Today we look at my friends truck who converted it from nitro gas to electric. It was a Traxxas Slayer pro 3.3 and now it runs a electric brushless motor on 2S lipo battery. #rccars #traxxas #rcbashing #arrma
I love the slayer platform especially 4x4. I did the electric conversion to 3s and it runs just as good as nitro but without the hassle of fuel and carb tuning.
I’m debating on doing an electric conversion. But at the same time man I just love the Nitro’s. Nothing compares to the feeling a Nitro gives you while driving it.
I have a Slayer I have sitting 8n front of me right this very second, that I'm getting ready to do the brushless conversion on, with a mamba sidewinder 8s, esc and a castle 1/8 scale motor! This shits gunna have corn in it🤣
Hi, I have converted a Slayer with a Hobbywing 2200KV 4274. It's a very good short course. I installed 12mm hexagons to mount 1/10 monster truck wheels like you. Can you tell me if you find wheels with 14mm and what models I have to choose? I want only large wheels like yours and mine but with 14mm ^^ My Slayer is difficult to maintain on floor, when I turn at high speed of with a big movement, It wants to flip. I will have to lower gravity center with a motor installation like your. At this moment I have a special part for conversion, plug and play for Revo/slayer frame but it's probably too high for gravity center. I whish wide wheels for visual and for don't have flip in turning. Do you have stock shocks or modified?
Thats a nice setup, the only tires I know that have 14mm Hex is the Arrma Granite Tires. This was my friends truck so I dont know too much about it, I believe the shocks were stock.
@@FivoNine Granite tire is the model you have? The problem I have is the external diameter of wheel. Which have to don't exceed 110mm (4,3" 4,4") if not there are contact with body but must has a wideness of 60mm 70mm (2,2"-2,8"). Only 1/10 MT 12mm hex have good size and I had to machined (handmade 🤣) a 14mm to convert it. I wish have same tire yours because they seem to be at perfect size. I will post a video of my Slayer, from France, soon ^^
hola como estas estoy haciendo la misma convercion pero tengo un problema con la transmicion de la slayer me podrias mostrar como lo hiciste. desde ya gracias sludos de argentina
@@FivoNine vos uniste las dos velocidades con los tres tornillos para que queden fijos los engranajes de la primera y segundo marcha? Y el engranaje grande que tiene el rulemán oneway lo sacaste onde lo dejaste ?
Was really hoping for some top speed clips. I would atleast hope the 2 speed gearbox was being used for something. Also, reverse shouldn't need a separate gear if it's an electric motor, it can be powered in reverse
@@FivoNine I'm saying the end result woulda been better if you sold this truck to someone who did want to mess with the engine and then used the proceeds of that sale to heavily discount a lighter and more nimble truck that was electric from the getgo. 'Tis how I got my Slayer; the shitty stock engine failed so I got a basically mint truck for $225.
internal combustion engine is internal combustion engine nothing will replace the fun !!!! And not an electric motor at all. an electric motor is for people who cannot handle internal combustion engines!
I agree combustion engines are awesome, the smell and sound is definitely something electric cars cant replace. It doesnt matter what power plant people run, as long as they enjoy the hobby 😁
The whole chassis and suspension are different. It uses the lay down shocks and pivot ball arms from the e-revo/Summit. I don't have either truck so I don't know if it handles differently, but saying every 4wd short course truck is a Slash 4x4 isn't really accurate.

Thinking of doing the same, what motor and other components you used?
what a lovely work hard
nice, much more neighbourhood friendly 🤣 enjoyed the video bud 😀👍
That's true, that was one of his reasons for conversion, it was too loud! Thanks!

I would probably keep it nitro myself, but it was my buddies truck and he liked electric for that instant power and not as loud

Dang sounds like your building yourself a monster 😊😊 I would love to see that thing rip!
How did the sidewinder work out?
@@SliverRc pretty good actually! Sadly, got kinda side tracked with crawlers and let it go for an Axial XR10..

Nice conversion!!
Yeah have the same one..its great when it runs nit but want to convert to electric
Does the 2 speed still shift, With an electric conversion?
No it doesn't, you have to lock that up to have reverse.

What kind of problem are you having with the transmission?
@@FivoNine vos uniste las dos velocidades con los tres tornillos para que queden fijos los engranajes de la primera y segundo marcha? Y el engranaje grande que tiene el rulemán oneway lo sacaste onde lo dejaste ?
@@emiliosantiago183 Its my friends car, i will try to get some pictures from him and send it to you of the transmission
What motor mount did he use? I’m trying to convert one as well 👍🏻
Not sure
What size wheels are those? And what brand?
They are the Proline Trenchers 2.8"
Those are sweeeeet!!
Que cubiertas les pusiste ? Qué medida de exagono? De que modelo??
Was really hoping for some top speed clips. I would atleast hope the 2 speed gearbox was being used for something. Also, reverse shouldn't need a separate gear if it's an electric motor, it can be powered in reverse
What kind of tires do you have on the rc truck
They are the Proline Trenchers 2.8"
@@FivoNine thank you
What was the pinion gear he used?
15 pinion and 36 spur
I love my nitro slayer when ever i drive it people smile and come talk to me about it . The electric doesnt have that excitement
Northern California??
No Spokane Washington but Truckee is beautiful 😊
Looks like truckee
IS THIS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
Yes
@@FivoNine so the slayer is four-wheel drive whereas the nitro slash is two wheel drive
@@nomusicrc that is correct 👍
I’m keeping my slayer nitro
Why would you waste your time doing this when the end result is heavier and worse handling than the Slash 4x4?
Motor was already having issues, cheaper to convert to electric then mess with it.
@@FivoNine I'm saying the end result woulda been better if you sold this truck to someone who did want to mess with the engine and then used the proceeds of that sale to heavily discount a lighter and more nimble truck that was electric from the getgo.

I agree i would of probably do the same and just get a slash but it wasn't my truck

I agree combustion engines are awesome, the smell and sound is definitely something electric cars cant replace. It doesnt matter what power plant people run, as long as they enjoy the hobby 😁
If you want electric buy an electric but that’s imo
So it is basically a slash 4x4 vxl 🤦♂️
The whole chassis and suspension are different. It uses the lay down shocks and pivot ball arms from the e-revo/Summit. I don't have either truck so I don't know if it handles differently, but saying every 4wd short course truck is a Slash 4x4 isn't really accurate.
@@s9lecomp I agree here.
With inboard suspension
Es mejor nitro
That shit went to boring.
