Slash 4x4 Rally Conversion

[Szczerba]

Great idea on the tire grooving. App, just saw your new post. I might groove my new set that I have coming in this week.

I have really liked the "Stock" DRX "soft" tires for all around use. The rubber does go quickly on harder surfaces though. I ordered another set of softs for the new body I have coming. My original tires are still about 50% good.

Ha, I was bobbin my head to that video. Nice soundtrack "thumbsup". Good to see none of the tread was damaged. Time for some siping on my set.

Why? No matter how much you disguise it. It's still a Slash. Which a DRX can out perform. Unless you have the new Traxxas rally chassis or new Ultimate Slash (rally chassis). You already own the best performing car.

Matgyver,
What about converting a traxxas stampede 4x4 vxl into a rally car. Jang over at URC did jut that, though I'm wondering what I would have to do to the suspension for better handling.

Cheers,

i see Jang has posted the he had thought of using bandit rears a arms as they are shorter then the slash ones, i wonder if that would eliminate the need to cut down the stock arms ?

Well I will tell you the slash 2wd rear arms are spot on. No cutting required. Not sure if those are also used on the bandit or not. But that's for another thread. Stay tuned for Rally v2.0 "LCG".

Where could I get the Subaru Hatchback body for a traxas slash 1/10th scale?

This might be the way to go for my 2wd slash that is sitting and collecting dust
Nice build.

Cheers,
Wade

Has anyone else done this conversion? Would stock traxxas rally wheels work with the DRX body? I read elsewhere that rear bandit arms all around will work?
