Awesome video...and a well tuned vehicle....mine is coming from traxxas and I will be racing it in the parking lot setups from the Hobby shop...thanks for the tips...I guessed at the shock oil when I bought some and I guessed correct ....
What type of screws are found on these 2WD Brushed XL-5 cars? Are they Hex head or Phillips head? Do all the the Traxxas 2WD brushed XL-5 cars always need to have the blue antenna stick out of the body shell? Or can you keep them under the body shell when driving? thx
for a stock ++ build i would get a vxl 2wd slash then put on the low cg chassis, new tires (pro line trenchers), new suspension, motor/esc cooling fan, body lift kit, and then some durability items like rpm castor blocks, rear bumper, new A arms, and bearing carriers. Do you think that would be a good build? It is expensive being around 800 dollars including the truck, but is that worth it? I looked at two shocks, these pro line shocks being around 140 for a set and one set on amazon GLOBACT set of 4 for 25 dollars, both are aluminum. The question then becomes, do I need upgraded shocks or at least aluminum shock caps?
@@TheHammer for that kind of money, you can buy a trx 4, a battery, charger, and a scale winch for the same price. A UDR is 750 and with a battery/ charger setup is around 900ish but that is stock with no upgrades to grip or durability
@@charliemaybe I mostly race 1/8 scale buggy. I only race the "Spec Slash" class cause it's a "box stock" class. Everyone races the exact same thing and it's a lot of fun.
In the box, my Slash 2wd was having 4 identical tires, didn't know the rear ones are supposed to be different than the front ones :( An other thing that s*x with Traxxas, empty oil shocks and they don't give a single little bottle of oil for them :(

hands down one of the best rc cars ever made.
That’s a really nice track, that motor definitely likes to wine in the whoops.
I’ve ran mine out there at a couple Tuesday night practice days. I’m really enjoying it!
Awesome!

my son just bought one... looking for a track and some races in north GA Gainesville Commerce
What do you recommend for mounting the receiver? Do you use some heavy duty two side tape, velcro or some sort of strap?
I use Gorilla two sided tape.
I use 3M outdoor double sided tape. Holds great and comes off clean when you want to remove it.
They need to make a mod slash class still with traxxas base parts

Most are hex screws. I think the hinge pins are phillips head. The antenna under the body should be fine.
@@TheHammer Cool, thanks!

Honestly, I wouldn't invest a lot of money in a Slash. For that kind of money, you can buy something much better.

@@TheHammer what 1/8th scale rc car would you recommend that is fast and durable
@@charliemaybe are you racing or bashing?
No double jump with the slash?
When the grip is up a little better and you get a run at it, maybe. But it's gotta be perfect. Definitely not worth the risk.
Reverse your hinge pins on the passenger side......no more backing out!
Already done that. Lol
What pinion gear are you running?
I cant remember right off, but its the extra top speed ring and pinion that comes with the car.
@@TheHammer Isn't that just for high speed runs? Does it run at the track fine with that setup?
@@etxkevin7452 I actually ended up switching back to the stock gearing because the taller gear was wearing out the motor too fast.
I wish my track had spec slash😪
I here ya. It is very fun. Something I never expected.
I have one good car I'm only broke two things on it I got hit at a Race And broke my front wheel off and I hit a trash can with it
