Great Vid thank you. I did last week to my 2WD Slash. One thing I did differently was on the pro-line body mounts I used the rear poles in front and the front poles in back. This allowed me to get the front end level with the back end and because I raised the front a little higher I did not have to do any trimming on the front of the body. My truck look INSANE!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hey, glad you were able to swap the body mounts successfully; great tip! Thanks for sharing. -Brett

[@JasonGN2045]

Just converted my son's 2WD slash using the pro-line body mount kit and Stampede Talon tires. Kept it brushed with stock gears (16T pinion/90T spur) and it's still awesome. Much better in taller grass. Thanks for the tip.

[@Huncho07]

is it just as fast as before

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The tires used in this video have been discontinued. As an alternative, these newer Pro-Line Trenchers feature the Raid wheel with removeable hexes, and work great. Just be sure to use the wide offset hex when assembling the wheel: www.amainhobbies.com/proline-trencher-2.8-tires-w-raid-6x30-wheels-2-m2-pro1170-10/p985707?v=873802 -Brett

[@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT]

You can run the Canyon AT tires on a Rusty vxl. Just use the Traxxas 17MM Aluminum wheel adapters. Put the wide ones out front and the narrow ones out back. You will need to flip the front body post upside-down then mount the two posts on the top. For the rear add the 2WD Slash rear body mount, and then you will need to ream two new holes in the rear of the body. Gear it around 12-90 for 3S. It's quite the machine running the 7" tall tires and floats on water, but you need to add black electrical tape. If you are going to play in the water! This will keep the water out and the tires always running balanced...

[@xoibor]

This is what got me into the hobby, thanks

[@GuyonaMoose]

I remember putting my hpi monster truck tires on my brothers rustler back in the early 2000s lol I loved that set up

Hi i took a slash 4x4 put a roberson racing gen 3 gears in it and a 2200 kv and a duel esc both Castle.then lipo battery set up in the slash . and then put all upgraded axles and shocks in and THEN PRO LINE TRENCHERS ON .what a MONSTER it ran over everything .THIS was will before THE MONSTER 2WD . had fun then traded all my slashes for another UDR that made 4 UDRS. took the motor and esc out of the slash 4x4 and bought a ROLLER UDR put everything in the UDR roller.THAT WAS the end of my 8 slashes ..thanks

[@Blacked_OutMedia]

I have Proline Badlands on mine there a 1.91” on my Slash 4X4 1/10 and ordered a 30mm hun extension kit for it. The slash is stanced and looks amazing Ntm has better handling around corners with that and just ordered the new spur gears and swapped the pinion to the bigger one for higher top speed. I also have alloy body mounts coming and have brand new alloy shocks on it. I plan on making it almost all alloy over the next year or two but for now it’s one badass RC.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

nice video, if you want the diff to stop unloading all the time. just add a bit of diff puddy from racers edge and a few drops of shock oil in the diff. the diff now will work like a limited slip diff and there will be no more one wheel peels. i use this in my slash diff, it works a treat. great for wheelies 😉😉😉

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

no problem, this motor system can handle 3s. i run 3s in my slash and it has the same motor system as this. Temps are 65 degrees when i run 3s, and 55 when i run 2s. its crazy fast on the 3s pack, its a must try : )

[@CRIZS_CREATIONS]

If you swap the differential out for the Hot Racing Sealed Differential. It will solve all the issues for good and save your motor and trans as well. Cheap at $25-30.

Heh didn't think i'd see you here Green Gecko. What RCs do you have?

[@GLOCKATTACK40]

It definitely needs a 14 tooth pinion ! I have the 2wd & 4x4 done Monster. Much more beneficial in 4X4(especially in winter) It goes almost anywhere. The 2wd...Not so much. Put 2.8 paddles and skis in front on 2wd! Then you will have an AWESOME snowmobile in the winter!

[@DirtyBob200X]

This is what I did to my Slash 4X4. Jconcepts Ford Atlas body, Integy body mounts, Tekno axels at all four corners including center driveshaft with aluminum hex's instead of plastic. New Savox hi-torque servo and Proline 2.8" Super Swampers. It is one bad ass looking truck now.

