Awesome video...and a well tuned vehicle....mine is coming from traxxas and I will be racing it in the parking lot setups from the Hobby shop...thanks for the tips...I guessed at the shock oil when I bought some and I guessed correct ....
What type of screws are found on these 2WD Brushed XL-5 cars? Are they Hex head or Phillips head? Do all the the Traxxas 2WD brushed XL-5 cars always need to have the blue antenna stick out of the body shell? Or can you keep them under the body shell when driving? thx
for a stock ++ build i would get a vxl 2wd slash then put on the low cg chassis, new tires (pro line trenchers), new suspension, motor/esc cooling fan, body lift kit, and then some durability items like rpm castor blocks, rear bumper, new A arms, and bearing carriers. Do you think that would be a good build? It is expensive being around 800 dollars including the truck, but is that worth it? I looked at two shocks, these pro line shocks being around 140 for a set and one set on amazon GLOBACT set of 4 for 25 dollars, both are aluminum. The question then becomes, do I need upgraded shocks or at least aluminum shock caps?
@@TheHammer for that kind of money, you can buy a trx 4, a battery, charger, and a scale winch for the same price. A UDR is 750 and with a battery/ charger setup is around 900ish but that is stock with no upgrades to grip or durability
@@charliemaybe I mostly race 1/8 scale buggy. I only race the "Spec Slash" class cause it's a "box stock" class. Everyone races the exact same thing and it's a lot of fun.
In the box, my Slash 2wd was having 4 identical tires, didn't know the rear ones are supposed to be different than the front ones :( An other thing that s*x with Traxxas, empty oil shocks and they don't give a single little bottle of oil for them :(
