Traxxas Slash Racing Setup How to do it 

I ran spec slash at The Factory once a month ago on carpet and I rented a Slash to run in the box stock Slash class. I was told I could make changes but I couldn’t change the gearing so I laid down the shocks and put some 50wt oil in the front and called it a day. I TQ’d and won the A main. It didn’t need higher gearing. I was getting wheelspin from the stock tires coming out of the sweeper onto the front straightaway.

The cutting board shock towers are super neat

Awesome! Loved the video. Great detail. -- I look forward to your next racing video!!

dude this truck is so illegal 😂. i bet it drives great

Love all of these series you’re doing, I remember when the slash first released and I’d race it in the slash class when short course racing was first coming alive. A few years later as a fun project I bought the ChuckWorksRC mid motor conversion kit for 2wd slash and raced it until I got a W. Cool to see!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great setup!

great video way to make the slash competitive keep up the great info

Great video. Cool build. Fast little truck

Love the series you do, would love to see a rustler up next for a stadium truck class if there is one where you race!

Great information! Thanks.

i know i will not be up that way till next winter but can't wait to run my slash 2wd at big dog and i hope to have a couple more rc's by then. just starting my collection again and have had traxxas a bandit and rustler back in 95 so i know how good they can be when set up right for you when racing them. just glad they have a all metal gear transmission now days because you would strip a idler gear almost every week with them back then while racing them.

Outstanding 😎🍻🍻🍻

Ur suspension tuning setup is ideal for smooth tracks my slash likes it soft with maximum travel on a rough bumpy track i run pro line power strokes all around second hole from inside on the rear first hole up front

I would really like to see the mounting of the front sway bar a bit better

Good luck with your amazing projects!

Nice work brother, Traxxas could learn from you 😀

Great video thanks dude 💯🥸

This is sick💯 I use to race full spec tekno 1/10 scale buggy’s and I prefer watching the trucks turned into race builds a lot cooler to watch in my opinion

Nice ride

That's a well sorted rig. Very nice. Is it odd that I'm taking my Slash in the opposite direction?

Are you running the staggered 2wd wheel setup? The poke outside the body makes me think otherwise.. I dig it

Kool

I may be wrong, but didn’t the old VXL esc have a port for sensored motors?

can you trace the reat tower so I could replicate yours and have a good starting point?

Would you have a setup for a loose dirt track?

What servo are you running again? What kg is it?

Always wondered what your setup was....now I'm gonna copy some of it.......check out the new clipless body mounts......pretty cool......😎👍

I was wondering if you could tell me what your homemade tire sauce recipe is

looking at the half gallon of Beast in that fridge lol

Stupid winter. Stuck inside. Wife even took my belt n shoe laces. But at least these are entertaining

On the shocks, what piston/ wt are you running and are you running limiters?

What did you use to cut the cutting board with?

Natural light, seriously! That's like drinking bud light... But still cool slash

will the shock towers be aluminum or carbon eventually?

What are the shocks that you reccomend for this setup?

I may have missed it but what is your shock oil weight?

Hey I've seen thos wheels in several videos. What are they? Sorry if I missed this in prior content.

Now how about the Bandito set up? Which wheels and tires are you using? Thanks!

What weight shock oil do you run?

Drinking the ole' Financial Light?

Battery permanently mounted? Many clubs require LiPo charging in a bag/container.... obviously no such rule at your track?

In other words you will never be able to copy my setup because of all the proprietary homemade parts I'm not giving you the plans for 🙂. But have fun trying!
