Brother, as a youngest of 3 brothers, my oldest brother and at the time my father were into RC's a lot. This car has always been our main rc car. And i calculated, we have spent about 1000$ (including a 200$ castle system, a few sets of new tires, a replacement power system because that got burnt, and atleast 200$ in batteries) Just upgrading this very car. Its still the most fun car and the most durable car i have ever and probably will ever own. :)
Yeah it can add up fast! It is a pretty durable rig though
I have one. Upgraded the esc to a high 2s lipo . I enjoy making adjustments on it to achieve the results I desire. If I did 3s and low pro chassis. Well I could be in this video, ohh no DO my own video. Lol
@@RCKnockout i have had countless crashes with it. Takes everything you throw at it
@@madhuram2313 yeah it’s a pretty durable rig!
Nice fly-by @5:04
Thanks!
I’ve had a slash for a while now and kinda forgot about it but your videos helped me get back into the hobby, Thank you
Definitely worth getting it out! Glad you’ve found the videos motivating! 👍😉
Literally me
Nice man. I just ordered a slash 2wd vxl and am gonna upgrade it heavily.
Awesome man! Best of luck!
@@RCKnockout Thank you! Also when I ordered on Traxxas I gave you the credit for it since you were the first channel that got me into RC!
@@CJ23taylor-animales appreciate it man! You’ll have lots of fun with the Slash!
also, my traxxas slash 2wd recently killed the wheel hexes and the space for it in the wheel. ordered a gpm one with those 5 'spokes' that save the wheels. i didnt know about it until i watched ur video in which u show them. Thank You very much!!
Yeah those are a life saver…..the stock hexes can’t hold up to 3s power or 4s
awesome run and upgrade
Thanks man!
I've been racing my slash on carpet, it's built similar to yours and i bought a set of anti roll bars off amazon. They helped a lot! The front went on fine, but i had to cut down the arms a little, the rears did not go as instructed and took some creative thinking to get them to work!
Nice! So those are the same as sway bars? What brand are they?
@@RCKnockout sway bars, anti roll bars, different names for different people, same thing in the end! They are cheap generic chinese ones that were labelled for the Slash, cost around 12GBP (approx $15)
They come with 3 different bars for each end so there's tuning options and most importantly, they come with all the necessary hardware.
All you'll need to add is 2 6mm spacers, slightly longer screws and a dremel to cut off the excess bar with!
@@EddieDesigned gotcha! Thanks for the info!
Love the build, I was curious would you recommend the upgraded transmission?
Yeah I like the 272R much more than the stock trans……it is quite expensive though
👍🏽 thanks for the rip stay safe bro
No problem…..thanks man!
My little brother has a 2wd slash and he put a little weight in the front end of it to help keep it on the ground
Oh that makes sense! I’m sure it would be helpful
try paddle tires in the grass very fun.
Paddles really aren’t meant for grass
Will it be a good idea to install a wheelie bar on that powerful truck?
Yeah you could….but on a truck like this it’ll usually just drag the rear bumper….occasionally the bumper will dig into the ground though
Are the spur and pinion gears covered in oil? If not, how are you running a metal sour gear?
No they’re not…it’s fine as long as you set your gear mesh properly
U think about putting the jado arms up front so u can run 4x4 tires all the way around?
I’m already running 4x4 wheels and tires all the way around
@@RCKnockout they fit fine? Need different hexes or anything ?
@@Caliboy94 no they fit fine……fronts touch the body a little when the suspension compresses but it’s hardly noticeable
I just got mine yesterday I'm gonna upgrade mine soon there cheap but good.
Yeah they’re a ton of fun to upgrade too!
Monster slash 2.8 proline badlands or trencher tires
I still wanna run the 2.2 short course tires on this truck….I don’t wanna make it into a monster slash
I have an old nitro 2.5 russler thats burnt up and was thinking about doing an electric conversion on.. its my only rc car and i started tinkering with it out of boredom. might just pick one of these up instead
Yeah electricity is definitely the future
@@RCKnockout all the maintenance involved in nitro and having to buy the fuel is just more than i want to deal with at this point lol
@@jeremylong6229 understandable….that’s kinda why I’ve never gotten into Nitro
@@RCKnockout I think i was in the 5th grade when i got mine saved money for a very long time to get it.. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world ripping that thing around the back yard
@@jeremylong6229 gotcha! Yeah it’s so much easier with electric rcs now
Are all slash 2wd clipless bodies or is that just the raptor version of the slash?
I’m not sure….when I bought this one, clipless bodies weren’t available yet from factory
Where did you get the axles I can’t find them
I think I got them on Ebay or maybe Amazon
Have you actually got 60mph with that gearing? I've got a 32t pinion and the 86 spur and I could only get 55mph. On 3s of course, but I was using a 3300kv Hobbywing max10
I hit 51mph my highest speed yesterday after swapping to a good full set of tires 6500mah 100c battery traxxas Slash VXL 4x4. That's with stock pinion and spur gear. Haven't even tried to use high speed gear yet.
76 spur should make it go faster.
I think 51mph or 53mph is the most I could get up to without it parachuting…..it claims it can get up to 60mph though
How much was the ESE and motor
I think I got them for $125 or something for the pair…..I got a good deal though
Rear sway bar works great. There's no weight on the front and doesn't work well. It's cheap and will definitely help a basher or racer. Take care bud
Thanks for the info and recommendation!
Where can you get a rear sway bar for a 2wd traxxas truck? Do they make it for the high chassis? 🤔
what did you do to help with the parachuting?
Don’t really have a solution….drive slower lol 😂
@@RCKnockout what’s the fun in that?😂
@@yetirc9780 that’s just a suggestion lol 😂
@@RCKnockout ok, i’ll start there🥸
What battery did you use
Honestly I can’t remember
@@RCKnockout Do you know the best 3s battery to use in still looking for a 3s battery for my slash.
@@ttv_clix2.0 I like to use Hoovo batteries…I have used their 5200mah (60c) 3s batteries for awhile now
6s MAKE IT A ROCKET
Tbh 4s is probably about as much power I’d wanna throw at this thing
Looks like a rustler
Your math is a little off...Unless I hear you wrong. After you say the shocks are $60/pair, that's $120 on top of the initial $190 cost of the car. That's $310 without adding in the Trans & metal gears you upgraded. You have well over what a Slash Ultimate 4x4 costs new. I'm all for you building a custom RC, that's what it's all about...but this build is a money pit. Still...mad respects! You could've bought a XMaxx for what you spent on this build.
Nope the numbers are correct……some people could argue that all rc cars are money pits…..and I’ve already got a Slash 4x4 Ultimate and three Xmaxx’s…..honestly I can have just as much fun with this machine in the right environment
@@RCKnockout I get it...It's the fun of the transformation & making your own creation. I hope you have many years of fun with it.
@@ghpjerry thanks! Yeah it actually is a fun little car
I've tried several different hardened steel drive shafts and I still snap them. It's pointless. Can't even get 5 minutes and I break a $75. MIP drive shafts.
Really? You’ve even broken the MIP ones? I thought those are supposed to be the best of the best?
Idk it seems to blow at the universal joint right behind the bearings. For the little sub axle. I broken tenko shaft, st concept shafts. And this MIP. I was kind of surprised but it's the same spot every time it breaks
@@scottmichael9221 really? Do you have a steep driveshaft angle? What size tires are you running?
