The main reason is the quality of the product. Team RCE is a smaller business and rely on their quality to maintain their reputation. The RCE chassis was built for those who want to convert their slashes into competitive racers. Not saying the Traxxas lcg isn't made for racing, it's just that it has other purposes too. The flat plate of carbon fiber also makes it easier to mount electronics, changing and rearranging layouts to fit your needs.

I would get D8's over the power strokes, more oil volume, and bigger pistons.

Thanks, appreciate it. The BEC worked great with my MMP. All the servo glitching and brown outs problems were gone after I installed it. Even if you're not having glitching problems, I heard it's advised to run it anyway.

The TRCE arms that I have are $40 for one pair, $80 for all four. It's a little pricy, going by the whole protrac kit at $60, but it's definitely worth it. I feel your pain and I got tired of it. I bought 2 extra P-L arms after 2 broke, so it adds up to about the same price. You can get them at trce's website.

I was thinking the same thing. Very nice truck, tons of optional parts, and clearly very well cared for... with stock shafts. Although, there are NOW (not sure about at the time of posting.) the Tekno shafts are available in the Pro-trac length....

Nice I'm new to the hobby but my passion was building motorcycles an ATVs but can't do it no more for medical reasons but my new passion is RCs its been alittle frustrating from time to time learning but anyway I love your build I jus picked up a slash ultimate you gave me a lot to think about thanks bud👍🏻

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

Welcome to the club! Yes you will need double sided tape for the esc and reciever, but you could just drill holes and mount the esc on with screws. The MMP should work fine with the VXL, but if you're buying it new you might as well spend an extra $70 and just buy the whole system. The castle 4-pole motor will give more torque/speed and opperate at lower temperatures.

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

The STRC Bellcrank is awesome, a manditory upgrade in my book. After repeated hits, the stock bellcrank will start to bend and flex, giving unreliable and inconsistant steering. Being metal, the strc one will get rid of the inconsistancy and provide sharp smooth steering.The STRC one also has an ajustable servo saver so you can anjust the stiffness to your prefrence. For $25 it's a great upgrade! I never noticed no one else had a video up. If have time, I'll try to make one :)

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! You've picked the most important parts to get in aluminum, the only other things I would get are aluminum hexes and steering rack, both STRC. I have both, must haves even for a basher :)

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

It's the system the tracks use to count your laps. Each track has a buried wire that senses every time you pass. And when you pass, the transponder tells the system how fast your lap was, your pace, and the leader. They won't let you race without one.

I still have the carriers as they where stock, so I think thats 1 degree. As for the drill bit, the mud guards 3mm screws, so either a 3mm or 3.5mm bit will work.

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

Ok cool. I came up with an idea to make nerf bars out of the front bumper brace on the Slash 2wd, which works well if you wanted to run nerf bars. But really, unless you race in a demolition derby, the bodies don't get hit enough for them to be necessary.

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

Awesome, glad it went well. At first with my Big Bores, mine bottomed out alot. I was using 60 and 80wt with losi springs. What shocks do you have? Usually just requires tuning, getting use to the truck, then figuring out oil weight and springs to use. I learned that running too thick of oil won't let the shocks cycle properly. So running lighter oil (45wt)and linear springs should work out. If not, better shocks should be your next upgrade.

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

Haha yah.... I've been waiting for Traxxas to realease their XO-1 type cvd axles that fit directly on the slash 4x4. They just annouced them, so I'll be getting them as soon as I can!

good vid man, very well done!!! ive got the cc bec on order for my cc mamba monster. has it worked well for you?

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

That it weird. I guess it just comes down to oil capacity. Yours look like they're 13mm bore, while mine are 16mm. So more oil means more dampening. If you don't have one, I suggest buying shock oils in the multi pack to experiment and even mix different weights. It takes a while to get it dialed in. SC10 4x4 shocks are also 13mm, and people that use them on RCE Slashes use 35 and 40wt.

@CyconXc aite ty man, i think ill hold a bit on the aluminm ones. bit to pricy

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

OK cool. The BEC is only mandatory on the Mamba Max because it has such a weak internal bec. You can use the ext. BEC on any esc as an extra precaution, but it's not needed. Same servo works fine with my RX8 without the ext. BEC.

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

Those look like they're quality shocks. But the dampening of shocks depends on how many holes your piston has. Mine right now have 6, and for now it's good, but I might want to try 8 hole pistons because sometimes my shocks can't cycle quick enough on small bumps. I can run 27wt because the D8 pistons dampen alot more than other shocks. If 27 was too thin maybe try 32wt and stiffen your springs a little. But before you do that, check to see how many holes your piston has.

@CyconXc 11 жыл бұрын

Yah I could do that. Would you want the gopro level with surface I drop it on so you can see if it bottems out?

@CyconXc 10 жыл бұрын

Honestly you should just go with the SCTE. You'll end up spending or wanting to spend too much on the slash to make it competitive. The SCTE is a much better platform designed for racing, and it's a strong truck, so it's great for bashing too.

You can completely build a slash from parts that hasn't a single Traxxas component in it. Is it still a Slash? A question for the ages. … like the guys who restore cars and the only thing they don't replace is a piece of the frame with the serial number. Is it still a Chevy ?

Savox 1258tg isn't a HV servo... 6.0v max. Moving your lower shock mount on the a-arm isn't intended to be used to adjust ride height... thats for dampening. To adjust your ride height, use the pre-load rings or clips. Sensored operation shouldn't creat more heat...
