Yeah it’s loud lol, love the sound and smell of nitro, I’ve got a lot of electric Rc’s but nitro is so scale! I’m really loving this side of the hobby!👍
@@HNunyabusiness lol it’s a fun nitro for sure, I’m guessing the neighbors get mad when you used to run nitro, if your running it during the day, I don’t see why they would care, it’s no different then running a loud lawn mower lol
@@rcreviews9894 it’s different. They get very upset. Especially the old farts. I suppose cause it’s a toy and not a weed whacker which they think is necessary
@@HNunyabusiness man if your on a stock pipe they really aren't that loud. I'm good with all my neighbors and most say they don't even hear them zipping around unless they're outside. At that point is it really any worse then the neighbors with thier weed eaters and lawn mowers goin? Nah.
Nitro slash is 1 amazing platform. They're a lot lighter then most trucks thier size because of the chassis being small and minimal. I run a mMIP 360 pipe out the back with a flipped stock header . Sounds amazing and keeps the fuel off the chassis completely. Its an OLD school pipe but still absolutely amazing.
Yeah I really like the nitro slash! I own the slash ultimate as well, I agree it is a amazing platform whether it’s nitro or electric, I’m actually looking for a pipe for the slash and my nitro rustler, maybe the Traxxas blue anodized not sure 👍
I own a nitro slash, things you can do to mitigate airplane mode with the stock body is lower the ride height in the front with some fuel line on the inside of the shock, and limit travel in the rear by adding file line to the exposed area of the shock shaft. Airplane mode aside, get metal shock caps, and get ST Racing Concepts hinge pins
Often when I do speed runs I take off the body as the air gets up under the body and flips it! But when the body is off it basically reduces it! I have the same car as yours and I can say I agree with all your points! Epic, Amazing vid as always
Thanks, yeah I thought about taking the body off but to me it’s kinda risky, I definitely don’t want to flip it with the body off, the slash will wheelie on command and I guess sometimes I get a little carried away lol, I might cut more holes in the body to get more air flow on those high speed passes, thanks again for watching 🤙🏎️💨💨💨
Thanks for watching my videos, hopefully you can get around to breaking it in soon, I would try to do it on a sunny day and give yourself a couple of hours to complete the process, the slash is a lot of fun to drive, it’s fast! A real scale experience, you’re gonna like it!🤙
Sweet ! what an awesome run B, dont you just love these nitro powered toys, they are super cool ! Thanks for the share brother and have a good one ! 🤙🏻
Yeah it’s fast! I’m just getting into nitro and I gotta say, I’m having a lot of fun with this side of the hobby! Thanks for watching! Shout out to Indonesia 🇮🇩
Turn your pipe to like a 60 degree angle. One nitro is never enough. I started with nitro planes. Still have all those. Then it was a TMaxx classic in 2003. Then a Jato 3.3 in 2008 and a Nitro 4Tec. Took a break from RC to fly full scale aircraft but got back in and bought a Revo last year. Just restored my Jato from 2008. Video dropping soon on showing it off once I get a body for it.
This thing looks really nice. Been on the fence about getting a nitro slash for a while now but this looks like the one for me. Ended up buying a Rovan Baja 5b instead but I think I’m going to get this eventually.
I’m 100% going to get a slash. There’s one at my local hobby shop so I’ll snatch that up. It is the middle of winter in Illinois so I’ll have to wait till spring but it’s good to be ready. Also put some weights in the front to keep it from catching in the wind and rolling over
It’s a beast, it’s way faster than the nitro rustler man! I’m thinking it’s faster than my slash ultimate too! It handles really well too besides the fact that the body catches wind, it’s great, I’m loving it👍
I got a nitro slash from my local hobby store and it’s the same color as yours. The first thing that I did was put on the shock spacers. I put the thickest ones on the rear even tho there is some that already come on it. And I put the less thicker ones on the front and it made the car higher. Also I put 2 body spacers on all four body mounts and that raised the body up a lot. It’s winter here in Northern Illinois so I will make sure the ending will start so warming it up with a heat gun and starting it up in the garage to make sure the engine will start and fire up. And I will break the engine in when it gets warmer outside.
