Top cost effective Upgrades for Traxxas Slash 2WD. Best sellers for 2018

[@joseCalderon1976]

This guy has to be one of the most honest sales guy ever. Such good advice! Thanks!

[@echris9645]

Needed a new hobby and have always been interested in RC cars since I was younger. Just bought a Slash as my first car and want to eventually upgrade it.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Welcome to the club and have FUN!

[@donrowe7194]

to start out this is what i would up grade. my slash is a 4x4 and already came lcg equiped but alot of the parts are simular. 1st 4 upgrades i would recomend : aluminum shock caps, sway bar kit, and lcg chassis (if not already equiped from factory) and a lcg chassis brace. the sway bar kit makes a massive difference on my 4x4 truck's driveability. i agree 100% with your comments about aluminum a-arms and shock towers....it looks good but unless the truck is a shelf queen those upgrades are JUNK and will get bent up pretty fast. steering upgrades are next on my "to do" list. thank you for this video, take care 🙂

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts the tips 👍

[@mickob8160]

Best mod I did to my slash was make my own front sway bar. Used a pair of short turnbuckles a couple of bolts two zip ties and a bmx spoke.

Great video I have over 50 vehicles and the slash is still one of my favorites I always recommend it as a first Rc to buy.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks David! 50 vehicles sounds like a lot of FUN! Slash is our #1 seller!...I've never seen anybody complaining after buying their first Slash! Usually they come back for more speed or run time, but always with a smile on the face😎

My 2wd slash is two years old and I still have the stock servo, and I run it hard when I use it. Other than that, all good tips thank you.

With high torque aftermarket servo your steering speed/control is going to be different. Thanks for the comment, though!

Yup. Illinois guy here. I'm getting into the hobby for racing and starting off with a Slash in the Mudboss class especially because it's became pretty popular here to according to my buddy who has raced RC pretty much all his life on and off. Cant wait for my truck to show up Tuesday along with some extras. He's going to help me at the track while he runs his sprint cars. Absolutely cant wait to start driving and learning as much as I can from everyone at the track.

I agree with most of this great advice. except having aluminum arms I haven't had any issues at all bashing the hell out this car flipping the car at 60 + on the street going off jumps and all. the plastic arm's are cheaper thats a giving BUT they broke easily and so did the bulk head and that nylon bar that connects in the front of bulk i dont know the proper term but i got aluminum arms aluminum bulk and swapped that nylon bar for a aluminum one as well and it was the best upgrade i ever did even have aluminum arms in the rear and used 4wd axles in the rear because there thicker then the 2wd ones. All of this with a sidewinder esc and 3800 kv motor lower spur gear and bigger pinion gear this slash has been a beast haven't had to replace anything since i put aluminum parts on. Aluminum is the way to go IMO 👍👍👍👍

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks a lot for your feedback and good luck with your built!

[@RobertNES816]

I decided to keep the original chassis on my Slash since I like the scale look that Traxxas went for with the body roll and suspension movement. I went with RPM's front bulkhead, nerf bars, spur gear cover and front and rear skid plates. I also upgraded to Traxxas Big Bore shocks just for looks and added strength, plus the anti friction coatings help a little with response. As for the stock servo stripping out well thats a given since people beat the piss out of these trucks lol. As for the motor since I have the XL-5 I replaced the stock titan 12t 550 with a Dynamite 12 turn 550. Its got more low end and mid range torque plus a higher topend speed. Its pretty impressive for a cheap motor!

After fixing my truck i took it out yesterday. I run a Velenion 3500 with a 3s lipo and that thing flys. I grab my dad to show him how fast it goes now and after one pass i go to slow down and my car just goes flying in the air. It breaks off a hex and snaps a rear stabilizer clean in half. I just fixed my slipper clutch and steering servo 5min before and its already broken again. It also takes days for parts to arrive since amazon is trying to help get people priority items. Out of curiosity do you guys ship? If so how long does it usually take? (Im located in MI).

If I upgrade the servo, will the servo savers last longer? I am just getting into the hobby and my Pede keeps popping savers because I don't know how to drive and avoid obstacles obviously. Thanx.

[@stpbasss3773]

No they will die faster upgraded servos have metal gears and even if you drive perfect you will strip the plastic servo saver's just go get an aluminum arm for 10$ and don't drive on street with curbs around lol.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks for your question (its actually a good one). Before you even upgrade your servo we recommend to change stock servo saver to something a bit more capable. Stock servo saver was designed decades ago for different speeds, loads, abuse and servos. These days with high speed/torque digital servos one needs to modify other elements of steering mechanism to match servo's performance. Upgraded servo saver will let you adjust it to your style of riding (even if you keep bumping into curbs).

[@jackg12128]

I have a brushless 2wd slash and I'm new to the hobby. 2 weeks in, the only upgrades I have on it is one rpm rear a-arm (i have the other one ready for use if needed), a replaced shock and the aluminum shock caps. I drove it today on full speed for the first time since I broke the a-arm, I abused it pretty heavily on my local track (doing jumps and not lading flat, rolling over, driving off the track into the pits 😬) and when my battery ran out, nothing broke! I'm surprised at how much a couple upgrades can do for the durability! I'm definitely gonna get the low LCG kit cuz on the track I'd either spin out or stop completely, or run off the course. Should I upgrade the shocks as well and if so what should I use? Someone I met said to get the proline shocks but those are way out of my budget. And lastly, am I gonna need to replace the servo? Thanks!

