Traxxas Slash 2wd VXL - Proline Blockade M3 Compound 2.2SC TIRE TESTING at The RACE TRACK!!

[@carloswright]

I love the dirt track. I just like to drive in general, but there is just something about a 2wd slinging dirt.

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah it’s super fun! It makes it even more challenging with a 2wd machine as well

[@darrylnicholas6691]

😂 in 🇬🇧 they call them kids that are at the park zombies 🧟‍♀️ lol 😂

[@RCKnockout]

Oh is that the term? lol……I’ve heard Kevin Talbot refer to them as “zombies” before lol 😂

[@markmccullough6873]

Great job young man!!! Love your videos.I see the race track in in a park that pretty cool to.You should see if you and maybe a couple buddies beef up the the banks on them turns.See you on the next one.Stay Safe Stay Healthy!

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Yeah the if the banks were a bit steeper it would be easier to enter with more speed

[@ghsteagle5567]

Price wise would you recommend Badlands or Blockade for someone who basically wants to off-road with a small chance of racing?

[@RCKnockout]

Badlands all day long

[@SpeedSyko]

The dust looks cool! Great driving!!!

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks!

[@rogueFactor]

man this made me start deep digging for a video I have of my 2WD VXL parachuting in the wind and literally floating. 😂💨 wish I could find it! these tires are nice. I want to try them out on my Senton 3S

[@RCKnockout]

Nice! Yeah these tires do work amazingly well

[@gearhead2017]

My next truck is the brushed stampede 4x4, cant wait but it's getting cooler because winter is coming soon on the east coast and composite plastic doesn't do good in the cold,it becomes brittle,I know lol! Was racing the bandit in the snow and saw the neighbors had a snow bank on Their driveway and went for it and hit the snow bank and snapped the camber bar,luckily had a spare and next day? Went out again but kept it in the driveway,last time I raced was back in the early 2000s when an old friend gave me his Tamiya grasshopper w everything including the charger and remote,raced it at the apt complex I was livin at til the rear went and lost interest in the hobby til I moved to where I live now and decided to get back into it but assumed rc cars/trucks went out of style and looked for websites that had trucks and got a wheelie king(that was a tough truck to beat up) I was totally wrong about rc cars being a fad,there are clubs that race in pa (I'm in nj) but yeah I want a stampede soon

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah rc is definitely making a wave….I think it’s probably good for the youth nowadays since so many of them sit insides playing video games…getting outside would be good for them…so you want to get a brushed Stampede rather than a brushless version?

[@gearhead2017]

@@RCKnockout yup,or the 1/16 scale e revo,there's options out there for sure,yeah I gave up the video games a long time ago like when I was idk 19? I played mature rating games,didn't care for the ones that were role playing games and stopped altogether when I grew up and had responsibilities to do(I'm 55 now) but yes totally agree kids today play games almost 24/7

[@RCKnockout]

@@gearhead2017 yeah it’s great for Gaming KZbinrs I guess lol 😂…probably better for kids to get outside though

[@cuzexa8612]

Love the videos keep them up

[@RCKnockout]

I’ll try my best! Thanks!!

[@ethannunley1205]

That binding noise that you hear is the shaft that goes through the whole clutch is bent. It happened to mean and if finally figured it out so just letting you know

[@RCKnockout]

You think it’s bent? It’s hardly been run… is yours the Proline Pro Series Transmission as well?

[@YTNATAS]

I think that noise is from the optional gearing he put in. mine sounds the same and I just put the optional gearing in today.

[@RCKnockout]

@@YTNATAS I don’t think it has anything to do with the gearing……this doesn’t have the optional gearing in it actually…I had to get another pinion to work with this transmission….the noise is definitely coming from the transmission

[@RC_guy667]

How do you keep it from backflipping on a straightaway with a 3s battery in it lol.....

[@RCKnockout]

It gets a little rowdy on 3s but the straightaway is so short it doesn’t really have time to wheelie lol

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Sweet rig and bashing

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!!

[@jobvanwijngaarden4115]

Nice video 👍

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks!

[@carlobell2558]

We’re these the newest ones from the Chinese ones?

[@RCKnockout]

No these aren’t Chinese….these are the Proline Blockade Tires

[@carlobell2558]

@@RCKnockout I know, it I thought you had red wheeled ones that the tire kept coming off.

[@RCKnockout]

@@carlobell2558 yeah I took those ones off…..I still got them though

[@YTNATAS]

was this on the optional gearing?

[@RCKnockout]

No…it’s running 32p gears….so the gearings completely different…not sure what it is off the top of my head

[@YTNATAS]

@@RCKnockout any reason that you took out the faster gearing that traxxas gave in the box? I just put It on my slash 2wd. Do you think that I should keep it on?

[@RCKnockout]

@@YTNATAS no it’s good gearing…..I had to swap it…I have the Proline Pro-Series Transmission which has 32p gears so the stock 48p gears won’t work

[@bpace1204]

Gotta figure out a better recording strategy cause it effects your driving ability when trying to drive with one hand, but still enjoy the videos so keep it up 👍

[@RCKnockout]

That is very true…..it definitely does effect it

[@verynick]

Can you do “Cheapest Slash Drift” please?

[@RCKnockout]

Drift Slash?

[@verynick]

@@RCKnockout yup lol I want to turn my Slash to one so bad

[@RCKnockout]

@@verynick not sure how to make a designated drift slash? For pavement?

[@swololikesolo1625]

@@RCKnockout Probably just mods to make it drift easier, Like a tire change. Maybe rally tires?

[@RCKnockout]

@@swololikesolo1625 not sure….I think it could be a cool build though

[@OswaldBeef]

good info! Save the pacing for the track my dawg, you dont need to pace with your speech. Far more can be said with far less

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks man!

[@joshuapacman]

Try a sway bar

[@RCKnockout]

It already has the low center of gravity chassis which has helped tremendously with handling
