Oh wow I think the setup will turn the Slash into a beast.😎 I'm looking forward to the first test video in the field. Greetings from Germany😁

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Yeah I think so too!

[@RonAdams777]

I'm so glad you're fixing this. Awsome!!!

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah me too!

[@CSL33]

Fun to watch....tks Firstly, even a mediocre basher needs a metal motor mount, certainly an ULTIMATE one should! IF you had an aluminium motor mount, it wouldn't have bent and thus allow the binding of your pinion against your spur. ---->Traxxas 6860R (7460R for LCG), OR Hot Racing SLF38X06 (LCF38X06 for LCG). Secondly, a center diff does NOT belong on a basher at all! In fact, it's the LAST thing it needs. It takes all the fun out of it, and mostly just lifts the front-end under power and blows-up front tires to shreds! At least use the heaviest diff lube you can find to put into it if you insist on using it as a basher, as opposed to a racer, who's simply looking to not loose traction in corners on a track.

[@RCKnockout]

Glad you liked it! I disagree on the center diff not belonging in a basher..it doesn’t belong in all basher’s but I find it handles better with it installed….also it helps save the drivetrain on hard landings better than a slipper clutch…to all their own though…as long as we’re having fun 👍😉

[@jimevans1809]

Lose the factory receiver box (unless you want it to swim. Cut your own mounting plate out of almost any stiff plastic, or some CF if you’ve got the budget. Hell, the receiver with fit on top of the servo.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for the tip!

[@thomasdowneyjr.4162]

Nice i had to move my reciver box to the front and i did mod 1 gears in my truck 24 /42 right now...

[@RCKnockout]

Nice bro!

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool video, I'm glad you got your slash fixed and sometimes when i'm shopping for esc and motors i try avoid the small shaft version if i can. I haven't been doing a lot of rc stuff recently but i have been planning to get my first full 5th scale a 30dn 5ive t clone or the new HPI Baja 5B Flux sbk.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah I probably should have gone with the bigger one to begin with…..this is the first time I’ve had a shaft break on me though

[@TriedWhistle]

You can mount the transmitter on the front of the car next to the front body posts there are already holes there so you don’t need to drill anything edit:just finished the video and you did what I thought of 😂

[@reconrc1787]

Finished system looks good though. She's going to scream with that setup.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! It definitely should!

[@percivale6511]

When you solder, are you using Flux? Flux will help you greatly when soldering, it makes the solder flow right to where you apply the heat

[@RCKnockout]

Yep I always do…it still seems to wick away from the actual wire..it’s bizarre

[@djcutlas1976]

I have that same spectra motor in my slash 4x4

[@RCKnockout]

Nice!

[@thomasdowneyjr.4162]

i also use 10lb velcro from lowes for my esc it works better then double sided tape...

[@RCKnockout]

Good to know thanks!

[@patty2Strk]

how's that center diff been treating you ? so done with the slipper clutches .. love your content 👍

[@RCKnockout]

Glad you enjoy it! It’s been working really well for me so far!

[@patty2Strk]

@@RCKnockout happy to hear it !

[@TriedWhistle]

Are you going to put in a metal motor mount to dissipate the heat better and improve durability? Love the videos keep it up 👍

[@RCKnockout]

We will see……glad you liked it!

[@RonAdams777]

I kinda like the spectrum combo package. Didn't you run a spectrum efc onto the 100 mph slash? I may go this rout. I want plenty of power and no heating issues. 4s power yeah baby.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah I ran a 4s Redcat system in that rc too

[@sniffles117]

You could of just ordered a new rotor from Castle.

I have the 6s firma in my slash its a monster on 4s and straight up Evil on 6s lol

good friend, a great video, could you tell me what wheels have you put on it and how do they work? those of origin are very bad... greetings from Spain!

Thanks! These are stock wheels with Proline Blockade Tires Mounted up

[@Cofishh]

@@RCKnockout and do you notice a lot of improvement compared to the originals?

[@RCKnockout]

@@Cofishh these tires are more for racing than bashing

[@reconrc1787]

do you have a 3d printer? if so print a mount for the stock location that will raise the ESC up about an inch or 1.25 inches. it will get the mounting surface above the receiver box. just my .02

[@RCKnockout]

No I don’t

Castle on off switchs inherently bad. C'mon castle

[@RCKnockout]

Agreed

[@TrollingHistory]

No thanks. That motor 1412 watever has proven time and time its too small. Gets too hot. Weak shaft. Castle seems finished. 10yrs ago every used rc on ebay came with a castle motor atleast but now people just buy cheap surpass hobby. Or hobbywing. The very best motor combo i had for slash was a direct fit 1/8 system and it breezed 55mph on grass never got hot. Leopard hobby 2700kv 4065 size with hobbywing sc8 esc the combo fits snug rx box std postion. But now that motor is really expensive was £70 imported now its £100+ and i cant find another 4065 motor.. 4068 is around 2650kv 2900kv i think 2700kv was perfect but 2900kv might be better more rpm its not a heavy rc. 3s 55mph balistic power. Ive got a new slash now somebody else built it. Ultimate start. Idk what combo it has but the cloest i can find is hobbywing xr10 i think but has huge add on heat sink fitted i cant see nothing and dont heve any tools for it yet lol. I sold up in 2020 but impulse brought a slash last week. The best RC platform around. Bcos its so versitile parts galore. Change afew parts and its a completely different rc car. But i 5mm motor shaft should be the go to. Especially when its failed you before.

[@RCKnockout]

I think Hobbywing has some really good products…I’ve also had good luck in the past with Surpass hobby motors…
