- In this video I go over the new Traxxas Slash Mudboss, talk about community response and propose some rules for this class going forward.
Proposed Rules:

Traxxas Mudboss Slash

The new traxxas modified is a great change step forward.
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.
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.
Thanks for the info excellent content keep it up!!!💯
Thanks! Will do!
Traxxas gives RC cars a bad name.
Sorry you feel that way, I enjoy their products. There is also alot of other amazing brands though. Love my Customworks Sprint
People like you give rc a bad name,traxxas is the base of a lot of oval cars so just don’t run traxxas ,and have a blessed day
Out of the box….perhaps servo change only
Not tough man
We ruin these with too many allowances…OEM changes happen and we got a ton of years with version 1.
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!
@@OvalEdgeRC slippery slope man….this is how our slash class got absolutely ruined. Before you knew it the perceived thought of “necessary upgrades” caused people to walk away. Better ESCs, motors, etc…box stock man…this is the way (lol)
there is a weight difference between the mud boss and the slash with lcg so if you want box stock then say so in rules the weight difference is close to 3/4 lb salvas style is lighter even if you use the very heavy edm traxxas body
there is really no way to fix this, on one side people are saying salvas rules are in stone on the other the new mudboss is a evolved mudboss, thay can be ran together if people would quit all the bickering, we have already ran them with salvis mudboss, the new car has a clear advantages, to fix this both cars need to be eqal that means that salvis rules need changed if there going to be run in the same class, but then agin no one is wanting new classes, very simple, run the cars as if all parts from either car are speck, its not hard to figer out, in my opinion salvas rules do not match up with the new cars and the new cars do not match up with salvas rules, so make all rules and parts speck, then the race has the last say not traxxas or salvas
Thanks for watching!
waiting on salvas reply on rule change for the mudboss to equale the new mudboss
I don’t think Salvas will respond to the new car. If you follow Eric on Facebook you can see his position on the new car.
Lets see how this pans out. I have 12 stock Slash new in the box brushed I bought on a wholesale deal. I give it a few years Ill be able to do the same with these.
Yeah I've got more slashes than I wish I did. An old track I raced at used to run a stock slash clash, so that was fun for my kiddo and I. However, they closed. Only so many mudbosses I need to build out of them. Thanks for watching!
@Designatedeagle Haha... one word Christmas! I learned how to be a savvy shopper from the wife! 🤣
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.
Well said, I couldn’t agree more!
@@MyFart21 I went to actual buy my Traxxas Modified yesterday and the local hobby shop said they have 20 more on order, but they're back ordered almost a month out. 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.
Have mine ordered its here but cant pick it up yet i think we can buy them next wk. They look so good with good parts
I really like that Traxxas put the Extreme Heavy Duty components on this car. Shows that they're commited to releasing better products and not just selling subpar parts.
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. If I was Traxxas I would have said screw you screw you and took away any of your rights to sell their stuff
I think you have me confused with another UA-camr, I haven’t done a live stream event. I totally agree with your perspective here.
I love this body maybe it’s because I live in the Midwest but that’s the body style we run on the dirt track out here
Hey Kyle, it’s not the style that we run here in the northeast. That’s ok though, I love the style as well and can tell you these are gonna catch on and be raced.
Soon to be in it! Awesome video!! 😎👍
Thanks for the support 😀
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.
Unfortunately its to late for traxxas to put a late model body on it and change the name. But IMO these will eventually be turned into alot of other classes just like the original slash was. Late Model included.
Who knows, if this product is successful. I could see them expanding the product line and releasing other bodies on the same car. Either way, I’m excited for the car. Thanks for watching!
They did it how they wanted to and I think it’s awesome! If people don’t like it that’s just the way it goes. Lol
So, your the rule setter? 😂
Never claimed I was the rule setter, just trying to help out and provide some guidance. Cheers 🍻
Aren't these being more for a new class for beginners that are just getting into racing and don't have the money to buy a slash truck then buy all the other parts to convert it over to a dirt track car?
I think this is just a more complete kit. Being $380 and still needing a battery and charger. I don’t think your saving any money. However, you are getting a car that has much higher quality components.
@@OvalEdgeRC I don't think there is a dirt oval track here for r/c racing, after seeing this come out I am tempted to clear off a small oval on my property around my small crawler course and get one to play around with.
Looks just like the full size IMCA mod and sport mod we run here on the west coast. I can see a lot of drivers getting these and having wraps done to match their full size cars.
Yeah I agree… maybe I’ll do a DIY video for people who want to make their own wrap.
Or do you mean not imca or wissota
