Traxxas Slash - Brushless/Lipo

[TALALASman1]

i had a nimh with my brushless but it didnt last long, a 5000mah lipo is way better

[Vladle2099]

just got one of this, all stock brush and nimh. it's still fun and i do manage to flip it on turns, sometimes it wont flip all the way back and stay on its back like a turtle.

thinking of upgrading to brushless.

[lemonhead421]

2:50-3:01 is really sick ive flipped my traxxas so many times i sometimes flip it on purpose

[ochad67]

dude u guy dont know sht . you have to run the RPM jato front a-arms with proline shock. THATS THE SETUP use it love it works good THE BEST no fucing around. my car with the proline shocks and rpm front jato arms. it will handle better then any stock truck. i also have the mamba pro speed controler STC front bulkhead its a must rpm front shock tower.............. Heres a tip make the front strong. have a bashing a day...............

[rannylikesfarts]

wta song is that

[sk8er75Boi]

Hey Guys!! Im selling my 6th month old traxxas slash!! It has Velineon brushless system! Has some aluminum A-arms and a steering column(red)!!! It comes with two bodys 2 4200 miliamp batteries= super fast. I love this car but i need some money very badly!

[2much0wnag3]

1:16 are you using weights?

[makeitrainlf]

i don't think he was using weights just going so fast and hitting the front probably made it flip like that,

[RClimits]

yeah its doesn't look like weights

[killbucket1]

I would make a ladder or stilt part of my RC gear. these things get out of eye-shot instantly!

[Fighter923]

@killbucket1 i didnt get wat u said

[oldbluediesel1]

what are u talking about

[aceskul]

how much is brushless

and how much is vxl??

plz reply!!

[oldbluediesel1]

vxl 200.00

[staticxmako]

169 htusa

[staticxmako]

LOOK IT UP, if you dont know how to look up the price of this than most likely you wont know how to install it

[cackerrrc]

I've seen it on rc planet for $170 comes ESC and motor

[hankzetterberg1]

Nice vid if u agree feel free to hit the thumbs up sign to the right.

[johnwo1]

Is vxl and xl-5 the same which ones better and faster and is the slash better than the rustler cause i want to buy one and don't know if xl-5 is better than vxl or rustlers better than slash plz help me chose.

[schultzee101]

VXL would be the Venlineon Brushless system

Xl-5 would be the Brushed system 27turn?..

anyways.. (VXL)Brushless is faster, way faster than a (xl-5)brushed motor, id go VXL... actually i have..

rustlers way better than the slash do to its low CG and extended wheel to wheel with,

.... Slash is just all show no go, do to its high CG the stability is horrible, cant make a sharp turn with out ending up on the roof,

both durable as a mofo,

[sabatini210]

Brushed motors suck. As for slash vs rustler, I have both, and lets just say that the rustler is collecting dust. You can lower the COG with one of the many chassis available, and with alittle bit of tuning, you can get rid of most of the turning over problem.

[CorvetteRacingFan]

Yeah all I did was change the shock oil and add a few preload spacers and mine is a lot harder to roll now.

[sabatini210]

The VXL system is a much faster, and better made system. Put that in a traxxas slash with a 3s lipo and you will be going 60+. Put the VXL in a rustler/bandit with the 3s lipo and you will be going 70+.

The XL5's top speed in the slash is 30, and in the bandit/rustler is 35.

[mooveymon]

no traxxas says the wrong tops like the jato says 65mph but stock speed runs have showed 72 and i have a slash i ran it side by side a real car and with stock gearing and a 8 cell nimh it went 38 mph

[oldbluediesel1]

vxl brushless 75 mph

[fordstheway95]

ok should i get a mamba max or vxl...i heard mambas get hotter...but are faster,any opinions??really need help

[WhatAreWeDoingForFun]

mamba, they get hot cuz you need to change pinion and spur gear, thats all, not that hard but them mamba max blows away vxl

[fordstheway95]

thanks a ton!

[sabatini210]

Mambas get hotter, but they are faster. The VXL has much more torque though. Unless your racing on concrete, just go with the VXL.

[hikeith912]

go vxl

[pulsarmad]

I got a Question How long does it last with this setup (run time)

[jato123nmr]

i have 1 just like it sidewinder everything it lasts 7 to15 min

[fallbrookchris]

man those look good, the desert/stadium truck look really comes across, especially when jumping

Once again the Revo or in this case Revo like suspension/chassis proves itself as a winner again

[fordstheway95]

i got a question...i want a slash and will get one but i want it to go fast and dont want to spend $200 for a brushless,what do i do

[fallbrookchris]

you can upgrade the motor to a brushed modified motor and/or get higher voltage batteries but in the end you will be better off going brushless, brushless motors more or less are maintenance free and last a long time, sure there is a higher up front cost but it will pay for itself down the road, Traxxas has its own brushless speed control package for under $200 that is a good deal and has been proven to work very well, get your Slash and upgrade as you go especially if this is your 1st RC

[mundai]

The traxxas velineon brushless setup is perfect. To me, one of the best qualities about it, is that it doesn't get too hot.