Nice 👍 yeah I threw some shock spacers on mine too, you can also adjust the body posts by unscrewing those two screws and raising it up, be careful on high speed straight aways, the body catches wind and by raising it, it will catch wind even more, I already need a new body lol, I’m actually waiting for a part too 😩 the brake lever broke and everyone is out of stock it’s like a 2 dollar part
@@Matthew_Does_To_Many_Things yeah me too! lol all it is, is a piece of metal wire that goes over the spur gear must be a common breakage if it’s sold out everywhere, who knows, still having fun with the nitro rustler for now😀
Needs a Banzai wheelie bar. A little bit of weight in the front would help too but just see what the wheelie bar alone does. I have one mine but have yet to try it out. I has been either snowing or raining until just recently here in the Pacific Northwest.
Hey there, when it comes to break in on a nitro you wanna run it in after initial break with carb at break in settings. It will become very rich once it’s broke in then that’s when you tune it. Just a little nitro FYI probably half a gallon of fuel it with loosen up.
Thanks, man Im really liking the nitro side of the hobby! I’m really tempted to get a tmaxx 3.3 or something lol, I’m kinda scared to get in too deep lol, I thought about what you said and your right, it’s more complicated, hopefully I don’t have a game over situation lol, I still have a lot to learn, thanks for watching bro👍
@@rcreviews9894 lol... yeah better be sure. Seems like your having fun though. I still have the original tmaxx upgraded to a 3.3. Going to do a rebuild on the truck because I installed allot of aluminum on it and now I hate when people throw allot of aluminum on their RC'S lol. I'll never get rid of because it was a gift and one of my first rc's. had the nitro revo but I'm almost positive that I sold it or traded it don't remember. I have some other nitro's still here in my collection though. I don't hate them but when the motor decides to act up is when I just say the hell with it. Normally that isn't the case until the piston and sleeve have seen a bit of run time. Or when like in my case ohio, and probably doesn't apply to you, the weather changes damn near everyday from hot to cold in some months... then the tuning definitely begins to be more annoying than it's worth. But I could just be lazy and you really may end up enjoying doing that if it ever happens. I know people that do. Nothing is cooler than having that sound flying by though lol.
@@thischildishlifestyle yeah I’m having a lot of fun but I am starting to see how tedious running nitro can be, the sound and the smell really get me going but there is a lot involved, it’s the same here in Texas right now, hot, cold, hot, cold, it’s like 20 degrees right now, the day before it was 75 lol, I go through phases man, lol I get stuck on something and I end up going all out, I’ve been real careful not to go to far this time though, I have had some issues getting the tuning just right on occasion and being that I’m not a very patient person, it’s been a learning experience for sure, I’ve had buyers remorse in the past and I know how that feels lol, so far I am having fun, there are some things I do and don’t like about nitro, I may do a video on it, the weather being a major factor, another thing is I don’t like having that feeling of not knowing how to fix something, I know it will take time to learn all there is to know about nitro but in the mean time I kinda feel like I’m on a leash lol, like I can’t really run them like I want to, like I can’t push the limits like I can with electric, I don’t know its weird lol, I am curious about that tmaxx is it any good? A monster truck would be cool! There I go again lol
@@rcreviews9894 it's ok.But like I said I have the original so it's really outdated. I'm sure it's allot nicer now, I have the last version of the emaxx they made and I like it. They should be the same except for it not being nitro so you should like it.
Cool vid....I have a brand new Nitro slash sitting waiting to get broke in, bought over winter and weather is good so you got me excited about getting it out....should be cool I have it set up to start from the remote, I won't need the EZ start.....I can't wait shod be really cool...👍👍
I just got my nitro rustler today and it arrived with the stinger in the pipe facing downward. I called amain and they had me to twist it in the right position. Now the stinger goes through the exhaust hole in the body. So just grab the pipe and turn it in the right position.
