5 Best Traxxas Slash 4x4, Stampede 4x4, Rustler 4x4, Rally 4x4 upgrades

[@CalebLawrence007]

I would definitely agree aluminum shock caps and hardened shafts are a must for Traxxas RC cars!!

[@SpeedSyko]

Yes! I agree! Just rebuilt my shocks last night with oem, def need aluminum upgrade!

[@unknownunboxerr5325]

You should have mention The Wheel Hex, They are plastic and often gets rounded.. Specially if you are running on Lipo😁 but other than that, Great video!🏁

[@JUNXRCZ]

your the man razor, ive learned so much from watching all your vids

[@SpeedSyko]

I have about 75+ cars. I only use the stock radio on the stampede. I was against the blue tooth mod but you talked me into it, I’ll give it a shot. Thank you!

[@mcadamshub7351]

Getting my first car this Friday and used the rest of my spare money on caps shafts and the bearing adapter thanks for the help

[@jasonish]

Great stuff. Having owned Stampedes since 2013 I can't agree more. Never did get that module for the radios though. Will have to look into that.

[@Portapottypossum]

Just got my Traxxas rustler 4x4! Just ordered a new red wing, new front red aluminum bumper! And new red aluminum shock caps

[@LandenDenham]

You may end up not liking the aluminum bumper

[@daneunderwood8683]

No ones gonna talk about this dudes thumb

[@HognAndRign]

Never knew about the enndpoint adjustments on this radio . Good info video !

[@wallysrcdemolition2642]

agree mostly but i think first thing should be the drive shafts stock 1s are rubbish

[@innovativerc7155]

Great Video!! Thanks for all that great information!! Keep it up!! 👍👊😎

[@fcsthememe7987]

Done and Done but am waiting on. The mount from Traxxas for the Rustler 4x4, but it seems the King H mounts are thicker??? Hmmm.... maybe

[@jaxongallup5749]

What happens to your thumb

[@GetTonedFitness]

hows that green thumb ? - still plugging bungholes?

[@martienpost2234]

If ever i would play a drinking game where you have to drink when you say "actually" people are gonna die.

[@camerons1475]

What happened to your left thumb

[@colbyfrancoeur3549]

I’d say better drive shafts, shocks, servo, if you can snag the shock guards from a stampede 4x4 Vxl you can trim them a little and put them on the slash(looks fantastic), camber/steering rods. If you have the platinum or ultimate version you don’t need different shocks but having these add ons will make it indestructible

[@nc2827]

Great stuff! I'll have to look into that motor mount

[@hijeff8948]

I snapped a front shock shaft on a small jump less than a foot high

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Nice upgrades and video

[@jeffbryner5355]

Just replace the whole danm shock instead of spending the money on fixing the shitty ones with no adjustable collar. My biggest and most important upgrade for any of those is to get rid of all the Traxxas electronics. They are junk period. I change out servo all the way to the crap tq or tqi radio

[@HBFTimmahh]

Regardless of the Traxxas Rig you buy, the number 1 most important upgrade right out of the box, before you do anything, is pull and sell the scrap electronics. If it has a Venilion motor and ESC, you may keep them for a bit. Install a quality Steering Servo, a better ESC/Motor and Radio system like the Flysky FS6 or the Radiolink RC6GS, and the rest you can deal with as you need.

[@colbyfrancoeur3549]

I’ve had my platinum for 3 years and I’ve gone through one esc which I got replaced through traxxas for $50, other than that I haven’t had any problems and have absolutely loved the damn thing. Obviously everyone has their preference for what electronics they run but I don’t think it’s top priority to get rid of the stock electronics

[@HBFTimmahh]

@@colbyfrancoeur3549 Their escs have gotten way better no doubt. Hell, I was shocked to see they added epa and exp to their radios, which are usually pretty good. But lets face it, a Traxxas servo, or brushed motor, and even their bl motors are barely above cheap Chinese knockoff quality. 8 yrs ago, it was a requirement to put in a good servo out of the box if you wanted to run a whole battery pack or two.

[@dboogeman2002]

Why replace the shock cap if you have to replace the shock rod as well I might as well replace the shock am I wrong?

[@RazorRC]

Depends on what shocks you are planning to buy and how much they cost. You're not going to get decent shocks for $35.

[@dboogeman2002]

@@RazorRC Roger that. I hate to buy proline. And there's a lot of entigyy shocks out there

[@dboogeman2002]

@@RazorRC if you get shocks for $35 and you rebuild the seals and redo the fluid what makes them not so good if the caps stay on because honestly the Traxxas Slash the only problem is the Caps don't stay on the shocks now tell me honestly what you think about cap staying on and what the problem is

[@aidan5320]

@@dboogeman2002 check get shock caps and thats it 14$

[@JesseBMotors]

Great info 👍

[@RazorRC]

Thanks for watching!

[@משהאלעזר]

Hello, I have a slash ultimate car, how can I limit the speed, I would love to receive a tutorial video, thanks

[@markoftheus]

The speed controller has training mode that limits the speed to 50%. The truck should come with instructions on how to enable it. You could also use a 2s LiPo instead of a 3s as well as gearing down with a smaller pinion.

[@deplorable113]

nice vid!

[@EXTREMERC416]

Driveshafts is the worst weak spot on the brushless 3s expensive upgrade its my major turn off

[@EXTREMERC416]

Not for nothing the stempede came with tekno dogbones

[@moped121]

I just got a slash 4x4 vxl ultimate

[@IAmTheScience17]

you forgot the suspension arms

[@bryceb6906]

I’ve snapped a few of the stock ones

[@kaistackhouse4184]

Hey razor rc! Love your videos. Do you still recommend the htrc t240? I'm looking for a new charger on a budget. Thanks a response would be much appreciated!

[@RazorRC]

Yeah, I think it's good, but I would not use it to discharge, charging only.

[@kaistackhouse4184]

@@RazorRC by discharge are u meaning storage mode for lipos?

[@RazorRC]

​@@kaistackhouse4184 Storage will charge to 3.8v/cell if your battery is too low, and discharge down to 3.8v/cell if it's too high. So run it down to 3.8 or a little below and then hit the storage charge.

[@jamiefrench1421]

The remote may say tqi. But it's way more then 30 bucks. It'll cost you another 250 for everything

[@jackvalliere7542]

Does the motor mount work on a stampede 4x4 also

[@orange1248]

yes, they are based on the same platform

[@geddon436]

so, how much more money do the upgrades add to final cost?

[@jacobhamilton1089]

I just bought brand new shocks

[@Portapottypossum]

I’m looking for new shocks for my rustler 4x4

[@lennchadful]

just buy all new shocks yall

[@tdstone5630]

Best upgrade to a Traxxas is buying a Tekno and just avoid there overpriced and underperforming trucks that are not durable without major upgrades.

[@jeffbryner5355]

Bahahaha! Finally someone who doesn't think traxxas is the shit like me!! I say the samething all the time but i run associated. Never ran tekno so i cant preach on them but losi and associated i have and there better quality by far even there rtr kits. Traxxas is overpriced garbage!!! U shouldnt have to buy a rtr kit amd then have to upgrade it just to be more durable out of the box. My first gen rtr pro comp sc10 is still kicking it
