.

Dima

[urbanmuddboger]

so any pics of said slash at the sk8 park?

wanna sell some of these parts(motor/brushless setup and revo tire/wheel combo) or better yet, trade me(plus my cash) for my stock parts and sell yours as a stocker??


i never made it to the skate park. it rained hard all day thrusday and friday and got me backed up on work to do on my sons 4runner build

[]4RunnerKid[]

mine:



locked the diff, threw in a CC sidewinder/5700 combo, and DAMN.....

it was fun stock, even more fun now. worth every penny... i feel like i'm 12 again.

gimme the details, ill just copy you...battery type and # of cells??

[]4RunnerKid[]

7-cell 5000mah NiMH from cheapbatterypacks.com

i'd go with the 4600kV motor though, the 5700 heats up pretty fast on the Slash...

Here's a couple pics of my Slash:


Pro Line Desert Rat lid painted by RC Crawler Graphics
RPM front A-Arms
RPM front knuckle C's
RPM front hubs
Rogue Element Components SCAB (slipper clutch adjustment button)
Castle Creations Sidewinder/5700Kv combo

My buddies and I have a few of these trucks, and we beat the snot out of them. We race them at the local track. Local hobby shop just got the new shipment in, and they had different painted shells on them. One was a Fabtech paint job, and the other was an Amsoil paint scheme. They look pretty cool in the factory paint jobs.
We are leaving ours stock, like the spec class racing to keep it interesting.

Ya what are the specs on this thing. I wanna make one for me and my pops. In a vid that I seen it looks like there using a wheelie king axle in the rear. If so Ive go the shit to make them, then I just need the specs on the electronics and motor and shit. I hella want to make one.

your screwed ... youve got it. RCfever

almost bought a slash, walked around the store with it for about half an hour. currently ive been really looking at a sc8 (AE 4wd nitro) and the HPI baja 5T. the baja 5t is nice because it runs off normal 2cyl mix but the bastard is HUGE.
