Definitely gonna be buying the wheel wells and the bash armor. Also that barrel roll was dope😎. AMain draining my bank account one video at a time.😂😂
The Dusty Motors chassis shroud is a very good, very practical idea. Small stones and sand chronically galled the anodized drive shaft and fowled the chassis on my Rustler 4X4. I ordered 100 disposable surgical/food service elastic hair nets for $8.99 on Amazon. I fashioned a guard/tunnel out of construction paper to keep the hair net from ever entangling in the drive shaft, then I fit the hair net over top using two rubber bands and an inch or two of duct tape. No more than fine dust now gets into the chassis, mechanics, and electronics when I run my Rustler on natural desert terrain. Only $32 and I no longer need 're-fit' a new a hair net each time. I'll wait till I run out of hair nets since the Dusty Motors is currently back-ordered.
Nice. Sounds like a good solution.
-Brett
Oh, you were showing off its bash armor. At first, I thought you were just driving like me. Another nice informative video Brett.
during the summer the mesh thing is definitely A no go... those electronics get super hot.. even without the mesh the stock vxl crap gets super hot
Yeah, good point. Being mindful of temps should be standard, but really important with these setups.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Yah.. I usually Run 1 Cell Less Then What The Electronics Can Handle With Bit Higher Gearing And I get Nice speed And No Heat To Worry About
Yes!!!! Been running the hot racing chassis shroud for 3 years now on my slash 4 x 4 platinum, no problems at all, great vid!!!
Nice! Good to hear it's still working strong after 3 years.
-Brett
Yeah! Come on Brent. Lol😅
(Parrashoot not ballooning)
It’s got some get up and go, very impressive.
I ran a rubber hose around the driveshaft right where it enters the chassis with a clearance close enough to keeping larger debris out of the driveshaft channel and diff gear. A small piece of foam over the diff but takes care of most of the remaining debris. That shroud would do the work but here in the Central Valley it’s hot most of the year so that wouldn’t work. That body though, definitely next on my list. My stock slash 4x4 body has seen better days
It looks like I'm gonna be saving up for the wheel wells and the dusty motors cover, my slash gets really dusty and muddy when I do a nice bashing session.
Super Clean!! Wow!! Super impressed!!!
Th wheel wells alone is a great upgrade to the slash...if you removed the stock mounts and installed wheel wells under it may have fit a little better I have never used the product its just a guessamacion ... great job Brett
The fender wells are really meant to be used on their own - they keep out the vast majority of the dirt whilst allowing a lot of airflow around motor and esc.
Good tip Scorched Parts!
-Brett
AMain Hobbies
Thanks Brett. Cool video. Love the body shell. Keep up the great work!
You did it again buddy another great video
Love your videos bro 😎👍🏼
Love your videos. Good job man
Appreciate it Timothy! Thanks for watching.
-Brett
Thanks AMain for having Affirm, just paid off my Arrma Notorious yesterday, may go out and break something on it in celebration
HA! Good luck. It's hard to break anything on that rig.
-Brett
AMain Hobbies update, had it out today again, still not broken 💪Arrma Tough
From my totally not expert opinion, I think the front fenders on their open will make the biggest impact. I think I may pick those up.
Dusty Motors all the way. I them almost on all my RCs 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
and it saves you gears and drive line
No. 1
cheap tip, just line the inside of the stock body with heavy duty duck tape. it will really resist cracking with that done.
How to puff a lipo and burn an esc 101. Pick one, don't use both together. Just with the dusty shroud on my lcg, my promatch lipo got to 140° F. Be careful folks
I was thinking the exact same thing. Even worse than this mesh shroud are the ones made from Lexan (whoever came up with this idea deserves a SEVERE lashing, or 20), and other solid materials. NEVER use a solid shroud...and, unless you live where temps are below the low-to-mid 80s, I would HIGHLY suggest avoiding a mesh shroud. The Lexan wheelwells, on the other hand, could prove a very smart idea...as long as you don't use the middle piece (exactly as mentioned in the video, it would disrupt the air flow.
In some ways, the AMain videos remind me of Top Gear (the original group)...sometimes they're excellent, & and incredibly informative; at other times, they're really dumb, and might even suggest (as in this video) doing things that you REALLY should AVOID doing. That being said, even with videos like this, I still enjoy watching them.
