We’ve seen the growing popularity of RC street drag racing using machines like the Traxxas Slash. Our friend Tim Smith has been spearheading the movement with NPRC (No Prep RC) and the increase in participants got us on the move to build our own Drag car from a Slash. Luckily we had a donor truck on hand and picked up a bunch of parts for the build. Of course we’re going to document that build in video form. In this video, part 1, we’re going to go over all of the parts collected for the project. If you want to turn your Slash or other RC truck into a street drag car, you’ll want to follow this series.

You have no idea how stoked I am, that this video come up on my recommended videos. I've been contemplating building a Slash/racer, and this series is just what I've been hoping to find and watch. Thanx for taking the time to make these videos and put them out here for all to see and learn. I can't wait to get started on my project !!! Again Thank You👍👍

@rcdriver 4 года назад

Jeffrey Bentz Glad you found it. Hope the series helps. We also have a Proline Racing Slash drag car project series if you need additional ideas.

@jeffreybentz7097 4 года назад

Thank you, I'll definitely check out both build series when the time comes to start gathering parts. I appreciate it very much👍👍

@Bertoslav 6 лет назад

I can’t wait to see what you will make of it! I’m doing a similar project with my 2wd vxl Slash. Can’t wait for part 2 to possibly steal some ideas! Lol

@pepeparent9730 6 лет назад

@rcdriver 6 лет назад

Awesome! Welcome to the hobby, great choice on machines!

@chrisbevins1218 6 лет назад

I just lost my home all of its contents including all my RC cars to Hurricane Irma well I'm not able to afford to build one yet your videos have given me inspiration keep up the good work me and my son will be following every step of the way hopefully to duplicate your built too cool

@aaronthered4126 6 лет назад

No need for shorter front arms with a Parma body. The stock Slash front end fits just fine. Look into sway bars front and rear (I used a all wheel drive Slash front to fit the rear). It helps a bunch keeping it in a straight line. For anyone looking for No Prep Racing info just search for NPRC on Facebook. There are over 20 different groups now. We race twice a month and have anywhere from 7 to 15 cars show up.

@justincunningham6911 6 лет назад

Yellow body black top on the body that would look sick

@jaydenbutler2116 6 лет назад

Wish I had the money for that... good vid!

@xts_eddy9527 Год назад

is the 2.2 front tires neccesary or can i run the stock size

@mikes062 6 лет назад

You should paint it like tri 5 by fire from the hoonigan channel! I'm sure they'd think it's awesome!

@Caseyryan36 6 лет назад

How did you get the rear tires i went on traxxas to get them and they say out of stock i have a funny car and can’t get tires for it

@BryanGarcia-qb2ov 6 лет назад

Amazing I’ve beeb dreaming about doing this for years don’t want to make my slash on road only who knows one day I might buy a slash specifically for a drag car

@nevertolatetorc8948 6 лет назад

Coincidentally I started a street drag car project with the exact same body about 2 weeks ago! I'm using the Arrma Senton 2018 version for the chassis that has 17mm hubs and I'm having a VERY HARD TIME finding a set of tires and wheels for it. I want the slicks or street tires and I want the back tires wider than the front like yours. Does anyone know of a set of tires and wheels that will work on 17mm hubs and get the street drag race look?

@mikeluther60 6 лет назад

The rustler castor blocks fit the jato arms???

@ER11Archives 6 лет назад

I think it will run great and also do you know if there are any places for rc competition in Washington

@adamtebben9512 6 лет назад

What are you going to use for rear hexes? Stock traxxas hexes are 12mm and those rear drag slicks are 14mm I believe. I am also in the process of building one of these and would like to know what you use. TIA

@BreydonsRC 2 года назад

Cool series. Just starting on a Slash that a friend already kinda had setup for no prep, but it still has the stock arms. How do you like the Hot Racing trans? And I know this is 3 years old, but the whole 2 camera back and forth news reporter thing is just not working for me lol. Great vid nonetheless bro 😉

@ponyboy2195 4 года назад

Do you need the lcg to make a street car

@uspatricm 6 лет назад

What about body post/mounts? Will you be using stock?

@ConditionZero76 2 года назад

Old vid but still awesome!! I'm thinking 3s is gonna rip the plastic half shafts apart let alone 4 s 😂 love the thinking tho!! I never understood why No Prep requires 2s only

@fordracerx 6 лет назад

Looking forward to this build as I've been wanting to do one as well. Can you please fix issue with the video. Seems to stop and go during play.

@Rochester_Sub_Productions 6 лет назад

As soon as I saw that old school car body the first thing that came to my head was the monster truck avenger! I’ve always liked the truck and wanted to get a Stampede and put a monster jam body on it. Where can I get that body? Also cool video!😎

@justinbarber8332 6 лет назад

Which 14mm adapters are you planning to use for the rear?

@rcdriver 6 лет назад

Not sure. I know I have some 14mm adapters in a storage bin somewhere. Just have to hunt for them and will mention it in that particular episode.

