Slasher basher, little bit different.

[XSRCdesign]

So I've had this slash since they very first came out, (has 2.2 wheels ni-I'm batts and a brushed motor) and it's been sitting just about as long.

Since I have a exo, and I'm building a yeti, I decided to dog this thing out, and do something different with it (waiting on parts for the yeti)

How it's been sittin for years..




Gave it a bath in super clean and started stripping off parts.

Mocking up tires and wheels.


And the body

And cut out and mounted on proline body mounts.






Now that I know this should work, I have a few goodies on the way. Including a LCG chassis and some RPM goodies.

Stay tuned this one should be fun.

That will look sweet when painted

Shoulda left it and maybe put RPM parts on it. Those things are classics. Still have mine. Had so much fun with it and laughed for hours and hours. For days. For weeks. Laughing. I'm gonna go touch it right nah.

[robn69]

I wanna see this thing done!

[robn69]

Slashes are a ton of fun!
A couple shots of mine!

[humve]

I have had mine for a couple years it is a 4x4 thou but it has been a lot of fun. Jumped it high and landed hard but have not broke any thing yet.

[XSRCdesign]

Got the lcg chassis and RPM transmission installed


Much better

[Wade]

Looking good, I am still wondering what to do with my one slash. Yeti cage on it, street, or rally type. Oh and by the way your parts and paint organization is so nice it makes me sick.


Cheers,
Wade

[XSRCdesign]

Thanks! I just put some new stuff up too, trying to organize the small hobby shop I have down there..

[Wade]

I'm jealous

[humve]

Do you build model cars? I see a lot of them on your shelf.

[XSRCdesign]

Yes I do at times, hence the million or so of them all over the workshop.

Cleaned up the gears and bearings, installed everything in my RPM case and installed some steel universals and a new set of driveshafts.





Drilled out a set of axial aluminum hexes and modified the RPM arm mount to kick that arm forward about a 1/8th inch

Just a crappy Harbor Freight one. Thats a Sherline lathe next to it though

Thanks me too! I still want to slant back the rear though..

Not sure? I'm thinking burnouts are more likely? I have a castle sidewinder here, well actually two.. one has a 4600kv the other is a 5700kv motor. I am leaning towards starting with the 4600.

I got a few more things done, the first was part of the plan the whole time, and I am really glad it worked out. Made a bumper/splitter out of a 12x12 sheet of Kydex.










Next I played around with some more wheels here (running the pede rears was just a touch too much offset still and I had to run crazy camber to clear the fenders) I almost used a set of Wraith wheels, but the beadlocks bugged me. I found a set of HPI super nitro wheels and they fit really well on the front, but the rear was too narrow for those large tires.

I remembered how we used to narrow wheels with pede wheels back in the day so I adapted that idea to try and widen the HPI wheels.. Worked out perfect! now I have to order more (I robbed these from something else..)






and the end result.
