No shocks or chassis however....

Welcome to 2011..

I can't find your chair....

Took this out the street to play a bit...as it was 60o today. Damn, it's silly fast on just a 7.4v LiPo. I can be at 60% throttle going down the street, punch it and it gets all squirly trying to get traction again. My little guy was driving a slash around as well, and we had to all but drag him bac...

Depending on the track, I wouldn't get too worried, they ran them with some success before adding the 4th gear. Only really an issue on low traction tracks as I understand it, which seem pretty rare in these days of running slicks in off road. :shock: Flipping the motor without the extra gear doesn...

Keep us posted. I know some X Factory guys, might be able to call on them for advice if needed. I'm guessing that turning will be the least of your worries. My main concern is something that I can't do much about until I make some serious changes. I had to reverse the motor rotation as the transmis...

How do you have it screwed down? There's not much thickness to work with is there? Have you ran it much yet? Still looks pretty clean. (see I can do something other than ask silly questions, well sorta anyway) I have it going threw to low profile lock-nuts on the bottom side. The sides of the chass...

Is it? It felt pretty heavy...I'm glad it was not plastic.

My battery hold down came in today.....works great.....its a nice steel plate that has 2 Velcro straps to secure the LiPo. and the plate is bolted down to the chassis. No worries about a Lipo getting loose on a hard crash.

I'm just waiting on a Velcro battery strap plate out of a Axial crawler I ordered to use to secure the battery:

The hobby shop sold me one with my first truck, worst $50 I've ever spent. Shortly after that I bought my Tekin and what a world of difference! Fully charged batteries, every time. I've still got the MRC that I use as a starter charger and top EVERYTHING off with the Tekin. When you've got 8 batter...

I picked up a couple used MRC 959's to take care of charging duties, as they are soooo easy to use as well. You'd be better off with a cheesy Duratrax charger than a piece of :shock: MRC. MRCs are notorious for false peaks and other problems. They just need a fan mod to cure that problem. I have ha...

I got yet another Slash so I can have 2 kids run at the track with me when I finally get out there. Still waiting on some used batteries I picked up from some other forums, but I will have 4 batteries per truck. I also got RTR Losi DSM 2.4GHz radios in each. I took the Tx\Rx from my Speed-T and put ...
