looks nice, but doesn't look like it comes with a locker for the stock gear box. hope it does, so you dont have to use jb weld or something else of the likes.

RE: Awesome new Slash conversion kit from RC4WD
 
can you even call that a slash anymore?
outside the shocks, bumpers, and tires most those parts can come from almost any of the 2wd traxxas vehicles ;)

Why would you lock the diff?

Whoops, nevermind, you meant the stock transmission.

From the looks of it you might even be able to use a Stampede for the conversion. It does look nice. How much is it?

Oh sorry, forgot the link:

It's $350 and due out in a couple weeks. Pricey but so is everything else they make. Quality is good though, practically unbreakable.

Would look nice with the new Desert Militia body from Proline, along with some nice tires and alloy beadlocks... [&:]

Sounds like you are thinking through your next project.

RE: Awesome new Slash conversion kit from RC4WD
 
that does look really nice! and that body is awesome....
Look forward to seeing some vids on this bad boy!

And I agree, looks like you only use front A arm, tranny, wheels, front shocks, bumpers, and body mounts. Hardly a slash anymore :p

RE: Awesome new Slash conversion kit from RC4WD
 
Yeah, thinking about my next while I still have stuff for a different one coming in the mail [&:] Freaking disease we have.

actually seeing the way they used the traxxas rear end kind of revived one of my other projects I've worked on for 8 months or so that I was just going to completely scrap
Been having an issue with a center diff for it saw this ripped off my pedes rear end and it will almost bolt up perfectly(after I drill a holes in the diff it will), and the dogbones length is absolute perfect too :D
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS :D

Now I have 3 projects I'm working on, and going to be ordering a 4th in a month :D

I swore I would take it easy when I 'eased' back into the hobby... I have already picked up a number new toys...

You're welcome :)

When you think about it, for those who already have a Slash $350 for an almost entirely new vehicle with top quality parts isn't bad.

Casper06 10-05-2010 07:24 PM

RE: Awesome new Slash conversion kit from RC4WD
 
So if I ordered this alone I would only need a few parts from the Slash to get it going?

- Bumpers
- Front shocks
- A arms
- Tranny
-Wheels

Is that all? If so I am in it looks nice especially with the shell.

RE: Awesome new Slash conversion kit from RC4WD
 
front bulk head, front shock tower, and body mounts are three more that i see in the pics

and of course wheels tires, and a body

Geebus, some folks are made of money.... $349 is just a teeny weeny little bit more than I'd want to pay, perhaps $200, considering I have to reuse my own Slash parts, I can't see how they can justify that inflated price.... most of their complete roller 4x4 scale trucks cost less than $300. But oh well. Nice to see more scratch built options at least.

Lilredmachine 10-06-2010 07:09 PM

RE: Awesome new Slash conversion kit from RC4WD
 
Meh, price is ok. You see the words 'Billet' and 'RC4WD' in the same sentance and it's probably going to cost 300 bucks whatever it is. Thing is, there are a lot of people that will pay that, and that axle is going to be sought after seen as how it's obviously Slash width... Which also means it's SC10 width... And Ultima SC width... Proper scale SC racing anyone?
