Another brilliant video where you can trust Kevin and his opinion on a RC. I saw his old slash videos and then I got one and wasn't disappointed. I love it.
Slash is great, and it comes in brushed, brushless, 2wd, and 4wd versions, so even a child can learn with an affordable brushed one, and those still go 30mph, 15mph on training mode, which is the IDEAL intro to the hobby, instead of a Walmart one from China. (I actually made one smoke once by hitting a pillow at flat-out 2mph!)
Not sure how I found this channel at all. But I find myself watching this guy every day on my way to work lol. After spending all the money I made at my shitty pizza job in high school on my RC10 I told myself no more RC cars. Rethinking that decision
Watched a video by someone named Sharer I think and it was like 6 minutes of talking for every 10 seconds of driving. Went to the comment section and saw someone complain about the same thing and they said they were coming back to this channel... so glad I checked you out! 👍
Thanks for what you do my friend..I get all my info from your page..im a 43 yr old plumber and hate my job bud but you help me keep going with my hobby you have great info I save lots..and just your happy go lucky lookout on life gives me life to keep going..
Seriously man, Kev, u r my inspiration for the hobby, u know ur stuff, and I always appreciate the hard work u put in to giving us all them videos mate! 🙌 Have to meet someday 👌
In my experience, the pinion came loose after a while of driving in grass. Luckily the spur gear didn’t strip, but I bought a spare just in case. Just a warning for anyone using Traxxas tires: check the tire regularly for unglued spots. My stock Sl4sh Ultimate tires came largely unglued in the front after ~6 months.
Mine stripped spur gears and pinion gears all the time. I changed them to metal and it breaks less often. Also it does terrible on the street I have to get better shocks I tried all types of weight oil and it wobbles like crazy on the street. it’s got a upgraded pinion hears harder steel and 15 tooth gearing. And I put in a differential kit tra6780 and that hasn’t broken but it does strip pinion gears but those are cheap
@@FRSNinja_007 very possible I’m doing something wrong, I took it to the parts store and had it worked on and it hasn’t broken recently. I think I had it too tight. I read online that you’re supposed to use a piece of notebook paper and press down. But I may have been pressing too hard. So it’s very possible I was doing something wrong.
cool video kevin! i've got the slash with the LCG and the On Board Sound equipped model. sounds like the real stadium truck and yep, on 3S, it's a beast! my plastic driveshafts went in the toilet after 5 bashing runs and the steel ones have held up perfectly after 4 years! cheers! keep up the cool videos!
Nice video! Picked up one of these RC's myself and they are an absolute blast. Question though, when you replaced the pinion, what was the size of the hex driver you used for the set screw? The 1.5mm is too big and the 1.3mm is too small and I cant find a hex driver that is in between that lol. I have been using that little allen tool that comes with it to change out the pinon but its difficult with my bear paws I call hands!
@@Supperup40672 well kevin knows the best basher in every priceclass i bought the absima torch 6s (seen on my profile pic) for 470 € and its the weakest rc that i have ever had even my little tamiya tt01 is stronger
Sweet video key! I've just started buying and selling on eBay and I've made my first £500 in the past 2 months, and I'm 15 full time schooling!!!! This is crazy mate! Thanks you soo much for sharing the videos on your second account! It was a huge help. I can finally afford the bits I need for my cars
How amazingly convenient that the Postman turns up everyt time kev is filming a new vid!? LOL. Only teasing you Kev mate! Love this channel! One of my fave YT channels mate! Wes, Liverpool UK.
Got both, 2wd and 4wd, of each, brushless and had brushed, I always loved the slash but have to admit the senton is 100 percent better, slash 4x4 always stripped spur gears

