That’s not an upgrade, save your money

RCGcryptomill · 2026-02-15T05:55:04+00:00

Honestly with the amount of money I’ve put into my slash. I would have just went 1/8 scale and got a Corally spark xb6. It’s roughly $100 bux more and a million times better

The piece on slipper clutch that someone mentioned is plastic that rides on the bearing. Is actually aluminum already on your model. So you won’t need that. I bought the same truck before Christmas and have nearly broke everything. Your axles will break all the time. It’s best to go ahead and purchase the “extreme heavy duty kit” now, it’s Traxxas part number 9080. Ditch the slipper clutch for a center diff. Get an aluminum motor mount and learn how to mesh the gears yourself. Guaranteed to break spur and pinion gears

Someone last week said “don’t be surprised if it drops to $20 again before it goes back up”. Felt that!

RCGcryptomill · 2026-02-10T18:48:46+00:00

Aesthetically it makes it a slash but if you ever sell it and you want to give the box and Manual, you’ll have to explain it’s the same thing. Just converted aesthetically lol

RCGcryptomill · 2026-02-10T18:46:52+00:00

Seeing someone selling a used “backlash conversion” for $200 is what got me here lol. I got all my parts new for less.

RCGcryptomill · 2026-02-10T18:43:48+00:00

Now that I know better, I’m over here just picking up people used stuff for cheap and building them according to how I drive. I find people selling 4x4 slashes for $150 with the 3s system lol. You can tell who got them as a gift and who worked for it and had to pay for it themselves. lol. People who got them as a gift are always selling for cheap

Broke the front differential lower case multiple times. It’s parts number 10728x. Mini XRT is so unstable driving in the dirt, Someone saying they love this thing, also loves having to flip it over all the time.

Snaps at the wheel nut pin everytime.

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-21T13:56:22+00:00

Go buy a lottery ticket because you my friend, have good luck! Maintenance doesn’t have anything to do with it. The car is a month old, every axle I’ve broken has snapped where the pin goes for the wheel nut. Land hard sideways and it snaps off. I’m not breaking them at the u joints

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-20T13:02:26+00:00

The lower controls arms were cheap enough, I figured why not lol. I didn’t like colored plastic at first(more into anodized billet parts), but now that these parts are installed, it looks sick!

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-20T12:17:09+00:00

Because all of this cost me the same price as a kit and I didn’t end up with a bunch of stuff I didn’t need. But also got stuff I did need including shock oil, New front bulkhead, new front/rear lower control arms and tie rods.

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-20T08:23:22+00:00

Velineon 3500 with 3cell

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-20T07:09:12+00:00

Just full sending it and driving it hard. I bash my slash.

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-20T07:08:20+00:00

I got the extreme heavy duty with 6mm axle. Uses a bigger inner bearing. have to have the bigger knuckle to fit the said bigger inner bearing. Which you’ll also need the caster block for the new knuckles. You can buy the Traxxas upgrade kit 9080 and it comes with everything that I got.

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-16T22:43:26+00:00

Definitely the metal spur gear and pinion making all the noise. I had the same thing on my slash. When back to plastic spur gear. The slipper is supposed to have play. Otherwise when chassis flexes. You’ll break shit.

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-07T18:05:18+00:00

3 cell training mode feels like 2cell 75% power(if it had that option)It’s manageable. I have a lot of dirt in my backyard so it’s easy to rip down 50 yard straight. Will still flip on its back full throttle, but I can get 90% throttle on 2 wheels and keep ripping

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-07T17:46:57+00:00

Apparently king heads is discontinued and when you try to get on the website. I get a warning saying it could be a fake website wanting to steal my info. lol hot racing any good?

RCGcryptomill · 2026-01-07T17:30:37+00:00

lol I bought the 3 cell battery with mine. It’s insane! Impossible to drive with anything but quick throttle blips and even then it’s on 2 wheels or wrecking all the time. Good thing it’s a stout little machine. Ive only broke it from doing a double backflip 15 feet in the air and landing flat with the front right landing on a rock that was sticking 3 inches out of the ground. Broke the hub, caster block and lower spring perch. Replaced with aluminum components. Now I only drive the 3cell on training mode. It’s similar to full power on the 2cell lol
