RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
I am tossed up between the vendetta rally and the slash... I don't have a lot of offroad driving spots near my house, but I like the looks of the slash a lot.. seems like a nice car for on or off road.. but probably more fun off road..

RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
I keep trying to tell myself I dont want this one or the 1/16 e-revo, but everytime i see a thread about them and see pics i fall in love all over again LOL
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.

|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Thank You for the video link! And very sweet looking pic. The rims on the far left would look sick for that setup!</p> |
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Anyone need a brand new stock traxxas 1200 mah nimh battery and/or charger? Cheap price. Let me know.
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
The UPS guy came way late last night, so we didn't get a chance to try out our new mini Slash's until today. I really wasn't into cars because of all the Heli related things I do, but now I'm stoked about cars too. The stock battery seemed to last about 20 minutes with great power. I'm still going to have to make some Lipo saddlepacks though.I also noticed that thestock bumper is alot stronger than it looks :]
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Yeah alot of people are saying they are pretty fast on one battery...going to be a blast running two 6 cell nimh's....:)

RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
I can't find the online PDF manual for VXL slash. Anybody has a link?
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
here you go... http://www.traxxas.com/products/elec...7008_views.htm
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
the battery area on these cars is way to small, very limited on what size batteries you can use
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
I can get you a list of the batteries that will fit if you so need.check out the traxxas community forum..lots of people have them and the reveiws are coming..mostly good..one broken a-arm and one esc gone up in smoke...but thats going to happen with a new release and having a 50mph mini...

I like this slamed mini slash...I have the same Amsoil one on order...might havetoget a set of road tires for it too. I bet it would be crazy with some drift tires. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...y/msn/idea.gif |
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Personally, I'd love to see someone put the proline helios body on one (the warthog buggy from Halo). I think it would fit great.
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Those JACO foams look sick. Word is they handle amazing with these tires on the truck, onroad of course. Please give some feedback with your experience.
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
I have not ran those tires..i just found that pic and thought it was cool...
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
So does the tranny have plastic gears or metal?
What about diffs, are they metal? |
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
There are tons of discussions on batteries that will fit. How about some comments on durability, such as during jumping?

RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Well, I got my Mini Slash today and it comes with a completely different body then the ones in an above post.
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
It is the John Whelchel Edition. Now I just need to find the same body for my 1/10 Slash.
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Here are some pics of it.

RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
I'm still mad they couldn't get a Monster Energy body licensed for these things. The manager at my LHS is supposed to try to get an Amsoil one in for me. He was calling the distributors while I was there asking what they had, Great Planes said they had one in the computer, and it was the ONLY Slash they had left. So hopefully it was still on the shelf (sometimes things tend to grow legs and walk off (under someones arm [:'(] )). I'll know in a week. [&:]

RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Very cool I also have a Amsoil one coming......Still stuck in customs...I have heard that the slash has more lowend grunt and take off then the revo....not as stable tho..
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Today we tried one 3s 1320 MAH 20C lipo with the included high speed gear. Heres what I noticed: No overheating! An intense but manageable boost of speed without any noticeable drop in take off torque. It ran for what seemed like about 40 minutes. I dont have a temp gun and we werent timing the session with a clock but there is no denying the ability of the electronic components to handle lipo3S.

RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Good to know...thanks

Mine got here today...hope to get some runs in tommorow...few things i had to fix,nothing major,couple loose screws and the slipper was way too tight...
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
OH MAN, so I just had to order a slash (vxl)... my wife is gonna kill me lol. oh well.. I'll have to let her drive the thing prolly... oye! should be here soon... I have most of next week off also.. should be a blast!
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Took mine out today,used two packs in series....way too much power for the slash setup..well on pavement anyways...Fun as hell tho.
hard to get it up to 50mph without cartwheeling...After i wear out these tires i will have to find a different set up so i can do some speed passes with out flipping end over end... |
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
yikes... so it's pretty unstable at high speeds... well, that's kind of what I was worried about a little.. maybe it needs a front spoiler or something? I am contemplating which lipo to get for my car...
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
You cant even get it up to full speed without it cartwheeling....It was made for running on dirt and it does that well...just not verygood on pavement,but we kinda should have known that...I think it can be tweaked abit for road running..like lessen the pre load to lower the C of G and go to black springs and maybe add some more camber..etc.Road tires might help.
|
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
Well, that does make sense... maybe I should just get a 2s lipo for now for it and maybe add another later if I want to try ludicrous speed.. ;)
edit: ok, went with a 2200mah 2s for now.. getting the y cable via fleabay and will eventually get another same battery but for now I think this will be enough. :) one more: looks like the VXL esc doesn't have cutoff for dual 2s packs.. ugh. maybe I should have just stuck with nimh on this one. *sigh* |

I have a bunch of videos on my youtube. http://youtube.com/peowraaku |
RE: OFFICIAL 1/16 VXL Slash thread.
so aside from scary speeds the 4s works ok? using the 23t or lower pinion?
