same here yeah it's pretty amazing

Same here and I've been away the same time frame ,back in the day it was so much different and nitro was a lot of fun but so was electric but with today's electric motors and batteries it's 20× more powerful and more fun 😁👍

@@diggy2107 I stopped RCing a few months after the Revo came out. I owned the t-maxx which I made the mistake of installing the Dynamite .26 upgrade kit. It was way to much power for the original .15 t-maxx diffs though and i was stripping them all the time. Traxxas just released the Revo so I bought it, loved it, and had to put it all away because I was just starting my career and had no time. 2 months ago i saw an electric buggy boasting of 50+mph for only $130. I was bored and bought it. It was my first electric RC car and BOOM, I am right back into it. I still dont have the spare time for nitro so I needed to buy a new electric truck. I saw the newest version of the E-Revo VXL and had to have it. What I did not realize is how much larger Traxxas considers 1/10th scale now a days. I was looking for a truck to lightly bash around the neighborhood with. That is not what the new E-Revo VXL is for. I was shocked by the size and the insane power it puts out. It's by far the best RC truck i have ever driven but there are very few places I can actually use it properly. Now i am thinking of trying out drag racing. BTW, great review.

@Steve Vento nice. I had been saving for my first 1/10 scale crawler for awhile now, originally for the TRX4. But I recently found a original Scx10 with a Rc4wd Blazer hardbody. (With a roll cage) It was my dream body, so I got it used. I absolutely love it, and it is all I need for now.

@Steve Vento the new Trx4s are just amazing as far as technology though

I know right

We have a crew running and it’s out running an x01 right now in 200ft

They had the John Force funnycars too. That is where the "trans brake" that is suposed to be new, comes from.

@@meademorgan6614 Exactly

The light system bad ass. I have 1. Very nice to have.

I want one

@@meademorgan6614 I have a funny car, to this day it still kicks ass

Don’t fix it if it’s not broken

I was thinking the same thing.

You're clearly wrong, the newer esc's feature cap packs fully integrated, and the newer motors are 4 pole as opposed to the original 2 pole motors.

And batteries with a higher more competitive c rating

get arrma hoons 😈

Bro the tires are huge!!

Hmm, not sure honestly. I don't have any experience with that ESC but looking at the manual it shows it being 6S with a low-volt cutoff and all the normal bells and whistles. There must be something different about the new model though, maybe more efficient or lower IR? Not sure the difference but the MXL-6 should work just fine in a Drag Slash. -Brett

might have to do a monster slash conversion do make that body fit

The drag cars have been narrowed, so you would need to have those fat off road tires outside the body.

sounds like a 500 dollars trash.

Well get yourself off that fence and buy one!😂

not really a scam, its hand built and has a more expensive transmitter but, yes i do agree it is a little overpriced

they are on sale til end of sept 2022 for 300 each, or 2 for 500 with a small mini tree. I bought one for 300 and loved it so much I bought 2 more the next day

Whoa there buddy, my dr10 takes offense to that, and challenges you to a race.

i feel you. Get some monster 8s rigs from bangood for that money.

I understand what you mean... For me personal, I wouldn't buy it too (nitro only) but I found out that the TIRES are the most expensive thing on this rc. Only ONE tire (rear) costs about 30$-60$ or more

@@berti_TD1 what it's 40 bucks for a set of two tires from Traxxas

It's $350.

I can see them

@@timothyhafner5442 yes but been on back order only with a few available in store

Yeah, we have some of those parts in aluminum; check this out: www.amainhobbies.com/rc4wd-traxxas-unlimited-desert-racer-alloy-sway-bar-set-black-rc4zs1948/p-qqzktqyqbcqxactz -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks for responding Brett, but I am looking more for the silver bar part that travels between the left and right sway bar arms. Both rear and front but in aluminum. Click on this link please and it will show you what I’m talking about. You have the sway bar arms and then just the sway bar. I am looking for the sway BAR but in aluminum. Sorry it’s hard to explain because they are similar in names.

My friends which professionally run RC drag cars have the motor in the back. That's how they do it. It's nothing about being "faithful" to the looks of real dragsters, it's about what performs best in smallish RC cars. Which is having the motor in the rear. If you wanna buy a truck for looks, don't buy a dragster, they're made for performance first, authenticity second. Cry about it if you want.

It is possible, the outer 2.2 portion of the tire would want to balloon more than the inner 3.0 portion.

I got 66.9 on a 74 tooth spur today, on 2s, and still accelerating with the wheels off the ground. Had to back off as it was windy, and starting to drift off road. Mines a dr10, and about 1.5 lbs lighter out of the box. I've moved weights around to front bumper and front of chassis, and will hit it again. Hoping for 80-90 on 2s. Out of the box, slash is definitely setup better, but don't sleep on the cheaper dr10, my little birdie can fly.

