If you said Traxxas should build a race car, then here you go, meet the Slash Modified (Edit: Originally released as the Slash Mudboss). The Slash has been used for various race platforms by enthusiasts, but now it comes out of the box ready to race on a dirt oval track. Traxxas didn’t just slap a Dirt Modified body on a Slash and call it a day. No, there’s lots of new goodies to check out on this car and things that make it more tunable for racers. Greg goes over all the details on this new Slash RTR and hits the dirt oval track for some laps. Don’t have a dirt oval near you? You still should watch the video, trust me.

Correct, but still requires you to remove the transmission to put the pin in from the other side making future maintenance or repairs more labor intensive. The point was, they fixed everything else on the car. It would have been nice if they fixed the pin issue that has occurred “since the 1st gen Stampede.”

Only the advantage this would have would be the LCG chassis. That dirt mod body is going to be heavy with the plastic inner structure. And in my experience short course trucks are never a great choice for “speed runs” after 45mph they’re really prone to blowing over backwards.
