The evolution of my Traxxas Slash

[Mad4Rnr]

Have had my slash forever but never had a thread on it, I did document a bunch of stuff though so here we go, might have some more plans for this thing soon.

First addition was a set of CAC's from RPP, these are the 2.2 x 2.2 wheels and are so nice. First I drilled two holes for air:



Then I boiled the stock wheels and tires for five minutes each to get the tires off. Here they are mounted up to the new CAC's:



I think these are great wheels, they look nice, are an innovative design and easy to mount:

ok something looks funny :o



well there's your problem:


(I guess 3-4 ft airs on asphault arn't good for it)

picked up some RPM gear to get it fixed up, these are nice pieces, way better than stock

I couldnt find the casterblocks and i need to get some shock towers on this beast...

I ordered up some RPM front and rear shock towers and caster blocks. I also changed the shock oil to 35 up front and 45 wt in the rear.



name the hi-lift scale item in this pic...



I also was luck enough to find the new proline body at my LHS







sticks out too far?
