      @OvalEdgeRC 6 місяців тому

      For differential oil I always ran really light oil, machinist oil. When I was running carpet more often you want really stiff oil for the right side of the car and less for the left. I would run 80-100wt on the right and 60-80 on the left. Your mileage will vary depending on your track and if it has a banked corners. Make sure you nail the ride height as you want the car as low as legally possible without hitting the carpet during cornering.

    I think the popularity of this Slash Modified will dictate the classes. If you're a track owner and have 20 drivers want to race in the class, you probably won't ignore them. Other classes will faded, just natural evolution. I'm excited to get more drivers in the game with this. More drivers makes it attractive to sponsors too.

The Traxxas rep said they sold three times more than they anticipated. I agree this will certainly render other classes obsolete, I really hope tracks take this into consideration and allow people with Big Blocks or other LCG chassis to update their platform and run with these. Most of the tracks around me are taking the Box Stock only mentality when I feel like they could allow some other subpar parts to allow people more entry into a new class.

  • @cage-rattler
    @cage-rattler 7 місяців тому

    I like your ideas. The BL2 motors have expanded into more mudboss classes and IMO we need to start combining the classes more so we dont have 5 classes with 5 cars in each. With your ruleset and also add the ability to use either lcg or hcg chassis and open up the tires to include All legal tires available to all current classes (so all the tires people already own can still be used). Do we really need a 13.5 class now that we have the BL2? Wasnt the 13.5 class made to be able to run brushless and LCG chassis anyway? With the variations in the rules people can run what they already have and the new traxxas mudboss and allow some much needed upgrades to our older salvas mudbosses too if so desired.

    • @OvalEdgeRC
      @OvalEdgeRC 7 місяців тому

      I'm with you, less classes.. more drivers. We all want competitive racing and not participation trophies. I'm hoping race tracks start to adjust and we see a shift in our current hobby. What's fantastic about this car though... Traxxas has finally recognized the racing scene.

    • @OvalEdgeRC
      @OvalEdgeRC 7 місяців тому

      I agree with you, stock out of the box. However, I think rules still need to be in place to specify the parts allowed on the car. I'm sure there are people with LCG chassises and other spare parts that will want to run the class. So who cares if they want to run the ultra shocks instead of the GTR shocks, who cares if they want to use the classic transmission instead of the magnum. I think just defining some of these things opens the class up to more people, while still providing that "spec" class this car needs to be in. Thanks for watching!

    In my opinion Traxxas should’ve put a late model body on it , short course late model classes are across the whole USA, I own JbodyRC, crate late model bodies are my biggest seller, I’ve sold in 40 states and Canada. Instead of trying to piggy back a “Mudboss “ class they could’ve created their own national class , Traxxas Crate Late Model. Either way this car has to be raced in its own class, it doesn’t fit within the rules of the mudboss classes.

    • @cage-rattler
      @cage-rattler 7 місяців тому

    Well, it's nice to see that you're not acting so pompous as you were the other day as I saw on part of your live stream event. My thoughts and comments to others were was have you never been to real races? They have many different classes for different abilities and and cost. I have quite a few RC cars but none of them are racing and I thought this might be a good way to get into it without having to spend $1,000 and I already have batteries and a charger and I think none of you are looking at it that way that some people have other type of RCs like Bashers and stuff but this is something that for a low cost you can raise and use the battery and charger that you already have. And I thought you owned a shop, you seemed like you were pretty narrow-minded and unwise in your actions and your words.

    Content is great. I am a new racer on dirt oval mudboss. How about exploring ride height changes.

      I have a ride height / shock limiter / shock oil video in the works. I've filmed it twice and just not happy with the results. It's coming soon though. Thanks for the support!
