TESTING The HANDLING of “The Cheapest Traxxas Slash” After Installing OPTIONAL GEARS And SHOCK CLIPS

- In this video I test the handling characteristics of the “Cheapest Traxxas Slash” Project. I wanted to see how the vehicle would handle and maneuver after installing the High Speed Gearing in combination with the Preload Clips on the front and rear shocks. Does it handle any better with the changes I’ve made?...I also jump the Slash in this video as well!

Hi Nolan, I hope you're well.
Try moving the lower part of the rear shock position closer to the wheels. Traxxas manual, number 5 hole of the lower arms. Hole 1 is closest to the diff and 5 closest the wheel.
Just do that to the rear and you will get a bit of sideways slide action and less roll over.
Regarding a locked rear diff or spool, only for straight line racing or high power drifting.
Do the sway bar kit before you try a lcg chassis kit for a cheaper option to improved handling. That applies to a track or laps of somewhere.
Keep the action going & some more x maxx vids please. ☺
Thanks for the info man! 👍😉
Don’t worry they’ll be more XMaxx footage soon!
Your welcome & thank you. 😊
Oh yea I love it when it flips it’s fun for me
It’s not fun to go get it lol 😂
When you get up to that point they make a sealed differential made of aluminum that takes 200,000 mil. weight lube and it will help with your 2wd traction problems wile still allowing a little slip required for turning ; can be used on 2wd Sash or 2wd Stampede
Actually I’ve got the drag slash trans in this rc now…..so it works a lot better
I put 1 1/4 silicone ear plug did not clean it out. It leaves it slightly loose. Night and day difference. You can spin one wheel (by hand) slowly and the other will rotate opposite direction then speed up the rotation and it locks. Not completely I will add but also will not dump power to the free (inside) wheel. I've had zero issues from this thing. Best 200 bucks I've spent in a long while
I have used the ear plug method before with mixed results. I’d probably try to find a different fix before I do that again....but thanks for the tip! 👍😉
Yeah some stuff really doesn't respond to it, I would say it's see still a open diff just not as open lol best if luck man
@@marshallmotorssc thanks man! 👍😉
I just got the Ultimate with the LCG chassis and sway bars and the nirto fuel line on the shocks ad a bumb stop and jumps and turns good if you go into a turn to hott she flips
Oh and the big bore shock I am so happy with it been bashing it hard for the last 3 days and only broke a A Arm cuz I jumped it about 20ft in distance and landed on a pice of fire wood I have to Mark my track .
@@kurtiscloutier5686 I have an Ultimate as well. The lcg chassis combined with the sway bars and the GTR shocks makes a huge difference especially when comparing it to a 2wd like this one.
Hey bro lil tip got get some nitro gas line and cut 4 pieces and put them on the shocks like a bump stop make a hell of a diff
Really? It can take bigger impacts better?
well I do use 1/inch volume spacers in my shocks but they are proline
but it's more of a track ich truck
on my son's slash 4x4 I did try the spring spacers and we felt like it wasn't really better
so we just swapped the springs managed to fit the red one from proline and 40vol oil in there
so far so good and made a uge difference
i wanted to keep a good ground clearance on is cz he bash the thing like it's an xmaxx lol
@@philippetitley5600 nice! Sounds like you got you and your son’s rigs setup pretty well
@@RCKnockout we learn every time we take them out
I think that's the major reason why I'm getting that passionate about that hobby!there's so much to learn and so many people to learn from
@@philippetitley5600 you’re right. You can customize your rigs and tune them just like the real life thing! 😉
I locked my diff and I’m constantly breaking stock axles, and I only run 2s. Messed up a cheap set of metal Amazon axles too 🤣😂🤣 But I have a VXL
Yeah you gotta be careful when you lock your diff….it makes it way easier to break parts
Sure does. First stock axle before the first battery was done 🤣😂🤣
Rear lock will seriously increase speed And Damage . If a wheel gets stuck on one side like getting wedged in a rock it will rip any axles apart.
Thanks for the info! 👍😉
Lcg kit is 35.
I'm running 13 tooth pinion and stock 54 spure gear try that I think you will be VERY PLEASED I'm running 11.1 50c 5000 mph lipo in my slash
Is your Slash brushless though?
@@RCKnockout yes. Brushless
@@WESTVIRGINIAOUTSIDER gotcha. Mine is brushed so the esc limit is a 2s lipo
@@RCKnockout I always run brushless just seems to out perform over all check my channel maybe something in there may help nice video.s the last jump was ALSOME
@@WESTVIRGINIAOUTSIDER thanks man! I’ll be sure to check out your channel 👍😉
I have had 2 slash's over the years and there nothing I could do make it handle well 😐
We’re they both the 2wd version?
@@RCKnockout yes . Then I got the slash4x4 and a hole different car 😀👍
@@chrisricotta7063 did you ever put the low center of gravity kit on your 2wd models?
@@RCKnockout yes and my thoughts was it handle even worse. I'm on 2 bigger and better rc car now . The 2 wheel drive slash I just couldn't figure out how 2 make it drive well .
@@chrisricotta7063 so did the lcg chassis help prevent it from rolling though?
Hi
So basically it’s a cheap but overpriced piece of crap.. I like mine.. I like trying to control mine.. when ya finally get a solid drifty corner it takes you by surprise and ya get stoked..
