My SC6.1 just showed up 30 minutes ago. YT was on auto play while I opened it up and went through the bags then your vid popped up. :)

You really need the RPM A-arms. The rear ones give you 3 degrees of toe in which helps with grip, and the front arms are a little bit wider than stock. Also, they are made out of much stronger material.

With all those updates and you didn't add sway bars? The cornering and rolling issues are greatly reduced by sway bars. Is there a reason for not using them that I'm not aware of? The real test for me is on the track. Not how hard or easy it is to run, but which car crosses the finish line first.

Traxxas is the best beginner brand due to the parts availability and simplicity but once you get more advanced maybe consider other brands

As a previous owner of a Slash, get the Associated truck. Traxxas is a great gateway drug into RC though! Lol!😀

great video man!!!! I sold my slash about a year ago and have been thinking about getting a new sct but absolutely hate traxxas( except for durability), I think you just sold me on the sc6!

Dig the video man, I have close to $900 in my Sc6.1 at this point. Just destroyed a idler gear, which seems to be a weak point from what I have heard. The anti roll bars helped quite a bit with rear traction.

Most of my rc stuff is traxxas, I just like to go out and bash around, I really don't have a huge interest in racing. If I had a track locally and really wanted to compete, like any sane person I would get an actual racing truck. lol I understand building this for your channel to show but beyond that, putting that kind of money into upgrading a traxxas with the intent of racing is crazy! 😂 I suppose if it was local club racing and just randomly upgrading that wouldn't be bad, that's probably what I'd do really but it doesn't make any sense to upgrade them for anything more than to increase the already high level of durability! lol The 2wd slash lcg chassis is good though, makes a pretty decent difference. My problem here is that you're comparing these two trucks that really have no comparisons. Even after all the upgrades the ae is still going to smoke the slash at a real race. Traxxas's goal hasn't been to win races in 20 or more years, it's to get people into rc and having fun with their friends, and they do that very well! Walk into any hobby shop and you'll find pretty much any traxxas part you need! Traxxas is doing exactly what they want, selling fun! At least you're not trying to say traxxas is garbage, that's my problem with a lot of people, if they were as terrible as some people say they wouldn't be where they are. Yea, they say ready to race, but really that's what's going on in our back yards. 🙄😂

Did you put sway bars on the slash it will improve it’s turning 👍

Man I love your videos thanks!!

I'm fairly new to sct, but am of the opinion that mid-motor mount is superior for handling and overall performance. Am I onto something, or is it one of those "it just depends"?

Awesome dude, liked and subbed 😄!

Simple review, Traxxas is great for "racing" with friends and having fun! Traxxas has never been about actual competition level racing, they've always been about just bashing and maybe racing with your friends. Every Hobby shop sells Traxxas and sells Traxxas parts, which is great, plus stock parts are cheap as hell and durable. AE on the other hand has always been about racing on a serious level. When AE came out with the RC10T they destroyed the competition because they showed every other company what real RC racing buggy was supposed to be! I mean you could also dump 1k into that SC6.1 and you'd still have the same car, just more personalized and maybe more durable but ultimately it'll be just better lol. With Traxxas I just change a few things here and there and basically leave it stock and just enjoy what I have. No sense in really changing something that just works for its intended purpose.

Sounds like the old Sr1 rhino vs rzr debate

It looks like you put the rear tires on the left and the front tires on the right with the Slash. Hopefully it was just to get tires on for the video and not for driving. I'm curious to see if you'll put better electronics and gearing in the slash to make it worth it's upgraded value.

So you e had sc6.1 now for good while what upgrades have you added to the car for added performance not so mich looks.

Didn't see that coming. 😄

Does proline still make the aluminum chassis for the Traxxas slash? If so where can I get one?

I’m just starting sct racing an in running a slash an it’s super fun an very control able

I love the Slash!!! And a great challenge!!! Set up the Slash and it's a total blast to run around an asphalt track! It's a tank and the stock 2075 servo is pretty slow. But it still is a fun rtr and now the the price tag is lower, it's even better!!! The SC10.2FT was insane on the Carpet and I loved the SC5M!!! Even running the 4 gear trans. So I'm pretty sure this new SC6.1 will be incredible on the Carpet!!!

But the team Associated kit is like $300 you can get iy up and running half decent for about $450

How do you feel about the slash vs. the pro SC10?

To sum it it up it is expensive to turn a basher in to an thorobred.

It is like comparing a street car to a Formula One car. A toy vs a Thoroughbread racing machine!

So it’s not even a Traxxas anymore then. Atleast the Associated is still an Associated truck. The only thing that is TraxxASS is the 20$ plastic chassis. Lmfao😂😂

Traxxas will never be able to compete with Losi, AE, Xray, or Tekno. That's why there are Traxxas races with only Traxxas drivers. No point racing a Traxxas against a lighter, faster, and more agile rc car. Traxxas is for bashing, not competitive racing👍

I still love the old school rear motor trucks!!! ;)

Why in the world would you dump $1000 in to a Traxxas?

Well on durability your comparing adding shocks towers etc etc etc do the same to the 6.1 Its a different game as for support lol you do know you can call them they actually will answer the phone lol dollars to donuts there's a reason they win lol bashers traxass add rpm bumpers losi shocks carbon towers. Witn the lcg pan I'd get a piece of 7mm hope coragated sheeting gorilla tape it that pulls the c.f. down more and rigidity up. Imho. Love your videos. Am looking at doing the same with some of my experiences in building and racing. But with a challenging twist

I don't understand why everyone buys aluminum shock caps. You can buy all aluminum shocks and they're cheaper than the shock caps. They're also more durable than the plastic shocks. Yes, you can get more expensive aluminum shocks but they're not necessarily needed. The cheap ones work just as good.

Are you getting videos of the new and improved slash?

The Slash shocks are in front of the shock towers, where they should be. The Associated shocks are behind the shock towers, it’s a backwards car design.

I told u I built a track slash of nothing but parts n built a sct its was just over $1k I think that’s where ur figures coming from since I added mine up n got my inspiration from ur videos only difference is I didn’t start out with a rtr n used mostly hot racing parts

Too diffrent trucks ones for race ones for beginners or children.

I've seen a lot of this guy's videos. I enjoy them. But, dude, it's chassis. As in cha- see.....

This isn’t a good comparison at all.

Still buying traxxas slash, I don’t care about racing

I like Traxxas durability and part availability. Traxxas cars a no where near as fast as performance kits. But i still have fun racing them on the track.

1k for a 2wd slash 🤔🤔🤔....really??

From their beginnings, Team Associated has always been about RACING. Traxxas has been about FUN and BASHING, that right there could have saved you $1000. but at least your learned something.