O nice the nitro rustler was my first nitro here recently, I really enjoy it, yeah in the case of the rustler the tip of the pipe does go through the body and you will find out that when you wreck out sometimes that body will shift and cover the end of that pipe and kill the engine, it’s no big deal, just something to be aware of, I couldn’t get it started one day and that’s what it was lol, the slash is different, it’s pipe faces down, but I’m sure I could adjust it if need be, have fun brother, your in for a wild ride, that rustler, once tuned up, hauls arse🚀
@@rcreviews9894 just attempted to break in my rustler. Upon starting it the back tires just kept spinning. I sat it down and the car proceeded to move forward when idling. I'm afraid I have completely messed up my break in process. Do you know how I can stop it from rolling forward when idling. Other than that the process was flawless.
@@favulus1 DO NOT mess with the needles! For the first tank just let it idle up on its own, do not give any throttle let it drive around by itself you just steer it around, it needs to build compression in the engine, on your next tank, the idle will start to level out and die down then you will be able to follow the steps per your instruction manual
@@rcreviews9894 well think I blew the whole process I started fiddling . It started just fine no problem. I read my manual and it said nothing about leeching forward on its own. I seen one video about if it walked forward like that adjust the low speed. I am absolutely disgusted with myself. I guess I will just have to back to factory settings and start the process again 😔
@@favulus1 don’t be too hard on yourself, I did the same thing when I got my first nitro, my rustler did the same thing, it revved up on its own when I started it for the first time, it is normal for it to do this, the engine is new and has no compression, my nitro slash did the same exact thing, the main thing is to not panic and start turning the needles, they are set for break in, just follow the instructions to set it back to factory and continue the break in procedure, keep in mind the next time you get another Traxxas nitro it will do the same thing and you will be prepared for it
Yeah I was thinking about adjusting that pipe, the truck itself is awesome and I’m thinking it goes 50mph + out of the box easily and I haven’t even tuned it all the way yet, it’s a beast for sure 👍
My exhaust melted on me because it was plastic and the Spur gear ended up getting sheared after about 5 uses. Ended up having to upgrade to aluminum parts
How durable is it? I bought a nitro revo and absolutely hate it because it’s always broken. I hated it so much i went and switched back to electric and bought a maxx.
Hey brother, I was wondering how much nitro fuel you used during break in? I have a jato 3.3 arriving in a few days. Can't wait to get my hands on it! Great videos and take care.
Well for break in, I ran through a full quart for the slash, a little less when I broke in the Rustler, the Nitro Slash has a 150cc fuel tank though, not sure how big the tank is on the Jato, congrats by the way, I hear the Jato is really fast!
@@rcreviews9894 hello I have the same nitro slash if it is 30 in my area can I break it in I live in evergreenpark Illinois could you look that up and give me a few tips I’m 17 and my first nitro
@@deontehemphilltestsbagpipe56 I would wait if you could until it gets a little warmer, if your like me and can’t wait lol, preheat the motor with a heat gun or hair dryer
@@deontehemphilltestsbagpipe56 I wouldn’t mess with that until you try to start it for the first time, make sure when you start it, the engine is not stuck in TDC
Dont do the traxxas break in procedure. it wears your engine more. let it idle first tank, and always pre heat the engine during break in, dont use the factory settings, it depends where you are at in altitude.
I’m back with a question. When I first started my nitro slash the idle speed was high it was moving at a decent speed right out the box at idle. I was only testing out the engine because it is winter right now so I heated up the garage and the engine. So I looked at the manual and it said to turn the low speed needle and I did it and it no longer moved at idle. Is that ok? I’m not going to break it in for another month till it gets warmer. I’m just making sure if I should have done that. I could always put it back in the spring to how it was.
Yeah that low speed needle is set high to get it started for the first time, actually what I did with the slash, when I started it for the first time, is just hold the break so it didn’t go off on its own, carry it out to the street and let it idle around by itself just steering it around for the first tank, I didn’t apply any throttle, I just let it idle around, it has no compression because it’s a brand new engine, eventually it will idle down by itself after that first tank, you can richen that low speed needle a bit if you want to keep it idle in one spot if you want, it won’t hurt anything, just remember to make small adjustments so if you over do it, it will be easy to go back where you started, did you run all the gas out?
