For anyone reading this, just as an FYI. The audio system has an on-off button on the actual control box. You do not need to unplug it. Furthermore, it has volume up and down buttons on the box as well so you can adjust the volume to your liking. Lastly, the shocks that they were using are not stock. They appear to be blue anodized aluminum shocks from some aftermarket company.
sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Bowie Samir I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I remember getting my first Slash 2wd, the original brushed version with the super high up chassis. That was my first hobby grade RC and I’m still driving it to this day. Although I’m not sure it can still be called the same car seeing as how almost every single part has either been replaced or upgraded.
Thanks for making this - I'm going to get a slash this weekend after 30 years (OMG) away from RC cars!!!! It will be the slow one. That doesn't wheelie.... for a short time.
Ha ha, same here. Bought a Slash after 25 years. Last one I had was a gold associated rc-10. I bought the "slow" one too...plenty fast for your average driver.
U will love it mate they take a flogging and ask for more go Traxxsas not like old RC stuff that breakes every time U touch it I've really bashed mine I can't believe it is one peice still lol
The Slash is awesome!! I've just mounted the 4pole vxl system on it and i must say that even in training mode it's awesome! On expert mode it's ridicolous fast! I love how easy the maintenance goes, very well constructed and thought through. I should have bought this truck years ago.. compared to any other cars i have.. this is an utter good RC!
I ordered this truck and it will be in my hot little hands in two days. Thanks for the video I sooo much appreciated see it take all you threw at it. It is my first real rc truck, so lucking forward to it.
& to think the nitros rated at 50 mph the electric vxl rated over 60 plus mph lol Insane!! Like you I have a Nitro T-Max & cant hardly control the power, couldnt imagine 60 plus..
Vxl is traxxas’ abbreviation for their velineon 3s brushless system. Ps velineon is just the name and it’s also manufactured by castle and is made to go straight to traxxas then traxxas uses it. Great vid!
I've got a slash 4x4, 2wd and a rustler, ALL VXL and they have all broke several times. Be prepared to upgrade plastic parts with aluminum parts. Still a blast!
JFC, barely 3 minutes in and I’m ded laughing, the fly over was hilarious 🤣 . You got my subscribe after the “he’s got a jump set up, omg I said keep it in one piece!!!! Alright do it again…” lmao
No the problem is the air getting under the body. I have a 2wd that I put a castle esc and motor in. It would almost try to take off like theirs too. After doing some digging on reddit everyone recommended taking a dremmel and making a ton of holes on the back side of the body. Fixed the problem completely. I even had the low cg chassis on it and it was doing that.
I wish I had bought the VXL 2WD instead of the XL5 2WD. But at the time I didn't think I'd enjoy the hobby as much as I am. I upgraded the motor and ESC to a cheap Gool RC 3900 kv system which isn't anywhere near as powerful as the Velenion system, but still has good top speed and allot more punch then the Titan 12 turn. But if anyones deciding on buying the XL5 or VXL Traxxas anything just get the VXL. You get adjustable tie rods, full ball bearings and a better radio system. This is all for about $130 more then a XL5 equivalent. The cost of upgrading an XL5 to VXL Spec just isn't worth it in the long run in my opinion. You get such a great deal and actually end up saving hundreds by purchasing the VXL model.
