My Slash Project

[WrenchHead]

Hey All; Well here is my Slash Project. It has come a long way from totally stock to where it sits today. Well if I went into great detail it would take forever and no one would read the whole thing through anyways. So since we are a photografic society here are the pics for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for looking and enjoy the show.


All new and shiny. Can't just get the car.

Tossed in abrushed 12turn motor to speed it up a bit.lol

painted up a ProLine Desert Rat lid for it first thing.

SO I was going to leave it all stock unless I broke something. But I couldn't help myself since the stock gear cover had a hole in it that kept chewing up gears.So here is the bugger that started the whole RPM thing.Guilty!!!!!

Then I moved the Stock electrics into my Scaler Crawler for waterproofing and I tossed in a 9 turn Orion Revolution motor and a Novak SuperRooster ESC for some more speed.and a Hitec 645MG servo.And an RPM motor guard.GUILTY!!!!!!again.lol

So then I said I would not add any Alloy to the build unless it broke. But after a nice score on eBay I just had to do it. Here is the culprit that started it.

Next it was a learning curve with jumping and the next item was a set of BIG Bores after this.

Shock matching the pairs.

Had to toss on aset of sox too.

Well after hooking up with Team Go Nads I just had to have a few more RPM parts for my Slasher. Here are a few pics of the killer stuff they sell.

And added a set of old AX-10 rims with some Proline Gladiators

Well I kew it had to happen sooner or later. He He He. Brushless and LiPo.

And a set of MIP CVD's to go with the Bl and lipo power.

And I needed SCAB to set the Slipper to the Bl and Lipo,right.lol

That about does it for now. Well the last mod I did was to mesh the side windows with some painted drywall patch tape hot glued into place.

Hey All; Well time to show the front end some love just like I did the rear. So I scored a RDLogics Alloy front bulkhead for $8 on FleeBay and time to toss it on. So it seems to me I will have to take half the truck apart. Nothing to complicated just a bit time consuming is about all.Well here are the pics to go with.Enjoy.l8r,w


Out with the old and in with the new.

Just had to remove a few screws and push a few things out of the way.lol

Well I have a tip for you. I drilled 2 small holes in the chassis underside on a slight angle. This way I can access the screws that are the shock mounts and the body post mount as well.Here are a few pics.

Now I can just swing the mount out of my way.

And the rest of the job is just swap out the part.

Just finish up by bolting it all back together.

Very nicely done! I love the wheels and tires, and the Rat body! Where can a guy find a set of AX10 rims like that? Those set it off I think. Great job!

 

[Grumpy]

Ya got it looking killer! :thumbup1:

 

[WrenchHead]

Thanks guys. I have switched to the Stock 4X4 PE lid.Here are a few updated pics.Enjoy.

The Axial 2.2 crawler rims are fairley cheep.I scored a set of 4 from eBay for under $25 shipped.
