Ive has my two slashes for about 4 to 3 years now and I love the durability and how cheap the parts are!

Love the new upgrades, I have a Traxxas Slash Nitro and my sway bars coming soon . Your sway bars installed are very helpful 👍

Great video I love that low center frame

Great video man! I just got into RC and the slash is my first truck. This is a very informative and helpful video!

Bought a slash today, I love it

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to buy a slash this weekend after abstaining from RC for 30 years! I'll keep it stock. I'm looking forward to messing around with it! Cheers.

I had the same problem. After my brushless upgrade I was happy with the speed bur at the price of control. I did everything you did ex cept the springs.

The nerf bars are great protectors for the chassis and also a handle to carry by.You can also add a thick piece of battery foam in the side to make up for slack on the body

Nice upgrade

This is what i call a good video, thanks a ton man!

I own a Traxxas something truggy, but I'm currently working on a 1/8 stadium truck by exceed RC. Binge watching upgrade videos to decide what kind of parts I want for my ride(s). Thinking about putting a 120A ESC w (2) 60c 3sLipos in series. And a 6ch receiver w/built-in gyro. Hoping Santa brings me a flysky or radio link transmitter.

Nice video and upgrades. What spur/pinion combo are you using and have you considered adding a fan to help with thermal cutout? I seem to have the same thermal issue after a bit of hard bashing.

great video I just received this as a gift.And this video is great

I got the same exact setup but I went with a full locking diff and MIP axles because after awhile the sidewinder will destroy those components

I had the same problem with my slash. After I put the brushless system in I could not keep going in a straight line. I bought a SPECTRUM DX4C with the AVC CONTROL and after setting it up. I really took care of the keeping it straight and no roll overs. You have to adjust it to your style of driving. For me it works great.

Nice garage band music LOL I USE IT SO MUCH

To keep water out of your tires, poke 2 holes in the tire tread 180 degrees apart. This way when the tire spins the water flies out and keeps your foams dry.

Nice vid

Bought this car at goodwill for 20 bucks…. Works great!!

Low cog and sway bars are for clay tracks, my track is community built by volunteers and is mostly loose dirt with some clay. Has big jumps and big ruts. These would be downgrades for me, depends on your track.

You can run the slayer bar on your four by four slash

to get water out of your tiers is to poke hols in them about three in each

Cool video. To me it looks like you need wider and softer tires if that's possible.

What's the name of that spring kit you have, and where did you get it from?

Cool!

Hey I put a hpi 4500 motor in mine bruchless and a water proffreciver also i have a few tricks that's will help with the sway without using the bars

i really enjoy how this music was made in garage band

Just got the same set up on the same car with a 3800kv and it's wild. On 2s it's hard to keep it in a line but I slapped in a 5000mah 3s and it's just stupid. At half throttle I'm double the stock speed and anywhere before 3/4 throttle I can pull the wheels off the ground with ease. I haven't been able to top it out just yet do to not having enough room and as soon as I hit full throttle I break traction and it power slides.

I made a monster slash 2.8 talons lift kit metal servo wide tires its Awsome SMASH...👍

Can I put bigger tires and rims to put on this like maybe 1:10 scale truck tires and rims? Any help is appreciate 👍🏼 great video ty sir💥💥💥

Why didn't you upgrade with savox digital coreless servo. They dont last long

Nice GarageBand beat bro😂 good vid tho it helped 👍

I have a slash 2wd race edition and I barley hit 30 so I’m starting to buy a 4wd or tweak mine super hard. Tnx for the vid

Jeez 5700 that’s insane I bought a slash 2wd with a castle 1406 4600kv motor and vxl esc

just got my 1st slash, added pink linkage and shock caps. still want steering linkage in pink, then not sure what electric im getting yet

That rear sway arm should pivit in the mount. Otherwise it won't transfer load.

You have a sway bar set for the standard chassis. You are running the LCG. That's why it did not work right.

