Bought a slash ultimate over 10yrs ago it’s still going. I really like the new ones thinking about picking one up. Love the oversized threaded shocks and the chassis has always impressed. It’s the best Traxxas made imo. The only one I’ve owned that doesn’t track left to right the whole time. I hate constantly trying to 0 the steering on Traxxas models. Nice vid very informative I want one even more now✊
2011 here and same xp. Great aftermarket stuff. Shocks and diffs motor and chassis are very very durable. Drive shaft and and gear housing were and are the weak spot in those early models, letting in sand.
As a rc technician all of my customers just want to have have fun I always tell them buy what they can afford just don't forget durability traxxas is the best in the business. Your videos. ARE AWESOME Sir thank you
I'd have to agree, the 4x4 slash has been a staple in the traxxas lineup. I know less in terms of track performance as I do durability, ease of finding upgrades, warranty stuff. The truck just lasts and lasts, and it cam do a few things well. They make good basher, they can be fast and it sounds like they can be set up for track successfully.
I've had mine since the beginning of November 2021 It's AWESOME so many installed options, so much bang for the buck. THAT Being said, the tires are a trash street tire and poorly glued to the rims of such a fast R/C. It easily overheats on 3s Lipo on a short course AND the tires destroy the inner fenders because they rub. No matter what you do ya gotta get better springs because the belly scrapes on every landing.
I think just a heavier shock oil and pre load spacers work on the vxl non ultimate shocks. Atleast for me. Part of the reason for rub as well is the tire ballooning .
4:50 it is not sagging because is fast and low to the ground, it is sagging because of a shabby and improper setup 😂, these shocks come with extremely mild springs that don’t really do anything.
Wow you dropped it like it's hot. I've seen other channels talk about all the upgrades but the performance you are stating is amazing. WHEN RUBBER HITS THE ROAD
Got my slash ultimate last weekend and didn’t even get a full run in before it melted the telemetry sensor to the slipper, melted the pads and tore teeth off the spur gear. Replaced it with a new slipper a friend had and within 2-3 mins of a run it kept getting loose and burning the spur. Ordered another slipper with the heavy duty rebuild kit and telemetry sensor. Hopefully the heavy duty will fix my problems.
That’s how Traxxas makes their money. They’re money pits. After people realize how easy they are to break, they spend an extra $250-$350 or more to upgrade half the parts and they end up spending nearly as much as they would have if they bought a true racing high quality SCT like the Tekno SCT410.3. It kills me that these youtubers run a few battery packs through a vehicle and say they’re durable… especially when they’re just running on a flat oval. Try a few 3 day organized race weekends on a real off-road track with 25 foot jumps before saying if something is race worthy or durable…. Big difference.
@@JoeTheBlacksmith13 I agree. Thankfully I wasn’t going to use it as a race truck at the local track. I only got it because a group of us that wanted to have a “slash class” for us to beat around and our friends and family who aren’t into the hobby to use instead of our higher end SCTs in our backyard track. Figured I’d spring for the ultimate and spend the few extra dollars since it has the “upgrades” straight out of the box. Frustrating that a almost 600 rtr truck has only ran properly for about 10 mins since coming out of the box.
@@JoeTheBlacksmith13 i gotmine in 2015, id have since sold it but ill never get anything close to what all I put into it since then. Few parts are still traxxas
i am debating between this one and traxxas UDR. which would you recommend in terms of fun and durability factor? alternative body choices, it's clear the slash is the winner. but out of box, the traxxas udr looks too good.
I am deciding whether to get the Slash ultimate or the VXL as I have a low cut grass track. There are attributes of the VXL that I like over the Ultimate. Like the exposed steering servo which makes it extremely easier to center the servo horn. I already have a Rustler VXL and a Hoss VXL that are both heavily modded. GTR shocks and VG Racing springs, Traxxas 2250 steering servo on the Rustler and 2255 on the Hoss, ST Racing Aluminum Bellcrank, Center Diff Kit on Rustler to replace the slipper clutch, fans on ESC and motor, steel axles, Pro-line aluminum hubs, Aluminum hexes, Aluminum motor mount, Pro-line Trencher LP on Rustler and standard size Trenchers on Hoss. Also swapped the Hoss body for a Rustler body to give a lower appearance and possibly a lower stance. Am considering upgrading the stock 3500 motor on the Slash to a 540XL. I like the torque and it still has balls to the wall speed for my grass short course. I would be applying all of these upgrades out of the box. So I’m leaning toward a Slash VXL rather than buying something that has some upgrades and the pan with the buried servo.
2S or 3S battery? I just acquired the Slash Ultimate. Any suggested changes out of the box? Gear changes made? It’s $499 now with lots of extras. PLMK ASAP. Thank you for your time and the video. Stay safe! 😎👊
On the slash I you will break stuff pretty quick on 3s. I found the need to upgrade to RPM A-arms, MIP drive shafts, Traxxas HD center diff or an HD Slipper, XO-1 front & Rear diffs, bell cranks, servo, Mamba X & 3800kv and 17mm hubs. It runs great and mostly doesn't break anymore. The slash is a fun one to run/race with friends.
I've wanted one of these for quite a long time, but I'm hesitant because of the low cg chassis. I'm worried I would lose some ability to drive through my yard as it tends to be pretty rough. I wish Traxxas would make "Ultimate" versions of some other vehicles like the Rustler.
Just picked one up yesterday. Partly because of this great review. I only buy Traxxas and only their absolute best models. I’ve owned quite a few rc’s. The sledge, maxx v2 we’re my only ones I hadn’t sold until now. All bound to one controller with the link. Doubt I’ll be buying anymore anytime soon This completes the collection unless I get into crawling which I doubt.
What's your opinion on the Losi Ten-SCTE 3.0 compared to the Slash Ultimate? I already have the Slash Ultimate for my son, but I would like to know if I should buy thee Losi for myself. If it's better I would, if not then I rather buy another Slash Ultimate. Basically, I want to know which one is better handling. Thanks in advance.
Yep. Could not run mine on 3S without overheating. Got tired of it and put a Copperhead 10 system in mine. I thought they fixed it with the 4 pole motor and newer ESC but looks like it's the same.
@@orion000 Forgot to also mention. The stock driveshafts will take a dump on 3S. I made it about 3-4 packs before the u-joint pins started wearing out the plastic.
Just curious, does this truck have the same motor as the Rustler 2WD VXL? Love my Rustler. I'm trying to decide only first 4WD vehicle and I've been considering the Maxx V2 as well. Too many options. Have any thoughts you can share? Thank you in advance sir.
It's funny... the Slash Ultimate is only $200 Aud less than a Mojave 6s in Australia..... 🤣 I know which one I'd be choosing! The best SCT ever made: Mojave.
Love the slash, but it isn’t a real short course truck. Its really a basher, dont matter how much aluminum traxxas puts in it, still a basher, team associated, losi, and tekno make real, good , performance driven short course trucks. Just to clarify
I don't know man. I think they invented the short course racing category a couple decades a go with this vehicle. This 4x4 ultimate really became significant because of the LCG chassis. Such a handling beast.
Cali619, I totally agree! Yeah the Slash did start the SCT racing, and it's a fun truck to race against other Slash's. But the performance isn't there for serious racing.
Thing is that car the ultimate edition in oz 🐨.. is a thousand bucks.. the team associated is around three hundred less . Biggest difference between team associated and Traxxas is the racing heritage that is with team associated. Even though short course in 4wd has taken a huge backseat compared to 2wd.... For just bashing Traxxas because of its parts availablity (when they aren't as stretched due to current supply being short for spare parts.. ordered things last april eventually gave up and bought from ebay instead of the hobby shop the order was placed with..) team associated depending on where in world , what shops are stocking the cars and parts vs the cars only (where practically everything part wise has to be ordered.. ).. I have a team associated from 2014 (bought then but it was around for release wise about 2 or 3 years. ) I still have it. Its been 100% bulletproof.. not one broken part.. Ive only about 6 months ago bought a used Traxxas slash 4x4 ultimate in roller form (i put a max 10 in it.. ) Haven't pushed it as hard yet as i did the team associated so cant say its good as or not.. Thing is if i bought another sct I'd be looking at the tekno sct410.3... as it is something you could regard as race spec. Vs the team associated pro4 or the slash.
i got the ult but what is the differ than the pro verson according to google the pro is faster and wider but i dont think this is the right answer please help
At my race track the Slashes almost always finish last. Half the time they break and are unable to finish. Also, that servo is incredibly slow by racing standards.
I have ARRMA.. but I see the difference between the Traxxas... I think Traxxas is better than the arrma ... CZ they have their products for such a long time they don't change it they will upgrade it That's the best part so the parts everything is really built is good... I just want to go to a Traxxas...
@@RCReviewChannel I have had overheating issues with it from day 1 even threw another 70$ at it for fans and heat sink to no avail, next step is changing out the ESC and Motor, luckily I have a castle copperhead and a slate 3800 to try , so I won't be spending anymore money on it if that works, but I am through with Traxxas. Yeah its fast, but I haven't been able to even gat a full battery pack out of it without it shutting down. It has hardly any run time since I bought it almost 2 years ago, so I finally got tired of just looking at it and bought the fans, last time out it was 70 degrees out with a cool breeze and got 2 sessions out of a charge with a long cool down after overheating. I was going to try and dial in a smaller pinion but after several suggestions form Traxxas forum , i was told even on a 13T (17T stock) it will still overheat.
Sorry but this is one of the most overpriced and underperforming rtr trucks you can buy. Spend $550 and it doesn’t come with fan on esc or metal gear servo.
Please don't buy this over priced garbage! Buy the Aarma Mojave 4s. Why? Traxxas electronics are trash, you will get a few runs, then it runs out of puff. Mine ran for 5 minutes then over heated and stops. The servo is lack luster and also trash and will stop working. The shock them selves are great, the springs are way to soft, and the oil is way too thin. So you have to replace all the slashes electronics and transmitter, so expensive. The Mojave runs all day, replace nothing saving hundreds.

Don't forget that it also has an aluminum slipper bearing adaptor!
You aint lying. I wish traxxas made a ultimate version on all the 3s trucks. Ultimate Hoss, ultimate rustler, stampede. I'd grab them all.
Excellent review as usual. I personally own about 8 slashes in 1/10. Been racing them for the last 10 years on road. Excellent for that as well.

I have the tendency tt pro and love it last week I bought a traxxas slash ultimate and it rips blistering speed
I did this on my Stampede. It works great! I used a 3/32" first, then a 3/16".
I have two slashes one is a super monster slash . The other is set up for the Tuned for the track.

Yes they are great😃
right?
and for 550 the Ultimate still has crappy Drive shafts
clearly from the video the
