Earlier I messaged Mark about it. Lowlife using MSM name & pic. Some jiberish about on short list of Winners, said something about me winning one of them neat thumbsteer device of yours , they also mentioned that they will send me one , which ever color they / you happens to , pick. JeJe.
The Slash is the perfect all around RC vehicle. I have $2,000.00 into mine and I don't regret anything about it. I'd do it all over again and again and again.
I have 2 2 wheel drive rustlers the new rustler 4x4 vxl nothing's is stock and I love the Aarma notorious my favorite most durable rc I own period so far
And this is why I should have bought one NEW! I feel like such a sucker for buying something that was used when I first got into this awesome hobby. Oh man that looks like fun!! Great video Mark!!! There's another person here in the comments that suggested camo and I agree!! Maybe colors to match Jamie's shirt or something! 🔥🔥🔥
I have a trail truck and it's tyres squeal like an old American move makes me smile like a kid.i have a vintage bandit put a brushless system in it and got awesome speed out of it eventually broke the gearbox it's retired now love to get a slash looks awesome to drive cheers for the videos! Keep rcing all!!!
@Mark Santa Maria I just want to say thank you because you have allowed me show the kiddos how fun this hobby i have been a terrible influence on them because they see me take apart a car and then they do the same I will have 4 year old not really know what he is doing take a whole car apart and I’m just wanting to thank you because I watch your videos the most and you have literally taught me quite a bit and I appreciate it thank you
That’s a good looking truck. I just got the 1/7 scale Mojave & the weight of it allows me to go full throttle & let me tell you it sounds like a hurricane coming. I like the new body style on the Slash there definitely a great RC. I only like the 4 wheel drive trucks though they just seem to drive so much better.
I enjoyed the video. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I thought the body on your Slash looked great. If you buy a Slash, buy a pair of RPM or aluminum rear hubs. We run these with our school club and I just buy a bunch of cheap aluminum rear buns and when they break, which they will, I give them to the student. That's one thing Traxxas could improve on the Slash. They almost always break. Thanks for video. The speed of that Slash is insane.
You got me man- looking forward to my neon green thumb wheel! Maybe I can film my TRX4 Sport now, I put a Creep shell on it in Gold/Green, really pops in the sun ✌️
I’m gonna scoop one of these up this spring. Tired of 4wd stuff all the time and the new Magnum trans seems worth it. Cool looking truck and that body is nice! Thanks Mark for the review and first hand look
I have been eyeing a bandit for awhile. I haven't had a buggy in a few decades, it would be fun to drive one again. I picked up some of your thumb wheels!!!👍👍👍
But Bandit is the worst buggy for its price. Better buy Serpent RTR than Bandit. Also Typhon 3S is better. I love my Traxxas Slash and Sledge, but i never buy Traxxas parody on buggy called Bandit :-D. It's not a buggy, It's a toy.
I had that problem with my RC10GT 15 years ago, so much that I put lead weights in the front to “try “ to keep the front down. We clocked it right at 50 and it was a beast.
Not trying to point out the obvious, but once you put the padded wheel back on the Thumb steering wheel it covers the “MSM Limited” logo! Perhaps put the MSM on the Thumb portion? 🤔
A Traxxas.... I would never have guessed. Hehe. PLEASE, anything but Traxxas next time. How about a new Tekno? Or working on your existing Teknos? One Slash looks like every other Slash. I'm begging you. 😁
✌🏻😎🏴I’ve asked this before but Aren’t ALL traxxas bodies licensed ? because they have the real full scale versions & race them in real races. We just don’t pay extra on their bodies because they own the licensing for their own bodies/paint schemes.?????
I can't believe I'm admitting this, but my slash VXL was just too fast, I changed it to the xl5 and titan motor. I would rather have it more drivable than try to control it. I am using some faster gearing and 2s and it's fast enough for me.
To me that's not fun. It's just like my 2wd upgraded stampede. Can't drive it full throttle ever. Granted it was my first truck, it stays on the shelf since it's so undroveable. I'd need a brick on the front to even attempt a full speed pass.
TSM stands for Traxxas Stability Management and basically what it does is it makes your car run in a straight line in off-road surfaces. If your rear wheels move to one side without you turning the wheel then TSM will correct this by turning the wheels by itself and correcting the position that the truck is facing to keep it in-line thus giving it more stability in those off-road conditions
There is a spammer commenting. Please disregard any comments about winning anything. There are no active contest.
So that wasn’t you, who replied to my comment, in the video of: How much do professional RC Drivers earn. I hope they get what they deserve.
Got that on my comment yesterday haha I've been on the internet long enough to smell shit when it hits the wall lol all good mate
What is the TSM? I have a slash myself
Darn it! I never win anything....