For a basher I would keep the hcg chassis and use the sway bars

Nice

Sway bar kit is all u meeded

Does that chassis also fit the new lipo batteries. Wondering if that upgrade to my old traxxas would allow me to fit the newer taller batteries.

Great video 👍 I love my slash

rear sway bar is still jacked up.

Hey you said you are running an 18t pinion but what spur gear? I think the xl-5 came with a 90t and the vxl brushless model is an 86t

I see you have that 5000mAh battery. I put that in my slash and immediately put the 3000mAh back in. I wasn't ready at the time.

Should a done the blue shocks tho

What’s top speed

Do you think the sway bars really make a difference? anyone

I got a slash 4x4 with brushless with 3800kv where did you get your slicks tires I need a set

When you pressed down on the rear of the truck with the silver bar the right side sway bar link flexed waaaaay out while the left stayed still. That didn’t look good

Where is the list of parts you used?

In stock trim how long will a 5000mha 2s battery last with the brushed motor?

do u believe if if i spend a lot less like $70 for some wltoys 1/12 scale short course truck then I will still have same fun level ? :D

Do you have a video of the motor upgrade?

Please reply I want to know what the song is called

how fast is it on 2s and 3s

Did you change pinion gear with the new motor?

What size motor u got

what was the name of you springs i need some for mine

All you needed was some good tires man. Those are Tiny, of course it's going to go out of control

What cell lipo are you rung that on it's very slow for what it is

Wats that brushless system kv

Does it really increase the speed

My motor burned out today 😭

Can you get on road or drift tires for indoor driving for the Slash? I'm new to the rc world so im not all that sure.

You have fallen into the "Slash upgrade bottomless pit". I bought one of the first Slashes sold in my area. This was when brushless motors were still an exotic upgrade and Lipos were first becoming available. The Slash was so well balanced between power, tires and suspension. Better tires, (I used my Losi Triple X truck tires, as nothing else was available then) and it improved. But once I updated the motor I headed down the same road as you. I kept my Slash competitive for several years. A LCG chassis from Extreme RC was the best upgrade to what I called my Franken Slash. Proline suspension, RPM tranny, the only thing left of my Slash was the body pins. LOL! I bought a used Associated SCT10 and stopped racing my Slash for good. That is until my track stared a Spec Slash class. As it allowed only a change of radio, battery plugs and a 2 cell Lipo I bought a new Slash as it was cheaper then putting Franken Slash back to stock. I was in love with my Slash again and loved racing in the Spec-Slash class. Of all the upgrades you can do on your Slash the LCG is the best. Have fun upgrading your Slash. It is an RC love story for many people.

With brushless setup is it still waterproof

Yuba city?

Can someone send me a link to the motor and brushless system used please im looking to make my truck go as fast as it can and maybe even pass its limit

Geta a 20 tooth pinion gear i have and it will fly

what kv are you using?

What's the song

Lol , I want to make mine as real as posible :)

That music sounded like it was from fr legends

do these upgrades work with the old 5803 slash as well?

Funnest?

dose this work for a slash 4x4

your suspension is way to stiff, its ok for flat suffice but if you take it on dirt with whoops and jumps, its not going to do so well

Springs are way too long. You have almost an inch of preload right from the start. The rear sway bar is useless just take it out. Front sway bar is a must you just need to move the link bars farther inboard. This will stiffen it even more atm you have it set very loose.

all these toys. I wonder what you do for a living?

man... you nust need TSM

i here kids

Tires are really bald.

I think cars are cool but there to expensive for a good one

You don't think you should've fixed that tire problem first?!

Hate to break it too ya, but you didnt "punish" that body worth a shit...it looks like mine did after only two times driving it....fyi recently broke part of the trainy #Driveitlikeyoustoleit

If you had of bought a team associated sc5m or sc6 u wouldn't need performance upgrades because they already come with them. Haha

Did he use a drill to screw it in REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Rotate your tires

You shouldn’t have thrown all that money at such an antiquated crap design. Buy somethin* modern man.

Horrible
