STREET TIRES on my Traxxas Slash 2wd!!

[@callsignmohas5190]

I’m just hanging out in my hobby room, working on my own Traxxas/watching this video. After seeing what you did at the three minute mark I decided to check my spur gear and I am so grateful I did because it was very loose Dude I have never seen one shoot out of the trans cover. Damn!

[@RCKnockout]

Glad it led you to check your own….I’ve never seen that happen before either lol 😂

[@theskronklbeep]

it happened to me too, it doesn't shoot out, it rubs a hole into the cover and simply falls off

[@RCKnockout]

@@theskronklbeep I guess that does make sense…it seemed to happen pretty quick though

[@JAYSCHULZE-i4g]

You got to get a 4x4 slash and upgrade it to a 6s with the street tires. and i promise that will not disappoint. i built one a few years back and it never disappoints.

[@RCKnockout]

I do have the “100mph Traxxas Slash”…that pretty much is a 6s on street tires…granted I’m running foam tires on it now…and I’ve never really used it for hooning…but maybe at some point

[@OGSook]

We need more tire swap videos! I want to see 2.8 anacondas or rustler 4x4 tires!

[@RCKnockout]

Maybe I’ll have to make more of these kind of videos….I do enjoy trying different setups!

[@BR-ef2ji]

The 1412 is a beast . Geared up some that will be a rocket.

[@RCKnockout]

No doubt! It’s a Great Motor!

[@cjchannel12RC]

Cool experiment with Hoons tires, although i think that slash had aluminum hub carriers in the rear and i think you need to use threadlock on them or else they'll work their way loose. But great video all together neat to see a 2wd Slash out bashing i used to have 2 of them but i sold\traded away both them.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah I used thread lock on them originally….I think I put more thread lock on in this video, I can’t remember…..I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video though!

The Slash is so versatile isn't it.! I've got the Slash Raptor 2wd & I've had it configured in so many ways with different bodies, wheels/tyres & motors, it always puts a smile on my face.!! 😁😁😁 I've just bought a new Proline 81 Bronco bodyshell for it, I can't wait to paint it up & fit it.!! 👍 👍 👍 Stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍

[@RCKnockout]

It sure is! That’s Awesome! Stay safe out there 👍😉

[@bricewires6876]

Definetly try the proline street fighters. They stay sticky and just driving at low speeds it picks up the small rocks in the street

[@RCKnockout]

I’ll have to check them out, thanks for the recommendation!

[@anarochrc986]

Sick rig awsome job on the video.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@Appel007]

omg. i really like the parkinglots in the USA. Its like a whole ''country'' if you see the size of it. In the the netherlands its just 100 times smaller.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah this one’s pretty good sized….a lot of space for activities lol

[@gyrfalcon-6]

ive noticed a common thing with traxxas vehicles is that set screw seems to back out a lot

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah that will happen with heat…the grub screws tend to back out…granted this is all Hot Racing Gears at this point…it’s pretty much the same across the board

[@maszkalman3676]

That's why in the manual says to glue them down

[@thunderbomb515]

With those tires were you able to make turns with slowing to a crawl? Mine is a stock 2wd Slash and it is a roll over machine.

[@RCKnockout]

@@thunderbomb515 yeah this one has the Lcg chassis so it doesn’t roll nearly as easy

[@thunderbomb515]

@@RCKnockout ok. I am going to order both. This is suppose to be an enjoyable hobby. I find myself getting flustered by the lack of stability. Need to change it up!

[@RCKnockout]

@@thunderbomb515 yeah it’s much more stable once you put the Lcg chassis on

[@MikeGray-ct6hb]

It's not uncommon for those arrma wheels to be unbalanced straight out the pack, especially after that much use, probly why they are jumping around like that. I actually made up my own wheel balancer because of that, works great too! Love the vids!

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for letting me know! I didn’t know that…that’s kinda surprising since the tires are pretty low profile but they definitely didn’t seem balanced when it was bouncing lol

[@MikeGray-ct6hb]

@@RCKnockout lol no problem. I've bought 5 sets of the gold and 3 sets of the silver so far and I'd say probly half of them where out of balance. I don't know if it's the foam inside doing it or if the tire itself just wasn't molded quite rite, but yea if u have good wheel bearings on one of your front wheels u can just put the car up on sumthing level and give wheel a little spin and it will settle with the heaviest spot on the bottom and then I use little bits of the Hudy wheel balancing putty. Just add small bits at a time until the wheel stops settling in the same spot. You'll notice a pretty significant difference like when u pick the car up and hit the throttle letting the wheels free spin there won't be any vibration if u get it just rite. But even if it's not perfect it will still be alot smoother. That also helps with tracking straight on speed runs

[@RCKnockout]

@@MikeGray-ct6hb ok thanks for the tip! I’ll have to look into that putty so I can balance some of my wheels

[@tony78028]

Where did you get the steel axels from?

[@RCKnockout]

Amazon

[@locus-801]

Yesir

[@RCKnockout]

Oh yeah!

[@slashraptor9317]

I’d say them rears are donezo bud

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah the rears are finished lol 😂

[@callsignmohas5190]

Just had a curiosity what driveshaft are you using?

[@RCKnockout]

I’m using some Steel Integy Driveshafts…they’re actually really strong

[@callsignmohas5190]

@@RCKnockout yeah I’m gonna have to get those in another set of RPM arms because the heavy duty driveshafts do not fit with the RPM arms.

[@RCKnockout]

@@callsignmohas5190 I gotcha….yeah they’re pretty good and reasonably priced…about $45
