Yes it would work as long as you run the slipper not the optional center diff. Also, take the axles out of the front. Then you'll be 2wd.

I dont really need to pull out the entire front, i just have to remove the center drive shaft so that the front rolls free, and i do run the slipper and not the center diff, i just wanted to know would it handle the same as a 2wd?

it8ezbngrn

Well if you leave the axles in, then you will have some resistance tne the front. The front diff is filled with 30K. So it will not handle the same as a 2wd if you leave the axles in. Also youll have more friction.

ahh i see now

*traxxasallfor*

i would like that alot better it would get better tractson too

it8ezbngrn

Should be the same

simplecj

4wd is way different from 2wd and really requires a different driving style. 4wd gets TONZ more traction. When you slow down or stop it loads on the front tires, with 2wd it makes braking very easy, with 4wd the front actually brakes. Apply brake too fast and you nose dive and it sends you flipping end over end.

I have both the slash and rustler on 3s LiFe and enjoy them both. After getting used to the 4wd, I think I prefer it. It's just way more responsive and way more grippy. Grip can make it seem more difficult to drive than 2wd, it's just a matter of compensating for the extra traction.

New Body and new Ten T shocks

hasek1616

do those ten t shocks fit right on with no mods? and would you suggest those over the proline powerstrokes?

losifiend

Yes and hell yes!!!! Just last night I ran it at the track while a guy with the Prolines sat looking at his busted $100 set of shocks. These run under $70. I got some other people to try them who had never owned a Losi before and they didn't realize that Losi shocks don't have the need to use heavy oil like other shocks do. If you get them use medium springs with oil no thicker than 35wt. I run 25wt in the front and 35 in the rear.

So is this thread dead?

Anyone here still have thier Slash?

Looking at upgrading to the new MIP heavy duty axles, the 6860X motor plate and the aluminum bearing adapter VS buying a SC8e. My Slash already hits 51mph on 3S why would I want to spend $$$ more to do the same thing? So farnew issues other than twisting axles.


Slash 4x4 PE, FLM stub axles, ESC fan, Motor heatsink and fan, Futaba S9351, Proline 30 series with Badlands, RPM arms, Lunsfurd TI pins.

Just ordered my slash can't wait to get into the electric game.

Hey Ive heard that simply swapping out the stock springs for a set of T/E-Maxx springs works good and will improve handling/jumping on the track, is this true? I race on indoor clay (LOVE it)

it8ezbngrn

Yes. Maxx red springs. That or some like the Losi springs. I'm a basher and I run on an MX track and the Maxx springs have seemed to work the best for me. I found that the losi's were too short or too soft. The Integy just were cruddy.

ITS ME DAVID

roughly how much do those e-maxx springs go for..

Here are a few shots of my 14RS body. I wasnt a huge fan originally, but wanted something different so I gave it a try. Not too bad...

wave waker

guys? thus jato anaconda wheels and tires will fit slash?..anybody knows?

ww

Krazy Chicken

yes just the rear off thhe jato, but use them front and rear on the slash

Freezetron

The more I look at that body, the more I want it. Its either that or the Desert Rat for my Slash 4x4s next body

wave waker

cool thanks...

hey guys, umm...this is probably off topic but, i'm ordering a lipo hardcase battery pack from hobbyking.com and a thought just occurred to me. the leads that the lipo hardcase has, they're not traxxas connectors, obviously. i was wondering what extra connector i should have to be able to fit on my traxxas stampede (pretty much a shortened slash as i'm told). i figured if i ask on this thread, i'll get a fast and clear answer.

res3567

I am researching as well....Ok....you can solder the leads...I guess....or go to this page on TH.....they do have some by Duratraxx that are all ready to go....

Solder connectors on, or u can get adapters, that store might have them. Fleabay has those bats with optional trx connector already on, cost more but chpr shipping and easy if u can't solder

Are you having problems with the stock servo? I'm actually surprised that as of a year now I still see no reason to upgrade it, it works pretty good,actually thinking of getting on put on my boy's xxx-t.

yotaman1991

How do you racing guys think you are gonna fair against these new losi and associated 4x4s, Honestly I'm worried some.
