Yep it's the protrac. Still use the same driveshafts though, haven't had trouble there. I use the 4x4 shafts on my 2wd because they are bolt on and slightly beefier than the 2wd shafts. I can blow the 2wd shafts up all day. The protrac is a very nice option and much stronger than stock arms. The shock braces are superior too.

do you know how much width you gain?

[CrawlinMike]

I don't remember the exact but i know it's 5 or 10mm per side. I'm actually more sure it's 10 each side. They sell special offset wheels to get you back at stock width if you want. They claim the handling is better with longer arms an the inset wheels for stock width. I think it's no difference. Handling is def gained using standard wheels since width is increased. Less roll overs.
I was big into SC racing when slash came out and until last year. I have a very modified slash now lol. I think the only thing stock is tranny internals, body mounts, and I like the black and red body so I have it too.

Well the trucks are getting closer to be done...

[badhoopty]

ok so slash 4x4 vs stampede 4x4... whats different between them?

are they the same platform and the pede is just the monster truck looking version?

i might just cheese out and get an rtr with the velineon system...

the only "real" difference is the Slash chassis/wb is 2 inches longer.
And one of the Slash versions comes with a center diff... oterwise it's just wheel size.

on the other side of the bridge.
It was crossing a little drainage ditch...

So my daughter and her friend went with me.
They just walked the trails, started at our comp spot and I picked them up in Grove 4... where I met you guys the other day.
We should do a gtg and just trail drive like we did the first time, but in a different direction... the park is big.

If you buy a slash 4x4 get Platinum it come with a lot or all upgrades.

[johnnyh66]

yeah, the Platinum has the Aluminum CHubs, hub carriers, sway bars and center diff... You can find them used all over ebay, I'm not sure it's worth the extra cash for a new one though.

i'll just fish the bay and the bst sections for awhile and see what i can find.

edit-

so something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Traxxas-Plat...#ht_485wt_1415

[johnnyh66]

depending on reserve, that's not bad... I looked at a couple that had the CC MMP SC Combo.
The one I bought had all the Platinum upgrades (minus center diff) plus HD motor plate, metal spur and and the MIP driveshafts.

I believe Zero said to make sure you get the HD motor plate and good drive shafts.

[Die-Laughing]

Can I get away with the stock motor plate for a little while or should I ditch it now? Mmp/2400/3s

I've just been running the stock traxxas plastic drive shafts... haven't had a real issue yet. I'd really like to replace them with CVDs though.

Nah... you should be able to be fine with it. I ended up with a Platinum roller, so I had some of it in there already
