@@bradcarpenter1881 as someone who's just getting into the hobby i'm trying to learn as much as i can about the traxxas slash. what're some things i should igrage first for durability/speed ?? would love to know even tho i'm way late to asking ! 😂
@@twisted-tenn1992 i know what it’s called i raced from 2012-2016, what I’m saying is we don’t have a “SPEC SLASH” class! Hence the title of his video...
I have a slash I race with the STRC rustler chassis. I love to run it because I can beat the snot out of it and not worry about parts because they're everywhere..😎
Love what you do for the community. I tune in just to see what kind of new idea you have, or if it's something I personally thought of but don't have the nerve to publicly talk about. Keep it up, RC will only get better with you showing a lot of us how it can prosper.
All of these Slash trucks makes me miss my first 1/10th scale. It wasn’t a Slash, but my sc10 used to battle with them back at Tacoma RC Raceway. Good times
Great that you are helping so many. You might want to stress the "no cheating" aspect. A yellow car missed a jump, tried to climb from the side rather than go three feet and take the jump. Then they gave up and drove on missing a jump and two turns... newbies need to know.
10 people got so mad there wasn’t an Arrma in this video that they hit the dislike button and threw their purse across the room knocking over their autographed Ru Paul calendar.
Hey Mark, I sent you an instruction video through messenger on how to install those x Maxx wheel decals when I shipped them out to you. It shows where everything goes and how to use a hair dryer or heat gun to get out all the bubbles and make the vinyl stick stronger. If you need anymore or another set just give me a shout, no cost bud also any color.
My local track RC3 in Huntsville Alabama is going to start a class for spec slash next season, I think they got a little inspiration from your videos to give it a try.
Can you make your way over to New England or any sort of place near mass there is a sick Rc madness track in Connecticut please man it would be greatly appreciated we need spec slash there
@Mark Santa Maria hi I am thinking about getting the E revo 2.0 but i know you have one and i was wondering what upgrades i should do and if its worth it
Do you have a link to a video already made for getting into RC racing? Looking to buy my first RC and im thinking the slash is what I want. But there are different kinds of slash setups. So unsure if there are different racing classes for different slash setups. But looking to just purchase a slash pull it out of the box and get into racing. Thanks for the help.
that class would be a good playlist on your channel. and I doubt you would ever be up this way near Seattle so youtube might be the only way to show some of us. maybe film two noobies as you walk them through it. it's something I would like to do with my little brother someday and this summer might be perfect.
Mark, I am just up the road in Anna, and have been wanting to get back into racing for a very long time!! Where are the tracks so I can go watch and get the bug again?!?! So glad I stumbled across your Vlog.
Love what your doing man with showing awareness about the RC world. The vids you put out are fricking awesome. Keep it up man. Been out the world for awhile and now after 9 years of sitting in a box I now have 3 brushed slash 2wd and 1 4wd brushless slash. The town I live in doesn't have a RC store close buy so I'm left with the all mighty internet. Do you have some good links to some great Traxxas parts and upgrads. Really want to get back into spec racing again.
Mark if you travel please come to jakes rc in Topeka Kansas it’s easily an underground hobby here and we need new racers (I’m new to the race part but I’ve been hardcore about rc for months)
I'm Watching this a year after you posted. I've got family in Prosper; next time I'm back there, I'll be down for a Slash race! I definately know what my next truck will be...
Noooo. I missed the time when mark goes through the comments! 🥲🥲. But I’m glad today was an upload! Did you miss an upload yesterday or am I losing my mind? 😂. The decals look great with the XMAXX tires!
Mark, grandson, and I like your vids. My grandson wants another Traxxas, a Slash 4 x 4. Since he does alot of upgrades, shouldn't he buy the one with the brushed Titan motor which is the least expensive out of the 3 and do his upgrades from the least expensive car since he's going to replace the motor, esc, shocks etc anyway? Your thoughts. Thanks
its the 189.99 one with the 12t brushed motor all stock cheap and fun to race. they also race the mini t or b and its 139.99 and they race both mod and stock at the same time only dif is the mod takes a longer lap so its fun and cheap too if your in to 1\16 scale
Dam only time ove heard ppl say cant say the price is cus its not figured out or they are gonna change it lol but yea the spec slash racing is cool I wouldnt mine doing it.
Why isn’t there ever any soft dirt tracks? Like sand sections, tracks that arnt built on hard pick clay. In my opinion and this is just my opinion but I feel like the tracks would be more fun if they had different sections. Sand section, soft dirt that makes ruts, clay is great for jumps cause it’s less maintenance but ya… I can’t find a video on you tube where it wasn’t a hard pack clay track. Seems like people don’t really get to creative making these tracks
Sorry, Mark, but even being behind the vehicles isn't guaranteed to be "safe". As a Professional Chauffeur, I had an incident where, when the traffic light turned green, the first vehicle went forward to the second vehicle went forward, and the third vehicle went into REVERSE...right into the Lexus LS450-L limo I was driving. So, never assume all vehicles will go forward...lol
This honestly reminds me of the golden age of rc. Racing used to be FUN! Spec racing is the way to push this hobby back into the mainstream.
This comment is spot on!