[@clayg12v]

I did that to my brushless slash a few years ago, but I didn't switch out my motor or any electronics. I also just raised my suspension and I didn't raise the hood. my hood was already cracked pretty bad so I cut off the rear fenders and it worked good. it performs way better than before I did it. if you have a slash I would recommend trying this!

[@clayg12v]

@RC Daniel Hi RC Daniel, I did it on a 2wd slash, you should be able to do it on the lcg chassis without a problem. I'm not 100% positive about the 4x4 arms and whether they will be in the way to do it. I'm guessing that it would be fine, but that's not a guarantee. In my slash I kept the VXL motor and reciever and I haven't had any problems with overheating, if you did start to have problems after the fact you could always gear it down to a slower but more powerful ratio

[@ss454gm]

So you just running the factory vxl motor? And how it run is it still quick? Did you change gearing? Thanks

[@enricomiceli5517]

On my opinion, only if u plan to go full rage offroad, upgrade arms and knobs,shocks and springs, undergear and have a brushless system than go for it. If u like racing on tracks even smaller ones forget sharp and precise stearing and control at high speed. Again your chassis will bounce more and get less slaps but the arms , shocks and the electronics will pay the price

[@JK-qv8sv]

I started with 2.8 trenchers on my slash 4x4 but recently changed to 2.8 Badlands, they are a narrower tire also looks and feels more aggressive!

Cool build I see it's a old vid but very cool, and I ordered some parts from Amain for the first time the other day and everything was perfect and fast shipping..👍

[@ryanstevenson3671]

So many things I had to upgrade once I went to the 2.8 trenchers. Had to go from mid level steering servo to top end titanium gear steering servo. All the force of hitting an object kept breaking the gears. I also run 3s on the same castle system in the video. Had to change the gear ratio to a top speed set up, too much torque and more grip from the tires, all the car wants to do is wheelie and I don't feel like installing a wheelie bar. If running 3s, need to upgrade to steel drive shaft, all the torque just snaps the plastic. Just switching to steel yokes doesn't work. The plastic just breaks elsewhere. Before switching, I already had pro line shocks and numerous aluminum parts in the places that need stronger parts. Now that I am fully upgraded the car is amazing and can go even more places than before. I also run a Low CG chassis so there was more trimming to the body than required in this video.

[@officialclownbusiness7788]

Ryan Stevenson your truck sounds badass. nice job!

[@zedorda1337]

Sounds more like you had to build the truck to handle your driving style.

[@ryanstevenson3671]

@@zedorda1337 I initially built the truck for top speed prior to putting the bigger tires on. That's why I have a low CG chassis and a 3s battery, otherwise i probably would have kept the original chassis and the 2s battery would definitely remove some of the torque. But i like speed and i've learned to actually use the throttle instead of just hammering it. I got it up to 73 MPH before aero just flipped the whole thing. From there i put bigger tires on and had to keep lowering my gear ratio to remove torque. So i definitely have a particular driving style. I'm not around much dirt, so i just bash on any surface i can find.

[@KevinRaffay]

@@ryanstevenson3671 I just got a used 2WD Slash roller with a Castle Motor and Hobbywing esc that I was going to convert to no-prep drag car but I like your setup better. The roller is pretty quick with 3S so I want to do this Monster conversion instead because I like to bash. Can you share the upgrades you made to get to those ridiculous speeds?

[@ryanstevenson3671]

@@KevinRaffay to reach the 70's, I had not yet gone to the monster slash set-up. I had low cg kit, castle motor/esc, 3s lipo, upgraded steering servo, traxxas tqi system, bead lock rims with dirt tires, pro line suspension, and top speed gearing. I also sat in the passenger seat of a vehicle and chased the rc car. That was also another way to confirm speed. Once I switched to monster slash, I just upgraded everything that broke. You'll need steel driveshafts, titanium gear steering servo, titanium gears for the transmission, upgraded joints, etc. Just about everything will need to be upgraded/beefed up.

