RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
I am new here and new to RC in general so I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge. I recently purchase a Traxxas Slash 2wd and took it to my local dirt track to have a little fun on some jumps. I noticed after i ran it a couple times that it now pulls to the left pretty quickly. I am able to overcome most of that by adjusting the steering trim, but I 'm not aure thats the proper way to correct it. What should I look for that could be causing this issue? Any help is greatly appriciated!

first thing i would say is unscrew the servo horn turn on your truck so that it resets and then reattach it, if that doesnt work make sure none of the parts are broken

I have absolutely no idea how to do this. Again, I am a COMPLETE novice. I did my best to look over all the moving parts and I noticed and noticed that the rear A-arm, or at least thats what it looks like to me, has a main connecting screw that is very loose and has almost fallen out. I also noticed that the car turns very sharp right, but does not turn as sharp to the left. Does it sound like this might be something related to the servo?

Have you taken off your tires to check out the bearings? you could have something stuck in one wheel that is binding

Check that the steering posts haven't slightly popped out on the underside of the car. If so, just slip them back in and it should be good to go

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
I get my tools off ebay, dynamite brand hexs. The most common size on the truck is 2mm, but you will also need a 2.5, and a 1.5. I would pick up two 2mms because I use it so much I wear them out ( I rebuild weekly ) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dynamite-Hex...item2a18ccdd9b

Wow! That's awesome! Thanks for the link. I have some work to do this week. One question...Where can I get the right tools to work on these trucks? Every tool I have will fit my actual car, but nothing this small.

| 7 | 71285A172 | 1 Each | High-torque Hex L-key, 2.5 Mm Hex, 3-1/2" Length |
I think Iwould like a set of screwdriver-handled drivers where the hex part is only at the end, but for the money these can't be beat.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
Very tired of my floppy, ugly, shot-up, unaerodynamic, stupid-looking SC body. Can I get some advice on something more along the lines of a Rustler body? Will a Revo body fit?
