The Slash platform is awesome, there's lots of choices depending what your budget is. I race a Slash at a carpet track in South West Missouri and I love it. It super durable and lots of fun. Best part it was a kit and lots of fun putting it together. Thanks for the videos.
You're the master of B-roll. These videos are so smooth and natural that I don't think about the editing at all until they're done, which is a testament to your skill as an editor :)
First, always a in pleasure Alex. Great content. DELTA PLASTIC ROCKS!! Violet has a violet paint job on her truck. Oh mush! Too cute. Yeah, I am one of those Arrma cosmonauts. And Delta seems like a good match for some Arrma platforms. I have bought from Delta some time ago. It's great that you mentioned them.
Cool project! How about getting some street-ish treaded tires, for less grip and add a gyro for the steeringservo, id love to see it being slided even more realistically, with less speed! :D
Looks awesome! Very akin to my Magnus Walker Porsche 911 build. I love how you equate a Slash 2wd to a proper Porsche build. I agree, 100%, rear engine, air cooled, rear wheel drive. It’s a perfect match! Great build, and I’m happy to see you really beating on it and enjoying it! I might have to build a rally Porsche now!!
Its funny, this video couldnt be more perfectly timed. Just this week, after doing some unpacking in the new house, I found an old RC Car Action magazine from 1996 (August Issue), that had a cover story of converting an old, uncompetitive 2WD buggy, into a bashable rally car. It was a fun trip down memory lane. And, honestly, the only reason why i bought that issue of RC Car Action all those years ago...was because it had a Rally Car on the cover. A Celica ST-185 in the classic Castrol TTE livery. Was, and still is, my favorite WRC car of all time. Because if you dont like Pop-Up headlights, we cant be friends. This is not debatable, its just fact. I think its about time i make that project from 1996 happen. Thanks Adult Money!
I’ve been really getting into rally ever since I played the video game “Art of Rally”.. you can race as the Celica in the game as well as all the other icons😎 I’d love to see that old magazine - sounds awesome 👍
@@Drive_On Well, my posts keep getting deleted. But i hope they hit your inbox with the archive link to the RC Car Action Issue. Hope you're having an amazing weekend!
My first RC car was a 2WD Slash, like most folks. I run it in my front yard, and jump it on a homemade adjustable ramp. I would love to work on a custom lexan body. Painting is new to me as well. Thanks for the tips. 🌻
Yea man my advice on painting is do a bunch of LIGHT coats.. don’t try to get it done in 2-3 coats, instead do a bunch like 5-10 depending on the color & paint
saw this video a week ago, loved the idea so much i’ve picked up a second hand slash vxl and am installing the body right now, the slash is such a good platform to do whatever you want with it and this is an amazing example of that can’t wait to start doing some rallying with mine
I was just looking for a rc car channel, I was absolutely thrilled to find an old friend who just started making videos again! Good luck in your new career as well.
I love it great job, I have a 4x4 with tsm a 4x4 brushed for my son, a rally with tsm a brushed rustler 2wd and last the wife’s stampeed 2wd. Love every one.
Really awesome seeing you doing your own thing Alex, miss you on flitetest but great to see you making your own way, cant wait to see what you do next!
Just ordered the delta integrale body from the same manufacturer and plan to convert my slash 2wd as well, this video was super helpful! Unfortunately for me the rear wheel drive and rear engine mount don’t match as well as they do for the 911 build but the integrale is my dream rally car. Maybe I’ll do a 911 body at some point
i bought the raptor slash when i was younger and just decided to get it kicking again with a full brushless system. i’ve always wanted mine to be a car but i just could never find the right body or the right suspension setup to make it look like a car this is definitely going to be my inspiration.
I think it is technically a 1/8 body that fits well on a 1/10th scale short course truck chassis.. If you think about the size of a 911 compared to a short course truck, the 911 is significantly smaller vehicle in real life.
Damn bro I wish I would have seen this yesterday. I have been looking for the perfect body for my slash I run on the oval track different from all the rest. Fucking love the options they have on their site. Thank you.
Hey, just found this channel - like what I see man, more power to you. I'm a nitro dude, but I have a secret spot for some electric projects like this. I like the way the car pitches and rolls. I may have to build one for a friend of mine, he's a porsche nut
Have you had any issues with using the traxxas rustler talon wheels. Used the offroad set on my 2wd slash for awhile not sure if they busted my transmission or not. They look amazing though.
heh, I did that last year, but couldn't get it tuned well... want to try it with 4wd. I just got the Pro-Line arms which I widen the track. haven't installed them yet....
I absolutely love this thing!