I love you guys, I love these vids. I think it would be cool to see some specialist cars. We always hear “this is a great all-rounder” but what about “this is for racing and for racing only?” I have a neeeed for speeeeed!!!
70/30 throttle neutral helps me controls wheelies a ton but in most of my vehicles I then need the wireless module to dial down the braking with only 30% movement to use.
I have an all carbon fiber, custom 2wd slash drag car running on 6s with no stability control lol. Its a handful, and I keep destroying transmissions. But its the most fun vehicle I have for sure. Its actually really stable the way I have it set up.
Air is getting trapped under the body. Make a few holes using a dremmel in the body towards the back. This will allow the air to escape and help cool the esc a little bit too. I'm sure there are a lot of guys who've done this to their stadium truck bodies on UA-cam and can explain it better.
I think I'll stick with my plain ol' brushed Slash, on the stock 550 Titan motor and NiMH battery. Wheelie-popping power is fun and all, but it's a bit much for me. Fun stuff though! Love the channel!
I have the Raptor slash and the stock titan broke so I put the vxl in it. I don’t have the tsm system and it’s not that out of control. It’s insanely fast though.
u prolly already know now but there is volume adjustment w the oba... try throwing a hotracing locker in the rear will pull soo much harder w the vxl.. i personally have an xmaxx but also a monster energy edition slash 2wd with oba so im going with all green everything.. i think the castle creations mamba setup would be perfect and colormatch as well... although its prolly gunna be a darker green..
Did you say “you almost went downtown north canton”? You guys in Ohio?! I’m from Orrville if so that’s pretty cool. Just picked up a used 2wd vxl today and like a true gung-ho’er threw the 3s in immediately instead of the 2s and it’s just stupid fast. My road doesn’t have a bunch of traction and it was leaving burnout lines in the road. Sidewalk was just an instant flip to the roof.
What if you guys put a wing on the front to give it some downforce to keep it from doing wheelies? I bet you could get full speed out of the slash then.
CB Glass III It’s considered a monster truck but it’s much more like a truggy. Only thing I’ve heard about the vxl is that it’s a bit unstable. My buddy has the brushed version and that’s pretty fun, but I’m not sure how different the brushless version is aside from having more power.
Drill holes in the body... the body catches the air and ask like a parachute If you drill the holes in the body it’ll let the air go through and you should be able to get your top speed much easier
Be really careful of the storm drains guys. I got myself a nitro truck about 15 years ago and my first day I accidentally went in the storm drain and was never able to get it back. Sad times.
Could anyone help me out? I had my slash it is a 1/16 model and I got it about 2 years ago and today I was drifting around in my house and my steering stopped. I look at my car and it was smoking where the steering system is. It stopped steering completely and smells burnt. Could you tell me what I need to do to fix it or what’s wrong. Thanks. It would really help
great video. You should get a fusion body! I've never been a fan of the OBA... it wastes battery and is a wee bit fake for me. it makes it seem like more of a toy lol. imo 😁😀
I know this is a grave yard post, but the OBA doesn't use nearly any battery power especially with lipo. Even NIMH is fine, dont go spreading false info just because you assume
I don't have a Slash, nor any 2wd. I do have a modified Stampede 4wd, and a modified E Maxx 4wd. Because of yall, I would love to put an FPV on one or the other.

Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Joel Eugene you are welcome xD
I love my slash. My nieghbors hate my backyard course. Dusty, dirty, a whole lotta fun.
No les sobra una batería que me regalen 😒yo tengo una traxxas slach 4×2 gracias

I was just driving using one of my friends and it absolutely rips! It has a great value.
"I SAID KEEP IT IN ONE PIECE! Do it again"
Your laughing and smiles show how much fun it is to drive RC cars.
“I got no problem finding the wheelie zone” 😂🤣😂
the traxxas sound kits have a volume control setting.
Wonder how much batt life it sucks up on a 7.4v max capacity lipo
@@FenrirFire18 nearly none. I used to race mine and the battery never got close to the lipo cutoff
Just wanted to say I love the new channel I got planes and cars glad you guys finally combined both of my passions
Thanks for making this - I'm going to get a slash this weekend after 30 years (OMG) away from RC cars!!!! It will be the slow one. That doesn't wheelie.... for a short time.
Did you end up getting one
Ha ha, same here. Bought a Slash after 25 years. Last one I had was a gold associated rc-10. I bought the "slow" one too...plenty fast for your average driver.

Never driven a VXL but have the nitro 2WD Slash. Almost undriveable. But no need for the OBA :-)
& to think the nitros rated at 50 mph the electric vxl rated over 60 plus mph lol Insane!! Like you I have a Nitro T-Max & cant hardly control the power, couldnt imagine 60 plus..
The vxl slash is literally uncontrollable lol
I have nitro 2wd slash its pretty easy to control it does have tsm tho
I am so glad you made this channel. Thank you for all the awesome info and demos for us on 4 wheels.
Vxl is traxxas’ abbreviation for their velineon 3s brushless system. Ps velineon is just the name and it’s also manufactured by castle and is made to go straight to traxxas then traxxas uses it. Great vid!

Also, you can control the tilt by holding the brake to tilt forward, or hold the throttle to tilt back.
JFC, barely 3 minutes in and I’m ded laughing, the fly over was hilarious 🤣 . You got my subscribe after the “he’s got a jump set up, omg I said keep it in one piece!!!! Alright do it again…” lmao
Dude, this video is chock full of awesome one liners lol
Thats what I love about my Slash 4x4. You can smash the throttle and it just takes off, no flipping over lol
A 4x4 whielies ands flips as much as a 2wd
@@dnh3005 depends on your diff setup
Robert Grubb yeah but dont say a 2wd cant do it

Isn't it funny how you regret buying it over the other, yet have sunk lots of $ into because you love it anyways?
🎮😎👍 🚗💥
@@FenrirFire18 $45 isn't allot of money.
I don't what R/C item you are playing with... I could watch you all until the end of time. Entertainment gold!
Turned my 2wd slash into a brushless vlx3s with tsm and my racing skills sucked and now i absolutely love the thing
Dude that is so cool with the speakers! I’m getting the traxxas slash 2wd VXL for Christmas but I don’t think it has the speakers
This is a very different breed of flute test you guys talked about making another channel with rc cars and you guys did it keep it up
I love you guys, I love these vids. I think it would be cool to see some specialist cars. We always hear “this is a great all-rounder” but what about “this is for racing and for racing only?”
I have a neeeed for speeeeed!!!
OrangeRC, maybe you need 6S power?
Vxl (velineon extreme brushless power system) is the brushless combo that comes with the truck
70/30 throttle neutral helps me controls wheelies a ton but in most of my vehicles I then need the wireless module to dial down the braking with only 30% movement to use.

