I love my slash. My nieghbors hate my backyard course. Dusty, dirty, a whole lotta fun.

No les sobra una batería que me regalen 😒yo tengo una traxxas slach 4×2 gracias

[@ironman98]

For anyone reading this, just as an FYI. The audio system has an on-off button on the actual control box. You do not need to unplug it. Furthermore, it has volume up and down buttons on the box as well so you can adjust the volume to your liking. Lastly, the shocks that they were using are not stock. They appear to be blue anodized aluminum shocks from some aftermarket company.

@Bowie Samir I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@joeleugene9735]

@Bowie Samir it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !

@Joel Eugene you are welcome xD

I remember getting my first Slash 2wd, the original brushed version with the super high up chassis. That was my first hobby grade RC and I’m still driving it to this day. Although I’m not sure it can still be called the same car seeing as how almost every single part has either been replaced or upgraded.

[@wotwott2319]

"I SAID KEEP IT IN ONE PIECE! Do it again"

[@drumermp]

“I got no problem finding the wheelie zone” 😂🤣😂

[@spadds]

Thanks for making this - I'm going to get a slash this weekend after 30 years (OMG) away from RC cars!!!! It will be the slow one. That doesn't wheelie.... for a short time.

[@bronsondegagne961]

Did you end up getting one

[@cencoast_7.340]

Ha ha, same here. Bought a Slash after 25 years. Last one I had was a gold associated rc-10. I bought the "slow" one too...plenty fast for your average driver.

[@michaelgibbs6090]

U will love it mate they take a flogging and ask for more go Traxxsas not like old RC stuff that breakes every time U touch it I've really bashed mine I can't believe it is one peice still lol

[@trfpvVT]

I was just driving using one of my friends and it absolutely rips! It has a great value.

[@Greg-js1bk]

Your laughing and smiles show how much fun it is to drive RC cars.

[@SteveStokes1971]

Never driven a VXL but have the nitro 2WD Slash. Almost undriveable. But no need for the OBA :-)

[@ConditionZero76]

& to think the nitros rated at 50 mph the electric vxl rated over 60 plus mph lol Insane!! Like you I have a Nitro T-Max & cant hardly control the power, couldnt imagine 60 plus..

[@xdkfpjacob]

The vxl slash is literally uncontrollable lol

[@bassdrumflextime1253]

I have nitro 2wd slash its pretty easy to control it does have tsm tho

[@chadcoady9025]

I've got a slash 4x4, 2wd and a rustler, ALL VXL and they have all broke several times. Be prepared to upgrade plastic parts with aluminum parts. Still a blast!

[@HellTriX]

the traxxas sound kits have a volume control setting.

[@FenrirFire18]

Wonder how much batt life it sucks up on a 7.4v max capacity lipo

[@johnphillips3703]

@@FenrirFire18 nearly none. I used to race mine and the battery never got close to the lipo cutoff

[@ethanrichardson5168]

Also, you can control the tilt by holding the brake to tilt forward, or hold the throttle to tilt back.

[@christianweber4392]

Vxl is traxxas’ abbreviation for their velineon 3s brushless system. Ps velineon is just the name and it’s also manufactured by castle and is made to go straight to traxxas then traxxas uses it. Great vid!

[@vincentesquilin]

Air is getting trapped under the body. Make a few holes using a dremmel in the body towards the back. This will allow the air to escape and help cool the esc a little bit too. I'm sure there are a lot of guys who've done this to their stadium truck bodies on KZbin and can explain it better.

[@lowgrs1]

I am so glad you made this channel. Thank you for all the awesome info and demos for us on 4 wheels.

[@RobertNES816]

I wish I had bought the VXL 2WD instead of the XL5 2WD. But at the time I didn't think I'd enjoy the hobby as much as I am. I upgraded the motor and ESC to a cheap Gool RC 3900 kv system which isn't anywhere near as powerful as the Velenion system, but still has good top speed and allot more punch then the Titan 12 turn. But if anyones deciding on buying the XL5 or VXL Traxxas anything just get the VXL. You get adjustable tie rods, full ball bearings and a better radio system. This is all for about $130 more then a XL5 equivalent. The cost of upgrading an XL5 to VXL Spec just isn't worth it in the long run in my opinion. You get such a great deal and actually end up saving hundreds by purchasing the VXL model.

[@FenrirFire18]

Isn't it funny how you regret buying it over the other, yet have sunk lots of $ into because you love it anyways? 🎮😎👍 🚗💥

[@RobertNES816]

@@FenrirFire18 $45 isn't allot of money.