Also, you can go online and get a Slash VXL for about 250, and you wont have to worry about the maintenance for the motor from the get go.

What I did with my Slash was upgrade from the Titan (which isn't too great in my opinion) to a Trinity Komodo 19 turn modified for about 40 bucks, and it is very torquey and quick

[Feverforflavour]

song?

is cool fever_for_flavour

[dessertjeff]

I put ProLine "Switch" tires on beadlock wheels and noticed quite an improvement in handling. The red beadlock rims make it look boss and mean. Try it you'll like it. Enjoyed your video thanks....

[russ2744]

does anyone know if the stampede wheels and tires are a direct fit on the slash i have a slash with velineon brushless system need more traction

[JustinHuitema]

i got a stampede and put the stock weels n' tires on my brushless slash. or i should say tried to put them on :)

when i put my body on the tires barely fit and rubbed a crap load and made my slash slow.

Whatever u do DO NOT PUT STAMPEDE TIRES/ WHEELS ON A SLASH

U HEAR THAT YOUTUBE!!!!

[russ2744]

put stampede wheels and tires on my slash for street its ok tried it at the track and it sucks i did mod the body so they do not scrub as bad does wheelies on the street :)

[JustinHuitema]

oh, i didnt cut or mod the body.

I converted my slash to a buggy , so i can put a lot of dif. tires on it now.

It looks and drives better now.

gonna make a vid. soon.

[russ2744]

cool... would like to see that vid

[habibullah17]

which one should i go with mamba max 7700 or velienon 3500? i gota 8.4v 4200mah

[rhodeislandrasta]

Ok guys take it easy on me. I'm a nitro man. I just got a slash today, want to know the fastest top speed brushless motor/ batt combo to buy for my new slash. prices would be good to. Thanks in advance youtubers.

[cars05man1]

mamba max 7700Kv motor Combo

[Oneiva]

Whats this song called? Great vid BTW

[bulldogs195]

can some1 tell me what brushless is and how to install it???

[schultzee101]

a brushless motor is a less resistant motor, a "Brushed" motor has Drag were a "Brushless" motor has almost zero drag/ resistance.

some good quality brands of Brushless motors< Team Novak, Castle Creations Mamba Max, Traxxas Velineon,

and as for instalation, just read youre owners manual about your stock Motor installation, Brushless motor installation is no different than a stock install,,

[traxxas90210]

what is the gearing on them?

[skellyo]

18:86

[Fasttc4]

does your motor get hot

[trxslashdriver]

@traxxas90210 make sure you use a very small pinion or a very big spur cuz i burnt out a esc that way

[bigmodean]

Using a 7 cell 4600nimh battery these trucks fly,bone stock(30 mph)!Bought 2 for my sons recently,I think they beat my emaxx 16.8v running two 7 cell 4200 nimh.Plus they are waterproof,another great product Traxxas,thank you!Now I really cant wait for the snow to melt here in Michigan!.

[whiteboy1298]

how fast does it goes when brushless

[timmytime1793]

id say with that setup about 55

depends on the gears

[skellyo]

Depends on the brushless system and batteries. In this video, it's set up to run about 33-35mph on 2S Lipo.

[450hp202turbo]

how big is your wallet ? the bigger the faster you will go!

[rhodeislandrasta]

I have a George Castanza wallet. What do you recommend, I want to go BIG and FAST.

[450hp202turbo]

well then go Mamba Max with maxamps lipo 3s

[rhodeislandrasta]

thanks for the speedy reply and info

[450hp202turbo]

1/10 Mamba Max brushless ESC/7700kV Combo

then get a maxamps 11.1 volt 6800mah lipo.this set up will make the slash

fly .the air gets under the body at about 80kph and thay flip over,, :(

[traxxas90210]

well do you know were the best place is to get some slash aluminum parts?

i cant find any place with flm aluminum parts for the slash.. and were could i get some really good shocks and springs for the slash to make it more durable for jumping. and can i just buy stampede tires and put them on or what do i need to get and where can i get it to make them fit. becaus eio want big tires and good shocks. great appreciation if you can help me out. thanx

[cycle2deth]

you dont need alum. for a slash, but im sure companies are working on alum. parts.

[michaelwaltrip55]

NO that is not true traxxas rocks!!!anything they make is in-breakible!!!

[FKAguy]

dude could u tell me the website for the slash?

[450hp202turbo]

ebay is were you find them . i just picked one up with the vxl brushless as a packaged deal $365us or a stock one $199.00us+post

[LaduTheFadu]

I HAVE ONE.

