Make your own frame for it. Do a tube chassis.

you would need your own chassis pan... or you could add some material to the middle of the chassis kind of reverse of turning a bug into a buggy.

Then you don't have money for this project!!!! Making a tube front end to mount up is about the ceepest and easiest way to go.

You obviously don't even own a Slash yet because if you did, you wouldn't even think about lengthening the WB.

he said that because he owns a Slash and knows how perfect it is out of the box. Take your stupidity to some racer forum.

Instead of asking if it can be done; why not do it and then make a thread about how you did it.

Of course it can be done, anything can be modified.

It is a very easy 4 step process.

Get beer

Drink beer

Cut slash in half

Duct tape back together.



Good luck finding a body with a 14" wb that is that wide

Use empty cans to lengthen and layer between ductape.

I just read this and laughed so hard, you guys are hard core, made soda come out my nose, it burns

I have to agree, the Slash is so well balenced out of the box, WHY is an understatement.

Oh, and btw, this isn't considered flaming on RCC. We're just having fun with you, that's called "giving someone shit".

There's a big difference and this is why.
