Slash Video (several vids)

[CharliesTheMan]

I thought you guys might like to see some video of the slash get together that was held at our last crawler comp. So far we have about 8 rigs, and at the next comp we'll have at least 12. There's some oval racing, demo derby, and just plain crazy stunts.

werent there before. God, some people.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

:stupid: Look above your head, you will probably have to click play. Man, some people!

Nice vids man, I love the how you guys decided to "put them to the test". So tell me, with all that smashing and bashing going on, how many broken parts were there? Some of them poor rigs really took a beating. Looks like good times.

 

[Gundragon]

Man, That looked like it was a hell of a good time! I wanted to pull my truck out and point it to the screen and say "See! That's what you are going to be doing!" LOL And that's when reality hit me. It was actually my wife pointing at the film of the broken wheel and her saying "See and thats why you cannot have any more!" LOL

Great vids though! I wish I had a place to run mine like the area you were at! Thank you for sharing these!

By the way, are those fully supped up or just came out of the box? I mean are they all brushless or just open the box install the new battery and go?

 

[CharliesTheMan]

It was just at a public park near the lake where our crawling comp was. I got a much better place to bash em here, a 120x60 off road RC track lol. I'm telling you guys, these rigs are tough. Most of the video that you see, all of the rigs survived ok. The guy with the broken wheel clipped a wheel at full speed. I've never seen anything traxxas made hold up like these. Most of the problems came from running 7 and 8 cells wide open for any length of time, the motors are melting.

[griemar]

oh, that vid, lol.

 

[Gundragon]

Hey CharliesTheMan, did you guys make the ramps or did you buy them? I would like to see how much or what it would take to build one of those ramps. Not looking to destroy the Truck, but think that will be fun as hell to practice jumping.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

Yeah, you can hit one ramp and make lil jumps without hurting the truck, these things are tough. These ramps were not mine, someone brought them to the meet. You can buy the ramps at Wal-Mart, Target, somewhere like that. Kids use them for skateboarding and such, they're plastic, probably around 20 bucks. If you don't have the materials already, it would be hard to build one for that cheap.

 

[Gundragon]

Sweet! Now I just need to sneak one of those into the cart when I go shopping with the wife for Groceries tonight! LOL

Good luck explaining that one. If it works, let me know how you pulled it off so I can use your tactics.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

ah, how nice it is to be single. It is for this reason that my girlfriends are also into RC's before we begin dating.

It should also be noted that the one of the slash's had mamba 5700 system in it, thus flipping over backwards at 30 mph with the blip of the throttle.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Yea, that one was amazing.

 

[BOUTCH]

Nice vids Charlie!!

 

[CharliesTheMan]

I wish it was better quality video. I was just using my little kodak 7mp throw around point and shoot. I'm going to be buying a nice video camera soon and a Canon 40D camera, just trying to decide which to buy first.

[CharliesTheMan]

Woodie, I have to say that I was shocked to see the way that these things hold up. I've had a Savage and my baja, and these things were taking one hell of a beating and beggin for more. The guy that you see in the khaki colored shirt is quite a big guy. He picked his slash up and hurled it across the park. When it quite bouncing, he drive it back over to where we were.
