Nice, good find!

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

hound54 nice find, are u planing to race it???

I like the EZ run combos, because for me they are cheap, I dont have the outlay for a full combo, I get say the ESC one fortnight then the motor the next.. keeps the wife happy too

Dont stress about getting a bad one, they have a warrenty, and the only problem ive had in 5 years, if one that is 5 years old the fan was getting very slow, but the upgrade yeah racing 30mm tornado fan fixes that... (highly reccomend those fans for anything... watch there youtube clip)
mind u for about a month i ran my slash with the fan not working proplary after 10min or so it would cut out(over heat protection) then after 1min or so would kick in again it was a cycle for a while. tuff little thing, well at least i know the heat protection works with out any damage

the main issue is people over gear them, but in a 2wd slash with SCT tyres u dont really have to worry about that.
In some of the other threads about other cars im active in, I havent seen any unhappy customers yet, only random stories on the net with no credit

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

i`m not a racer just a basher
turns out to be a thunder tech outlaw chassishttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif
anyone know if they are anygood?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

wouldn`t you know it i went to rebuild the shocks .....all broke down clean ready to go
uhm................anyone seen my shock oil?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

i cant find it anywhere
but i did find out one thing
my wife is right...i got parts in every room of the house

so yah
any suggestions on oil weight for mostly pavement bashing?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

If you are running mostly street and not jumping the roof of your house, I would say 50w front 35-40w rear

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Mostly  in home depot parking with street fighters and dollar store orange pylons<div>I was running 40 all around but I just might try that it can't hurt</div><div>It's just me and two other guys late night fun</div><div>
</div>

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

From a post I made on the previous page....

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

i dont have the pro one its the outlaw standard but from the few minutes i tested it i couldnt flip it with a 3 cell.....uhm shock oil you running?
also whats a good body that dont parachute that much?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

darn it i cant find that shock oil any where.....oh well of to the shop i shall go tomorrow

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

The one difference between the Pro and the standard is that the top plate is cut out on the Pro to lighten it. It's the same design otherwise from what I understand. You'l enjoy that chassis.

Proline and JConcepts makes bodies that will resist that parachuting effect.

If I'm not mistaken I'm running 30wt all around. But, that is not always the best set up. It was just convenient at the time.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Humm I would only go 30wt in the front with the single hole piston otherwise 40-60 range

I'm running f:50wt r:60wt with RPM twin pistons.. Works for me

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

so i went with 45 all around but it is a little to thick for me ....but it could be cuz it is cold out.it might be a good choice when the summer rolls around though. i think it was 30 in them before i broke them down cuz it was pretty runny.and from what i could tell it handled better with the light weight oil.now its stiff as a board so i geuss 30 will be going back in,the ride was just by the look of it way more moveable and just worked better with the 30
oops starting ranting lol

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Seriously??? Mine is the opposite?

I even found my front wouldn't pack and would dip into corners... And the rear was constantly bottoming out and had hardly any oversteer traction, and I'm a basher

That's odd, where are u driving it?

IMO they have the soft oil so when it's jacked up with the shocks bolted to the inner holes it looks cool and has heaps of un needed suspension travel to impress, not really good performance wise

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

My and my buds just make a simple L shape track with little orange cones in like super market or shopping center parking lots...mind you it is winter here. And maybe the oil is cold and stiff.plus I just got the truck together and needs to be tuned<div>
</div>

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

ok got the truck built
not sure if the venom esc is set for lipo cut off out of the box?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck

All i think what would of happened to a body if I was running one, would of cracked for sure...
well after some bashing with a hammer and a punch, looks like new, just needs a coat of paint. If anything its straighter now than it ever was lol
