that's funny! so far I've done all your mods and jia's in the rear. as for the upper links what i did was like yours but i found some extra plastic spacers in the kit, so i used them... as for the half yours and jia's mod in the rear can you send a picture of where to put your idea at?

thanks

I've not done any more to the truck, it's good fun as it is. The few mods I've done are probably what I'd recommend to anyone building it. Swap the springs so the heavy are in the back, run without the front stabilizer bar, and run the thick one in the back. The spacers under the upper links in the back are a good thing too.

I've driven the truck a lot and went to charge the battery just being interested how many Mahs I'd put back in. I laughed, it was only 1267. I guess just cruising around doesn't eat up the battery too much. People think I'm walking a little dog until they get close. I seriously think I could drive this thing to Cleveland and back and not need to charge it. In fact, today seems like a good day to go for a cruise... check out people's BBQ's, grab a burger and run!

Hey guys.

The stock tires just aren't working well enough in the trail comps I'm competing in with this thing. But I really liked the look and size of em. I grabbed my wheels and tires from my 2.2 Clod, weighted with BBs and all. They actually tuck in a little more than the stock set up, good. Old Moabs and HPI Nitro something wheels. I stuck a mini Moab I made on the back.

I also moved the transmission forward by using the more forward bolt holes in the skid. That centralized the transmission, and moved the motor to a point just barely making contact with the upper link. Good enough, and weight forward. I used Stampede driveshafts and plastic yokes to get everything mated up. Good to go.

The 5000 mah 3S MaxAmps lipo pack is just ridiculous. Besides lasting forever, the voltage with a 35 turn motor is too funny, and serious fun to drive. I kinda wish it'd go a little slower, but the fun factor is high, very.

I kinda like it with these wheels, but I don't know, I need to try something not so, on road looking.

i like it with those wheels on it.

but then again i would put a set of fuchs on a bug

Yeah, but those are cool. Bug is just a rebadged Porsche anyways, right? Sure...

cartronicshn · 09-06-2008, 06:22 PM

It looks ... scratched up

, the tire in the back looks cool

860Crawler · 09-08-2008, 10:55 AM

how does it wheelie now with that tire back there?

EeePee · 09-09-2008, 03:03 PM

Eh it drives kinda stupid now! In a good way.

Give it gas and it won't steer well. Let off and it drag brakes into a nose stand. I'm not complaining though.

Steve182 · 09-09-2008, 03:19 PM

Looks sick with the tire on the back, I was thinking about doing that with mine, but figured the extra weight would mess up its crawling ability.

EeePee · 09-21-2008, 09:50 AM

Took the truck out and when there's water, we all know what happens.

Of course it's too much fun to stop and take pictures, so I have none of those.

Got it home and took off the top to find this mess.

I really need to put my electronics in a water tight box already. I'm testing the Electronics Gods way too often.

Still works fine but I don't like the looks of that, nor do I like smell of the motor.

twisted · 09-21-2008, 12:31 PM

EeePee · 09-21-2008, 03:55 PM

I suppose that's a pretty accurate description

cartronicshn · 09-21-2008, 04:24 PM

i would worry more about the receiver

EeePee · 09-21-2008, 04:33 PM

Hmmm, maybe I can fit the FXR and a Spektrum mini receiver inside the Slash's waterproof receiver box.
