[@mjrprojects9476]

That thing looks awesome! So much metal! It is gonna be indestructible!

[@RCHobbyFarm]

Hey thank you, I have been ordering a piece at a time for the last 6 months and it’s finally coming to life!

[@skylerdiaz84]

Where do you get all your parts?!

[@RCHobbyFarm]

I bought some on EBay, some local RC shop, and Amazon.

[@skylerdiaz84]

@@RCHobbyFarm sweet thank you 🙏🏽

[@skylerdiaz84]

@@RCHobbyFarm where did you get the aluminum batteryhold down?

[@RCHobbyFarm]

That is Integy.com, most of the parts are I Integy, arms, knuckles, hubs, shocks, shock towers, motor mount, battery stay, RPM bumpers, the aluminum diff covers are from eBay, axles are Integy also. Front and rear bulkheads are hot racing.

[@em13thirteen]

Where did you get the wheels from ?

[@RCHobbyFarm]

I found Them on Amazon.

[@204_mod_shop]

No driving clip ?

[@RCHobbyFarm]

I took a little break for a little over a year. I just need to paint the Body and then I can post a video of it running. It should be a beast with a 5200K motor on 4s!

[@TimMcVey]

You don't actually drive aluminum shelf queens. All show, no go...

[@daviddeleon7850]

Did you use any lock thigh?

[@RCHobbyFarm]

Some of the parts did come with screws that had blue lock tight on them but normally I do not, unless I have a issue with screws loosing like I did on my Maxx V2 front bulk head screws.

[@NiteShade_BZ]

Can you give me a link to the aluminum diff housings. Not on the diff itself but the covers

[@skylerdiaz84]

OK, quick question bro so I’ve been building my slash all metal somewhat similar to yours. I noticed my engine gets really hot. Is that because it’s too heavy now?

[@RCHobbyFarm]

Are you running stock Vxl or Brushed Traxxas motor

[@skylerdiaz84]

@@RCHobbyFarm yeah I’m running a stock Traxxas ultimate motor was originally a Traxxas ultimate 4x4

[@killerbassin]

@@skylerdiaz84 the vxl motors tend to all get really hot and have overheating issues, throw in a castle or hobbywing setup and you wont be disappointed

[@RCHobbyFarm]

I am running a castle motor and esc in mine. 5200k motor with a copperhead esc.

[@OswaldBeef]

@@skylerdiaz84 If you want all the power this thing can handle than you want a 1500 series castle motor around 2650kv on 4s. Sidewinder 8 or a mamba. You could also go hobbywing max8 combo similar KV on 4S

[@ryanramirez8568]

what side bars are those?

[@RCHobbyFarm]

Integy aluminum side bars.

[@Ziptietechnician]

Looks cool but doubt it woll be stronger that having some of the plastic parts. Aluminum bends. Plastic bends back.

[@RCHobbyFarm]

I completely agree, it’s more of a shelf Queen, I have a couple other Slashes decked out in RPM that will stand up to bashing.

[@TimMcVey]

@@RCHobbyFarm I'm glad to see you understand that... most don't. They sure do look nice though!

[@jerlefnut]

You need to buy some tekno rc and do video on it

[@koolkatgriff2239]

where did you get the chassis from?

[@RCHobbyFarm]

It’s a Traxxas LCG slash chassis bought it locally from hobby shop.
