Slash 4x4 Foff Style Build, need tips

[stompjrkz400]

i dont know awhole ton about formula rigs, but i couldnt sacrifice my scx10 axles to build one. but i had a slash sitting around and thought i would give it a shot, the first thing i did was put a spool in the rear end, and geared down to a 13 tooth pinon, then i went to my lhs and found some axial 2.2 rims, got the set for 14 bucks, because the screws where missing. and i ordered some proline sand paws.

i dont like around any sand, but there are a ton of gravel pits close, and they have pretty fine gravel. i just got the truck put together tonight, so hopefully tommrow i wil a test run,

i really want to cross water with this setup, i was told a stock slash with a 3s lipo and good tires is capable of it, but i guess ill have to wait for spring

im hoping i dont need to lock the front end, the truck drive very good still with the locked rear, and heavy oil in the front diff. so i can still put my shortcourse tires on for fun.

anyone have any sugestions on how i could improve my rig? , im sure theres always something more that needs to be done.

heres some pics

I say try it out, youll most likely break some axles though. And work on covering up the hole where the driveshaft goes through the chassis.

Rig looks good, Let us know how the test run goes.

Suggestion---try a more aerodynamic body.

Good luck

haha, i feel in love with my dingo body, i just had to use it on something else, i went to the hill today, didnt even get a video, the clutch slipped ( over oiled the bearings ) and after i got that fixed i lost an axle, i was running half worn stampede axles though, i just ordered up a set of slash cv's so that should put me back in business, i just want one of the ponds to thaw so i can try a water run, after i put some foam in it of course!
