Traxxas Slash 2WD (LCG) SNOW BASHING with PROLINE BADLANDS!! “The Cheapest Traxxas Slash” PROJECT!!

In this video I bash my Traxxas Slash 2wd xl-5 model that I dubbed “The Cheapest Traxxas Slash” in the Snow for the First Time. How did the 2.2 Proline Badland Tires Perform in the Snow??

[@gourobkundu2173]

That brushed motor is performing wayy beyond my expectation. Well done. Nice video.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Yeah it’s held up to all the abuse I’ve put it through!

[@josephplatania5593]

I build a sick snow track in my yard every winter. It keeps me busy and I have lots of fun. I just got traxxas cars recently after running wltoys a lot. They are fast and best of all tough. Stay well !!!

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks man! Sounds like a ton of fun! The Traxxas cars are definitely tough machines!

[@littlezeb777]

Cool video. I think the new 272r transmission would help with your diff issue. Comes stock with grease but you can change it out with oil. Even with just grease it has some resistance to help with the inside tire unloading. Keep your videos coming.

[@RCKnockout]

Glad you liked it! I’ve been running the 272R for close to a year now actually

Ripping it through the snow!! Love it!!

@@RCKnockout your welcome

[@AlineaEuros]

the oversteer in offroad and the tipping in onroad as well as the one wheel wonder with the 2wd slash makes me want to go after a 4x4 slash, but im not giving up on mine yet, i plan to get a hot racing sealed differential after i get my duratrax tires. So far i made the lcg conversion, upgraded to rpm suspension arms, put 35wt oil in the front struts and 40wt in the back, and replaced the springs with hot racing rally springs, handles rather better on the road this way, but it will still tip over if you push it hard. As soon as i feel content enough with the overall suspension and handling of my slash i think ill go ahead and make it brushless.

[@RCKnockout]

Sounds like you have done quite a bit to yours. I agree that going brushless will take the Slash to another level. It’ll be a completely different machine!

[@karrcrash9589]

@@RCKnockout I made my slash 2wd brushless with the Traxxas velinion motor and esc combo and it is so different to drive. Personally I think it was a good investment

[@RCKnockout]

@@karrcrash9589 I agree that going brushless is a must! 😉

Rip that sheeeite !!!! Now i gotta stare at my RC till tomorrow morning having an anxiety attack after seeing this. I think world peace is everone has a home, Nintendo switch, and a Traxxas Rc Basher. Ill bring this idea up to Father Ed and see what he says.😂

[@RCKnockout]

Sounds good! I could do without the Nintendo though lol 😂

Throw some proline power strokes on there.

[@RCKnockout]

They’re so expensive though

[@cbdfpv]

@@RCKnockout I know I just found the rear for 45$ on eBay. Just throwing ideas out there.

Hi

[@willzy9545]

Do the badlands give u more control on grass or gravel then the stock tyres

[@RCKnockout]

In almost all situations it has better traction than the stock tires. They especially dig in on grass I’ve noticed

[@willzy9545]

Thanks I’m looking to buy the badlands

[@RCKnockout]

@@willzy9545 no problem 😉

Here again, when you gonna put shocks on the jeep Nolan sorry if I spelled your name wrong

I’ve actually already put some pretty expensive Fox Shocks on my Jeep lol

Right on that’s cool!Do you have a channel for your jeep yet?
