    Slash 4x4 Ultimate dune bashing

    We don't have much choice here :) I've ordered 2 sets of beating and that was my first time to strip car up to differentials, really surprised it is not that hard, but really messy if you run car in sand. BTW, I cannot say it is same for 1:1 cars: yes, some rubbers covers crunches from heat, but...

    Slash 4x4 Ultimate dune bashing

    While it become roller without motor, I've took time to check other bearings, and 2 out of 4 bearings around rear axle crunching. On my first run, I've cleaned car with water after, than it got rusted and I've started using WD40 to clean it. Latest way of cleaning it was with simple foam (no...

    Slash 4x4 Ultimate dune bashing

    Thanks, looks good, I will try to get one here for non-dune bashing build (without dirt cover). Here is example how is current configuration works: sand all over the place, but particles bigger than mesh, so, once you got some speed/wind it just blows off

    12v with 0.5a is 6w just to blow :) I will record video if/once fitted, based on server equipment that is a lot. However, main goal is to feed motor with almost fresh 35-50C degrees air from desert to hold temperatures below 100C. For drive shaft, I will start with velcro, like...

    I will try once new motor and heat sink arrives. I've already got fan for motor's sink as it was local shipment, rest are from Amazon US. If it would not pull enough, let's see how it goes with PC fans, but I may need to draw directly from battery, as it is 12v for 3s :) Hope that issue with...

    Slash 4x4 Ultimate dune bashing

    I thought simply to stick that breathable mesh/cover to motor sink's fan, so, it used as filter, using some clips, so you could detach it for maintenance. Traxxas motor has some cage, to prevent things coming into fan, so, should work. but yet again, not sure if it is powerful enough to push air...

    Slash 4x4 Ultimate dune bashing

    Hello, I'm new to RC and got in middle east area Slash 4x4 Ultimate, as I wanted closed wheels and usually SC lighter and easier to run than e-revo, and other open wheel RC. However, I've already cooked my Velineon 3500 by running: 1. without heatsink/fan motor (ESC with fan) 2. with...