Yes, the arms are shorter. I believe the truck uses a Slash length chassis with the shorter Bandit suspension arms. If you had those pieces lying around you could make this vehicle. Traxxas made a video on how to do just that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6hpaMWXqaveZ5s.html -Brett

66.9, and still accelerating on 2s, but wheels off the ground and no steering. Dr10

@@reallythough4591 a few months ago i got my rustler a 4s upgrade with a 2700kv motor, and its running fully custom 3d printed spoilers and low suspension, just got it running on 140mph with 1/1 gear ratio.

@@DoggoDaOne that's sweet. I'm aiming for 150 on my monster truck sleeper. I amped out yesterday trying to hit throttle too hard and too fast, as I hadn't built up enough speed for a 14lb truck when I gunned ity dr10 is able to run up to 7s, but I have some work to do to keep it under control. On 2s, a gradual pull and she sticks and runs like an arrow. If I floor it, she dives, shimmies and crashes. I have been able to run 3s without crashing, so I'm working on balance and adding more weight.

Fat thumbs, I can't run 3s yet, as the power band just causes the car to rip free and jump end over end. 1st attempt, she did a complete backflip at 50, and landed on the wheels. 2nd attempt, she dipped left then veered right, and rolled sideways for half a block. Last attempt, she did the same, then started flipping end over end when the front wheel dug in. Capable of over 150, but I can't keep it on the road. Too light.

Yeah, i'm not sure. Do you have to set the tire diameter in the app? When you do a speed run, the tires expand and I imagine they help you get a little more top speed. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Hey Brett, thanks for the reply. Yes I was thinking the same, that tire expansion would account for actual true speed. That would mean the Traxxas app is inaccurate. I will look to see if it has the ability to input tire diameter. -Tom

@@AMain_Hobbies Alright, due to my ignorance I thought the app was set for the Drag Slash. I went into it and found I could adjust tire size and also spur gears, and more. Adjusting the app to a 4" tire and 76 tooth spur gear, it now reads a theoretical 43 mph.

@@xKmotx Great, glad it's working! -Brett

Late 67 had big window also, after safety regulations changed. 68 had side marker lights, 67 did not.

Any of your local tire shops have them. It’s one of the styles of weights they use to balance wheels with no lip on them.

Yes it is. -Brett

It’s already built. Add battery and go.

Yes, they are running it stock. It comes with an optional high speed gear in the box.

All the tires and wheels can be changed and replaced. -Brett

Gear down, add fans or go slower. -Brett

Here is the rule book with classes: www.rcdrl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/RCDRL-Rulebook.pdf -Brett

Yea u should be able to because the drag slash is basically a slash with an lcg chassis

It’s just not. Idk what to tell you, I wish it were legal

The goal is to simulate full scale racing. The distance is 130 feet, 1/10 scale drag car, going 65+ on 2s in less than 2.5 seconds closely simulates a 1:1 scale quarter mile run. Some people are reaching 70mph on 2s depending on the build. Also many ESC/motors setup for drag can’t handle 3s.

That's just the wing, aka spoiler. Basically, when driving, air pushes down on the wing helping to create downforce, traction and stability. -Brett

Yes, I believe it's the same VXL ESC and Motor system used with the other VXL-3s systems. -Brett

My dr10 is getting his feelings hurt in this thread, and challenges you to a race, but if you can't hit 65+ on 2s, you may want to sit this one out.

You can check out all the info on the Drag Slash at our website here: www.amainhobbies.com/traxxas-drag-slash-1-10-2wd-rtr-no-prep-truck-w-1967-chevrolet-c10-body-blue-tra94076-4-blue/p-qqqctqwqnm2cqctz -Brett

You could mount it up on the Stampede, but it's a little longer and a little wider than a normal stampede body, so you may have some fitment issues, like the Stampede tires won't sit aligned in the wheel wells. In other words, it won't be a drop in, direct fit. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies all I needed to know thank you for telling me it’s definitely a cool rc may be a cool piece for a Christmas gift from the wife lol

@@oldscoolcooldiecast1879 Yeah! It's easy to forget how that is right around the corner. -Brett

@@oldscoolcooldiecast1879 Great, thanks Donnie! -Brett

Yea, maybe a little longer with the wheelie bar. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies OK good I was just wondering because I want to get the drag slash c10 body for a senton wanted to know if it would work

@@Dixie1969 Hmm, I'm not sure if the wheel wells will match perfectly, they might be off. You have a 3S BLX Senton? -Brett

I just checked the wheelbases of each model: Drag Slash is 12.9 inches (327mm) Senton 3S is 12.87 in (327mm) That's very close to each other, so I'm thinking the wheel wells in the Drag Slash body should align very good with the Senton wheelbase. There might still be some rubbing from the tires, but you could probably trim the body a little with some lexan scissors. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies I am either going to get hoons when I use that body or these duallys I made so it’s going to be like a tow rig

The pinion gear is the main gear attached to the output shaft on the motor; 29T just means the gear features 29 teeth going around it. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Oh ok thank you!

Wrong! 300+$ vxl slash, 80+$ in tires/rims, 50$ unpainted body, bandit arms and turnbuckles, hd driveshafts, and the new magnum transmission put you over 500$!