Yea it’s a great all around versatile rc.. great if you’re looking to own just one rc vehicle 👍
y'know a nice build for a slash could be a track focused racing buggy alternative!

you just fused the 2 things i love the MOST. and i LOVE IT!!!

Great project. You're very much on point that you don't need a ton of power to have a ton of fun.
Except that the Vxl does have a ton of power😉

Honestly, unsubbed from flite test a while ago because of the faux forced fun vibes. By contrast, these vids feel genuine. Keep it up

Thinking of trying this with a WideMaxx which has 352mm wheelbase. One drove by me here in Ensenada during Baja 400 and my jaw dropped
Good to see you again brother, that looks SWEET, 2WD looks great on that body!!! (V is growing up!!)
I know - time is crazy! thanks for stoppin' by 👍
I was just looking for a rc car channel, I was absolutely thrilled to find an old friend who just started making videos again! Good luck in your new career as well.
Thanks for stopping by ✌️
Cool mod! Thanks for sharing
I love it great job, I have a 4x4 with tsm a 4x4 brushed for my son, a rally with tsm a brushed rustler 2wd and last the wife’s stampeed 2wd. Love every one.
It would be cool to see one like the singer rally with quad shocks
Love it
Your daughter reaction 😄😂👍😻 Thanks
Oh wow didnt know u left flight test... good luck on the new adventure
Hey Alex.
love the vids any chance of some plane content soon?
Yep - incoming!
Ive had monster trucks for a while now and youre really making me wanna dish out $500 for this style of driving :)
haha sorry not sorry :)
love deltas choices. great build
Really awesome seeing you doing your own thing Alex, miss you on flitetest but great to see you making your own way, cant wait to see what you do next!
I love when I come across videos that have alot in common. Good stuff
Wow Very nice ! 👍😊💪
Do you still have the Savage XS? Wish for a video of it in your channel mate, thanks for sharing!
I do still have it.. maybe I’ll have to get it out of hibernation 👍
This guy gets it
Wicked!!!

👍
It's perfect just the way it is.
I love this thing, I’m a fan of Porsche rally/Offroad vehicles. Might have to grab one of those bodies for mine. 👍👍
Edit- so you used a 1/8 body??
I think it is technically a 1/8 body that fits well on a 1/10th scale short course truck chassis.. If you think about the size of a 911 compared to a short course truck, the 911 is significantly smaller vehicle in real life.
Very nice. Someone needs to make an affordable 959 body this size.
That would be awesome! Have you seen the Porsche Marsien? Looks like a modern 959😍
@@Drive_On The Marsien would be fantastic as well. Hope to see at least one of them made eventually👍
Thank you for pronouncing "Porsche" correctly.

If you don’t have the ball diff, get yoself some silly putty for the spider gears!😉

want to try it with 4wd.
I just got the Pro-Line arms which I widen the track. haven't installed them yet....
I bought a second hand slash 2wd with vxl esc and castle motor I have to build this now
Can this upgrade be done to a traxxas slash 4WD? Thank you
Traxxas drag slash has the lcg body, all you gotta do is switch the rear a arms.
I should repaint mine. I have the same body I made into rally. I have a video on it. It's been years though
Great video as aways! May I ask what body is that on your daughter's car?
Hey Alex is the drive on channel yours now and isn’t apart of flite test anymore
Always has been mine👍 Austin and I started it and austin still helps me produce the vids 😎 I’m sure he’ll pop up in future vids..
@@Drive_On ohh that would make more sense thanks when you left flite test everyone was like we want Alex where did he go haha.
Would this body fit my Team Associated SC10 pro 2?
Did you leave flite test? I haven’t watched flite test in a while
Yea I left at the beginning of 2021 to continue my career👍 I’ll be posting my rc shenanigans on this channel moving forward 😎
@@Drive_On Well, I wish good luck on your new chapter!
Could you still use the regular body mounts?
possibly, the body will likely sit a bit high..good luck!
First 5 min
Thank you Alex!!! I’ve been watching you on Flite test for almost 10 years!
Do you have 1/8 scale body or 1/10 scale?
i think it’s technically a 1/8 scale porsche 911 body on a 1/10th scale short course truck chassis
I wanna make a 1/16 slash 4x4 into a Subaru
That sounds like a great idea to me
Awesome awesome slash car mannnnn
I wish I can find Car bodyS to fit THE RED TRAXXAS FORD RAPTOR
I love My Red TRAXXAS RAPTOR SLASH. CAN YOU TELL ME IF YOU KNOW OF BODIES THAT WOULD FIT THE TRAXXAS RAPTOR. IM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING BODIES.
