The screws back out on the right side due to the fact that when the suspension compresses it puts a counter clockwise force on the screws causing them to back out. On the left side as the suspension compresses it puts a clockwise force on the screws causing them to stay tight if you can picture that in your head. Great idea to put them in the opposite way thus reversing the force on the screws! 👍🏻👍🏻

Great tips!!! I have one more tip, the white servo saver, ditch it! I broke 2 servo savers in 2 days! The first one broke after just the first 10 minutes of use! I upgraded to a Traxxas steering arm, recommended from my local hobby guy and I've had no issues running the stock servo! I've recently upgraded to a brushless Hobby Star motor and Esc and a 3s Lipo battery, the stock servo is holding up well so far! Great tip on the rear A-arm screw, as I'm having that problem now with all this new power, lol! Love my Slash!!!

Dont cover screws with glue. What happens when it breaks and you have to replace it?

1- I made my own body washers out of the tops of Pringles containers. I cut em up and was good to go. 2-if you put the shoogoo in the bumper like you said, you can no longer get the screws out of the holes you just plugged. I would use hot glue instead because you can get it out with needle nose pliers easier. I recommend hot glue instead of shoogoo. 3-nice tip 4-that's what I do! 5-also a nice tip.

If you do the second hint u can’t attach a sway bar. So if u plan on doing any upgrades don’t do it.

Those 2 tips about the screws are awesome I've had a slash for like 10years never knew about always checking them cheers

Great tips, thanks!

Thanks for those tips my friend. I just got the traxxxas slash and I want to do sum mods but I’m not to handy Nijinsky. I wanted to change the pinion, spur and better shocks I also want to do this to my traxxas Bigfoot 1 but I’ll probably just mess it up👌🏻👏🏻from Denver Colorado I just subbed to ur channel

thanks for the tips

Interesting, tip#3, those plastic pieces that come with your shock kit are to lower your suspension. I just installed them onto my rustler today. Made a 'world' of a difference on handling turns on the pavement, no more rollovers. Can turn 180° on the spot without flipping over like it did with the stock setup. They reduce the rebound on the shocks so that they don't fully extend thus lowering your car to the ground. Also stiffens the suspension.

Great video, im gonna use some of these on my rustler

Loving your videos. Great little tips.

What I do for the rear shoulder screws and hinge pins is put a drop of CA on the threads. That way they'll never back out.

“A couple more millimeters to play with” that’s what she said.

Little tip for the body pins. Get rubber washers at the hardware store. Does the same idea and scrapes up your body even less than the stock plastic washers.

Love the shock tip. Gonna use it on my Monster Slash - Thanks!

Last two tips really helpful !

Thank you this is some good info

No doubt that was a great and informative video! Thank you so much! 🤗

great tips

My friend kept telling me to order the hinge pins. Then I saw this video abd realized, yeah, just flip the screws around to the other side. The motion of the arms should not loosen them from The other side.

How about 3 hole pistons to soften suspension, you can lower your truck using fuel tub or o rings, you can soften your tires with pb blaster for more traction, I wouldn't glue my holes because then it's hard to get the bumper off, I also took my electronics out of the plastic junk to make it lighter and moved the speed control down to the chassis. You should also oil the bushings on the motor, and you can cut that foam block in half for more adjustment. My camber out of the box was off a lot so I'd check that too.

Cool tips!! 👍😎👍

Something I did to mine instead of shoe glue for the front I put a small piece of aluminum

I came here looking for a solution to my shocks coming off. Left with more tips I can use!

Take a shot every time he says basically, then try to not die.

I like how he said put the washers on top of the body even though you’re supposed to do that anyway

thanks for the heads up I got a slash 2wd yesterday and I upgraded it to lcg and rpm every thing... I want to do a calab with you of rc cars... I have a kyosho electric conversion that I did and a traxxas trx_4 and my stampeded last but not least my slash..thanks!!

Watching this in 2020 (after quarantine) and apparently traxxas has fixed many of these problems

use tape instead of the glue in the holes in the front bumber

nice video I subscribed

Can you please help me. The antenna on my traxxas slash 2wd is super loose like the blue cover for the antenna keaps falling off is there a way to tighten it down?

Been racing these trucks for a about a year now and never had any of these issues that these fixes would be useful.

Just got my car! will do these "upgrades" even before first drive! - big thanks! Levi from Finland

good video

Don’t cover the bumper holes what if you need to screw them back on

4wd or 2wd which one better

that last one is a good idea..rest i have sorted ..cheers

thanks for the tip on the screws of the lower arms!

I own a slash and most of this was useful except for fix #2 im not sure why you would do that. The only way to change the bumper if it broke is gone.

Oh my God I love you RC God

2:20 Use tape...

Did you put that truck in the dish washer?

Traxxas is the best and it will always be the best and the fastest traxxas is awsome and thx allot for the tips bro it helped.

STRC pin kit is worth it. so is aluminum shock caps, LCG chassis and cheap brushless combo.

when you need to access the steer servo you need to unscrew those screws. . .