This should be a class all over the US for new drivers just getting into racing...
It's called Novice. Run what you Brung
Its a great class!

@@MarkSantaMaria only spec slash here in Florida where i am is Dirt Oval...
I agree. I love running my traxxas slash. I take it to a ball diamond near my house and run both my red and blue. Thanx for the video Mark.
Not going to lie I giggled on the rc that went reverse, been there 😂😂
You talking about the rustler?
Cause I was driving it the kind sir on the blue jacket let me drive his rustler it was my first time XD
@@anthonydaniel953 nah on the mains one of the cars went reverse on the start
@@rcaddictive8572 actually I was going in reverse to in some points of the race XD

The hobby needs more spec racing for kids with Slashes. Great video.

MSMvlogs Spec Slash clinic tour! Id be all for that
It was such a blast to host and can't wait for many more!
Great that you are helping so many.

That spec slash race would be a blast. I would like to see your clinic in 918. Thanks for all that you do for the rc community.
Mark: Slash Spec Racibg
Me: CHAOS!!!
LOL, looks like everyone had a great time! 👍
10 people got so mad there wasn’t an Arrma in this video that they hit the dislike button and threw their purse across the room knocking over their autographed Ru Paul calendar.
oddly specific speaking from experience?
the inside of the rim lip i believe are the other decals
synchronized chaos the little buggy flying is sending me
It was fun watching the slash race. Nice video Mark 👍
What exactly does spec slash mean?? Is it just a stock slash out of the box?

Super nice of you. So what were the long green stickers for?
@@robertwren2289 I am curious of that as well! Maybe for the bumper? I doubt it, it would get too shredded.
The inside of the bead lock ring front and back side of the wheels.
ua-cam.com/video/U5XBaekbblg/v-deo.html
@@raymondblanchard4317 Do you sell the bead lock decals
3:42 pure beginner chaos! I'd fit right in lol
Wish we had spec slash at my track! Keep up the good work Mr. Mark!
I like that one guy went backwards on the start!
The green strips are for the wheels after you put on the decals on face of the rim you use the strips and put them inside the dish of the rim
I think the straight lines are for the inner part of the wheel so make the hole beed lock green
So sweet would love to see some spec slash racing in the 503👍
As would I
The pink is just blinding but looks amazing, and I think we might be seeing another hoss you dont pass up deals
Is there a website that has a list of events? I’d love to know. Thank you. Hope all is well.
I love these 2wd slashes maybe we can get more of those in the future
Maybe a noob question but what is spec slash, just out of the box and race or something done to the car? Asking cus im kinda new to rc
Are those 2wd or 4wd
That orange body on the end (the one that went in reverse) is killer
im sorry, but what is a spec slash? Thanks for all the videos! ya really got me wanting a Hoss
Hope in calgary ab we get a slash mod class race this summer
We dyed our bead locks with rit clothing dye!
My local track RC3 in Huntsville Alabama is going to start a class for spec slash next season, I think they got a little inspiration from your videos to give it a try.
Can you make your way over to New England or any sort of place near mass there is a sick Rc madness track in Connecticut please man it would be greatly appreciated we need spec slash there
If ya ever come to erie pa I have a place we could do something like this it would be fun
@Mark Santa Maria hi I am thinking about getting the E revo 2.0 but i know you have one and i was wondering what upgrades i should do and if its worth it
Is it worth it mark?
If you do get one get the Traxxas aluminum rear brace, hot racing limiting straps for the rear suspension, buy a upgraded steering servo. #TeamRevo
all smactrac wants to race is b6d buggys. here in st. charles, mo. Wish they would do something like this
I am getting new slash soon my first rc was a team losi street w weapon
Cool! I'm in FL too, thinking about what first RC to purchase! Great channel bro :)
What is the best way to prepare stock Traxxas tires? For indoor clay
Those green strips go on the inside of the beadlock to the rim
Man only if I was closer I would love to come race with you guy and love how buddy shooter you out

