      @urineanimal 5 років тому

      Only versatile due to a similar psychological process of sexual repression traits driving people with 1 extra IQ point above average to moddify these weak platforms to come 1% closer to everything else that is way cheaper, far more durable and faster out the box. I really wonder.... what level of financial fraud the parent company engages in to keep from going bankrupt. Maybe not.... after all, the customer gets what they pay for lol.

Its a great basher with a few upgrades (shock caps) and can be fun for spec slash racing. I own a brushless slash 2wd and its good fun. May not be the greates track car but it is a decent basher. Also got a tmaxx and i love it. In the last bit are you referring to the nitro 4tec?

    You had me all the way up to drilling holes in the top of the body for the speaker mount. I would’ve gone with Velcro myself as well as Velcro for the body mounts for a more authentic look. It’s too bad there isn’t a way to narrow the front end for a more realistic drag work and getting rid of some of the negative camber on the front end would be ideal.

    Can I do this also on a nitro slash?

      I doubt it since the suspension setup is completely different

    Why not use the rear A- arms on the front? Cheaper, less chopping, just need a spacer and longer pins. Use to do this on my old stampede 2wd to make the front equally long as the rear. Just like on a 4x4 stampede.

    heres an idea traxxas , release it as a kit , maybe without the body so it can be customised , and without wheels , as i reckon the j concept wheels would be a better choice , i for one would buy it . . . .

    How much would it cost to buy all the stuff they used?
