Is 175 shipped to my house from tower a good deal? haha im gonna get one i think for Christmas, might order it today.
I cant wait to upgrade this truck. I have a stampede that is far far from stock and i hope to get this truck to the same level in a couple months.

My Winter Slash

tedb43o2o3 · #**103** 12-09-2008, 02:46 PM

wow thats awesome!

Is it a good idea to put a brushless system on the Slash? or just keep it stock will be fine?

Ihaveaxrayt2r · #**104** 12-09-2008, 03:14 PM

you can go brushless. what ever more fun for you. i tryed both for my slash's or slash i should say sold one. needed the money. amd i like the brushless setup but i change it back to stouck beacause so i can race.

tedb43o2o3 · #**105** 12-09-2008, 09:16 PM

But wont you need a lot of upgrade part for replacement? I heard people change slash into brushless that the stock part cannot handle the speed...

Ihaveaxrayt2r · #**106** 12-09-2008, 09:23 PM

If you read the box it says brushless ready.

Is it better to upgrade slash into brushless, or just stay at stock that will be enough?

tedb43o2o3 · #**111** 12-28-2008, 03:01 AM

some of my horrible body works

Ihaveaxrayt2r · #**112** 12-28-2008, 03:03 AM

Looks nice but I sold mine!

But im going to get another one.

MWEHR76364 · #**113** 12-30-2008, 04:15 PM

Got mine for Christmas but still haven't taken it out yet to see what it can do. Have to make some time to add deans connectors to it. Already added RPM front and rear arms.

Jim Hustins · #**114** 01-07-2009, 06:23 PM

I can't wait to pick mine up tomorrow. I ordered it on line from the guy that runs the local track. Got it for $189.95 at www.dirtcheaprc.com. He is a great guy and a racer. Here are some pics of the body I painted before I even got the truck...

Should at least open some eyes.

For you guys running lipo's, how long are your run time's averaging (stock esc/motor)?

I'm looking to get a 5000 lipo and a couple 3200's.

I put a thread in the body and paint section so it's visible there, too.

Crazy ideas from ProLine!

Ihaveaxrayt2r · #**118** 01-15-2009, 09:27 PM

Wow, that makes me want to get another slash!

surfer · #**119** 01-16-2009, 12:35 AM

That carnage body is sick!! I will be getting that ASAP!

Here is a new hardcore body i painted up today:

jjl · #**120** 01-30-2009, 11:51 AM

Anyone have any intel whether Traxxas is going to come out with a brushless version of the Slash, presumably the VXL? i'm holding off on getting a slash cause i'm waiting for brushless version. those of you who have already added the VXL system, is it too much power? i've seen the Slash flip on command due to too much power, seems the wheelie bar would come in handy.

tedb43o2o3 · #**121** 02-02-2009, 09:02 PM

I was going to get the lipo battery for my Slash VXL, but after i run it with 7.2V battery, for me its pretty good, powerful but easy to handle. It will wheelie with enough grip. I believe 8.4V will be more fun, 11.1V will be too much for sure.

Ihaveaxrayt2r · #**122** 02-03-2009, 01:10 AM

Guess who joined the club lol!!!

Just got a slash with that is cover in rpm partts

And vxl.

My next body is going to be the carnage body.

Can anyone post pics for me intell I learn how to post with my cell lol!!

Very nice, looks fantastic. I want to replace my slash's stock wheel with Rustler's rear wheels, will that works? just like yours?
