Traxxas slash - A day in the park and a huge jump

[wildcat4424]

What song is this? Been trying to find it for weeks now

[driftingdonuts]

@wildcat4424 Unfortunately, the original audio was taken down, so I just used one from YouTube Audioswap, which doesn't say the name of the song under the video... so, I really don't know either...

[slash4x4lipo]

2:22 hi pappy!!! is that you that chose the song???

[SNEQX2]

Good work, really enjoyed your vid! Normally I don't like music like that on bashing videos, but at the time I am watching this it's 11pm in Germany, i'm having a nice drink, sitting back... Well done m8, even the music! ;)

[driftingdonuts]

@TheRcworld101 do you know how to read other comments and find out i wasn't driving because you really need to.

[TomKY96]

I have to tuning it too. becose its original motor dies.

[TomKY96]

Is that 2wd and do you change cars electronics?

[driftingdonuts]

@TomKY96 Yes, 2WD, and has a 5700kv brushless system (Castle Sidewinder)

[velineon100]

dude get a venom group intenational lipo battery they come in 20-30cells and it will be much faster than the battey you had in this video i have the same one

[gifts216]

the way you talked to that old man was kinda mean

[lemonhead421]

y r u using paddles when ur not even in the sand

[lordoftraxxas]

Just some advice if you didnt know adding a touch of brake mid air will bring the nose down or a touch of gas will send the nose up.

[driftingdonuts]

@lordoftraxxas Other people have mentioned that, even when I wasn't the one driving, but I think your the only one that wasn't trying to be insulting about it. I know about that, it doesn't seem to work that well on a slash for big jumps, the body is like a big parachute... Anyways, thanks for the comment!

[partyboy8008ies]

@lordoftraxxas do u ride dirtbikes

[FoR3STGuMP911]

any aluminum parts?

[driftingdonuts]

@FoR3STGuMP911 Shock caps. Thats it.

[TheChris1696]

What's the long white thing starting at 0:18 used for?

[driftingdonuts]

@TheChris1696 It's a toboggan run. They fill it with water and it freezes, and the white ridges in it are so the ice doesn't slide out when the toboggan's are sliding down really fast. It's a winter thing... 

[1b1enjamin]

nice slo mo what cam????

[driftingdonuts]

[driftingdonuts]

@jvolcomstone HAHAHA ik its my friend driving....

[jvolcomstone]

1:41 EPIC FAIL

[awksedgreep]

At 0:23 it looks like you've stiffened the rear shocks. Which springs did you use? White non-progressive? I need to firm up mine as well.

[driftingdonuts]

@awksedgreep Stock white progressive springs, probably had thick spacers in it for this jump. Thanks for the comment!

[timbulb]

My wife says that is the gayest song for an RC video.

[driftingdonuts]

@timbulb Thanks?

[alextroch]

nice video taping

[Chanceisthebomb]

why dont u hit the brakes in the air so you drop the front end down

[driftingdonuts]

@Chanceisthebomb It was my friend driving his slash. If he wants the nose up its his problem lol.

[kittenzzzzz]

@driftingdonuts Hey i was the driver in the video. Honestly if you think that jumping that far on this jump is easy you try it. It took forever to get it perfect. It was sheer luck that i had the right amount of wheel speed to get the truck to settle correctly in the air. Probably the most difficult jump i've ever done with my slash or any RC in general.

[RCcarpro147]

What is tht really long thing for and what does it do and y is it ther

[driftingdonuts]

@RCcarpro147 That's a sleeding run

[morganlea361]

Great video!!!

[Icehocey5678]

kinda gay

[VannilaThunder]

nice sand patle

[abdbaseball12]

do you guys know how to level out ur cars

?

[dangalla]

pretty cool video

except for the horrible music

[meaghanbeast]

my t-maxx is a beast

[erwyn76]

pretty cool video, but u seriously gotta get rid of your D.J!!!

[stefan3d5]

how long does it last to?

thank you

[driftingdonuts]

25 minutes is probably the life with that motor/battery combo.

[chrismodiano]

@driftingdonuts did you change the motor? what kind of battery is that? 25 minutes is pretty long, no? im trying to decide whether to go nitro or electric with my first rc truck..

[driftingdonuts]

@chrismodiano Personally, i feel electric is a better beginner power choice. Yes, the motor in that was a Brushless motor, and the battery was a Li-Po (Lithium Polymer) battery. 25 minuets is a good runtime for that combo. Weather you are a basher, or you are going to race, you cant go wrong with a Traxxas Slash. Good luck picking your first ride, and thanks for the comment!

[stefan3d5]

what is the case called for the sidewinder to hold it down?

how fast does it go with that battery with stock tires?

[driftingdonuts]

Probably 35-40 mph.

[TheRunescapeskillz]

why did he have paddles in the dirt?

if he had knobbies(stock tires) it would have been faster.

[groupm7]

y do you have a losi controler on a traxxas truck

[bigoggy2007]

great save at 2:44

[elbutchos]

Great slow motion action. Love it.

Just hit the brakes if the cars nose goes up in the air.

[samtrop1]

Is that brushed or brushless?

[driftingdonuts]

Please read the info.

[OverTheBarsClub]

what did you use for a camera? quality is great even in slowmo 5/5

[driftingdonuts]

Please read the info.

[airsoftmaster1999]

i have 2 with huge tires i have one and my twin has 1

[YLayArm]

Great video! These things are amazing!

[traxxasslash26]

hey, do you have steel driveshafts? what company are they? great vid

[driftingdonuts]

No, he used regular stock traxxas driveshafts. Thanks for the comment!

[traxxasslash26]

thanks! ahh i dont understand why it didnt get killed.. i have 2s with 3500 VXL motor and drove on dirt. slipper was at around 180-360 from tight.. first time i drove, the yokes and shafts snapped :(

[Cjayjonez]

when u go off those big sled jums hot the brake in the air.

[timmytime1793]

how do you like that pack

im looking at getting the new 5000mah 42c 2s promatch battery

[hondatmx]

how about in nimh battery is it good?

[driftingdonuts]

Brushless systems are very hard on nihm batteries.  They get so hot their life span is reduced. Go lipo, way better.

[hondatmx]

does pro match lipo good? im thinking getting one if its good.

[driftingdonuts]

The promatch is great. plenty of punch, and great runtime. I reccommend you get one.

[69ufcfighter]

nice on dana ists holden Ps:good music LOL!

[orion544]

YEAH!, DO THAT WITH A SC10!

[driftingdonuts]

Yes, Iverson park in Stevens Point, WI. Yea we used to do that with snowmobiles, I'm glad we didn't tumble like the slash did! LOL. Who are you LouisCypher57? Driftingdonuts is my son Dana.

[LouisCypher57]

Hey Larry!  Good Shots! Is that the hi speed camera that catches that stuff so good? Is this Iverson Park? I remember doing this with you on sleds jumping a road near Houghton, MI. Remember? Cool driving and stunts!

[kittenzzzzz]

I actually just touched the brakes in the air. Speed wasnt the issue, flying it was. I am his "buddy" by the way, the driver of the slash

[jcims]

The abuse those things take is even more impressive in slow mo.

Btw, tell your bud to let off the throttle mid air, will help keep the nose down. :P

[kittenzzzzz]