[thrasher7811]

Traxxas is great for comp racing. The Revo has won plenty of titles and the Jato is up there too. It comes down to this, some people are die hard Losi fans, others live for Associated, and people like me love Traxxas. Everyone has their own flavor.

[losimaster117]

I like them all but i have losi cars though...

[eatricetransam99]

To a point yes, but Traxxas vehicles are so different from other companies(thats a good thing, so they are not cookie cutters). I Like my Associated Cars and trucks, but I would love to own a Revo, Slash and just about everything they got! Traxxas is an awesome company.  But Associated has them beat on 1/10th scale stadium trucks and buggies.

[bmxkid02]

i was wondering if u could give me a link to those batteries? thanks

[iZahik]

maxampsdotcom

[champ0497]

no that he saw these these at the local track hes getting my friend and his sis one im getting one to thanks

[champ0497]

my friends dad said traxxas suck hes been racing for 18 years is that true

[LynetteCloudburst]

mabe because it comes rtr. ur dads freinds like kits because its better for pros. pros like kits

[Kstorm88]

go to a hobby shop, and look at a traxxas compared to a losi or team associated... there is no comparison... but now ae and losi make more "consumer" products too. so the differences are getting ever more subtle... but no comparison to a factory team associated though.

[QUESTOKEN]

Like the video alot , im sure alot of peoples will buy the slash because of this video. Look like alot of fun to drive and watch.

Thanks for the video , will order me one next week.

Is the VXL system worth it?

[hunterx2568]

so...desert truck or slash?

[skellyo]

I'm quite happy with my pair of Slashes. I bought them for the more realistic look and handling. The Losi Desert Truck, IMO, is nothing more than a Losi XXX-T with different tires, wheels and body.

[Squatabing]

@skellyo i agree with skellyo... and losi's electronics aren't waterproof... that should be a hands down decision

[MNSTR553]

can u  just get the lipo, and run it

[wirelesscps]

yup

[RCXTV]

it has to only be a 2s one though

[MNSTR553]

2s?

[RicoMan1992]

are these trucks 2wd?

[skellyo]

Yes, they are 2wd.

[schutterbug]

get stupified!!!, i got the loso desert truck i love it

[CommanderB9488]

Just bought my Slash today and some 8.4v 5000NIMH packs. Gonna bash it stock then later go brushless.

[rcwor1d]

thx man appreciate it

[rcwor1d]

how much does a slash cost plz?

[skellyo]

About $200 stock as a ready to run, but I've added another $140 to mine for the brushless system in it.

[rcwor1d]

can you tell me how much it costed when you bought it like stock how much please?

[organizedchaos427]

What ESC are you using?

[skellyo]

Castle Creations Sidewinder

[metallicaman153]

disterbed rules the song is stupidfy

[RadioControlYourLife]

Hi everyone,

Traxxas is planning on selling a Nitro Slash if the demand is high enough.

So, if your a nitro fan... e-mail Traxxas and tell them that your wanting one made!

If the Nitro Slash goes on production:

- A new nitro class will be formed!

- 2 best-sellers for 2008 will both be Slash's.

[CSavage321]

its called the traxxas"Slayer" and is avalible on july 31 2008

[95666]

nice, *****

[happylad]

Nice vid fella - excellent!

Might treat myself to one of the new Traxxas cars when they arrive over here.

[kdgj3299]

nice how fast did it go???

[skellyo]

It's geared for about 33mph.

[fathead431]

did u break anything?

[skellyo]

No breakage at all.

[driftingdonuts]

WOW! I'm trading a hobby store guy a slash for my wii. im gonna sell the stock stuff and get a sidewinder 4600 (same as the video) and a 3s lipo (probably). lol. nice video, make more! :P

[deeph46]

Is receiver 4ch included in the kit? I see on Traxxas...or it's just a picture

[skellyo]

Yes, the Traxxas 4ch micro receiver is included with the Slash.

[Rustyfirehawk]

how much was your brushless system

[skellyo]

$133 from Tower Hobbies (minus whatever ad code was available to use at the time)

[jarbear001]

does the motor and esc get hot with the mamba and 2 cell lipo

[blyzzard21]

That does look like the real one, Disturbed is a nice touch.

[hardcoregridiron]

Dang, it looks like the real thing. Sweet vid!

[RicSupra]

Awesome vid!

Really want a Slash!

[TractorKid7]

sweet slash i want one!

[chronoblip]

Don't be too quick to mod your slash if you want to race at a track. Most slash classes that have been starting are stock equipment only, because otherwise it's a race of pocketbooks and not skill.

Cool vid though. It is very exciting to see them going over terrain, they look so much like the full scale ones ^_^

[mtbshawn]

sick video!!!, cant wait to get mine,vxl system and 3s lipo packs waiting for it!!!

[Porsche917LH]

That would be slash.

[Porsche917LH]

Very nice slah!
