Traxxas sent me the new BL-2S Brushless Slash 2WD. Great place to start, with one of the longest and best selling Bashers of all time.

After almost 15 years of the Slash, we still run the most popular class, Slash Spec. Great platform.

The 2wd slash is a blast, brushless is a nice refresh

Good review and I’m glad traxxas finally got rid of the 550 12T motor. I’m sure there will be some happy kids this year

Call me old fashioned but I've bought this 2wd , I still prefer the brushed power down low at my track it favors the brushed power band.

Awesome explanation, Matt. Our local RC track has a class for folks racing a stock Slash, that way everyone has basically the same handicaps. It's a fun class with a slower car, and good for both newer racers and more experienced ones alike. We're going to have to see how the newer brushless ones compare to the older brushed ones compare on the track, and may have to look at the class rules.

Good job Matt, you are one of the few out here who can make an underwhelming-performing RC appear fun. But hey, this is for kids being it can't hit 30MPH even with a brushless motor. Welp, back to changing out the leaky shocks and checking the rear diff in my xmaxx, gotta love Jenny'sRC.

I just got into the hobby summer of 2023 started with a UTB 18 and then I picked up a 2 Wheel Dr. brushed stock Traxxas slash. after about a month, I decided to upgrade it to brushless with the vxl3s. It’s super fast and fun but now I want to take it out and put it in my two speed crawler…. For science😂

Cool vid Matt. One thing I have always thought was a little odd is how open the servo and link rod appear to be on the underside. Would it not be easily damaged/ bent etc ?

@jerryvolpini7987 7 ай бұрын

I've never liked the servo setup on the Slash but, surprisingly, holds up pretty well. Still, the setup of the lcg chassis is much better.

@scalebuildersguild 7 ай бұрын

Hundreds of thousands of Slash’s can’t be wrong! Ha! Seriously though, it’s probably a little exposed, but seems to be holding up just fine!

@Casitascrawlers 7 ай бұрын

It’s my understanding if you get a Slash without the Low CG. chassis you’ll be buying one for it so ya might as well get one with it from the start.

@jerryvolpini7987 7 ай бұрын

And then whine about the price going up?! People are never happy. You add a BL system and they complain about it being 2S or not being fast enough The 2wd Slash has always been an entry level truck and adding a BL system makes it 100% more reliable and faster than any brushed system, making an upgrade unnecessary and saving people money in the long run.. The BL system will be enough for many people and you still can buy the VXL if you're looking for something more powerful. I am NOT a big fan of Traxxas but this one makes a lot of sense 👍

@scalebuildersguild 7 ай бұрын

If you don’t know any different, probably not something you’d “need” right away. Play with it as-is and enjoy!

@d_n_r_rc_racing2449 4 ай бұрын

It's really not needed right away. Some minor shock tuning makes a big difference even with the stock HCG chassis. Keep your throttle and steering inputs nice and smooth/slow and the HCG chassis does quite well.