Need a camouflage thumb steer
Hell to the yes
@@upspierre 3rd Hell ya!
You are the reason my son and I got in to rc from seeing you and your boys
Mark is the reason I got into racing
I’m a traxxas dealer and I personally have 25 cars roughly, 15 of them are 2wd slash’s, they are by far my favorite!
you should try 6S arrma kraton/talion/typhon
@@idan678 I agree I have the typhon, felony and kraton 8s and all of them are amazing.

If you got this used, what's the difference between new and used? Other than taking it out of the box and whatnot.
@@reidisaacson9623wear and tear and hidden damages
I love 2wd shoft course trucks. So much fun to drive. You know what else is too fast….Your infraction that you need to drive! Haha
Very cool slash, ordered me a my daughter each a teal thumb steer steering wheel, I do like that color...👍👍

Seems like venting the back of the body would help a ton with parachuting
100% something that should be done on a stadium truck body with that much power under it.
@@K-Anator that’s a Short Course truck body as Stadium Truck bodies are much narrower and between the tires.
Lol the fan and you shirt towards the end of the video is hilarious 😂
Just want to tell you are my favorite youtube channel thanks Mark
The redesigned caps on the ultra shocks are super solid. I’ve never had one come off.
That body looks so good 🤯😀💥💯
EPIC' BRILLIANT' AWESOME!!
Just ordered a teal one for the wife. Now off to Michael’s for some teal paint to match. 😁
🤣🤣
You have such a nice house!! You should give us a tour of your house!!

😂Nice color scheme! love that teal thumb steering wheel!
Just ordered a Teal wheel for my new Maxx, Can't wait to use it on the controller. Thanks Mark!!
My Mini E-Revo is also making that tyre squealing noise whenever it starts skidding on hard pavement. I find it ceaselessly amusing :D
you missed the steering bell crank it's a little more beefy and different.
Nice car cool review. I like the colors
Just ordered can not wait brotha keep up the awesome content!
Hack Fab shock limiters and adjusting the slipper helped a lot with the wheeling for me.
That's just wicked insane power! Love the vxl system! Gotta have one ! 🤫👍👍🤙👽😎
That rocks I might have to cop one
You got me man- looking forward to my neon green thumb wheel! Maybe I can film my TRX4 Sport now, I put a Creep shell on it in Gold/Green, really pops in the sun ✌️
Love the outro music 😁😁
What a great looking truck! 👍
Hello from southeast alaska have fun with new stuff bro
Add a wheelie bar the same set up for the bandit with that being said you should hit top speeds, I had to do it for my 4x4 VXL
I’m gonna scoop one of these up this spring. Tired of 4wd stuff all the time and the new Magnum trans seems worth it. Cool looking truck and that body is nice! Thanks Mark for the review and first hand look

