Interesting shock tower you have there. The nitros were cut out but the electrics I've never sent one cut out, usually on solid piece.

it’s from proline unfortunately neither discontinued part on the car nearly all the proline parts I have are discontinued

interestingly I found a hobby store that says they have in stock? I might have to buy if it’s true just to have replacement

slash is in a ton of pieces right now and it’s only the rear that’s been removed and the front shocks I need to clean the rear parts before I can reassemble and also find some shocks as well but I’m starting to make good progress on this now, once the rear is done i’ll clean up the front and switch out the receiver and hopefully get this running again, I need this and my buggy finish by sunday before I leave for work travel because I have race the day after I get back lol

I've blown my truck apart so many times, I think I have the world record for the fastest time taking apart and reassembling a Traxxas slash...

update on the slash, I finally got to working on it again, I disassembled and cleaned of the rear and then put it all back together, taking apart the front now to clean and put back together, I feel as though I should have taken some pictures because now i’m like where did this screw go and noticing I put something together wrong when I built this chassis 10 years ago
