My last RC car was a Traxxas cat from way back in 1987. I wish I still had it. I have been getting back in to RC again lately because I started getting a lot of HengLong RC tanks and decided I would get back in to cars and trucks. I recently bought an older Hot Bodies Lightning 1/8 nitro buggy but wanted to get another electric. After doing some research and having not driven the nitro yet, I wanted to get another electric so having remembered how fun I had with the cat, went for this one. I am glad I did. I love this truck!

I think the awd vxl would be a good move for ease of use because of the tsm. Use a 2s nimh battery on training mode for a low power then once you are ready, move to a higher power 3s lipo and even on training mode, the truck still rips

[@keithbutler6361]

Great video , I’ve just done a lcg chassis swap on my slash 4x4 and it was nice and easy to do so I might swap my slash 2wd to a lcg chassis next , it made a lot of difference on the 4x4 when cornering at speed far less roll overs so the lcg chassis was well worth the money and time to swap it over , keep the videos coming mate ...

[@mattfoster1684]

Nice detailed presentation of this LCG chassis mod. Been considering it for mine, though I'm not sure it's appropriate for my needs. I think my use warrants ground clearance over stability and all out speed, but it's definitely nice to see the whole process to swap out. Can't wait to see the drive testing with the LCG. Thanks Nolan.

[@RCKnockout]

No problem man! 😉 I didn’t really find the belly clearance helping very much. I feel like with the 2wd it gets stuck pretty quick regardless of the chassis. I guess I am comparing it to the 4x4 models which isn’t really a fair comparison.

[@mattfoster1684]

@@RCKnockout Yeah, beyond playing with gearing a bit, my next mods are likely to be that hack I shared with you to shorten the full extension of the shocks (little piece of fuel line on the piston, inside the shock so it can't extend fully), and heavier oil in the shocks as a method to quell that "body roll", which is quite bad and only gets worse as it goes faster.

[@RCKnockout]

@@mattfoster1684 nice man! It should perform a lot better then! I thought about doing that myself. I didn’t realize the fuel line goes on the inside of the shock though? I thought it was just supposed to rest on the shock perch and sit around the shock shaft?

[@mattfoster1684]

@@RCKnockout Yeah, he actually puts a small piece on the shaft but inside the bore of the shock with the oil, so it requires complete disassembly of each shock, which is a wee bit arduous. Basically acts as a stopper for the piston so it can't fully extend. Net effect is likely somewhat similar to the LCG shock modifications, lowers the ride height overall.

[@RCKnockout]

@@mattfoster1684 I gotcha man! Yeah if I did it I would probably go the easy route lol 😂 As long as it still works

[@RCDisiac]

First thing I did was booger grease my diff and installed my own sway bars and it prevented traction loss completely.. it still had a lil body roll but once I did the low cog chassis it did stay flatter thru corners

[@RCKnockout]

Sounds like a pretty good fix. LCG chassis is definitely a game changer. Makes the thing perform way better

[@rceskimo8229]

Sweet video. That really looks cool as it sits lower now. Now you should really consider getting an Arrma Typhon 6s or a Talion 6s. If you can do that to a Traxxas you can simply shim an Arrma vehicle. They are super easy to work on too👍🏼🔧 keep up the good work

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks my man! I do have a few rcs I really would like to get ahold of. If only I had the money lol 😂. I don’t know if my next rc will be an Arrma. I’ve had a very disappointing recent experience with Arrma. I don’t hold grudges but it’s gonna take a bit of time to get over.

I just converted my Rustler to this LCG Slash. Very easy swap.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah it’s not too bad and it definitely improves the handling quite a bit

[@brometheusthefirstbro4302]

Can a rustler stock get all the parts transferred over to a regular slash chassis? I know that slash bodies just need modification but i am curious specifically about the chassis just wondering

[@RCKnockout]

I’m not the right person to ask. I honestly have no idea

[@meademorgan6614]

You didn’t use the shock springs, or mention them. Are they different from what comes on the Slash, or do they have the same spring rating?

[@RCKnockout]

That’s true I didn’t…there was nothing in the directions about the shock springs if I remember correctly…it just included them in the package…I assume they’re a different spring rate

[@bombpoprc2023]

Hi, I'm 12 years old and I have a slash too. I am thinking about converting my slash into a monster slash and I watched other people's slashes and they kept the regular chassis. I want to get the LCG chassis so i don't flip over a lot and improve handling. Also I am going to put the ProLine Trenchers or the Traxxas Talon tires. So I just want your thoughts about it. Thanks.

[@liviosantarossa5970]

Ya though are you thinking of racing or just bashing cuz its kinda pointless to get the low cg chassis if your converting it to a monster slash cuz it makes it higher centre of gravity ;)

There’s isn’t any extra “ground clearance” with this chassis. Because the height of the bulkheads is the same regardless of LCG or not. This chassis should’ve never been designed. It just forces an upgrade part cost.

Thank you for this video btw!!

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah they should at least have a lcg option from factory

[@RCKnockout]

No problem 😉

Am I the only one who cannot just simply screw in my battery holder silver screw? The hole isn't even threaded for me

[@RCKnockout]

They aren’t threaded. It’ll make its own threads when you screw it in. Just make sure you’re screwing it down straight
