What an awesome upgrade! But should it have been like this RTR? I kind of think it should.. Traxxas Must know that the stock 2wd slash when it comes to handling is terrible.. Do you agree? See you on the next one!
No. Because, part of the fun of the hobby is working on these things. And it's only 35$(at least at my hobby shop in the USA) for the conversion which is cheap and well worth it. I love working on them.
My first run I had to flip it over five times and it was always 100 yards away. I got a lot of exercise that day - bogged down in my perlite pit -ordered the LCG super duper no flip chassis - no more racing my fleet footed Bulldogs to flip it back over ~ (their new chew toy)-thank you so much for sharing that monumental video with us- good luck with 30k
Very nice. I literally just purchased a base model Slash 2wd secondhand. I think i will be doing this chassis swap, particularly since most of its use will be on pavement. Thanks so much. 🙂
But with the upgraded chassis doesn’t it bottom out a lot more over jumps and going in tall brush/dirt? Shouldn’t it be lifted up since it’s an off-road truck?
Agreed!! Of course the LCD handles better on the flat BUT how in the heck can you NOT even acknowledge that the stock with MORE clearance has the advantage in rougher terrain and that is reason enough for the RTR to come that way!!! You had those piles of gnarly dirt all around- how could you not test it on that?!
Quite the opposite... the lowest parts of the HCG chassis is the same as the whole lcg. But not having that hole/catch in the back to grab grass, dirt, sticks, etc helps a ton. Even in tall grass the flat bottom tends to slide right over stuff especially rocks.
If you wanna easily bump power Stock motor on 3s is pretty good to bump it up of you have an extra ESC that's capable. Eventually I'll do brushless but for now that stock 12t is feeling some extra juice.
Traxxas already has this option for the 4WD slash and Rally (A Slash with a Ford Focus body shell) RTR cars (obviously), surprised that they haven't made this an offering for the 2WD.
Hey @beyondRC I really enjoyed your video. I am new to RC and bought a slash 2wd from my local hobby store. If I wanted the stock clearance, do you have any alternative tips for upgrades to maintain control? Thanks :)
Is their anything you can do to make the inside wheel leave the ground a lot under cornering like a real short corse truck . Please help anyone Because i'de like it to real .
i would love to see them act like the Australian short course truck's with one weel raising up around coroner's. Q Can i buy an Australian short course truck replica what actually handles like one with the one weel coming off the ground like the real thing . 🤔

Stock one has more clearance but all it ever does is topple over.. terrible. Not a fan. This handles way better and I prefer it. You are entitled to your opinion as am I.. don’t have to be in agreement 😁 have a good day 👍😎
I thought this as well, another solution to the toppling is bigger tires. That will lead to other upgrades like heavy duty bearing carriers due to extra weight and you’ll need brushless power to get down. The LCG looks cool but I’ll stick with my original chassis
No, no, no 😃, this is the ULTIMATE upgrade for the 2wd Slash, it both makes it handle a lot better but also makes it look absolutely EPIC🤩🤩🤩: Traxxas Monster Slash Build and Driving th-cam.com/video/aWceW4BuQiE/w-d-xo.html
Arrma is pretty much garbage. Very few upgrades, the spektrum stuff isn't the best...horizon hobby is known for ruining brands. The Arrma Granite Grom is a great little truck, I'll give them that. But other than that I've ran a lot of their models and it's not impressive. Traxxas however has the biggest OEM and aftermarket support out there and their huge variety of models is excellent. I've had zero issues with any of my Traxxas trucks

Off road truck but not a crawler or monster truck, they race on dirt and clay tracks, sand and such, like in real life, stadium trucks.

I just did mine. So much better.
Mine was a beast 😂 it ran a max motor and 1/8 esc on 3s she was nuts
Now I know what I need! Thanks!
I noticed that on the ftx Zorro, mate it was really bad, so bad 4 run's and moved it on ! Hated it, that looks much better thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱
is there a way to get one of the front wheel's lifting as cornering like the real shot course trucks .
Hey @beyondRC I really enjoyed your video. I am new to RC and bought a slash 2wd from my local hobby store. If I wanted the stock clearance, do you have any alternative tips for upgrades to maintain control? Thanks :)
You should compare the slash 4x4 and slash 4x4 ultimate bud 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is their anything you can do to make the inside wheel leave the ground a lot under cornering like a real short corse truck .
Please help anyone
Because i'de like it to real .
What gear and pinion you run
Upgrade your 272 to the 272R magnum. Handling is way better with an actual differential over the planetary diff.
I’m looking for an electric RC car (preferably 1/8 scale ) that has a mechanical brake system, someone knows where I can find it? Thanks a lot ❤
what are the hood pins youre using?
team corally 1/8 body clips and retainers part number: C-00180-614

Gravity is a theroy why do talk like its a fact?
