One thing you can try to help keep the front down is to max the rear shocks out in ride height. When it squats down it’ll level out and not parachute nearly at all. I went from lifting around 52 to staying planted at 61 with the body on and everything.
If you use heavier tires or put a little weight in the front bumper and that'll help keep the nose down. My 2wd stampede is much less squirrelly with heavy tires on it vs the stock tires. But more weight = more force when it inevitably crashes, as you know.
Yeah someone said in a previous video that I should try to pin a tennis ball under the body in the front for more weight….I might wanna try that out…assuming the tennis ball will fit under the body
I have an extremely similar setup, only real difference is I still use the stock chassis. I have found using the rustler 4wd tires work well to keep the front end from lifting up so much.
They are a little heavier, they will balloon a little and need to be reglued if you are getting 70 mph+. But I have tried a few different things and seems to really help.
been waiting for this video. im gonna put a 4274 motor and 6s esc in my slash and see how it goes. might need a pinion the size of a xmaxx since its a 2600kv
@@slashraptor9317 I don’t see any place I’d be able to mount the pack upfront unfortunately…I can probably weigh the front down with something else though
My brother you must use a little bit of weight on the front of the RC if it has enough power to do a high-speed pass it will have enough power to do a pass with 10 oz of weight on the front.
Happy rc'ing!
@@johnlujan8706 thanks!

Ok thank you for the tip!

@RCKnockout you could use cable ties to strap a medium sized socket to the front bumper, too.
@@spinelessmoderate8715 yeah that might work well too…thanks for the tip!

That’s interesting….how do the tires help keep the front end down?

@@christopherzatalokin8652 gotcha! Thanks for the tip!
my slash 4x4 hit 90mph at 60% throttle b4 the tires exploded. running the mamba monster 6s.
That’s some impressive speed!

Simple fix, use automotive stick on wheel balance weights on the front end 🫡
Thanks for the tip!

Nice! That’s gonna be insane!
@ yep. what do you do when your bearings are bad. im always replacing my bearings. how often do you replace them?
@@bs9two4 I just replace them when they go bad…they don’t go bad very often for me
@ they go bad like every month for me 🥲
@@bs9two4 bummer…that seems pretty frequent
What drive shafts are you running?
Integy Hardened Steel Driveshafts
Sorry to ask, but did you buy that Slash used?
No, I bought it new
Find a way to get that heavy pack up front more

@ try using the wheelie bar from your drag slash

Thanks for the tip bro! 😎
If you cable tie the front end down it prob wont lift that much(:
Yeah you might be right about that….I can say jt definitely needs more weight on the front to stay down
I could never get my slash’s over 50 ish mph they’d always parachute never mind you run the bug body lol
@@belkey3 yeah the bug body definitely helps but it’ll still catch the air and parachute eventually
3s 45 4s 55
Body off 62
Good guess!
its less eficient electricaly
What’s less efficient?
@RCKnockout u need litle more electricity but runs cooler as in 2s 4000kv
@@Johnny6ex this setup does run super cool 😎
Don’t mess around with damaged Lipo’s ever
It doesn’t appear any of the cells were affected….I think the outer case just came apart…I’m keeping an eye on it though
@ for safety reasons only I have been in and scene another lipo battery fire 🔥 your video is cool
@@craigconley2529 Appreciate it! Thanks for looking out 👍😉
