Lcg chassis was my first big upgrade on my slash, and it honestly makes the car look a lot better; as well as making it a whole lot more stable.

Yeah It’s definitely gonna perform a lot better handling wise anyways

I had to mod my body so the tires wouldn't rub. But it handles so much better. Hardly ever rolls anymore. You got put a little more pre-load in the shocks for off-road

Great decision, my Slash 4x4 Ultimate is incredible and I swear it is unbreakable. I run the plastic Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Driveshafts always on 3s and for me I've never had a problem until a few weeks ago, they aged and became weak, but when the were still in good condition they would not break for anything or anyone! They are so underrated! 😂 Can I recommend the chassis brace as well? Probably the best upgrade for it in my opinion, Easier to control at speeds on rough terrain and keeps the chassis perfect. (TRX6730) Awesome video and awesome build!

@rt66rc86 2 жыл бұрын

I agree entirely with you! The HS drive shafts that come in the Ultimate are tough and long lasting! I'll also be adding that chassis brace to mine as well. I'm not a basher, just a hill climber and a performance driver! Thanks for the advice regarding the brace my friend!

@@RCKnockout Your videos and repair/maintenance domos really help all of us new to RC people out here that have our hands full with being nervous about first time driving, let alone first time wrenching! :) I had no idea that it was going to be a trial by fire kind of thing in learning to drive one of these things with any level of decent skill! I see so many good videos by a lot of very good, experienced RC guys out here that can really drive, and they made it look so easy! I've been severely humbled by finding out that the RC driving world is a whole nother kind of "thing"... But I'm having a ton of fun and that's what it's all about, so "drive, wreck, fix and carry on". Picked up a new V2 Maxx! Nice rig.

Since you're running the 1412 3200 KV castle motor and the copperhead ESC. Would the RPM cage have fit on the LCG chassis? I know it didn't work out on the HCG chassis. I want to put a 1412 3200 KV Castle motor with the mamba x ESC and the RPM cage on my slash, but I want to know if it will fit first on the LCG chassis.

Yeah that can happen at full lock…..but you can either turn your steering angle down a bit or it could be that the servo horn isn’t completely centered and is turning more in the one direction toward the driveshaft….you’d just need to take off the horn….recenter it and put it back on
