RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Got my rustler VXL converted yesterday.
I still need the rear A-arms to keep the tires inside the body.
I'm gonna make a custom rear bumper out of 3/16 brake line.

This thing is so much fun!!

How did you get your 8 shooters on the front? I haven't found a way without grinding down the caster blocks and using spacers to space the rear carriers and even then its very tight.

Looks awsome dude, i like the pait job clean lines. [sm=thumbup.gif]

not sure what you're asking?? these are the axial 8 hole beadlock wheels

They fit right on and space the fronts out perfect (tire barely misses the fender at full stuff)
the rustler has slightly extended hexes in the front, I think

hopefully, with the slash rear A-arms the rears will fit under the fenders too

Thanks, the paint leaked under the mask in a couple spots, but it's definitely not noticable while driving around.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

yeah i want a truck that i can drive around by my house then pick it and bring it to the track but i cant do that with the rustler

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

WHATS THE HOT SETUP SUSPENSION WISE OR ANY OTHER THING FOR A STOCK SLASH IN THE STOCK CLASS??

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

I beleve there about about the same size and if you are running in the stock class there isnt any problems running around your house then the track.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

1st off taking in caps is like yelling. As for your question suspension is all up to you and how you drive.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

well i would want to mod it

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Mod all you want, but most classes for these are "Stock Class"

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

well what cant u mod on it

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Anything is possibal i guess. There all kinds of alum parts, and lots of DIY stuff. Its just like any other RC out there.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

At my track, the "best" setup was stock shock mounting positions, stock pinion, 35 wt shock oil, 3mm preload spacers(2nd thinnest) up front, and 8mm spacers(thickest) out back. This is for a short, bumpy track with iffy traction.

can a slash use a 7 cell battery? if so can it use stick or hump

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Yes and yes for both

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

The both look good, the yellow/red a bit more then the green.

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

How do you make the traxxas on the tires show up? do you just paint them with white paint? or would white-out work?

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Take your time with white out should work...might not last or get a paint marker from LHS or craft store.

The "DeWALT" truck!

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck
 

Broke mine last friday.
landed from about 3 ft up onto the left rear tire and broke the chassis where it mounts to the gearbox and broke the rear skid. The body mounts and motor wires were the only thing holding the back end on.

I've seen these things take way more punishment than that on youtube so I'm a little dissapointed. any ideas? I have a new chassis and skid on the way and I think I'll epoxy the joints this time for a little more strength. I'd rather break an A-arm than a chassis.

I used a q-tip and white hobby paint, make sure you dont overload the q-tip. if you make a mistake just use the blunt edge of a broken tooth pick to fix the edges of the letters so the look crisp.

Looks awsome dude!!!