@@robbryan3044 well put. I have a dusty shroud and it only gets used in the winter when I run paddle tires. Sure, snow gets on the mesh and blocks airflow, but better than snow compacting inside the chassis and insulating everything
@@robbryan3044 Word.
hate to be a downer but I'll just shake the dirt off of my car.
@@halleffect1 well you can't just shake out mud and snow
Did Brett just slip a bad word lol 😂
There is a massive difference between 5 mil lexan and lexan that is 5 mm thick I guarantee that body is not 5 mm thick. If you were to place the Fender flares on the shot post itself under the retaining ring for the body you would not have to use the pro line body mounts
Awww.. my heart!!! Whyd you hammer it!! Ots not the WWF!!
The slash is an amazing model it was my first real rc and out of all my models has the most miles on it. I currently have two pro line bodies the VW baja and the 66 Ford and both are held together with shoo goo and gorilla tape at this point. Is this new body really more durable?
100%. Some people don't like the all white looks but the body is massively more durable.
-Brett
Pretty cool. But it looks like it'll get to hot..
Balloon/parachute effect 🤣😂
I have the outerwears shroud, saw some crazy Brits using hairnets 😂
Haha. If it works, it works i guess.
-Brett
Particolare importante questo video ..il problema è il surriscaldamento.
Però se ci fosse anche per il mio arrma Granite sarebbe gradito...
Have you had any issues with the Proline caps and/or studs coming loose? Mine keep coming off and getting lost.
The extended body mount caps? Yes, we've lost a few over the days as well.
-Brett
I would like a 'Bash armor' body in a 'Rustler' open-wheel style. My OEM body is a bit ragged around the edges after just 4 months. I've been fitting disposable, elastic, poly hair nets for surgeons or food preparation ($7 to $10 for 100) over my chassis using duct tape bits and a rubber band. The 'Dusty Motors' solution seems far more convenient. However, I'd like to know more about the 'heating' issue. The disposable hairnets I'm using do not seem to cause "air-flow" problems as mentioned, but they are time consuming to fit each session. Is the Dusty Motors cover inherently more thermal in nature, being overly paranoid, or simply prophylactic?
It's just a warning they provide to cover their butt because there are so many variables to consider. If you're in a colder climate, the mesh will probably never be an issue. If you're in a +100°F area, you will have heat issues with or without the mesh. It also depends on how you drive your car. If you accelerate hard and come to a full stop and repeat repeatedly, you'll generate a lot of heat, with or without the mesh. It's a very fine mesh and does limit air flow as compared to using no mesh. It is a very convenient to use and installs in seconds. I recommend it.
-Brett
How do the wheel wells work on the monster slash? Can u do a video. Also i wish i had the power to pull rc parts out of no where when im building a car
They won't work on the Monster Slash. The tires are too big, and will rub.
-Brett
Ok thanks
Schönes Video. Gibt es die Proline Bodypost für den rc10sc6.1?
Nice video. Is there a Proline Bodypost for the rc10sc6.1?
No unfortunately. Would something like this help you? www.amainhobbies.com/duratrax-3.5-nylon-body-post-black-2-dtxc2617/p642240
-Brett
I can paint this body? Outside shure. But works?
Pro-Line advises to not paint the body.
-Brett
8:44 WHAT?
are these no longer sold on Amain?
What were you looking for? The Scorched rc parts are no longer available but the other parts are.
-Brett
will the dust net still stop dust from getting in when you open it?
If you have to open the net for ventilation, dust will get in, but I imagine it will be reduced.
-Brett
AMain Hobbies thanks
@@AMain_Hobbies When using fans on the motor and ESC, the cooling proved to be sufficient with the shroud closed. It fits and the mesh allows enough airflow to let the fans do their job. Even in our European summer (heat upto 40 degrees C.). And the shroud keeps water spray out. I try to avoid running my Slash through water, though.
Will the dusty motors fit over esc and duel motor fan/heatsink?
A heatsink and fan on the motor should fit, but i can't say it will 100% without trying it. But there is quite a bit of slack in the mesh where it could tent up if needed.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies awesome thanks!
I have the Slash Ultimate. The first mods were fans for ESC and motor, because they overheated and the system kept shutting down, and the Dusty motors cover to keep debris and dirt out. It works well. The mesh allows enough airflow to get the heat out and keep it running without overheating. Running 2S and no desert temps, that is.
