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. Currently i put in a new Spektrum SR315 receiver i got with my new DX6C and just tested her today she was a blast but at the end her motor was almost overheating at 180 F maximum but ESC was at 130 - 140 F.

Here she is currently.

Plans for the future.

Upgrade ESC and Motor to a Castle Cobra 10 with 1412 3,200KV combo someday

Get a SR515 receiver to replace the 315 which i need for a future upcoming project

Get a Hoss spec center diff

Get the Traxxas clipless body conversion kit and a new Clear stock body

Get a new servo from either Savox or some other company to replace the Amazon special that's in there already
