Thankyou Steve!

Absolutely the best Ivan Stewart replica I've ever seen.

Nice job!

We did our best years ago with what was available. I remember a couple of us doing up Turbo Ultima's, JRX Pro's, & RC10's Mickey Thompson style. My brother-in-law swiped my Ivan Stewart idea, so I counter attacked with a Roger Mears Nissan.

With the tires sticking way out past the fenders, we couldn't get the right look.

I never cared for the old Bigfoot looking "stadium" truck conversions.

No one offered up anything that detailed then.

It's nice to see a manufacturer finally wake up and produce a truck with real performance AND the realistic scale appearance we've waited for.

Check out Proline's latest Slash body....break away panels...incredible.

Speaking of Ivan Stewart...found this on another forum....

A new pic of this truck after converting it to open mod SC10 class. Running Integy wheel hubs, Kyosho wheels, J concepts tires, Novak GTB with a 10.5, and a Futaba digital BL servo. Much more fun now....

Your truck is awesome!!!


Hmmm...but those wheels...*cough*...well?

(kinda liked it much better before the swap)

Anyhow, keep stompin' those SC10's!

Keith, is that a frog?

I know what your talking about. I have goosebumps on my slash and they have a lot of traction, but it's too much traction. The truck traction rolls like crazy. Everyone at our local track has the same problem. We checked lap times on everyones truks with the stock tires and aftermarket ones, and the stock slash tires allowed the backend to rotate a lot more and the front to slide a little bit on corner entry. It all yielded almost 2 seconds faster lap times. We're only running 15 second lap times. Sometimes traction can be your worst enemy.

I was running -3 degrees camber front and rear, modified the stock diff so that it's now a sealed unit (works awesome), and 0 toe. I since changed to running 0 degrees camber in front, and -1 degree in rear. I also have 50wt losi oil in the front and 45wt losi in the rear. It handles a lot better now that the camber is set to 0 in the front.

Yeah, the Proline beadlocks do look MUCH better, but I got tired of having to rebead the tires after every other run. They worked well till the fine dust made it's way into the beadlock. Then it just gave up hold every couple of runs. Only on the rears though. Can't beat the traction of these 1/8th tires on this truck. I'll give up looks for that anyday.

Many of our locals are using the Proline bowties on the stock size wheel and they seem to do pretty well.

We have a guy here running the new HPI short course truck. Tell you what, for the money it is hard to beat. It seems to do everything very well. Jumps level, tranny is quiet and efficient, rolls through the bumps well. It will be my next truck when this Slash finally bites it.

I just replaced my slash with the Blitz...night and day. Took the Blitz out of the box, dropped in a 13.5, qualified 3rd in the A for Open Corr.

For tires, check out the new Proline Calibers...awesome stuff. The new Proline "split six" beadlocks hold better than the older ones. I heard many complaints about the beads pulling out on the older sets.

that is such a good looking body! I always pay to get mine painted. I think i tried to paint a body once 10 years ago and through it out..lol

Very cool, I love your Ivan Stewart truck!

This is my "Daughters" truck! All stock, to run in stock Slash class. I wish I had some Toyota and Tundra decals!

A friend from TC has some great decals for the current versions of the TORC and CORR trucks. He does quality work.