Would this work on the rustler
You bet. The Dusty Motors chassis shrouds are available for both the Rustler and Rustler 4x4. The wheel wells are only available for the Slash 4x4 though. Here are the Rustler Chassis Shrouds: www.amainhobbies.com/dusty-motors-traxxas-rustler-bandit-protection-cover-blue-dty-trx0072/p944422
and Rustler 4x4: www.amainhobbies.com/dusty-motors-traxxas-stampede-4x4-rustler-4x4-telluride-protection-cover-black-dty-trx0061/p944475
-Brett
It kinda smells like...........horse powaaaaaaaa!
I wonder how much those wheel wells will effect the parachute effect
Happy 4th of July Brett
Thanks Stevo D! You too man. Hope you had a good holiday weekend. With the wheel wells we didn't experience any parachuting on the ramp jumps we did, the truck sailed well and natural. The Flo-Tec body probably helped a lot with this.
-Brett
would this stuff fit a slash 2wd?
I think the shock points and body mount are different
Yes, everything but the Scorched Wheel Wells. The body will fit and Dusty Motors makes a shroud for the Slash 2WD HCG & LCG. Here is the HCG: www.amainhobbies.com/dusty-motors-traxxas-slash-2wd-hcg-chassis-protection-cover-black-dty-trx0081/p944425

-Brett
I WILL NOT BE LIKE "666"
Can you paint those unbreakabke bodies
No, you cannot paint them.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies why?
No one! No one can use hammer on my body!!
Haha. You could run that body over with a tank and it would be fine.
-Brett
Hammer time!
Another Great video. I have a dusty motors shroud for my slash LCG but I knew it would hold heat so I got the green one. The black one will heat up quickly and hold the heat for a longer just because it’s black. I don’t have the body or the wheel wells though. The shroud does a great job. Dust will still get in with other things that can thread itself through the gaps. It’s still better that not having anything. I also have fans ready to learn how to wire them up to a lipo battery safely. but I can’t seem to find anything on TH-cam to do it. I just want to set up the twin fans for the motor and i also have a scorched parts esc fan for it. BUT I don’t want it plugged into my receiver because I want to be able to remove them quickly when it rains or if I’m driving it in water. Could you help with that?
I like the idea! What voltage do the fans require? To connect to the battery you'd need a middle connector wire that plugs into the ESC like the battery would, and then the battery connects on the other end, and in the middle, this jumper wire would have your fan leads coming off of it. If you use Traxxas connectors, they are really hard to buy, and you would need one female and one male. Does this make any sense? I could email you a picture of what i'm thinking.
-Brett
AMain Hobbies Thank you for replying. We were actually talking about this in a live chat the other day. I still couldn’t find any videos 🥺😂. Both sad and funny.

It says online it’s the same specifications as the one Traxxas Suggests we use.
I use Traxxas batteries and chargers. I have 4 batteries- 3s 5000mah. I don’t own anything else yet. I think I understand what you mean but It would be great to see what you mean if you have an image to show me. I don’t really want to post my email address in the comments. How do we exchange emails? Thanks again I really appreciate it. I’ve been looking since the beginning of winter & everyone keeps saying “just plug it into the receiver” so thank you🙏
From those specs, wiring the 8.4V rated fan directly to a 11.1V 3S battery will be too much voltage for the fans. You will need 2S LiPo's, or find 11.1V rated fans, or just wire the fans directly to the receiver. You could probably use a receiver wire extension that would sit outside the receiver box for a quick connect setup? If you still want to shoot an email, it's brettb@amain.com-Brett
Ok I will send you an email later & we can continue this conversation there. Again thanks for helping me out. 😎✌🏻
AMain Hobbies I’ve sent you an email now so you can edit out your email address in your last comment.
Not big on the choice of body
Then get your choice body and who cares anyway
Oh well I can’t voice an opinion? Thought we were adults ...
It's not everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure. But for just protection and durability, it's amazing.
-Brett
5mm thick body? really? grab a metric ruler and check that.
Ok, one second...
It's about 3mm thick.
@@AMain_Hobbies even that's impressive, seeing how the stock shell is less than 1mm
Meh
