Chip's Platinum 4x4 Slash

[chip cross]

Wellllll, I got tried of waiting on Tower to get the Platinum editions instock so I picked one up on my way back from Houston,TX. I have ordered 3 3S 25c 4400maH Polyquest batteries from HobbyCity they had a smoking deal on them 52.00 each. I don't know what paint scheme I will go with at this time.

I am very happy with the way this truck is put together. Traxxas sure used their heads on this one. The 2WD Slash was a great truck well IMO this one is 10x better then it's 2WD brother.

When I get the packs in and get some paint on the body I will post some video. I can't wait to run this truck using my Futaba 4PK. This will be the first time I have used the 4PK in a fast truck so I am kinda pumped to see how well it works. I know it is great for Comp rigs and scalers.

lets meet up chip. I have a 1/16th version of yours since my budget is 1/16th of yours. lol

little man is big enough to travel now so he can chill with the womenfolk.

The truck looks great and i agree the design is very well thought out and looks to be solid and protected. smokin deal on the lipo's too.

Congrats Chip.

Traxxas really did a great job putting this one together. It's nice that it's not just a Slash 2x4 that has been modified to 4x4.

Are you going to be putting in the center diff?

I am still mulling over upgrading my 3PKS to a 4PK.

I am going with the center diff. for sure. The 4PK is spendy but well worth the $$$$ and is far better then any other TX I have used.

this Saturday. you should have your batteries in.
Make sure you charge the batteries for all your trucks, mine will be dead in half an hour and i will need something else to drive.

Are you using the included battery pack?

Also, it looks like it comes with the drop down wheel thingy. Does it also come with the angled adapter?

Yes I am, the pack will last about 6 hrs. The angled adapter comes with the radio, along with some nice screen protectors.
