    to start out this is what i would up grade. my slash is a 4x4 and already came lcg equiped but alot of the parts are simular. 1st 4 upgrades i would recomend : aluminum shock caps, sway bar kit, and lcg chassis (if not already equiped from factory) and a lcg chassis brace. the sway bar kit makes a massive difference on my 4x4 truck's driveability. i agree 100% with your comments about aluminum a-arms and shock towers....it looks good but unless the truck is a shelf queen those upgrades are JUNK and will get bent up pretty fast. steering upgrades are next on my "to do" list. thank you for this video, take care 🙂

    Thank You for taking your time to make these videos. I recently bought a slash as my first RC car and wondered where to start for upgrades. I was about to blow money on aluminum parts assuming they’d be superior but what you just said makes more sense. Aluminum is not necessary In all places. I am relieved to know that I don’t need half the things I was looking at. I will definitely be stopping by your store for parts and upgrades. I never knew your shop existed til I came on youtube ! Thanks again and I will be visiting your shop soon for some of these parts.

    I just bought a slash 2wd vxl tsm oba a week ago. The servo died after less then 10 hrs of running😒😤😭 I also broke the left caster block and steering arm and suspention arm. I did replace all this with RPM plastics part and i am verry happy with that choise. Also i can only run my rc in winter there for aluminium is not good at temp bellow -20°C. I love the tsm, it really help keepon control. Also the OBA is freeking cool. Im the first in my small village to have this and everybody is stoping and ask question about it.
    Im already looking for the ultimate 4x4 now and im going to give the 2wd to my 11 year old son.

    @RobertNES816 5 лет назад +2

    I decided to keep the original chassis on my Slash since I like the scale look that Traxxas went for with the body roll and suspension movement. I went with RPM's front bulkhead, nerf bars, spur gear cover and front and rear skid plates. I also upgraded to Traxxas Big Bore shocks just for looks and added strength, plus the anti friction coatings help a little with response. As for the stock servo stripping out well thats a given since people beat the piss out of these trucks lol. As for the motor since I have the XL-5 I replaced the stock titan 12t 550 with a Dynamite 12 turn 550. Its got more low end and mid range torque plus a higher topend speed. Its pretty impressive for a cheap motor!

    I agree with most of this great advice. except having aluminum arms I haven't had any issues at all bashing the hell out this car flipping the car at 60 + on the street going off jumps and all.
    the plastic arm's are cheaper thats a giving BUT they broke easily and so did the bulk head and that nylon bar that connects in the front of bulk i dont know the proper term but i got aluminum arms aluminum bulk and swapped that nylon bar for a aluminum one as well and it was the best upgrade i ever did even have aluminum arms in the rear and used 4wd axles in the rear because there thicker then the 2wd ones.
    All of this with a sidewinder esc and 3800 kv motor lower spur gear and bigger pinion gear this slash has been a beast haven't had to replace anything since i put aluminum parts on. Aluminum is the way to go IMO 👍👍👍👍

    • @stpbasss3773

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  5 лет назад +2

      Thanks for your question (its actually a good one). Before you even upgrade your servo we recommend to change stock servo saver to something a bit more capable. Stock servo saver was designed decades ago for different speeds, loads, abuse and servos. These days with high speed/torque digital servos one needs to modify other elements of steering mechanism to match servo's performance. Upgraded servo saver will let you adjust it to your style of riding (even if you keep bumping into curbs).

    After fixing my truck i took it out yesterday. I run a Velenion 3500 with a 3s lipo and that thing flys. I grab my dad to show him how fast it goes now and after one pass i go to slow down and my car just goes flying in the air. It breaks off a hex and snaps a rear stabilizer clean in half. I just fixed my slipper clutch and steering servo 5min before and its already broken again. It also takes days for parts to arrive since amazon is trying to help get people priority items.
    Out of curiosity do you guys ship? If so how long does it usually take? (Im located in MI).

    The LGC chassis is such a huge improvement it's insane I did it last but I should have done it first. The biggest problem I had was the stupid tq transmitter and receiver it sucks so bad just throw it away and use any other transmitter receiver combo, I use a redcat one in my slash and in my trx4 sport that came with the same transmitter I swapped out for a ecx barrage transmitter and receiver. I'm sure the more expensive Traxxas transmitter's are ok but the stock generic tq with just the steering trim is absolute garbage and I have never use such a bad transmitter/receiver it's funny my exc and redcat transmitter's are 10000 times better on range and have all the options to dial it in and they both came off 140$ RCs lmao, Traxxas can at least give you a transmitter worth a damn since there RCs are not cheap.

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  5 лет назад +1

      Investing in electronics is really a good way to save yourself a lot of headache. Traxxas uses really simple transmitter/receiver, obviously with cheap components etc. That affect the performance. Big time. Changing stock Transmitter/receiver may cure a lot of small problems problems and advance some important stuff such as speed, accuracy, ease of adjustment etc

    This is great. Thanks for posting. I just got a slash after 32 years abstaining from RC. Boy these things are good!!!! You'll think I'm mad, but I'm running on the 50% ESC setting as it's so good compared to the build models of the 80's I'm used to... I'm savoring the 100% speed option............. If your $100 makes them even better (chassis, shock caps and servo were my main takes) then sign me up Roger! Out of interest, what brand battery would you recommend to use in one? Venom? Traxxas? Thanks and stay safe!

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  4 года назад +4

  • @jackg12128
    @jackg12128 4 года назад +1

    I have a brushless 2wd slash and I'm new to the hobby. 2 weeks in, the only upgrades I have on it is one rpm rear a-arm (i have the other one ready for use if needed), a replaced shock and the aluminum shock caps. I drove it today on full speed for the first time since I broke the a-arm, I abused it pretty heavily on my local track (doing jumps and not lading flat, rolling over, driving off the track into the pits 😬) and when my battery ran out, nothing broke! I'm surprised at how much a couple upgrades can do for the durability! I'm definitely gonna get the low LCG kit cuz on the track I'd either spin out or stop completely, or run off the course. Should I upgrade the shocks as well and if so what should I use? Someone I met said to get the proline shocks but those are way out of my budget. And lastly, am I gonna need to replace the servo? Thanks!

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  4 года назад +1

      Hey Jack, yes, we recommend changing stock servo to better servo as it improves the way you feel your truck and control it. However, with shocks, you can get away with stock shock as long as you set the rebound and re-build them

    • @jackg12128
      @jackg12128 4 года назад +1

      RC Street Shop what does rebound mean? And by rebuild you mean take it apart and put it back together with new oil? And will the servo help with my spinning out problem or will I need new tires and if so what would you recommend for driving on road and at the dirt track? Or maybe just a cheapish set of track wheels I can switch out?

    • @Rcstreetshop
      @Rcstreetshop  4 года назад +1

      Yes, the new steering arm will strip stock Traxxas servo. To run aluminum arm you need to upgrade to aftermarket servo with full metal gears and decent torque.

But for some reason I pick the longer rear a arms and need to get the 59 mm camber link because the ends keep stripping out and I lost a drive shaft. And 3s batteries. The thing is stupid fast and I should have learned to drive better before I made it wicked fast.
