General RC Information
This story begins with a Slash Ultimate... acquired for $150 from a friend which included a Traxxas 3S battery. Got to know the truck for a bit and then began my custom mods. Custom LEDs all around, then gear ratio changes, custom wheelie bar, bigger wheels, and then one day I discovered a Backslash online and was blown away. So next began the Backslash transformation. Slash body, body posts & mounts, bumpers, and side rails all came off. Arrma Typhon body, Sledge wing, and Jato bumpers went on. I did my own custom body mounting system. More custom LED work for the new build and viola! I'm about $400 into it. Total. Everything

Additional Information
- Challenges Faced
- Parachuting body when it was a Slash. Then it was researching, finding the parts, and making them fit right to be a Backslash. Next was getting my custom made wheelie bar design right. Now it's fighting stock motor & ESC temps
