Traxxas sent me the new Ford Raptor Slash, and considering I've never owned one, and always heard about how tough they are, I thought I'd test that for myself. Can I break it? Can it be broken? Watch and find out! Thank you ‪@kpopRC‬ for the awesome camera work. Follow him!

The lcg 4x4 slash will always hold a special place for me because it got me back into rc. In my opinion, Everyone needs a 2wd Traxxas to beat the snot out of. Don't get lost in the aluminum upgrade bs. Rpm control arms, decent drive shafts that aren't made out of peanut butter, and send it! Most fun pr dollar out there.

@snoozeflu Жыл бұрын

In my opinion, the Traxxas Slash kicked off the RC short course truck craze. Stadium trucks were on their way out and there wasn't really a whole lot going on in the RC hobby. It seemed like overnight everyone at my local track had a Slash. My local track phased out the nitro racing class and replaced it with short course. People can have all their opinions of Traxxas but at that time the RC hobby needed a lifeline and the Traxxas Slash helped keep this hobby going.

Oh I've broken everything known to man with wheels , the back half of the chassis eventually goes gears pins axles , but it is a great truck , I remember when the first ultimate edition 4×4 was released 399. I said myself I always buy a new one if these trucks best 400 bucks spent . Now I'm old and cheap don't want spend 600 on a slash 😂. This thing is nice , I'd rather the real one

Honestly, for as tough as the slash 4x4 is, the 2WD version blows it out of the water. Mine was named "The Tupperware Cruise Missile" after a combined 60+ mph head-on crash with my dad's 2WD slash. Only thing that happened was the body basically vaporized, shattered into a few hundred pieces - the actual truck was fine. I clipped the remains of the body back on with the 2.5 body clips it had left and ran the pack out.

This truck is, in many ways, the pinnacle of the Slash platform so far. On top of the time-tested Slash durability, it also has the new heavier-duty hubs and driveshafts, which make it even tougher. These really are one of the best R/C vehicle platforms ever produced.

Years go, I bought a second hand slash 4x4 vxl. it was baldy made for speed; big pinion weird tires AND a steel cage for a 2wd on top. sold the cage, but a +1 over stock pinion in and painted up a new body. Now I need to look at some maintenance, but it held up really nice. You can go round after round with it.

I used to own a regular slash 4x4 vxl and it was amazing from the first throttle pull, I put aluminum shocks, alum motor mount and 2.8 badlands on it and it was unstoppable, hardly ever broke it. Pro tip - get the drive shaft cover, put a strip of Velcro (the fuzzy part) around the opening of the drive shaft hole on the bottom of the chassis near the servo, and make a shroud cover for the chassis to keep rocks and debris out. Oh yeah and NEVER run over dog crap LOL