[@JarcodeRover]

The Slash is awesome!! I've just mounted the 4pole vxl system on it and i must say that even in training mode it's awesome! On expert mode it's ridicolous fast! I love how easy the maintenance goes, very well constructed and thought through. I should have bought this truck years ago.. compared to any other cars i have.. this is an utter good RC!

[@Grubbet]

Thats what I love about my Slash 4x4. You can smash the throttle and it just takes off, no flipping over lol

[@dnh3005]

A 4x4 whielies ands flips as much as a 2wd

[@Grubbet]

@@dnh3005 depends on your diff setup

[@dnh3005]

Robert Grubb yeah but dont say a 2wd cant do it

[@TheGamingTruckr]

No the problem is the air getting under the body. I have a 2wd that I put a castle esc and motor in. It would almost try to take off like theirs too. After doing some digging on reddit everyone recommended taking a dremmel and making a ton of holes on the back side of the body. Fixed the problem completely. I even had the low cg chassis on it and it was doing that.

[@svtford4212]

Just wanted to say I love the new channel I got planes and cars glad you guys finally combined both of my passions

[@orangerc2358]

I love you guys, I love these vids. I think it would be cool to see some specialist cars. We always hear “this is a great all-rounder” but what about “this is for racing and for racing only?” I have a neeeed for speeeeed!!!

[@jimedwards6267]

OrangeRC, maybe you need 6S power?

[@scarysamons]

get a wheelie bar for it to stop doing back flips..

[@SKIDOOSH]

Yes I can "SEE" the loud...lmao...love my Slash!!!

[@TheGospelGuitarist]

I ordered this truck and it will be in my hot little hands in two days. Thanks for the video I sooo much appreciated see it take all you threw at it. It is my first real rc truck, so lucking forward to it.

[@johnnyrocket5744]

Turned my 2wd slash into a brushless vlx3s with tsm and my racing skills sucked and now i absolutely love the thing

[@cruisey9857]

Dude, this video is chock full of awesome one liners lol

[@S197Matty]

I have an all carbon fiber, custom 2wd slash drag car running on 6s with no stability control lol. Its a handful, and I keep destroying transmissions. But its the most fun vehicle I have for sure. Its actually really stable the way I have it set up.

[@vomit4209]

Vxl (velineon extreme brushless power system) is the brushless combo that comes with the truck

[@Gantorin]

I don't what R/C item you are playing with... I could watch you all until the end of time. Entertainment gold!

[@nicklabonte9152]

This is a very different breed of flute test you guys talked about making another channel with rc cars and you guys did it keep it up

[@itzzgraham]

Dude that is so cool with the speakers! I’m getting the traxxas slash 2wd VXL for Christmas but I don’t think it has the speakers

[@fozzy71111]

70/30 throttle neutral helps me controls wheelies a ton but in most of my vehicles I then need the wireless module to dial down the braking with only 30% movement to use.

[@cruisey9857]

JFC, barely 3 minutes in and I’m ded laughing, the fly over was hilarious 🤣 . You got my subscribe after the “he’s got a jump set up, omg I said keep it in one piece!!!! Alright do it again…” lmao

I just got the slash vxl 2 wheel dfive is really fun im impressed

[@Drive_On]

great platform. I’m considering converting mine to a Porsche 911 rally car 😎

[@michaelgibbs6090]

I got a xmaxx yesterday waw I can't believe it what a monster makes my slash look tiny slash will be sitting

[@michaelramsey82]

I think I'll stick with my plain ol' brushed Slash, on the stock 550 Titan motor and NiMH battery. Wheelie-popping power is fun and all, but it's a bit much for me. Fun stuff though! Love the channel!

[@robertpinkerton570]

needs more TRAINS only problem is the stock motors burn up so often that it’s worth going brushless vs buying stock motors over and over

[@Spoogitywoogums]

Grab a proline Evo SC body for that, the sloped front hood helps keep it glued to the ground at full speed, and less parachuting

[@ethanrichardson5168]

VXL has Brushless motor and esc, also it has TSM.

[@wan3196]

Yeah the Rustler or Stampede is what I prefer but Hell Yeah those things are great.

[@ginniferbolton6451]

Drill holes in the body... the body catches the air and ask like a parachute If you drill the holes in the body it’ll let the air go through and you should be able to get your top speed much easier

[@PeterPiccolo]

u prolly already know now but there is volume adjustment w the oba... try throwing a hotracing locker in the rear will pull soo much harder w the vxl.. i personally have an xmaxx but also a monster energy edition slash 2wd with oba so im going with all green everything.. i think the castle creations mamba setup would be perfect and colormatch as well... although its prolly gunna be a darker green..

