Traxxas Slash 2WD Rolling Backflip

[schmitzgerald11]

What motor and battery are you running?

[thewaltman2009]

@schmitzgerald11 look under the video, its a sidewinder 4600kv combo with a 3s lipo

[thewaltman2009]

@922brendan nice, but mine is a rolling backflip. if you want i can tell you how

[BaldyDaniels]

You think so? I run the whole kit on my pede and I give it them a pretty good beating and they've been super strong, but maybe you bash a little harder than I do. I like how it increases the width and evens out the front and back width for more wheel options and no more roll overs. Now I just gotta find stronger drive axles that'll fit. Are you still gonna try for the standing backflip with your 2wd pede?

[thewaltman2009]

@BaldyDaniels im still going to try but i gotta find time to make my shock mounts, chamber mounts and re-do my shocks to my bashing setup.

[BaldyDaniels]

Are you running the protrac kit for slash on your pede? Cuz I've been hearing that the MIP cvds are too short with the protrac installed on the pede.

[thewaltman2009]

@BaldyDaniels no, i dont like protrac, i have stock arms on it, they are just poor quality

[BaldyDaniels]

Awesome man! I've been trying the same with my vxl pede. I just accomplished the first standing backflips with the pede last night and posted vids and I got the stationary standing backflips under my belt now (using stock 16/90 gearing with the vxl system) but waiting on new heavy duty mip cvds to do the rolling backflips cuz my half shafts turn into twist ties! Lol. Nice work on being the first for the slash 2wd!

[thewaltman2009]

@BaldyDaniels Awww man you beat me to it, ive been trying to do it for a couple of weeks now. I had the same problem with the driveshafts. i also broke the MIP ones also, but my friend 95666 helped me do a dogbone conversion thats nearly bulletproof

[demonsparkx]

E-Tec just kicked in

[TheChaseisbeast]

wtf it just did a backflip. will the vxl system do this with 3s

[thewaltman2009]

@TheChaseisbeast sorry but it wont, i have my sidewinder esc tuned ALOT to get it to do this, and i setup the shocks, chamber and i cut the body some. but it doesnt hurt to try on your setup!

[TheChaseisbeast]

@thewaltman2009 oh ok this is sick

[rocklobster909]

@thewaltman2009 how do u tune the sidewinder esc and motor cause i have the same in my rustler

[thewaltman2009]

@rocklobster909 you would have to buy castle link and download the software.
