I just got a vxl for my slash ultimate 4x4 and it is awesome! By the way it's not your middle diff that's making you flip it's the body if you take it of it can probably go full speed and put some wait in the front that will help also.

Nice man! It’s partially the body…..it’s also the center diff…..I can’t get to full speed even with the body off

@alankowalski8781 2 жыл бұрын

@@RCKnockout you can keep the short course body on the LCG, and also there are several bodies that fit it, that don’t parachute. Proline has several, plus if you check with Schorched RC they have a complete dirt guard that is very reasonable for what it is that stops the air from getting up in the body. Also there are several bodies from Tamiya that are 1/7 or 1/8 short course bodies that fit.

is this the 3mm or 5mm shaft on the motor.