[@exauticz]

I bought a slash 4x4 vxl and I’m just waiting patiently for it

[@BlackWolf42-]

insane. I love the fact that at 40MPH it still does wheelies when you give it a stab.

[@kazmis1398]

For me the traxxas slash is going to be forever the best rc car because just the mix between the speed the suspension and the body makes is so close to perfection

[@BowlleuxMobile]

nice video this oba audio systeme sound very great i need to try one

[@theextremercdude8998]

You see me rolling and they hate it

[@henry06x]

Did you say “you almost went downtown north canton”? You guys in Ohio?! I’m from Orrville if so that’s pretty cool. Just picked up a used 2wd vxl today and like a true gung-ho’er threw the 3s in immediately instead of the 2s and it’s just stupid fast. My road doesn’t have a bunch of traction and it was leaving burnout lines in the road. Sidewalk was just an instant flip to the roof.

[@RheddFire]

Yep! I have the same thing with the 3cell

[@MCsCreations]

Wow, guys! What a beast! 😮 But that gave me an idea... What about an rc car with iNav? 🤔

[@lillywilkin8256]

THE BEST SONG IN MY LIFE. I will use it on my channel playlist!

[@novocaine009]

This was one of the videos that made me buy a slash

[@gumby9976]

Have you guys done a video on the Traxxas X-Maxx yet ? If not you should. If you think the Slash is fast the X-Maxx is twice as fast ! 70 plus mph !!

[@JohnDoe-rw7cn]

the rustler on 3s is even harder to get to top speed

[@Jeroen-Engelgeer]

You can set the volume of the O.B.A. (audio). It seems you are not so familiar with car r.c. too. But it's all about having fun.

[@DJDoger217]

My three Traxxas RC car suggestion. Slash 4wd VXL, 4 tec 2.0 (Ford GT and VXL) and Xmaxx 8s.

[@cookiemonster6175]

I don’t just want one now, I need one.😍

[@quadlife6282]

I have the Raptor slash and the stock titan broke so I put the vxl in it. I don’t have the tsm system and it’s not that out of control. It’s insanely fast though.

[@CDRaff]

Be really careful of the storm drains guys. I got myself a nitro truck about 15 years ago and my first day I accidentally went in the storm drain and was never able to get it back. Sad times.

[@chad9160]

great video. You should get a fusion body! I've never been a fan of the OBA... it wastes battery and is a wee bit fake for me. it makes it seem like more of a toy lol. imo 😁😀

[@andrewkaminskas7721]

I know this is a grave yard post, but the OBA doesn't use nearly any battery power especially with lipo. Even NIMH is fine, dont go spreading false info just because you assume

[@jakedaniels7896]

Nice, you should look at the ARRMA 8th scale lineup!

[@lakesidecrawler3511]

Jake Daniels your right i own 3 arrma's and have to say there are hell of fun to bash and at germany there are the number 1 basher brand 👍👍🤘

[@isaaclyonsf1]

Awesome, turned my 4wd slash into a buggy👍

[@RobertNES816]

Also as for saying SC trucks in general are good for bashing is kind of a false statement. Racing oriented SC trucks will do nothing but break if they're used for bashing. Brands like Traxxas and Arrma are more or less built for bashing with racing being more of a secondary thought. Although you can actually get the Slash to corner pretty well with just tire and spring/shock oil changes.

[@garyperkins3218]

9:26 I have one with s and a late model body hard as hell to get wide open got 53mph on my street

[@TheeRomanHD55]

one time I jumped my oba traxxas. So high to the point we’re it needed a new motor and gears. Most expensive jump. Ever

[@POULPY47]

What do you think about the 2wd and the 4wd ? Witch is better for a full throttle on road without flipping? Thanks for the vidéo guys !

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

This truck screams for a wheelie bar and a transmitter with throttle expo

[@quadleader]

What if you guys put a wing on the front to give it some downforce to keep it from doing wheelies? I bet you could get full speed out of the slash then.

[@alexh4273]

I once beat my uncle mini van with the rustler traxxas know their stuff

[@TheNutzandBoltz]

So I'm a day or two away from getting one for my 12 year old boy. I will not be getting the VXL. Thank you.

[@sammy_1_1]

VXL means it has a brushless system instead of brushed.

[@vectraB97]

Stock slash 2wd is absolutely not ready for racing. Swap to lcg chassis and sealed differential, better shock springs and it's acceptable for racing. My slash is probably 20% stock parts. No other kits I've owned needs more upgrades.

[@joerutkowsky3261]

The oba is a joke to traxxas. In the real hobby grade rc and race community. Traxxas has a "not a great rc rep" and this oba is just makes traxxas more like a toy not hobby rc just my opinion. The tsm is amazing feature on it .
