slash waterproof question

[reighard53]

i know that the electronics are waterproof but if your running it in deep water will you have to lube the tranny/diff often?

It should be pretty well sealed in there.

ok thanks just had to make sure

The only thing that will effect the Slash, water-wise, is the motor (not sealed) and fine dirt and mud can get inside the pinion/spur gear compartment. I ran mine at a muddy outside track and some muf got in the spur gear area. washed it off with a hose, 2 screws to remove the spur/pinion cover and washed it out in there too. Just like new again....

Outside of that: Totally sealed.

what about the bearings are they sealed?

 

[Dave63]

They're "sealed" bearings. I'm sure if you let it SIT in water, some might seep in. Just like with any bearing for RC cars.....

Just use the stockers. Thats what i run for all terrains.

As stated: stock. Handling is improved all around by changing to a haeavier shock oil and slightly wider tires and wheels, but mostly for off-road use or loose gravel or sand.

Stock out of the box, it's a hoot just like it is....
