Thank you so much for this tutorial. Im brand new to rcs and this is my first upgrade. You went kinda fast for me, lotd of rewind and pause, but I literally could not have done it without your help. Again, thank you so much! Great video, please keep them coming.

Looking forward to this, just orderd my LCG kit for both my 4x4 and 2wd slash. Knew the 4x4 would be easy but ive never taken the front or rear of the 2wd one off. Thanks for the video it helped!

@samb5306 10 жыл бұрын

This video helped me more than the instructions the kit came with. Fantastic Video, could not have done this without the video. There are some small differences coming from a box stock xl5. You have to remove the bumper to access all five of the screws holding the front assembly to the chassis. I suggest putting the screws in a divided box or cups, then labeling the piles. Thanks!!

@Spindrift-id1ez 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this video, It came in very hand... One Note though... Now maybe this is a change in how the kit was made at the factory since this video was made.. But I found that even stock straight out of the box you still need to remove the bumper mount from the transmission. Otherwise the rear end doesn't just slide off.

@D-Wheels 9 жыл бұрын

Great video. Thanks to you I didn't even have to look at the instructions ! My red STRC battery strap still seems to work. Im not sure why yours wouldn't work. My only issue is getting the front suspension how I had it with the stock springs. For me it seems the new springs are a lot shorter and changed up my suspension, but if I leave the HCG springs on without spacers it seems like a little to much. Have to play with it.

@quentinc1275 7 жыл бұрын

Jason S If its brushed, yes they will barley reach but not fully, so they'll come unconnected. I honestly don't know what to tell you other than if you want to keep your stock system, dermal down the chassis and screw holes and ridges that the esc normally sits on and double side tape your esc further back on the chassis, or you could get a VXL or castle system which will reach the motor.

@jasons8798 7 жыл бұрын

@Spanky8402 6 жыл бұрын

I can't believe traxxas did this. I have the vxl but traxxas should have added a extension for the brushed motor or said that this won't work for the brushed. I would have called traxxas and tell them. they could send you 2 bullet extensions to allow you to have the brushed motor as a backup. I would do that if i were you.

@masonhackler2883 7 жыл бұрын

If u had the budget when u bought the car you would've saved a lot of money by getting the 70 mph one, then you wouldn't have to replace the engine until u choose u wanted to be getting like 100 mph instead of 70mph, good shocks for the rustler would be pro line shocks, if u have a local hobby shop you should be able to go in theyre and ask then for best shocks, but that also depends on your budget, I bought the pro line pro spec shocks for my slash and they were $53 at my hobbytown, so depending on ur price range will depend on how fast u can upgrade to alluminum, I'm slowly going to allmuinum because I don't have a great budget,
