Great decision, my Slash 4x4 Ultimate is incredible and I swear it is unbreakable. I run the plastic Traxxas Extreme Heavy Duty Driveshafts always on 3s and for me I've never had a problem until a few weeks ago, they aged and became weak, but when the were still in good condition they would not break for anything or anyone! They are so underrated! 😂 Can I recommend the chassis brace as well? Probably the best upgrade for it in my opinion, Easier to control at speeds on rough terrain and keeps the chassis perfect. (TRX6730) Awesome video and awesome build!
I agree entirely with you! The HS drive shafts that come in the Ultimate are tough and long lasting! I'll also be adding that chassis brace to mine as well. I'm not a basher, just a hill climber and a performance driver! Thanks for the advice regarding the brace my friend!
@@RCKnockout Your videos and repair/maintenance domos really help all of us new to RC people out here that have our hands full with being nervous about first time driving, let alone first time wrenching! :) I had no idea that it was going to be a trial by fire kind of thing in learning to drive one of these things with any level of decent skill! I see so many good videos by a lot of very good, experienced RC guys out here that can really drive, and they made it look so easy! I've been severely humbled by finding out that the RC driving world is a whole nother kind of "thing"... But I'm having a ton of fun and that's what it's all about, so "drive, wreck, fix and carry on". Picked up a new V2 Maxx! Nice rig.
Love the content. I have been debating on this on my 4x4 but I'm converting it to a monster slash. Will be putting one of the LCG on my 2wd. That one eventually I'll be converting to drag slash.
I wonder if it would be more cost effective to buy the individual leg pieces if you plan to change out things like the need bars, battery tie down, motor mount, etc
@@maltesrc I just used the stock rustler 4x4 body. The shock tower fits right behind the old latch area. I drilled some holes in the top of my shock tower and put some bolts through to hold the body on. I use the proline body mount nuts to keep it looking tidy. If you didn’t want to drill your shock tower you could just use a stock slash 4x4 rear tower
Since you're running the 1412 3200 KV castle motor and the copperhead ESC. Would the RPM cage have fit on the LCG chassis? I know it didn't work out on the HCG chassis. I want to put a 1412 3200 KV Castle motor with the mamba x ESC and the RPM cage on my slash, but I want to know if it will fit first on the LCG chassis.
I do recommend it…..I had one overheating issue running 4s…..but it was in 95 plus degree weather and I was in the sand with paddles….aside from that it’s been great
Yeah that can happen at full lock…..but you can either turn your steering angle down a bit or it could be that the servo horn isn’t completely centered and is turning more in the one direction toward the driveshaft….you’d just need to take off the horn….recenter it and put it back on
Excellent Video. Love this kid (I’m old). Explains everything clearly and slow enough that I can understand. Highly recommend.
Glad you found the video helpful! 👍😉
Thank you so much for making this video… I have a 2WD and got almost everything, for the 4WD upgrade. Thanks to you I got the rest of the stuff.
You’re welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!
Lcg chassis was my first big upgrade on my slash, and it honestly makes the car look a lot better; as well as making it a whole lot more stable.
Yeah It’s definitely gonna perform a lot better handling wise anyways

Oh the strap breaks exactly where u pointed out!! 😆 I wish I could add a photo!
Thanks for the walk through, it really helped me out. I had to put it on 75% speed though, damn you talk and work fast!

Hey man great vid but you put the incorrect screws for what hold the front diff on the bulkhead their countersunk not button head but great video!
Oh I didn’t notice…..it should still work alight though
@@RCKnockout eh would still change it so it’s proper but 👌
@@michaelsrc3281 I’d have to look into it

Yeah the lcg chassis is definitely helpful in the handling department
I just screwed an axial battery tray plate from scx10 to the chasis with straps!!! Works mint! And looks clean!!
Xtreme Racing has a battery tray that installs right in for any slash 1/10 model.
@@gillyboyNY good info! Thanks!

I’m not sure…I’ve never looked into it…maybe if you’re gonna change all that out anyway
Your probably guna need the baterry adapter to run the fat packs same thing just taller with more holes good video love my slash 4x4
What are the fat packs? I think this will fit my particular packs
@@RCKnockout fat packs are usually the cheaper brands make lol the good ones like venom and gens ace are usually slim 3s packs
@@TE-ni7em I’m gonna be primarily running 4s in this one though
@@RCKnockout yeah most 4s are chubby 😆
@@TE-ni7em that’s true lol
Nice video man I have the same set up on my slash but mine is a wide wheel base set up turned into a buggy love it though
Awesome man! Yeah it’s a really good upgrade to do
@@RCKnockout do you have a video where you just change the Pinon gear??
@@HEATHEN_NATION no I don’t think so
@@RCKnockout ok no worries I'm sure I could figure something out.
@@HEATHEN_NATION I’m sure there’s some videos out there on it
I used that chassis to extend my Rustler 4x4.
Same here
What body are you using?

cool kit and install

Will this chassis work with the Slash 4x4 VXL brushless ? It is about 2 years old.
Yeah it will

Honestly I don’t know if it works or not….I can’t remember tbh
does this kit also work with the new bl2s 4x4? since it had all the extreme heavy duty parts. cheers m8
I would assume it would work with the bl2 4x4 version
@@RCKnockout ill post back on friday when mine arrives and ill try it. good vid m8 keep it up
@@kliefhamer thanks!
For bashing u better off hch I have lcg on mine it gets hit bad under not mush ground clearance I wana do opposite lol and go hcg
Yeah that’s the reason why I was reluctant to go with the lcg chassis
how much faster does that castle set up go? does it over heat like the stock motor? and do you recommend to upgrade
I do recommend it…..I had one overheating issue running 4s…..but it was in 95 plus degree weather and I was in the sand with paddles….aside from that it’s been great

What motor are u running?
What esc and motor are you running in this video?
Castle Copperhead 10 esc and 1412 (3200kv) Motor
