Facebook marketplace find for $75 needed some TLC. It had shocks but they weren't cutting it, so I bought some new ones. Lipo it came with was puffed hardcase so I ran my own, switched in the LOCKUPs on the back that were in the box and SHE'S ALIVE!! HAHAHA! What a great truck! I owned a Slash way back in the day and it was a stock version. I soon learned you couldn't race it and became an owner of an HPI Blitz. But with this setup, it's a great basher! Thanks for watching and I have plenty more great videos coming down the stream soon. Cheers!
Thanks Donnie! Got plans to bring this to the skate park later this week and catch some air. Every now and then if you are looking often you'll see something that pops up. Happens a 1-3 times a year. I used to buy broken RCs on ebay back in the day I had good luck. Sometimes you get an RC that had the reverse switch on the steering and the person couldn't figure it out. I score a HSP 4wd Monster Savagery truck for hardly anything and that's all that was wrong. lol. Anyway that Xmaxx is a sweet ride. Enjoy it brother. Have a good one.
What a deal, I would love to find a treasure like that. The first rc i got was a 4x4 brushed slash, it was/is a great car. Obviously upgraded it to brushed but it has treated me well. Very little in the way of breakage, i did change out the shocks, but not because i had to...lol
Once in a blue moon you find an amazing deal on FB Marketplace. I usually look almost daily, I also like trading RCs. My buddy is an e-recycler and some good stuff shows up there too time to time. Everyone loves a great deal right? lol. I have a 4wd Slash too, they are great and dependable. They just aren't good for SCT racing (CoG is too high). Now that I don't race anymore (track closed in Vineland - Prudhommes) I've snagged a couple Slashes for fun driving.
@@mikesrccorner I am still in my first year of rc cars, so i never have had a chance to race. I grew up not far from Vineland (Smithville) but had no idea they had racing. I would love to try racing but don't ever see any rc events in the area. The slash is prone to rolling, especially with the brushless, but will say the sway bars helped alot. My slash is old dependable, its always in the car as back up when i am out and it always survives...lol
@@MrGonzoify There is a new track at the NET camping resort on victoria ave in vineland up on the hill. It's a nice track but they charge to run there plus you have to pay a day fee to enter the camping park. There is oval racing in port colborne at turn2 raceway. There is a few other private places too by invitation only. Racing was fun back in the day. if you look back in my channel you'll see videos of me on the track in vineland. cheers!

1st on here, and why not a 15 ft ramp? Lol
Great grab Mike, I lucked out on buys like the Xmaxx 8s. Never find a deal like that again.
