i just recently put this sway bar kit on my slash rwd and i don't know who in the right mind would cut out there chassis support without trying all ways before jumping to cutting the main structure of the car you don't build a car and remove structural parts to puts on mods if you need help i have a way that works but for all of you who already followed what this guy did i would start by getting new chassis mount first
Thanks for the close-up shots of the install. Since Hot Racing offers zero installation instructions, this was extremely helpful for my 5yr old’s 2WD Slash. 👍🏻👍🏻
The angel of the bar would have been almost straight up I needed it to be as level as possible. This set also works on the low center gravity chassis. With the original shock towers still running them to this day.
I have the blue intregy lowered chassis with different shock mounts. I take 80mph turns. I don't recommend you rebuilding the whole car for that chassis unless you have done it before. You may take apart to much. It's only 8 main screws.
the slash 4x4 the sway bars are mounted in a different position than a slash 2wd that the diffenent between the twe trucks i no it weird but everything on a 4x4 fit dirrenent every thing dont mount the same way
You put the back on completely wrong you don't need to cut a thing they wouldn't sell you a part you have to modify the structure of your car so much with. The back bar goes on the opposite side of the shock tower you have it on. When you do this btw it makes it actually work too
Josh Palmer maybe if came with any kind of institutions people could install it correctly if you a link that shows how it goes I'm sure others would find it useful.
Kevin Story I agree instructions would be sweet lol I'm working on a video now so people don't cut their towers or anything as yours is the closest I've seen to right
Kevin Story I spent a long time trying to figure it out tho I understand the frustration. If you mount it on the backside instead of front it works great :)
Did a bit of research and looks like the stampede has a little bit longer control arms but as long as the mount holes are ruffly the same I would think it would work fine.
That is not the way. You will snap the mounts on the front end on the first light impact . Promise. Sounded good and I get it but Noo Noo don’t to your self!!
I don’t know man. It’s set up just like yours but lcg chassis and tried them again and light bump to the front end and heard a pop and knew exactly what it was. It’s snapping the push rods. Just trying to keep up with Losi with slash🤝😊
they work great on the 4x4 slash.i was rollin all the time put the sway bar kit on it now its a blast,

Man I would love for you to show me how you did that idk what this guy did but it made me cut mine and now I feel stupids I don’t wanna have to cut it
I don’t wanna have to cut the new one I just got in the mail today
Thanks for the video! I received my sway bar kit, but haven't put them on yet, I was surprised that there wasn't instructions with it!

Short course truck, not stadium truck, rustler is a stadium truck
Check out the low cg chassis for it, much better handling than stock
pistonpoweruk that is what I'm running now.
Do they make much of a difference, are they worth buying?
Rear sway bar links aren’t long enough, rear A arms aren’t fully extended with links connected, also doesn’t come with enough spacer washers
Ur rears r on the back end of the shock. They go in rfrontike the front shocks. Basically. Both sway bar end tips should be facing each other
Wouldn’t that rear sway bar fit a whole lot better mounted on the back side of the shock tower?

I have the RPM from bumper. This bars dont fit on it. What bumper is this ? Original

What does the sway bar do?
Model RC sway bars control body roll (side to side movement) of the car and helps all four tires on the ground. To improve handling.
the slash 4x4 the sway bars are mounted in a different position than a slash 2wd that the diffenent between the twe trucks i no it weird but everything on a 4x4 fit dirrenent every thing dont mount the same way

Josh Palmer feel free to post a link here when you get your video up to help others! Thanks!
just be careful which thickness of bar you use in the back the blue seemed a bit too much to me wasnt getting full swing from the suspension
These work on a 2wd stampede too?
Did a bit of research and looks like the stampede has a little bit longer control arms but as long as the mount holes are ruffly the same I would think it would work fine.
Get the lowered body I take turns at 80mph with no problem
This is eventually what I did as well. I highly recommend it!

Well it's been like that for years and never had an issue...

Have you posted a DIY video of how it's supposed to go?
Please, I'm looking for the correct way.
Hot Racing is garbage. Many of their parts don't fit properly.