That one car @ 8:04.. got hit and was like let me take the short cut

Nice ,,, I wanna change my grey rings 👍👍
Mark, I am just up the road in Anna, and have been wanting to get back into racing for a very long time!! Where are the tracks so I can go watch and get the bug again?!?! So glad I stumbled across your Vlog.
LOL that race.....crashes, flying in wrong direction, crashing...oh man.....🤣🤣🤣
Whens the next slash clinic. Iill come
you should make a video of 1/10 tc stock or modified
Love what your doing man with showing awareness about the RC world. The vids you put out are fricking awesome. Keep it up man.

Sorry to have missed this, got the flu in El Paso and was in bed all weekend...can't wait for next event!!
What servo blew out! Are you using Traxxas brands. If so, you will never have that issue with the Traxxas 2250
where is the video talking about best upgrades for slash
Mark if you travel please come to jakes rc in Topeka Kansas it’s easily an underground hobby here and we need new racers (I’m new to the race part but I’ve been hardcore about rc for months)
You do one in cleveland area you'll have atleast one crew showing up
Will u come to ireland and do it
Awesome stuff!!!
Where is this located? I'm in Texas and would love my family to be spectators for this! Thanks,
Keep up the good work mark I look forward to watching!
Hi Mark Santa Maria. I have the traxass ford bronco Do you no of a good light kit for it
Dude! PLEASE come out to Georgia and put on a class!! 🙏🔥🤘
Which track?
@@MarkSantaMaria Loganville RC Park
I think the strips go on the inside ring of the wheel
I can only imagine that the straight strips are for the inside diameter of the Beadlock rings.
I'm guessing those strips are for the lip of the wheels.
I'm Watching this a year after you posted. I've got family in Prosper; next time I'm back there, I'll be down for a Slash race! I definately know what my next truck will be...
Oregon needs a class!!!
Are the straight line green stickers supposed to go on the inner lip of the rim?
Are the straight strips for inner rim?
Noooo. I missed the time when mark goes through the comments! 🥲🥲. But I’m glad today was an upload! Did you miss an upload yesterday or am I losing my mind? 😂. The decals look great with the XMAXX tires!
Hahaha! Going back to weekday uploads only ;)
The strip is for the lip of the rim !
what battery do you use for spec slash
YesSiRr!!😎👌👊🔥💯💯!! Very nice brO!!
what are the rules for spec slash? you can put metal gears in a servo?
Rainbow vans 🌈
Where is this track?
Who hit reverse on the go?
So im 2 years in and i want to spec race , is it 2wd or 4wd
I wish I could find a good tractor race or drive out in Virginia
Awesome Class
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming :) 🎁🎄🎅
Still want to kno what the other decals are for lol
Mark, grandson, and I like your vids. My grandson wants another Traxxas, a Slash 4 x 4. Since he does alot of upgrades, shouldn't he buy the one with the brushed Titan motor which is the least expensive out of the 3 and do his upgrades from the least expensive car since he's going to replace the motor, esc, shocks etc anyway? Your thoughts. Thanks
Where is these races at I'm in west Virginia
quick question is there a way to disable the reverse on kraton 6s v5 truck?
yay, I was in video lmao
Why are they called "spec slash" is it just normal traxxas slash. Could someone tell me what it means and what car to get for it
its the 189.99 one with the 12t brushed motor all stock cheap and fun to race. they also race the mini t or b and its 139.99 and they race both mod and stock at the same time only dif is the mod takes a longer lap so its fun and cheap too if your in to 1\16 scale

Sorry, Mark, but even being behind the vehicles isn't guaranteed to be "safe".

Lol... so true
Short course chaos. Marshals stay safe lol.
Looks like a blast
👏👏👏
Makes me wish I had a track near me :(
rC car competition 👍👍👍💯💯
Good content
kahit lipoly lang Mark masaya na ako
f yah, i love my SLASH !!!
i would pay to take those classes
