It was definitely too fine, all I had laying around at the time 🙂

Yeah that's been my experience with it.

For differential oil I always ran really light oil, machinist oil. When I was running carpet more often you want really stiff oil for the right side of the car and less for the left. I would run 80-100wt on the right and 60-80 on the left. Your mileage will vary depending on your track and if it has a banked corners. Make sure you nail the ride height as you want the car as low as legally possible without hitting the carpet during cornering.

@@OvalEdgeRC thanks. It’s flat track high grip blk carpet . That will give me good starting point. We run big block rules with 17.5 motor. Really appreciate info.

@@lloyderc Don't forget to tighten your slipper clutch all the way in, then back out a 1/4 of a turn or less. Also use aluminum gears for reduced rotating mass.

Well said, I couldn’t agree more!

@@MyFart21 I went to actual buy my Traxxas Modified yesterday and the local hobby shop said they have 20 more on order, but they're back ordered almost a month out. The Traxxas rep said they sold three times more than they anticipated. I agree this will certainly render other classes obsolete, I really hope tracks take this into consideration and allow people with Big Blocks or other LCG chassis to update their platform and run with these. Most of the tracks around me are taking the Box Stock only mentality when I feel like they could allow some other subpar parts to allow people more entry into a new class.

Somewhere around $45-$60 is what we pay in the Northeast. Make sure to ask if they’re using laminator after printing, this will help prevent scratches on the actual printed part. Thanks for watching!

inkscape.org it's an open source free vector based graphics program.

Glad I could help

Sorry you feel that way, I enjoy their products. There is also alot of other amazing brands though. Love my Customworks Sprint

People like you give rc a bad name,traxxas is the base of a lot of oval cars so just don’t run traxxas ,and have a blessed day

Hey Ben - So the file downloads as a .Zip. Open that up and export the SVG file to your desktop or some other folder. Now use inkscape to open the file. If you were trying to open the SVG file while it was still in a zip file or you tried to open the zip file, you would get that error message.

​@@OvalEdgeRC I don't see that file extension

The link is in the description, it's at the bottom of the page on the Traxxas Slash Modified page. Cheers

@@OvalEdgeRC thanks bud!

Oh interesting... thanks for the heads up!

Hey Kyle, it’s not the style that we run here in the northeast. That’s ok though, I love the style as well and can tell you these are gonna catch on and be raced.

No its like 20-30% throttle.

Awsum, great vid, thank u🏋‍♂️🏎

Never claimed I was the rule setter, just trying to help out and provide some guidance. Cheers 🍻

I really like that Traxxas put the Extreme Heavy Duty components on this car. Shows that they're commited to releasing better products and not just selling subpar parts.

I'm with you, less classes.. more drivers. We all want competitive racing and not participation trophies. I'm hoping race tracks start to adjust and we see a shift in our current hobby. What's fantastic about this car though... Traxxas has finally recognized the racing scene.

I agree with you, stock out of the box. However, I think rules still need to be in place to specify the parts allowed on the car. I'm sure there are people with LCG chassises and other spare parts that will want to run the class. So who cares if they want to run the ultra shocks instead of the GTR shocks, who cares if they want to use the classic transmission instead of the magnum. I think just defining some of these things opens the class up to more people, while still providing that "spec" class this car needs to be in. Thanks for watching!

@@OvalEdgeRC slippery slope man….this is how our slash class got absolutely ruined. Before you knew it the perceived thought of “necessary upgrades” caused people to walk away. Better ESCs, motors, etc…box stock man…this is the way (lol)

Thanks for watching!

Unfortunately its to late for traxxas to put a late model body on it and change the name. But IMO these will eventually be turned into alot of other classes just like the original slash was. Late Model included.

Who knows, if this product is successful. I could see them expanding the product line and releasing other bodies on the same car. Either way, I’m excited for the car. Thanks for watching!

They did it how they wanted to and I think it’s awesome! If people don’t like it that’s just the way it goes. Lol

Yeah I've got more slashes than I wish I did. An old track I raced at used to run a stock slash clash, so that was fun for my kiddo and I. However, they closed. Only so many mudbosses I need to build out of them. Thanks for watching!

@Designatedeagle Haha... one word Christmas! I learned how to be a savvy shopper from the wife! 🤣

Thanks for the support 😀

I think you have me confused with another RUclipsr, I haven’t done a live stream event. I totally agree with your perspective here.

Thanks! Will do!

I think this is just a more complete kit. Being $380 and still needing a battery and charger. I don’t think your saving any money. However, you are getting a car that has much higher quality components.

@@OvalEdgeRC I don't think there is a dirt oval track here for r/c racing, after seeing this come out I am tempted to clear off a small oval on my property around my small crawler course and get one to play around with.

Yeah I agree… maybe I’ll do a DIY video for people who want to make their own wrap.

Or do you mean not imca or wissota

I don’t think Salvas will respond to the new car. If you follow Eric on Facebook you can see his position on the new car.

Thanks for watching!

Hey Kyle, those are JACO Prism foam tires.

Thanks Spider, I really enjoy good racing and I don’t need to win all the time to understand accomplishment.

Hi Jeremy! no I spray them out with Lectra electronics cleaner. As I mentioned in my 12T video if the commutator is dirty use a dab of brasso and hand crank the motor until the grinding smoothes out. Then clean with electronics cleaner and reoil the bushings.

@OvalEdgeRC I'll be going to watch that video, ty! I did see you mention the electronics cleaner in your tool video after I asked this, lol. I'm jumping back into the hobby, trying to treat my traxxas bigfoot with the love it deserves. Thanks for the great videos!

If you got any questions feel free to shoot them over. I'm deep into RC racing at this point and live and breathe this stuff on a daily basis. @@jeremydonaher8338

@@OvalEdgeRC Awesome will do!

Yes any block would work, just know the rules for your track if it has a ride height rule.

8.38 is the highest my punisher’s go up to

Yeah we're having a blast with it, you should try it. Not that expense to get into an entry level class :)

@@OvalEdgeRC I used to do it in the 90's. I had a Grasshopper Electric R/C Kit. I used to get the fastest motors and accessories etc. I had a blast with it.

I have a ride height / shock limiter / shock oil video in the works. I've filmed it twice and just not happy with the results. It's coming soon though. Thanks for the support!
