This RC Car Is Ready For Fast Passes! Traxxas Drag Slash Chevrolet C10 Review | RC Driver

10" Wheelie Bar? I'll bet you say that to all the ladies. Great review Greg!

The traxxas factory is litteeally down the road from me! Super nice folks!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Lots to like about this truck, some great features and that body is killer! 😎 And, no, you can't build this for $500, no matter what people say (you can't even buy the new diff!) BUT Losi and AE can sell you their RTRs for $100-$150 less! 😲

[@paulclancy2404]

Exactly 💯 guys spend little less building and look no way as good

[@thecoviellos1031]

And in the case of the Losi, for $100 less you end up with a body that's every bit as good if not better and a better more stable package IMO...that even has working lights out of the box. LOL I can't speak about the DR10 as I don't have any experience with that package.

[@beesod6412]

I love the look of this body, really excited to see more drag kits come out! Thanks for a solid review as always, thanks!

[@tinooo5240]

Love how you took it apart and showed what’s in it thx

[@BlueDually4x4]

Solid review as always, bummer the timing system wasn't cooperating. I agree the truck body looks good. But that price point seems high for a 2wd drag platform, the TRX4 Defender is listed for, four cents more on Amazon when I wrote this. Speed costs money, but I don't know its two speed transmission four wheel drive with remote diff locks money.

[@twinkitwinki-ok9qn]

That fade died out really quick😂😂😂

I raced one Saturday night and beat it with budget esc and motor, still looks awesome.

[@michaelwilson466]

I built 2 Slash based cars in the past year, they both cost me way more, obviously I could have done it way cheaper, but the ultimate goal is to race, not break, and win. Would definitely like to compare performance!

[@JDHitchman]

I don't have a problem with the sticker windows. I would not be putting any interior in it anyway.

[@codenamethecleaner7519]

The price is nuts for a basic truck, you build better and faster for same or less, like atleast give the Maxx 4s system in it, but traxxas doesn’t care about customer complaints like other companies do, they will leave it and still rob people.

Well trans but that’s all

I would have to disagree with tracks it's not caring about people's complaints !! BECAUSE ..... I bought the Traxxas X MAXX back about 5 months ago in December and I only had it for a couple weeks, I only took it out about three times and the battery fell out and stopped working I called the Traxxas and they told me that I would have to mail them in the battery with the receipt that I bought it you know when I boarded with date because I believe the batteries have a year warranty and I told them you know I only took it out about three times and the battery fell out and stopped working I called the Traxxas and they told me that I would have to mail them in the battery with the receipt that I bought it you know when I boarded with date because I believe the batteries have a year warranty, and I said well that's going to take about two weeks by the time I finally get a battery back that's not really fair to me I just spent all this money and the guy just sent me brand new battery all I had to do was email my picture of the battery along with the receipt

[@keatonspence3366]

If you plan on racing that in the stock class, I’d be careful with those tires. Mine are already wore out and there are no OE replacements. That being said, big daddys are the closest in size I could find and they hook well

What does the I phone have to do with the DSR-1 system? It operates off of the program and bluetooth with the traxxas program.

[@rcdriver]

The Traxxas program was designed off earlier iphone app programming and Traxxas stopped updating their app to work with it.

[@rubigaytan8049]

Can the tires in the front can be change as well or just leave it how it is

[@Grimps86Olds]

I’m seeing more and more RC drag racing which is awesome but I always wonder why people are not locking the rear diff. And I know these vehicles are based off of current buggy style chassis but has anyone tried installing a solid rear axle and not independent suspension.

[@gasolinediesel972]

People do lock the rear diff. Not everyone that buys this is going to race it so a locked diff wouldn't make any sense. You can't install a solid rear axle on this. You would have to remove the transmission and rig up some stupid motor mount.

[@bansheerider619]

many people do. Not one person in competition is "not" locking their diff. Most use JB weld to lock the diff.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Hi, my name is Tony, I saw that on your channel you Reviewed the traxxas slash drag, and the losi 22 camaro. I'm in the market for my 1st drag car which of those 2 do you recommend me to buy

[@Starkster50]

If you could only pick one would it be the Traxxas drag slash or the Losi 22S Drag Camero ? And why ? My opinion I would lean more toward the Drag Slash, wider slicks, trans brake. race tuned out of the box and optional speed pinion. Losi 22s didn't so much have much to offer other than a good looking car, so what's your take and it will be raced.

[@rcguygarage]

Price is definitely up there but this is Traxxas and in the end you do get what you pay for at times.
