My New Slash Build

[bigdaddee]

aquired most everything I will need.

Here's what I am starting with today.
As you can see RPM is a must. I love that stuff. I have almost everything I need but my rpm knuckles hubs castors engine guard/wheelie bar and skid plates are due in the mail Monday or Tuesday. But I was eager to start now so I will replace those items as I get them.

Here's the pics;

Here's what I have accomplished in 1/2 hour of time today

notice the Integy cooling fan? any1 ever use these? I was told it works really well to keep the engine cooler for longer run times.


Green is my color. This will be my beater body for the track and I will start my show body soon. I am going with a Baja body for that. This is the rattler by proline

To Be Continued..........

I heard the fan on the motor isn't even worth it. I was told it just wastes your battery faster. But maybe I'm wrong. Just what I've heard. Looks sweet though! I wish mine was that clean again.

looking good so far!

Looks good. I too heard the fans a waste. Keep us posted on its value.

a fan on the motor seems a little useless do to the smash and crashing people do, but one on the esc seems to be a good idea!

Green is good! Looks fun too!

just run the fan to a smaller batter of the side like one of those 4/AA RX packs that come with the radios that everyone tosses in the trash..but where did you hook up the fan lead too anyways? on my ESC there is no extra ports..

I have a brushless velenion and there is an extra point to connect to but I was running it to channel 3 as I use a TQ3 controler.