Any tips on how to get IC5 connectors onto battery cables that are too thick for the plastic sleeve of the connector? I want to change my traxxas plugs to IC5
I have the red one since 2015 the same model as yours the ultimate and for sure is the best toy y have ever bought, is simply perfect, any damage so far, amazing.
You know I’ve tried different brands but at the end of the day even though the price is high traxxas is the best fan boys are fan boys for a reason always entertaining Kevin your fan from Texas
You know every time I see his video I always wondered what do you do with those cars after he done filming do he put it in storage did he sell it on eBay or what I'm kind of puzzle about it
Already at 1.17mil dang i remember starting waching this channel it was at 100k its only been 5 years quiet the accomplishment Hes one of the big youtubers now
Iv been waiting for this one mine is a bit different with a steel clutch plate and pressure pads right out of the box and it seems to be a bit faster I haven't changed the pinion gear yet unfortunately it keeps breaking a shear pin in the gearbox I'm waiting on a replacement gear housing I'm not impressed with the plastic one it melted behind the clutch after it sheared the pin again impressive performance tho same model car brushless 3s 5000mah 100c spectrum smart battery lipo if you have one of these batteries give it a few more runs I'd like to see how yours does iv blown out 3 set's of tires any suggestions on some tires that won't blow out
What axles do you recommend for this beast? I've destroyed one factor axle,one "heavy duty" traxxas axle,two HP axles and I can't remember the name of the last set. I only run it on flat ground mostly. It's even blown the factory pre glued tires off the rims. Truck is all stock.
I got my Slash 4x4 Ultimate a couple of months ago and I have been hoping you were going to do a review on one. Looking forward to future videos on the slash.
Nice video,, and yet another good reason for me to save up for the Slash Ultimate.. defently gonna get it soon.. So thanks for showing what it´s all about... your videos giver better insight of the cars then Traxxas´s own videos.
I wanted ask you guys for an good advice... on my e revo 2.0 broke the top of the antenna and now i have just a range of 50 m... what can I do or should I buy a new one? If I should buy one, witch?
hey, i just got a RC truck that is a fox edition baja truck thing, and i upgraded the back arm things that go to the wheel to make it spin to be thicker to prevent it from breaking, should i do the same with the front axles?(my truck is 4 wheel drive)

All you young guys that dont take care of yourselves will appreciate tips like Kevs when you get older. Trust me......
2:25 my man deadass just did a kickflip with a Traxxas slash 😂😂😂
Slash 4x4 is back 😀
Oh my god after soo many months u bought the slash to life I’m sooo happy
ok

If kev has his first child his excact words will be "Hey guys look!We got a new toy!!!"
Underrated
Do you recommend buying the ultimate straight away or a standard brushless slash 4x4 and using the saved money to upgrade its durability?
i would go stright to the ultimate. if you want something cheaper the 3s senton is a better choice i would say

I like the traxxas battery clamp idea - simple and effective.
What about the worlds fastest rc car project?
hope to run it this weekend
Will the Tiege work to smooth out a rough differential?
Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and as shock oil
my pinion came loose also on my rustler 4x4 vxl, gotta use the thread glue lol
Who else skipped the hand cream bit? :)

hey man, I'm not going to lie your youtube channel is a breath of fresh air for me. You reinvigorated my passion for RC cars man thanks!
What is the red switch for on the Traxxas remote is that something new for the ultimate slash I know it comes with the summit to lock the differential
To change gears I think
so what do y'all recommend? a high cg chassis or a low cg chassis?
Considering that the ultimate has the lcg and the regular version has the hcg it seems pretty obvious that the lcg is better.
low
Thanks! I'll quickly order the conversion kit right away! Goodbye 75 euros, hello lcg chassis!
Old kev’s been on top form lately . What’s he been putting in his tea!?
Who else likes watching Kev’s Videos while wrenching on their RC car?
Love your videos and energy!
Finally hit a million?!
I haven’t been on the tube in a while
The paid promotion was hilarious 🤣 keep it at Kev!
how do u know which is the controller for the rc?
Switch over to Mod 1 gearing It will give you way more gearing options And stronger gears
Yea, he's obviously new to RCs....🙄