@gtnation3003 6 лет назад

Does anybody know where I can get all 4 of the funny car wheels and tires for $50?

@shonuff420 4 года назад

OK PLEEEEASE HELP(SHOULD I DO IT THIS WAY?) OR BUY A VXL ALREADY BUILD SO I CAN PLAY WITH IT TILL I GET ALL THE PARTS I NEED????

@chrismiskell8278 5 лет назад

Do you have a part list for this build?

@DeadnCold 6 лет назад

Isn't 3s a little much for a 7700KV, let alone 4s?

@krisjato 6 лет назад

That was my first thought when I heard him say that. LOL!

@Mindcoach1on1 5 лет назад

Well with throttle management and some fans. you'll be just fine.

@Ovrkarloss 6 лет назад

Thinking About Getting A Slash Since They Have Such Huge Part Support And Can Be Converted To Anything It's Gonna Be My First Off Road I Always Liked Scale On Road 1/10 Had One Tamiya Xv01 Though

@rcdriver 6 лет назад

The Slash is a pretty versatile machine.

@Ovrkarloss 6 лет назад

RCDriver_Online You Think It Would Be A Good Start Into Offroad I Wanna Start Racing At My Local Track SDRC But Also Something I Can Bash.

@rcdriver 6 лет назад

A lot of drivers got into racing with a Traxxas Slash. Some tracks even offer a Stock Slash class. It looks like SDRC has a beginner class so you can probably race the Slash in that. I've never been to SDRD, but heard they have a good program, might be a good idea to go there and talk to the track director to help get you going in the right direction.

@flamehawk1895 6 лет назад

I recently bought a $125 Chinese brushless RC car and wanted to run 3s to hit the 40+mph mark, turns out the clutch and differentials couldn't take it. Now I want to buy an RC car and if it's brushed, I want to brushless convert it so it's comfortably running 3s without damaging any components, I have a tight budget of $200 and I know it's not a lot but I've seen lots of ECX ruckus and torment RC cars for around $110 (really good) condition online (obviously 2nd hand) should I buy one and brushless convert it or is there a better way of meeting my RC 'requirements'? 🤔

@mtbviper7153 6 лет назад

You should try a wl toys 12428 convert it to brushless and it will do 50mph on 3s

@flamehawk1895 6 лет назад

VIPER ACR so will my current brushless ZD racing RC but they don't last very long on 3s

@mtbviper7153 6 лет назад

My wltoys 12428 runs fine on 3s i bought metal diff gears a brushless motor and esc and the truck for 140$

@raptorcrazy9545 6 лет назад

Are you going to show this build on the channel That would be awesome looks like it'll be a pretty sweet car have a good one

@rcdriver 6 лет назад

Yes, it the build will be in several parts. We'll probably split it up into 4-5 parts.

@raptorcrazy9545 6 лет назад

RCDriver_Online thank you for the response will be very nice to see the build have a good day

@janvanmunstervanheuven7235 6 лет назад

Where is the part 2???

@nickelbraun5360 6 лет назад

You should get sway bars

@OsmiumBuckshot 5 лет назад

Are you going to stick to "buyable" parts or consider elongating the frame?

@robase2665 4 года назад

Can I use these parts to change over my rustler?

@rcdriver 4 года назад

We’ve seen people converting Rustlers. Many of the parts will work.

@robase2665 4 года назад

Thank you.. I'll give it a shot!

@aviano72 6 лет назад

@vmaxmercer 4 года назад

Replacing the control arms front and rear, new electrons, body, tires, chasis...what exactly is even going to be used from the slash...

@bigbendrcdragracing3538 4 года назад

Transmission, if you buy the Mike Jenkins edition Slash you don’t have to buy the chassis, Just finished mine, was a really fun build.

@chloeiigirl 2 года назад

Hi buddy. I appreciate all your videos. Awesome how you go into details. So easy to fallow for DIY projects I have a huge issue and need help PLEASE. I NEED THAT 55 CHEVY BODY. I can't find one anywhere. I believe Parma discontinued it. I really want to abandoned my build if I can't find one lol. 55 is my favorite of all times. I'm restoring my 55 which is my dream car so I want the 55 as my custom rc drag car. Do you have any 55 body's you get rid of or would you possibly get rid of the body in this video. I know its an odd question but I really really need that 55 body or one like it. Jconcept makes one but its a chopped top with a hood scoop. My real 55 doesn't have that. I want a standard 55 body. Please HELP THANK YOU

@rcdriver 2 года назад

I actually had someone hunt me down last week with the same request. We couldn’t find one. Sorry!

@timothyshaner8926 2 года назад

JConcepts makes a 55 Bel Air body that fits the DR10. Maybe it will work?

@CRUMedia 6 лет назад

Hey dude, my slash is broken! Help It does on a fully charged battery in 5 mins and is very unoowerful. What could be the problem besides the possibility of the battery or charger.
