I love that it uses jato arms. I have been using those for long travel on my slash for a while. Should do a video of that for people.

[@msdos32]

I've found the slash to be one of the most versatile platforms in RC. Very easy to build just about whatever you want from it

[@urineanimal]

Only versatile due to a similar psychological process of sexual repression traits driving people with 1 extra IQ point above average to moddify these weak platforms to come 1% closer to everything else that is way cheaper, far more durable and faster out the box. I really wonder.... what level of financial fraud the parent company engages in to keep from going bankrupt. Maybe not.... after all, the customer gets what they pay for lol.

[@rattlehead7281]

@@urineanimal oh a traxxas hater

[@urineanimal]

@@rattlehead7281 XO1 and Xmax are pretty much the only ones worth paying for. Everything else falls short and is inferior to other similar class of rc. And well, i can make one more exception for that nitro awd street car i forget the name with a 3.3cc or similar engine?

[@rattlehead7281]

@@urineanimal some arent that good like the bandit but the design is quite old. The stampede alright. But in my opinion if your looking for an afordable basher id have to say the slash. Its a great basher with a few upgrades (shock caps) and can be fun for spec slash racing. I own a brushless slash 2wd and its good fun. May not be the greates track car but it is a decent basher. Also got a tmaxx and i love it. In the last bit are you referring to the nitro 4tec?

I built my slash Dragster from a brushed LCG 4wd model. I locked up the front diff and used the shaft and a servo as my line lock. It works pretty good .... For what it is. It also allowed me to displace the weight of the vehicle better.

[@Largetalons]

Yes

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

You had me all the way up to drilling holes in the top of the body for the speaker mount. I would’ve gone with Velcro myself as well as Velcro for the body mounts for a more authentic look. It’s too bad there isn’t a way to narrow the front end for a more realistic drag work and getting rid of some of the negative camber on the front end would be ideal.

[@nwhuckin7761]

I did something like this years ago a rustler. Narrowed the track width with str4 arms if i remember correctly. I do remember that an hpi savage Cuda body fit perfect when I was done. All metal transmission, fiegao motor and a hacker esc. Kinda wish I had kept it that way.
