Cody G there is! Because 4x4 simply does not need that upgrade! And with bigger wheels on a 4x4, the center of gravity will become higher, and the truck will traction roll easily! Yw
I did the big wheel conversion to my 4x4 slash and it is a beast. Best upgrade I could have done. It’s a great brasher and I highly recommend doing it.
@@knifestuff2644 nope bone stock slash brushless 4x4 ran great. I did break axles alot from the torque but I was running plastic axles so that they would be the weak link
I did this 8 years ago with my vxl 2wd slash on 2s but used trenchers, the body rubbed a bit but I could do somersault to backflip in one jump thanks to the added rotational mass from the large heavy tyres
So since my slash already has that motor set up all I have to do is adjust my post and shocks n wheels n my son will have a monster slash!! Nice thanks traxxas
@@MArleyzZz MIP AXLE Sthey have change the part numbers just Google mip cvd for slash 4x4... They are the best in my opinion... Cost a lot but they are forever if you put them together with lock tight
Wow the gear set up and placement on the rc is very similar to the Kyosho Outrage and the motor placement too quite amazing how newer rc cars still have designs from older rc cars
Does anyone have steering problems with the bigger and wider tires? My problem is that if i steer right the left tire will rub on the arm and not letting the wheel turn freely.
@@bombpoprc2023 To start, make sure that you have the correct offset wheels for the front of the truck. You'll want to stick with the 2WD Rustler/Stampede electric front offset at all 4 corners. If you still have rubbing issues, check the alignment of your bell cranks as well as the position of your servo horn/saver with the steering trim in the neutral position. Lastly if all else fails, you can turn down the steering dual rate from the transmitter (if you have that adjustability) and this will reduce the total steering travel to prevent the rubbing.
Charles Haynes Due to the larger tires, it’s harder for the motor to turn them. A smaller pinion will give more torque, and keep the running temp down. If you were running on flat hard surfaces, you would probably be alright.
Can I though them on the ult if I don't run super hard I keep blowing wheels and can't get another set at this time. I can't bring myself to pay until a later time.
How is your antenna so small like 2 inches long? Traxxas says under no circumstance should the wire be pulled down & tucked away, did you do that or something else? if so hows your reception.. Thnx
RC Throwdown trust me I wouldn't cut the body for nothing I'm more worried about gears and whatever else I was told the Raptor wasn't a slash it was another model when I purchased it
RC Throwdown sorry still new a lot of this trying to get back into it I was told the frame was like a bandit when I got it I didn't know it was a slash until I watched a couple of videos I didn't know if I could do the same with it or not thanks for the reply have a good one
Absolutely. Make sure to use the electric front offset all around to clear the suspension and then to raise the body, Proline sells adjustable body mount kits for the Slash 4x4 to easily adjust the height. After those 2 swaps, just keep an eye on your motor temp and adjust the gearing as needed.

I've got a tqi with Bluetooth module that just shut off when I was using it and now won't turn on. The Bluetooth light works on the back of the transmitter when I press that button and the traxxas link app will even say it's connected but the green power light on the transmitter won't come on. The batteries in it when it happened were still decent and I've tried new batteries and still nothing. I've tried the standard reset using menu and set buttons but nothing there either. I've been told there's another way to reset it but I don't know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i dont even have a toy grade rc car, i had one before, but now i know each and everything about rc cars from seeing these videos and kevin talbot ,from the bumper to the rear axle ,i wish i had a slash lol
@@markoftheus none of that really matters. Especially with vxl system the gearing should be much closer to the VXL pede 2wd. Maybe drop 2 teeth on the pinion for the added weight that the longer wheelbase brings.
They are pretty much identical mechanically and electronically. The main difference is that the Slash 4x4 uses a longer chassis to give it the same wheelbase as a standard 2WD Slash. And the Stampede 4x4 has a shorter chassis to give it the same wheelbase as a standard 2WD Stampede. One other note: The Slash 4x4 XL-5 and VXL come standard with an HCG chassis but if you get the platinum or ultimate they come stock with an LCG chassis.
Some please tell me about the axels I went to my local Hobbytown store and he said that I need a different axel what do I do. I’m trying to build the monster slash
You don't necessarily need different axles. The ones that come on the truck will work perfectly fine for a monster slash conversion. The only reason why someone would say to get new axles is because the bigger and heavier tires can make the stock axles more prone to breakage, especially with brushless power. But otherwise, if the stock axles haven't given you any trouble you can run with them no problem.
mshane86 I’m sure many have gone that same route and felt the same way, but I look at it as a growth process. I tried starting in the hobby with a 1/14 scale 4x4 Desert Truck, and nearly quit because of frequent problems and difficulties making repairs. Getting a basic brushed Traxxas 2WD renewed my enjoyment of the hobby, and after that I continued to progress.
I personally love the slash 4x4 i dont really us eit to much anymore but i need to start using it because it was a fun little car it has takin a beating but traxxas makes some good stuff and i will last u i promise
Very late responding to this, but if you haven't already, buy a charger that has the balance charge option. It will slowly charge each cell to the same voltage, somewhere in the middle of fully charged and almost dead. You can leave them like that for almost a year and they will be fine, also temperature where they are being kept is important too. I live in the desert so keeping them inside during summer is extremely important, extreme cold is also just as bad. This seems like common sense, and it is, but I've known some people that just leave things like this out in their garage, which is why I brought it up 😆
I did this but my brushless system was too powerful and stripped the plastic wheel hex in the rim. Did it to all 4 after a while. Traxxas please be first to make steel rims for bashers with tons of power!!!!!!
Matthew Stone word. I tried jb weld and it held for a bit but I bash hard and the weld started to crack..... I forgot to mention I locked the diff , so might be why there is so much more power to the wheels... Who knows
I love how you can do so much with the slash
I just put massive 2.8 badlands on my vxl slash and a black 2013 ram 1500 body and it looks sick!!