PLEASE (for the love of all that's holy), DO VIDEO TUTORIALS FOR: Arrma "Vorteks" -- Upgrades for the track Arrma "Typhon" -- " " Traxxas "Slash" (Fox Edition) -- " " I want to start practicing with the aforementioned RTR rigs at off-road tracks, with the intention of official club racing when I feel ready (asap). I didn't want to get an Associated RC10T 6.2 or RC10B 6.3 kit right away, because like so many others who flock to the @RazorRC channel (and copious other channels), I'm getting back into the hobby after decades away, I.e., I wanted to "feel it out" before doing full builds. My driving is improving quickly (cornering, doubles-triples, quads, straightaways, etc.), so a kit build is right around the corner (pun intended). In the meantime, what can I do with my RTR rig/s to make them track worthy for practicing? My current plans are: Proline off-road track tires and wheels (w/ 12mm hex updates) Proline suspension w/ TLR shock-oil (45wgt. in the front / 40wgt. in the rear) Aluminum driveshafts (FYI: the best brand/option is unknown, but maybe you have options for us) Aluminum motor plates (as seen in your "5-must-do-mods" Vorteks video) Servo savers I've bought all the parts mentioned, (x3 of everything for backups). I need to swap things in/out, however, recommendations are appreciated. If you have the time to answer fan requests, please make videos about turning RTR rigs into track worthy trucks and buggies. I know there're a lot of us with the stated goal; as budding superstar track racers that are prepping to ride lightning, I thought it'd be a great topic of discussion. I've searched high-and-low without finding anything... please, give the people what they want brother! NOTE: after asking the RC community @ arrmaforum.com, your channel was recommended by multitudes of people; kudos, bruh!

Bro you save me lot of money💰!! Thanks you are awesome

Oh yeah and also here is another tip for you guys for the shell inside of it put like 2 or 3 layers of duck tape were the wheels are located so that when it lands it wont hit the shell because over the years the wheels them selves could bust the shell and break it so you would have to buy a new one. So their is another tip for you guys😜

I don't have problems with the shoulder screws I have problems with the screws at the bottom of the shock

What’s your secret to keeping it clean?

2:25 bing bang bong

If you have a front sway bar you need them two holes that you Shoe Goo

Why is my slash only going one speed and not anything else

Please help i need help. Ok so my traxxas slash is making a wierd squeaking noise on all 4 wheel arms and its not the shocks so anybody know what i can do bout that?

Are you, by chance, also MTB YumYum? You sound a lot alike.

Amazing how many comments amount to: "Buy [insert much more expensive model] instead of this Traxxas PoS." Missed the point in their rush to bash Traxxas.

What about the slash 2wd vxl?

old vid, but there King Pins, not Hinge 🤙🏽💯

Can’t wait till he breaks or want to change his bumper brace

I don’t have show glue

Basically you can use lock tite to stop the screws from backing out

This truck looks like it’s only seen dirt once!!!

Nice video! Great tips for those of us getting into racing stock spec slash!

Such a poor desing compared to the low c g model. Exposed steering servo is lame.

More like rc life hax

I have 4wd

Hahha gtr shocks don’t use those nasty shock screws

26 times "basically"in just over 7 minutes. This has to be a record!! But basically still good tips though.

im gonna watch these 7 minutes again and count the word "basically", should be fun.

Sup

Basically? What does that mean?

Say "basically" one more time.... I cant watch this..

On the shoulder bolts. Put a little blue locktite on them. Blue not red!

They're not free if it costs a dollar or two

I thought it was going to be a good video until he glued over screws

2 🤔

Damn that's funny

Hey bud. You have to take the bumper off to fix a driveshaft

I am new to the RC world, just got into it with my 5 year old son. However, I am Not New to mechanics or logic. Please dont take the suggestions in this video as a "Trade Tips". Plugging access holes eliminates your ability to tighten the screws, semi-permenant lock tight is a good way to keep screws from backing out (not swapping the direction of the screws or gluing them in place), the tabs that were suggested to cut off are there to keep the bumper from rotating. Not any attempt to attack this guy, but he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Not that I know everything, just do your homework. Good luck everyone!

Show goo isn’t free…

basically, you said "basically", 26 times.

A little locktight on all screws.

Basically, yeah, umm, like, uhh basically, yeah... simple. Shoe Goo is a hilarious substance obviously.

Brushed is yuck never ever buy brushed is lesson number one.

You want some free power? Cut off the connector on the motor and solder the wires together.

Don’t even bother buying a Traxxas they are a bad company, sad but true

Nice video of your palms. 🙄

Basically a decent video. Basically learned a couple things. Basically.

Basically...

Basically a waste of my time. Basically

The dude says 'Basically' way too often.....Basically

#1 free tip: dont buy it!

Olmsted

Fixes for all traxxas vehicles: step one: throw it in the trash step two: buy a Losi 5t or a Hpi baja step three: Enjoy your long run times and no fires!!!

Just because you can make a video doesn’t mean you should

I came for a free fix not a basically free so basically a wast of time basically

These were pointless except for the first one
