I was originally going to get the Trencher 2.2, but then I realized that they are really grippy which I prefer less grip, so it can slide around. What tires do you recommend?

@michaelr1624 3 жыл бұрын

My buddy gave me his monster slash he built over 9 years ago. The tire rubb hard on the A-arms, and it’s turning radius is like 30 feet. What wheels do i need to correct this?

I need a 4" diameter 1.5" diameter GT 1/8 wheel/tire combo. I don't see a lot of options. Would like a wheel that looks good on a Ferrari or other race car. Putting a Delta Plastik body on my Rally/Slash. I want to drive like a car on pavement. Not speed testing straight lines. Do you have a recommendation?

Why cant I keep my front down 3s ultimate on stock tyres

@SlashNBash 3 жыл бұрын

3S definitely has a tendency to put the front tires up. One thing to check is your slipper clutch, you could loosen it slightly to allow it to slip more under rapid acceleration. Since you have 4WD you could possibly adjust the rear diff fluid to something a little heavier to get more power delivered to the front. Also, you could adjust your pinion/spur gear setup for less torque/ more top end speed.

2.8 trencher always strip the hex idk why.

@SlashNBash 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah I've heard that before. I've personally only stripped tires from running in grass/moss and getting it wrapped around the hex adapter and melting the plastic. You can sometimes add a couple teflon washers between the hub carrier and hex to make it a little tighter, and maybe add a little threadlocker when tightening the nut (if it isnt a nylon lock nut).

@gamercat7004 Жыл бұрын

I got myself aluminum hubs to prevent stripped hex drop the rim on the badlands mx wheels but pricey for these hex hubs. But durability is important.

I feel like this is kinda cap. Mine will only pull wheelies on stock tires if I use 3s and hit a small bump to pop the front up

@holidayhares6476 2 жыл бұрын

No, different models of the slash come with different tires. Throughout all the different models of the slash, different tires are used, and your tires probably differ from his.

Don't take this ad vice it's wrong you will break tons of parts . I made this mistake broke mountain s of drive lines and parts. Duratrax sc or similar the slash is designed to spin tires and slide around corners trenchers and bad lands make car run bad and kills the drive line fast.to much grip . Be ware.

@Epic_RC_Time 4 жыл бұрын

Be under no false impressions, the trencher or 'monster slash' tyres are utter dog shit. They expand to pizza cutters after more than half throttle and will RIP the body apart.
