Traxxas 1/16 Slash Pt. 1 Unboxing and first run with stock battery

Testing out the Traxxas 1/16 slash brushed edition, using the included NIMH battery, running completly stock, to show the performance you can expect out of the box.

[@midshiftmoto]

I’m just more amazed by the box opening

[@937cj]

I prefer this box opening method over any other 👌🏼

[@tacovr7186]

I would like to buy one but unfortunately I don’t have a Weedwhacker to open it 😢😢😢

[@MightyistheRCGamer]

Next time unbox it with a Chainsaw

[@Mikebuildss]

If I miss ill loose a finger

[@trollpatrol1163]

Burn it

[@MightyistheRCGamer]

@@trollpatrol1163 Now your talking Bro

[@johnnybgood774]

Naw use a porta band

[@carlosjuarez7449]

Use a Sawzall.

I just bought this same exact one but seems to be steering to the left I don’t know if yours did the same and battery life didn’t last 10-15 min

[@Mikebuildss]

@@Salinas_Cal831 just may need the steering trim adjusted a bit, and yea stock battery is kinda weak, a 2 cell lipo wakes it up way more and gives better runtime

[@theheatmagazine]

nice video can't wait to see the changes you do

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

One the best 1/16 out there good choice. Cool unboxing. I subbed

[@sergioh2015]

E-revo is also nice for that taller grass kind of terrain other than that both ate killer, especially slapping the brushless in there

[@awesomeness3841]

I subbed too!

[@Mikebuildss]

Thank you for your support! I agree it's an awesome truck to mod and drive

[@johnnybgood774]

I just ordered one I wanted brushless but the truck looks cool as hell so I opted to buy the upgrade real soon

[@FenrirFire18]

Dude...this might be my next ride, cuz the 2wd Slash VXL is my fav!
Can't decide between the 4Tec AWD w/ Toyota body,
the Traxxas Rally 4wd (preferably w/ the Ken Block body),
a Kyosho WRC 2003 Subaru STI RTR,
or a VXL Buggy.
😂

[@Mikebuildss]

This car is a handful, those are all good choices, also the rustler 4x4 is good aswell, check out my other channel Mike rc

[@arturos.l.2248]

I highly recommend shortening the antenna to fit under the body. This car will roll all day every day

[@FenrirFire18]

When I first saw this at the hobby store, that's the 1st thing I thought! No biggie, thia car is worth the effort all day, imo

[@BlueDroneBlues]

I ended up soldering a slitter attachment so I can run both batteries at the same time. Lasts twice as long and it may weight a little more, but it's more balanced as well. Cool when you get double the playtime with it.
I really need to play with my RC's more! I got into drones and spend more time getting good flying in Whackro mode I mean Manual Mode it is so much fun!

[@Mikebuildss]

Haha nice yea I need to get out more aswell! Having tons of hobbies eats up time and money

[@joeyhorvat7022]

So I’ve had one of these for years and for whatever reason I can’t maintain connection beyond 15 yards any clue what I should do?

[@Mikebuildss]

Check receiver antenna, make sure transmitter batteries are fresh, if still noting maybe try a new radio system

[@mav_4338]

I got one the other day, it was used they said if I could fix it I can have it, so I fixed it but when I run it it’s not proportional throttle it’s either full throttle or no throttle in both reverse and four ward, do you know how to fix that

[@Mikebuildss]

Id try a new speed controller that runs the motor

[@reggiemoore21]

Oooo whats that turbo going into?

[@Mikebuildss]

I installed it on my ford ranger! Check out my other videos on it

[@awesomeness3841]

Can you do a speed test with the stock battery?

[@Mikebuildss]

Absolutely! I will put together a video with the stock video and a 3 cell lipo

[@shrek4287]

Where did you buy it at?

[@Mikebuildss]

Local hobby shop but you can get them on amazon.