You can use the stock motor with the larger tires but the gearing will need to be changed. With our truck we did check temps and they were ok for our ambient temperatures. Not sure what battery we used now, but I think it was a 2S. -Brett

It's fine to use your current motor, there is no need to upgrade that with tires. You can add any compatible tires on your R/C with no need to change your electronics. One thing though: when you use tires of a bigger diameter, it changes the gearing slightly for the car, so you may need to drop a tooth or two on your pinion gear, just to prevent your motor and ESC from overheating. -Brett

Pick up two sets of these tires and they'll work on both the Slash 4x4 and 2WD, no problemo! www.amainhobbies.com/proline-trencher-2.8-tires-w-desperado-nitro-rear-wheels-2-black-m2-pro1170-12/p386130?v=211818&r=0&/proline-trencher-2.8-tires-w-desperado-nitro-rear-wheels-2-black-m2-pro1170-12/p386130?v=211818&r=0 -Brett

what i want to know is about the fitting, becuse the hex is biger in front on the 2 wd then on the back do that make any diffrents for the install? What if i just wanted to get the 2.2 size what will fitt?

[@hanskristianknudsen9485]

Ok thx for the respons, but what offset do you juse?

[@FAWX]

I'm assuming this would be possible on a 1/8 slash correct?

[@sammygonzalez7627]

I guess you also do this setup with the 4x4 ?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yeah, really easy to do except it needs the 4x4 extended body mount set from Proline, not the 2wd version. -Brett

[@tobrc]

the body can no longer touch the ground now? can the suspension and shocks withstand this?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The truck only sits higher because the tires are slightly taller and the body has been raised, so it looks taller than it is. The suspension can handle this and the shocks are adjustable if the need for thicker shock fluid happens. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks Brett! 😉

[@andrewleis1426]

Can you run it with stock electronics

[@dannystoltz35]

How do you setup the front wheel offset?? Do you need to get anything?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

You don't setup anything; you buy the correct wheel offset from the beginning, and just mount the tire. It's that easy. -Brett

I found a Monster Energy Drink edition Slash 4x4 for $200 brand new. Is that a good deal or should I stick with what I originally wanted in a Rustler or E Revo?

[@facehunter504]

AMain Hobbies thanks for the advice. The dude is backing out selling me the Monster edition Slash. So Revo it is I guess

[@facehunter504]

Cyclonex1CA ca yea I actually bought it and immediately sold on eBay. Giving me funds to buy a Slash Platinum edition, with EZ peak charger 2 Lipo batteries and a Spektrum DX4C radio for a whopping $75.. I was able to mouth piece the dude cuz the tires were shot and needed new drive shafts in the back. Also got the e Revo 1/16 scale nothing wrong with it, 4 batteries and everything else for a vape I payed 40 bucks for and vape juice I didn’t even use, and now last but def not least my Rustler VXL I got off eBay with tons of upgrades for like $280-$300 or something like that, this thing was bashed bad I had all kinda screws backwards, dirty AF, tires were shot and body. But I’m fine with that cuz I wanted to make my own body for the Rustler. Also got 2 traxxas LaTrax rally cars with an onyx 245 dual charger, tons of batteries and a whole toolbox full of good tools for rc cars and extra parts, also had 2 brand new in touched bodies to customize and 2 little HPI cars you can charge from your radio. Got all that at a garage sale for $100. But I have a cool vid up with my e Revo. It was a crazy jump idk how I landed. But I plan on making vids about my Rustler on what I can do next or better to improve my car. Sites like craigslist are amazing

[@RBRM3]

Yes that is a good price. Sounds too good, but I got an E-MAXX for $120 and just needed a new chassis.

[@isaaclyonsf1]

KaYoTiiC CAiiN KaYoTiiC KRiiT, where did you find it? I want to get one of them!

[@facehunter504]

Isaac Lyons I got mine from someone selling locally. I got lucky cuz that one I was talking about fell through and found another one. I’m selling it. But not for $200. Let me know if you’re interested. I can post on eBay or whatever to make you more comfortable
