isnt a jato just a nitro powered rustler? i bet the same principles apply....

Slo-V Flyer

Nope the Jato is a different chassis and setup. There already is or was a Nitro Rustler. I guess you could say the Jato is the next step up or evolution of Traxxas' nitro 2wd stadium truck, even if it's poorly configured for for off-roading out of the box.

FireFrenzy

well in that case... buy the arms and try to do the mod... keep us informed

Too many of the same bodies running around so I painted mine.

sweet bod nx! [8D]

nx113

Thank you! This was my first paint project. There are some noobie mistakes on the one side but overall I was pretty happy. I took my time and I like it. Now when I race stock class at the local track they won't get me confused with the other ones!

trackmaster

has anyone else heard about flipping the rear tires around to face backward what kind of track conditions is this used for im thinking loose unprepaired dirt

nx113

Depends on what slash you have. The new slash has the replica BFgoodrich T/A tires and they are the same backwards as they are forwards. The older slash tires can be swapped around and give different traction on loose surfaces. If you don't have to use the stock tires for racing a class, I would recommend the Proline Caliber tires. They are great on loose and dusty tracks.

HI guys, I just put a Novak ballistuc pro brushless sysytem in my slash. It still seen to be a bit slow. I also change out my spur to 76t and 26t pinion. I notice that when i punch it that the truck drop in back unlike the brush. I got this setup to in stock racing class. It also seen that my stock strike is about faster than my slash with the brushless both running 7.4 lipo. Any ideas out there that help me.

The Body is th Pro-Line Crowd Pleaser 2.0 for the Kyosho MP 777.

Just go to www.ultimatetraxxas.com and click on the Backslash project. All the components are listed there.

Really easy conversion. Lots of fun.

might be a touch wider than stock with the 17mm adapters and the 1/8 buggy tires.

ka350kaptain

Thanks man. It will be fun to put some paddle tires on there and take it to the beach!

Hey guys nice trucks quick question (although its probly already been answered and I'm just too lazy to look for it) what wing and mounts can/should I use on my slash, its mostly just for looks.

FireFrenzy

backslashers use the proline high downforce wing with HPI hellfire mounts... you need to do a little dremeling on the mount to get it to clear the transmision case but its foolproof and barring drilling 2 holes completely bolt on...

rc kid 93

OK thanks also i plan on getting some dish style buggy rims which ones should I go with if I want them to still tuck up under the body when the suspension is compressed without rubbing

does the charger that comes with the slash 4x4 have the capability to charge and balance lipos??

overrev

No the charger that comes with the truck is not very good. You will be better off buying a new one that does what you want.

MWShelton

Bought a Slash from Tower Hobbies March 3rd. Couple of weeks ago the radio quit binding. I called customer service and they wanted me to ship it back. I did. Customer service called while ago and said the radio was bad and they are sending the Slash back with a new radio. Have to give em credit, Traxxas has great customer service!

Hi guys, I got a slash and a strike. I racing my slash stock at local track. I like to know if i could change out my slash shock with the losi strike sock. And will this still e consider stock, my strike is 1/10 scale 2wd off-road truck.

overrev

aythomps
