CJ's Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate

A custom Slash 4x4 Ultimate 2023 edition with Hobbywing and Spektrum electronics

General RC Information

Hi everyone, Here's a build showcase about my Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate 2022 edition i bought back in May 2023 from eBay as a slider and installed parts i had from my two previous Slash 4x4's like body, Wheels and tires, and the former electronics then put it all together in May 2023. Last year i put in a new Spektrum SR315 receiver i got with my new DX6C and recently put back in the Hobbywing Max 10 SCT\3660 3,200kv combo since i wasn't to impressed with the Hoss' Castle system in it. It was too slow for me on 3s.

Here she is currently.