[@Rcstreetshop]

Hey Jack, yes, we recommend changing stock servo to better servo as it improves the way you feel your truck and control it. However, with shocks, you can get away with stock shock as long as you set the rebound and re-build them

[@jackg12128]

RC Street Shop what does rebound mean? And by rebuild you mean take it apart and put it back together with new oil? And will the servo help with my spinning out problem or will I need new tires and if so what would you recommend for driving on road and at the dirt track? Or maybe just a cheapish set of track wheels I can switch out?

[@Rcstreetshop]

check our video on how to set rebound and yes, re-build means taking it apart, changing worn components and oil

[@jackg12128]

RC Street Shop sounds good! What about the wheels and will the servo help?

[@Rcstreetshop]

Right wheels/tires improve handling and acceleration dramatically and no, servo won't help with spinning out but will improve control over the stock servo.

[@matrushhd2]

I like most of this, but i recommend aluminum castor blocks. The RPM castor block bends too easily, allowing the pin the bend. This does not happen with aluminum castors.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks for the tip!

If your $100 makes them even better (chassis, shock caps and servo were my main takes) then sign me up Roger! Out of interest, what brand battery would you recommend to use in one? Venom? Traxxas? Thanks and stay safe!

[@paulstallings6804]

I got my 2wd slash 10 years ago and its still going strong. I went custom which is loads better than aftermarket parts built to same geometry specs as stock. I'm not one to make videos but I'd love to spread the knowledge of how to build a long travel roof jumper on the cheap. Main thing is to get control arms from different models and run longer shocks front and rear with coils doubled up

[@stpbasss3773]

The LGC chassis is such a huge improvement it's insane I did it last but I should have done it first. The biggest problem I had was the stupid tq transmitter and receiver it sucks so bad just throw it away and use any other transmitter receiver combo, I use a redcat one in my slash and in my trx4 sport that came with the same transmitter I swapped out for a ecx barrage transmitter and receiver. I'm sure the more expensive Traxxas transmitter's are ok but the stock generic tq with just the steering trim is absolute garbage and I have never use such a bad transmitter/receiver it's funny my exc and redcat transmitter's are 10000 times better on range and have all the options to dial it in and they both came off 140$ RCs lmao, Traxxas can at least give you a transmitter worth a damn since there RCs are not cheap.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Investing in electronics is really a good way to save yourself a lot of headache. Traxxas uses really simple transmitter/receiver, obviously with cheap components etc. That affect the performance. Big time. Changing stock Transmitter/receiver may cure a lot of small problems problems and advance some important stuff such as speed, accuracy, ease of adjustment etc

I want my truck to behave like a real short course truck , good and bad . The realism is what attracted me to RC trucks . I'd like my truck to roll and squat etc. like the TORC trucks do , so I don't want the LCG chassis .

@@Rcstreetshop Question? What is the Offset of the stock wheels on the 4tec2.0 front and rear?

[@xx_ghostrider2285]

I have a 7.4V battery. The operating speed for the servo is 4.8V-6.0V. Can I still use it being I have a 7.4V battery. I am very new to this hobby so I apologize if that's a stupid question lol

[@calebworland967]

You should recommend traxxas GTR shocks for people also if they have the money. Instead of shock caps you can sell the stock shocks for $10-20, drop the $80 on GTRs and never worry about shocks again. I bashed mine super hard, smashed into a pole and broke RPM stuff but the shocks were perfectly fine. My fav upgrade on any 1/10 trx

[@ISLpictures]

Just got mine. Love them. I have the rears all around. Best upgrade.

great video, love that shirt

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thank you 👍

[@harrychattaway629]

How much are these upgrades where your shop is? I live in canada and was wonderong what the differences are. And if i could send my truck to be upgraded to full out race worthy?

[@Rcstreetshop]

They worth $100. Give us a call 562-425-9000 we will be more than happy to assist with picking up right components etc

[@jamesj.]

great info... sure it can apply to other models as well except for the LCG chassis...

[@stpbasss3773]

Actually you can put the lgc on a stampede or bandit or ruslter but it pretty much just turns it into a Slash but I've seen it done before

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thank you. You're 100% right, many Traxxas 1/10 scale models have the same exact components, so these tips will apply to pretty much 70% of all Traxxas vehicles.

[@vonnrolle4827]

Can the magnum 272r be hooked up to TQi speed sensor

[@Rhoads6257]

What servo do you recommend since you stopped carrying the Protek ?

[@Rcstreetshop]

We didn't stop, Protek is on the backorder from the manufacturer because of COVID19. We still have 130T in stock (it is $89.99)

[@the_goat_himself2541]

I put my slash through some massive abuse with brushless and 3s lipo, only upgrades were aluminum caster blocks and upgraded half shafts I’ll be putting together a montage video of some of that abuse, check it out!! 👍

[@Rcstreetshop]

Sure thing!👍👍👍
