It has been a while since I had my Slash out ,upon reading the issue of someone else Traxxas ,I figured that I better break mine
down an check the gear boxes.
As I said before ,these are mass produced ,an some things just isn't done proper or perfect ,an also ,I had bought this second
hand ,so...
Well I got the wheels done ,now on with the next project ,going to fab up some custom
nerf bars ,but it doesn't look like bars ,I guess I will call them nerf plates out of 1/8'' aluminum
plating!
I'm itchin for my own custom signature!....:hehe:
Will show fab shots!
Ok .making progress ,painting the wheels ,an put some decals on ,I need to locate some
product decals though ,it seems bare ,I got this body 2nd hand ,must have had more decals!
Here is another vid after re-changing the rear ,found some AE. Mgt shocks ,got those on.
The truck suspension is a lot better ,more travel ,good rebound with out compromising
anything ,the stanz is great ,the suspension is still nice an soft!.....:celebrate:
I will get a running vid later after...
Well ,I went out in the shed an found my xtra AE. Mgt. shocks ,they are going on the rear ,so
going rechange the rear with taller shocks for more travel!
Here is the vid. ,uh...liked to never found my pass word for Y-tube ,google sent me an E-mail
to verify!
I guess I will have to do more vids to remember!....:hehe:
I am not much into talking an narrating though ,I just let the RC's do that!...:cheers:
Thnx.
I got to make some body post risers to raise the body ,I don't want the tires biting at
my new proline rapture body!
Have to wait until tomorrow afternoon ,have to watch the grandkids in the morning!
Finished the rear shocks ,did have to add the spacers ,but it does have good rebound!
I have before & after vid.but having problems signing in Y-tube....:doh:
I got the front shocks on an boy ,a big difference ,as you can see the rear ,the shocks don't rebound ,
the chassy isn't even rising back up when I push down ,it stays down ,now I'm really anxious on
getting the rear done an test driving it!
I also noticed that the Guy had replaced the a-arms an...
Whoops ,got some fuzzy socks ,I mean shocks!...:hehe:
Better pic of the shocks ,I have to do the rear tomorrow ,my shed is a mess ,so
its going to take time to track down my other springs ,may go copper heavy
duty in the rear as I got 4 of those some where!....:wtf:
I have to do something with these shocks ,its driving me nuts!
Shocks should rebound on their own ,I took the spring off ,an the rod doesn't even try
to push out a little after pumping them ,also the rod seems to have some restrictions
when pulling an pushing on it!
I'm going to pull them apart...
My SCT. came in today!.......:woohoo:
This truck did not come from E-bay ,it came from a private owner on a sales list.
The slashes on E-bay are bomb barded with bidders ,most don't even have electrics ,an
are high priced rollers!
I paid $ 220.00 flat for complete brushless RTR!....:cool:
