I've watched every driving episode of the 2wd slash series, enjoyed every single one. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I’m glad you like the series!!
@Gs yeah you’ll need an esc and motor….I was running the 3500kv Velineon motor and Vxl3s esc
@Gs I can’t remember the battery I was running in this video…but I recommend the Onyx 4000kv motor and 70a esc….I run it in my 2wd Stampede….it come in around $80 which isn’t bad for both the motor and esc
I love these driving videos! People on youtube usually talk more about the car than actually driving it lol
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice spot, love the terrain epic jumping and wheelie’s
Thanks man!!
Filming one hand is getting super good, keep up the good work, rubberside down
Appreciate it! I’ll try my best to keep her on all four lol 😂
I have just brought one of these, was great to see how well it did in that environment and the amount of punishment you gave it. Great work, you have a new subscriber.
Appreciate the support! It’s a very fun and capable rc!
Im lovin my 2wd Slash, more than I thought I would.
Yeah! Honestly I’m liking mine way more than I thought I would too
Them two wheeel drive slashes are so simple to work on and fun
Yeah they are!
awesome rc and great bashing,cool video
Thanks bro 😎
@@RCKnockout 😁👍
the slash is a pretty epic car and i love the look of it thanks for the vid
No problem….glad you liked it!!
That looks fun!
Oh yeah!
I have badlands on beadlocks and my diff locked with epoxy for full posi. Yeah those tires rip hard. The big dirt pile disappeared at my favourite spot 😢. Great video, makes me wanna go find a new dirt pile.
Oh yeah the Badlands are awesome for Bashing!
Nice... she rocks....keep up the videos!! Cheers, jp
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I have a fully upgraded slash 4x4 ultimate with the center hoss diff, vg racing springs. You name it its on there. I still drive my 2wd slash i bought used on fb marketplace more often bc its just more fun. Its brushless with the high center chassis and the stock progressive rate springs. Only thing ive done to it is add a sealed diff
Awesome man! I think the Slash 2wd is more fun than the 4wd in some environments…especially in the sand!
I've considered a Rustler for about 25 years now. I love trophy trucks so style-wise the Slash is excellent! Watching this makes me wanna get a slash instead. Lol coming off an original Losi XX buggy i got in 94 I'm trying to get back into it but too much has to be done to the XX to bring it current.
Yeah rc I’m sure has come a long way in that time lol…..I do highly recommend the Slash though!
Just buy a Losi 22S SC instead. Great basher truck.
I picked up an Arrma Vorteks 3s blx couple weeks after i posted this.
Hi mate great video and to see a 2wd slash go so well. I've got a 2wd slash that after watching your video I'm going to convert my brush system to a brushless system. Thanks mate keep them coming 👍🦘😁😁
Glad you liked it man! Yeah the 2wd Slash is actually more fun in the sand compared with the 4wd in my opinion…..can’t go wrong with brushless power either lol
@@RCKnockout thanks for the reply mate. You can't bet brushless system for power. I'm about to fit a brushless system in my wheelchair hahaha catch me if you can 👍🤪🤣🤣
@@armandopace6113 no problem man lol 😂
@@RCKnockout what would benefit of 4wd be?
@@asuchemist3371 better traction and more pull
Good traction
Yeah pretty good
I'm getting one of these for My Nephew. He loves His Brother's ECX AMP DB. The truck in this video does sick wheelies which both of My Nephews love!! Thanks for sharing this. Liked and Subscribed.
Appreciate it! Your nephew is gonna Love it! It’s an Awesome Truck!
It looks fun from this video! I'm an old school racer. I have an old Yokomo, Gold chassis RC10, and a Kyosho Optima. Todays cars and trucks haul a$$!
@@RCKnockout You're very welcome. Keep the great content coming.
@@J1Z06 oh yeah! The new cars are pretty fast!
@@J1Z06 thanks! Will do!
Do you have any clearance issues with the badlands tires? I’m running hot racing big bore shocks all the way around so I even have a bit more ground clearance then a normal slash but I’m still concerned. Great video my man!! Love this spot
I’m using 4x4 wheels so the tires touch the body a little bit but otherwise I haven’t encountered any other clearance issues
soooo close to 10k!
Almost!
@@RCKnockout 10k! you did it! congrats!
Def looks like a paradise! 👍
Sure is!
Nice setup
Thanks!
@@RCKnockout what gear setup u recommend for my slash 2wd I have A 2100kv 86 spur with a 23 pinion brushless system 60a esc
@@rccorcoles7082 that’s what I run on mine
@@RCKnockout really yours seems alot faster
@@rccorcoles7082 well It probably is since I’ve got the 3500kv motor…..that’s a lot more rpm than a 2100kv
Love your videos. Just bought a Slash VXL 2wd for my son and I. Total new to RC and we're having a blast. Wanted to ask how you clean your slash after a run? Do you use a chassis cover to keep out dirt and sand?
Thanks! That’s awesome you guys can share in the hobby!
I have used dust covers before…but the electronics get pretty hot. I typically just use compressed air or use water if it’s super dirty…I make sure to spray wd40 on the bearings if I do wash it though
I seen your video Ware you were driving that big truck RC on water. I heard that the Slashes can do that as well. Have you ever tested that? I was thinking about trying it out at pyramid lake but I'm gona wait till I have a set of sand paddles for it. Then I'd like to try it but want to be sure I don't screw up my Slash if she ends up sinking. Lol
Yeah it’s possible with a 4x4 slash……I’ve never tried it though…..maybe sometime
hey guy i watch you often. i remember you talking about tire claws that goes on the traxxas wheel hex. by any chance you know that stock number?
Yeah here’s a link for them
amzn.to/3Zy6xWd
i have a slash 2wd and especially in dirt doesn't seem to get any traction and very hard to control, you think upgrading the tires would make this better
It could….but that’s always gonna be somewhat of a problem with a 2wd machine….you can never pin it on loose ground and expect it to get traction
I love the video! that terrain looks like it would be a fun session with little to no breakage. If you don't mind a little positive criticism and I am not perfect myself and I do notice it on my videos also on my RC channel; i noticed that you pulse the trigger alot! Try using smoother flatter throttle inputs, I have noticed from personal experience that it improves handling quite a bit as well as makes a better smoother run. Its also slightly annoying hearing a constant pulse of the motor when it should be running at a steady pace... ok I said it and now I feel better lol. Where are you from man? my guess is Utah?
I can take positive criticism lol….yeah I usually don’t notice when I’m filming that I’m doing that so I need to remind myself to be smooth on the throttle rather than blipping….I’ve gotten so used to doing this kind of throttling with my gas powered machines that it’s transferred over to when I’m running electric ones too. Nowhere close to Utah actually…..Iowa
@@RCKnockout I was thinking to myself; I wonder if he had gas cars? Ha! OG RC Vet! Yeah that makes sense. Iowa is cool I never went there but I will someday.
@@McNewMotoTech yeah I probably am not supposed to blip the throttle with the gas powered either but it seems easier than trying to give it a gradual increased throttle….where about are you from?
How do you fix it when the tires come un glued also does that happen often
It happens fairly frequently……you just gotta re-glue it
Do you run a locked diff? If not what weight oil?
No…..I believe I’m running whatever comes stock in a Drag Slash
I don't even have food most of the month
I have the Traxxas slash brushless 2wd. I upgraded to 3s and added the drag bars on the rear to keep it down. Is it something else i could do it to keep it down? I really would like to take them off. To do some off roading as well .
You could try to weigh down the front end…but naturally the 2wd is gonna be very light on the front end and wheelie happy because of that
Ok, how do I do that?
Awesome cad thinking about buying one I was just wondering how long will it last in a charge cause I haven’t really been able to find an answer
Depends on the battery……probably 15-20 minutes
@@RCKnockout does traxxas sell battery’s that last longer ( I’m new to this)
@@Lachylego yeah they do sell larger packs
ok great thanks
@@Lachylego your welcome
Is it normal for my slash 2wd to have its back side much more slanted down?