@@rcreviews9894 No I did not I barely used any nitro because I was just testing that it would start. I think I will set it back how it was before just to be safe when I do the break in in about a month when it gets warmer
@@Matthew_Does_To_Many_Things hey make sure you have no nitro left in the tank, also turn your radio on and turn the truck on and put your ez start on it for about 10 secs three or four times to get any access fuel out of the lines, especially if it’s gonna sit for awhile until to run it again
@@rcreviews9894 yeah I’ll set it back to how it was in the spring just to be safe. I wanna make sure I do the break in properly. Oh yeah I took a syringe and sucked all the fuel out of the tank. And I also cranked the engine over to make sure all the fuel was out and it ran for a few sec and turned off.
@@Matthew_Does_To_Many_Things o ok, you know what your doing👍 hopefully it gets a little warmer over there soon so you can run it! Looking forward to hearing what you think about it🚀

I’m sure you could upgrade to the nimh pack and save money on buying batteries 👍
@@rcreviews9894 ok thx a lot
How easy is it to switch out the receiver?
Switching out a receiver literally takes probably 5 minutes, open the receiver box, unplug the old and plug in the new.
Is it 2 speed
No, it is the only single speed 3.3 nitro kit Traxxas makes👍
I’m back with a question. When I first started my nitro slash the idle speed was high it was moving at a decent speed right out the box at idle. I was only testing out the engine because it is winter right now so I heated up the garage and the engine. So I looked at the manual and it said to turn the low speed needle and I did it and it no longer moved at idle. Is that ok? I’m not going to break it in for another month till it gets warmer. I’m just making sure if I should have done that. I could always put it back in the spring to how it was.
Yeah that low speed needle is set high to get it started for the first time, actually what I did with the slash, when I started it for the first time, is just hold the break so it didn’t go off on its own, carry it out to the street and let it idle around by itself just steering it around for the first tank, I didn’t apply any throttle, I just let it idle around, it has no compression because it’s a brand new engine, eventually it will idle down by itself after that first tank, you can richen that low speed needle a bit if you want to keep it idle in one spot if you want, it won’t hurt anything, just remember to make small adjustments so if you over do it, it will be easy to go back where you started, did you run all the gas out?
@@rcreviews9894 No I did not I barely used any nitro because I was just testing that it would start. I think I will set it back how it was before just to be safe when I do the break in in about a month when it gets warmer
@@Matthew_Does_To_Many_Things hey make sure you have no nitro left in the tank, also turn your radio on and turn the truck on and put your ez start on it for about 10 secs three or four times to get any access fuel out of the lines, especially if it’s gonna sit for awhile until to run it again
@@rcreviews9894 yeah I’ll set it back to how it was in the spring just to be safe. I wanna make sure I do the break in properly. Oh yeah I took a syringe and sucked all the fuel out of the tank. And I also cranked the engine over to make sure all the fuel was out and it ran for a few sec and turned off.
@@Matthew_Does_To_Many_Things o ok, you know what your doing👍 hopefully it gets a little warmer over there soon so you can run it! Looking forward to hearing what you think about it🚀
Just run it without the body for some speed runs, she'll stay planted then.
You think so? That’s kinda risky, if I flip it without any protection from the body at 50 plus mph that’s a wrap! I may try it though! 😆😁
Guess what I got?? 😅
??
@@rcreviews9894 a jato
@@985livenice! Those are hard to find, where did you get yours? I hear the Jato is really fast🚀
@@rcreviews9894 I brought it off the traxxas website it should be delivered today
I have the slash and rustler, I love the rustler it's the most reliable, but my slash is so much faster
Yeah the slash is a lot faster, bigger engine, max throttle, I’m thinking 50 plus
They dont catch wind if you adjust the suspension so the front is lower
