Hi everyone, How's it going? Here i have a belated build thread about my Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate the latest one at the time before they had the clipless body available i built this truck back in May of 2023. This was my 4th Slash 4x4 1\10th scale i bought this truck as a roller from Cash4RC on eBay since my old one was needing a lot of work to get it to where i wanted it and made more sense to buy an all new truck and recycle some of the good parts like some 1 run old Traxxas S1 tires on Red and chrome wheels and a used platinum edition body i had from one of my previous trucks. here it was when i first got it.
The truck did not come with shocks from Cash4RC but they had them separately so i bought them along with the truck.
here she was after a run in my backyard yesterday on 2s lipo with my oldest battery a ZEEE 5200mah 2s 50c and my Radiolink RC8X.
Here she is without her body on, She has a Hobbywing EZRun Max 10 SCT 120A 2s - 4s Brushless ESC combined with a Hobbywing EZRun 3660SL 3,200kv brushless motor for a long time this combo has worked well in many truck but either just because i run her on 2s she doesn't have much power or the motor is getting tired and she's also running hotter on 2s - 3s last running season she ran 140 F on 2s with the motor - 165 F on 3s with the motor. Last time i checked she was running a 17 tooth pinion and 54 tooth spur. For servo she's running a DS3218 Pro Amazon special and for Radio system she originally ran a Futaba 4pm (The Old one) and a R304SB 4 channel receiver but since summer of last year i bought a Radiolink RC8X i swapped her over to it with R6FG receiver and she's been running great on it. Hope you all have a great evening and goodbye for now.