No not really…..it should have a pretty even rake from the rear to the front
Honestly. It looks cooler when the sand is damp.
I prefer when it’s dry though….less mess on the machine
Is this a good cheap truck for a beginner? I don’t need the best truck I just need a reliable tough truck. I’ll crash it and make some crappy jumps at my house. I what want something cool to mess around in my yard and camp sites. Please let me know. Thank you.
Yeah this is probably one of the best starter rc cars out there
Do it hit top speed like the box say?
This one started out as a brushed xl5 model….it went 30+ with the high speed gearing right out of the box
What is better the slash 2wd or rustler 2wd BL5
I’ve never had experience with a Rustler
hey, did you change the steering servo in your cheapest slash project? if so, whats the name of it, I really want a more durable and cheap option for my car, since its really hard to bring spare parts for rcs in the country I live, tysm!!! Btw, nice video!
Thanks! It’s a cheap metal gear servo…..I think it’s a power HD
@@RCKnockout thank you!
@@RCKnockout for suitting in slash lcg you don't have to set the endpoints of servo?
@@matirodri you’re welcome
@@matirodri you might have to….depends on the servo
What gearing are you running
This was filmed quite a while ago….I’ve changed the setup multiple times since then….if I were to guess I’d say probably 21/90
Is this the stock motor or what kind of motor is it
It might have been the 3500kv Velineon motor…or it’s the 3200kv Castle 1412 motor….I can’t remember off the top of my head
so which is superior overall? 2WD or 4WD? as 2wd is easy to work on whereas 4wd is much better offroad. (looking to buy a 4wd slash soon)
If you can I would buy the ultimate because I have had a normal slash for 4 years and then I bought a ultimate a few months back and the ultimate is so much better for durability right out of the box.But if you can I would buy a traxxas xmax
4wd is better in most situations….but there’s more moving parts can break…..
I have a hard time driving 2wd so I just stick with 4wd
@@joseywilds3133 2wd does always test your skills, 4wd is better for just having fun without worrying much about slamming the throttle
@@dirtbikeman7253 well i got a 25,000 rupee budget (around 320$) but i have a brushless system currently in my slash 2wd. im planning to put the brushless system into any car that i buy, because ill buy a brushed one
Is that a Low CG?
Yeah
The electric seems much tougher then the nitro. Every time I take my slash nitro out it breaks within minutes.
Yeah it’s a tough machine!
Maybe because the engine is heavier, resulting on more force on the parts. My nitro buggy is pretty durable, I just need to use elots of locktight because they always back out lol
First!
How fast is it )
About 55mph
@@RCKnockout thanks bro ima try to see if I get one cheap on fb market place
@@MyRcGoSlow no problem man 👍😉
When I was younger I drove one with gas I didn’t like I mean it’s fast i told my self if I get one in future it’s gonna b electric I’m looking get one soon maybe b4 Christmas or after looking spend 200 $$
Yeah the Slash 2wd Xl5 would be the perfect rc for around $200
@@RCKnockoutI want some that kicks rocks lotta dirt I seen UA-cam vid some
Guy using granite picking up pure dirt soo sick and halling ass
@@Topnotch_jigs_ yeah a machine like that should fit the bill!
@@RCKnockout is 50 mph pretty good too ?
@@Topnotch_jigs_ yeah that’s fast! A xl5 model won’t go nearly that fast though…a vxl model will
You think that truck can hit 60+?
Yeah….maybe not with the body on though…it would most likely parachute
BEAUTIFUL. I found TWO abandoned 2WD Traxxas Slash a few weeks ago. they had not run for about 5 years but I got them back "on the road". Made a video of my kids having fun with them for UA-cam :) Check it out!
Oh wow! That’s super cool! Sounds like an Awesome find!
250$ 2wd truck better then 500$ 4x4 losi baja ray…pretty embarrassing if you ask me…I have them both so don’t need the losi fans opinion ☝️
The Losi 22S SC is only $180-$200 and is comparable to the Slash.