Arma gang we know the slash is old news. BLX Arma Senton Is the new king, Dominates.
You guys are Amazing!!
Really liking this channel! would love to see a review(s) on some radios.
I just got the slash vxl 2 wheel dfive is really fun im impressed
great platform. I’m considering converting mine to a Porsche 911 rally car 😎
I got a xmaxx yesterday waw I can't believe it what a monster makes my slash look tiny slash will be sitting
VXL has Brushless motor and esc, also it has TSM.
That was awesome is that sound system available would love to get one let me know
I'm here for the free donuts. 11:22
get a wheelie bar for it to stop doing back flips..
Grab a proline Evo SC body for that, the sloped front hood helps keep it glued to the ground at full speed, and less parachuting
That thing is crazy fast lol they're damn good trucks 💪
Yeah the Rustler or Stampede is what I prefer but Hell Yeah those things are great.
Be nice if point the camara at the truck and not your mug?
This was one of the videos that made me buy a slash
I think I'll stick with my plain ol' brushed Slash, on the stock 550 Titan motor and NiMH battery. Wheelie-popping power is fun and all, but it's a bit much for me. Fun stuff though! Love the channel!
needs more TRAINS only problem is the stock motors burn up so often that it’s worth going brushless vs buying stock motors over and over
I have the Raptor slash and the stock titan broke so I put the vxl in it. I don’t have the tsm system and it’s not that out of control. It’s insanely fast though.
So does it just plug into the fan connector on the esc?
u prolly already know now but there is volume adjustment w the oba... try throwing a hotracing locker in the rear will pull soo much harder w the vxl.. i personally have an xmaxx but also a monster energy edition slash 2wd with oba so im going with all green everything.. i think the castle creations mamba setup would be perfect and colormatch as well... although its prolly gunna be a darker green..
You can set the volume of the O.B.A. (audio). It seems you are not so familiar with car r.c. too. But it's all about having fun.
When he explained OBA I was sold.
I bought a slash 4x4 vxl and I’m just waiting patiently for it
What shocks are you using? I have a slash the same but brushed I'm looking to go brushless but I don't want the car to be out of control got any tips?
Did you say “you almost went downtown north canton”? You guys in Ohio?! I’m from Orrville if so that’s pretty cool.
Just picked up a used 2wd vxl today and like a true gung-ho’er threw the 3s in immediately instead of the 2s and it’s just stupid fast. My road doesn’t have a bunch of traction and it was leaving burnout lines in the road. Sidewalk was just an instant flip to the roof.
nice video this oba audio systeme sound very great i need to try one
One thing you guys should do is the Open Rc f1 car project. I think you guys would enjoy it a lot!
I don’t just want one now, I need one.😍
So would a traxxas slash 2wd be good for 25 bucks?
Yes very good even if just a rolling chassis
How much would they cost in australia and love all your videos
What do you think about the 2wd and the 4wd ? Witch is better for a full throttle on road without flipping? Thanks for the vidéo guys !
What gearing were you running in this video?
Nice what are you guys running in that thing 🤔🤔
You got the vxl/brushless verson
9:26 I have one with s and a late model body hard as hell to get wide open got 53mph on my street
what happened to the paint at that wily
What suspension are you running on it? I need new shocks for my 3s slash 2wd
the rustler on 3s is even harder to get to top speed
insane. I love the fact that at 40MPH it still does wheelies when you give it a stab.
what gearing?
I have that same slash but mine has a brushed motor my sound has volume and can I run this on three s power
can you turn the sound off?
What if you guys put a wing on the front to give it some downforce to keep it from doing wheelies? I bet you could get full speed out of the slash then.
When are you going to build the off road track and rock track?
My three Traxxas RC car suggestion. Slash 4wd VXL, 4 tec 2.0 (Ford GT and VXL) and Xmaxx 8s.
I got a slash 2wd comming watching this video makes me want mine now so I can run it # first traxxas
Yep! I have the same thing with the 3cell
You guys CRACK ME UP!!! Keep it coming! Pure entertainment
Have y'all seen the wheelie bars Traxxas sells?
“I said keep it in one piece... Alright do it again.”
Thinking about picking up a Traxxas E-Revo VXL 1/16 r/c... truggy? Can anyone share their thoughts?
CB Glass III It’s considered a monster truck but it’s much more like a truggy. Only thing I’ve heard about the vxl is that it’s a bit unstable. My buddy has the brushed version and that’s pretty fun, but I’m not sure how different the brushless version is aside from having more power.
CB Glass III It’s a monster truck not a truggy
Is this stock gears or race gears?
Is this straight out the box speed ?
You see me rolling and they hate it
Is a 5800 mah battery cell good for a slash vxl 2wd?
Wow, guys! What a beast! 😮
But that gave me an idea... What about an rc car with iNav? 🤔
Drill holes in the body... the body catches the air and ask like a parachute If you drill the holes in the body it’ll let the air go through and you should be able to get your top speed much easier
Is the bus coming back to flitefest?
I ordered one yesterday, the all black one, i had to pay 360euro for it here in sweden, thats around 400$ (i think) - greets Levi
People are saying that it only goes like 22 mph on 2s lipo with the stock gearing. I was wondering if this was true or not
It’s more like 30
Super cool loves the vid why werent you guys at RCS fest
Is this fresh out the box or modified?
Have you guys done a video on the Traxxas X-Maxx yet ? If not you should. If you think the Slash is fast the X-Maxx is twice as fast ! 70 plus mph !!
Whitch remote is this
hi， whats ur gearing set up？

Where are you guys from? Great vids!!
Try putting the oba in the proline 4x4 mt
Nice, you should look at the ARRMA 8th scale lineup!
Jake Daniels your right i own 3 arrma's and have to say there are hell of fun to bash and at germany there are the number 1 basher brand 👍👍🤘