Them darn beans will get you every time...lol...
Way better on 2s, still 40+, which on dirt is plenty
Hello from V&b speed a new rc community channel stop in say hi thank u 👍
Enjoy the week
My nitro slash parachutes too. That is also with the windshield cut and rear window cut .
I had that problem with my RC10GT 15 years ago, so much that I put lead weights in the front to “try “ to keep the front down. We clocked it right at 50 and it was a beast.
Nice truck!!! Great video bro!!!
I have found on my 4x4 Ultimate that if I stiffen up the rear shocks, it lessens the wheelies.
EDIT: @ 10:32 you nail it. Yes...it helps big time!
Cool new Slash
I wish they were to have a transmission upgrade for the 4x4's just like the 4x2's.
Try stiffening the rear a bit to keep the front end from popping up so easily on you.
How many years have you been racing Mark? 😊 👍
What was your 1st rc and do you remember before lipo's? 😎
Great video..will the thumb steer fit a flysky gt5 by chance? I have a old tq radio I can get the wheel off of if that will help?
Just ordered the dark blue & white thumb steering wheels!!
Hey Mark, what are the chances of getting a “Matte Brown” thumb steering wheel? Lol, TOTALLY JUST KIDDING!
Not trying to point out the obvious, but once you put the padded wheel back on the Thumb steering wheel it covers the “MSM Limited” logo! Perhaps put the MSM on the Thumb portion? 🤔
Mark you should try to put something to get full throttle out of it i got 61 with small weights in the front keeps the front end down
Just grabbed a pair of the teal dips!
I just ordered a teal!!
Should see if the wheelie bar off the drag slash would mount 🤔
Ive had mine fly up on a speed run LMFAOOO
A Traxxas.... I would never have guessed. Hehe.
PLEASE, anything but Traxxas next time. How about a new Tekno? Or working on your existing Teknos? One Slash looks like every other Slash. I'm begging you. 😁
Just got the limited edition matte teal thumb steer and some stickers. I didn’t catch the first limited color so I had to snag this one!
I have the previous brushless slash 2wd and it can never reach top speed either before flipping lol
LCG chassis time and maybe use flo-tek or evo body from Pro-line.
Great channel cool cars
Can you do all the hop ups on this
I love my fox Slash
I got the same one!!!! We race 2wd in our backyard.
You should put a longer lower wheelie bar on it.
I just ordered a teal thumb steer for r me and Ann. Get them while you can!
Hows every one doing MSM community 👋✌️
Car insane
I have the older 2wd slash. brushless setup. the truck is sketchy.. lol
I wish you had steering wheels for the futabas
Are slashes not sold with lcg chassis out of the box anymore?
i already want those tires for spec slash racing.
Do those thumbstears fit flysky gt5?
Are they universal or Traxxas only?
that rear bumper will let you put the drag slash wheelie bars
Hi, the thumb steers, would they fit noble nb4
I cant even hold stampede vxl 2wd with 3s lipo,not even wheelie bar cant help it keep it on the ground
I need one.....I ran into you at the traxxas store during your stampede camp and you didn't have any on hand
If I buy 1 can you sign it like last time!?
✌🏻😎🏴I’ve asked this before but Aren’t ALL traxxas bodies licensed ? because they have the real full scale versions & race them in real races. We just don’t pay extra on their bodies because they own the licensing for their own bodies/paint schemes.?????
TSM is awesome
Mark where can I get this slash I can’t find it
World wide shipping?
Would love to get one but unfortunately it´s not being shipped to Germany :(
i just got one and its awesome
Why don’t they use lcg chassis sense it’s licensed?
I did the exact same thing when I put my brand new fox edition body it just made me cringe so hard hearing skid across asphalt
I put the brushless system in a old brushed slash so no tsm makes me feel like I actually am in a car controlling the fish tale
I can't believe I'm admitting this, but my slash VXL was just too fast, I changed it to the xl5 and titan motor. I would rather have it more drivable than try to control it. I am using some faster gearing and 2s and it's fast enough for me.
is there a file i can get get to 3d print the thumb steer myself?
Do they fit futaba 7pxr?
To me that's not fun. It's just like my 2wd upgraded stampede. Can't drive it full throttle ever. Granted it was my first truck, it stays on the shelf since it's so undroveable. I'd need a brick on the front to even attempt a full speed pass.
How do I get one of those
I cant go full throttle with my slash. It does the same thing
the slipper clutch is to tight from te factory loosen it and you wil goo faster
Do they make the wheels in colors for males!
Do him vs stampede at wheelieng
i need that body on my slash
Is the way the body is made it acts like a parashoot I have the same problem with my arrma senton till I switched the body
to what body?
@@1watchall that slash abd the arrma senton go threw the same shit
@@1watchall I went with the big rock for now it isn't as wide so no parashooting and it actually doesn't pick up dirt to the chasi as well
Sweet
Nothing on the bandit is cool bro. Shit looks like my 90s losi jrx2 lol