You guys should sell all the parts needed in one box at hobby shops this is sick!
I feel like they use brand new vehicles when they make tutorials, they are always SUPER CLEAN
GrayAntitoPlayz yeah
Why wouldn’t they
They do.
Use Simple Green spray to clean your car. Just spray. Let sit for few minutes. Then rinse.
In my opinion because they are the owners of the company it seems like that that’s probably from the slash but I am with you
Traxxas is just AWESOME, I have an X-Maxx and this vid makes me want another slash !!! Such a great truck keep on keepin Traxxas 👍👍
Slash is my favorite. I have three and will definitely get more!
U can also use proline body mounts if u don’t want to cut your body shell
whats the part# for those mounts?
You guys should do a 4x4 monster slash

S&S Productions I tried doing that but I got bad wheel rub on the frame... I think I need wheel spacers

the construction yard. they have like white power sand and dirt and it covers your car in it and makes a hell lotta dust and smokes. sooo damn lit
Great video. Why use different tyres for the front and rear? What if I have a 4x4 slash, do I need also different tyres? Cheers
I have a Traxxas stampede and now want a slash too
Why didn't you use the larger offset wheels in the rear as well? Looks weird with the rear being less wide
👊😎. Nice ride ' put together a video with something 4 wheel drive and a little bigger.
That's what we all want to see 😀 For sure.
So since my slash already has that motor set up all I have to do is adjust my post and shocks n wheels n my son will have a monster slash!! Nice thanks traxxas
I'd recommend going with pro-line body mounts instead of the traxxas ones. The pro-line ones have much more adjustability.
With that upgrade does it make the truck faster?
Allot faster
How tall are these tires?
Thank you so much for making this video I wanna go do it to my bone stock 2wd slash!!😀
I did this a long time ago. If you are going to run 3S you will need to upgrade the axels. The plastic ones wont last 1 battery.
Adventures With Mike ok thanks for the info

Wow the gear set up and placement on the rc is very similar to the Kyosho Outrage and the motor placement too quite amazing how newer rc cars still have designs from older rc cars
Franklin Ayres the slash is over a decade old so it's not exactly new itself.
Andrew Sundbeck I know that but the kyosho outrage I have is around 20 ish years old give or take a few years so 10 years between the 2 being made
Andrew Sundbeck sure seems like the older ones were built right huh?
I'm thinking about doing this with the OC day brushless motor they're on that during the summer cuz I have to stay stock for when I race in the winter
I've done it yes it works great video.
Did you have axel problems as one poster mentioned?

I recommend the proline trenchers....
I also like the proline badlands MX28
The one thing they forgot to mention is 32 pitch spur and pinion Youre gonna want that as well bigger tires need bigger teethed gears
Wait so all i need are big tires and rasise the thing up?i already have brushless
Hey traxxas!
Can you make the old gear mesh system for the 4tec 2.0?
Because its hard to set the gear mesh with bigger motors!
Matthew Stone but its still harder than the old system. I really liked the old system
I think I would bring it to one of my dads late model tracks
I wish you guys would make a bigger bandit.
Do you have to have to change pinion gears if you just change to bigger tires
Charles Haynes Due to the larger tires, it’s harder for the motor to turn them. A smaller pinion will give more torque, and keep the running temp down. If you were running on flat hard surfaces, you would probably be alright.

Hey is this possible to use it with the ford raptor one?
Yes. It's the same truck.
Why did you tighten your pinion gear set screw so tight? That’s how you strip it trying to get it back out
So when you put bigger tires do you have to change the motor how you did
You don't have to swap out the motor system. You can put the big tires on with the stock motor. Just be sure to watch your temps.

Schroeder i have a vxl so it’s brushless
Can the same thing be done to the nitro slash
Yes. Just make sure to watch your engine temp.
What size of pinning and spur gear should I use with 3650kv motor and 2.5 wheels

Hi, i ordered a set of 4 traxxas revo wheels for my slash cause i want to do a monster build, will they fit the slash?
They can. You’ll need to seriously modify the body or use a different body and get the 17mm wheel hub adapters.
Personally I recommend some sort of hub extensions anyway as they make the stance meaner and improve steering clearance.

Why the use of such a smaller pinion? That’s lower than even the brushed pede 2wd.
The Slash is bigger and heavier than the Stampede and also has extra toe-in for the rear wheels.
@@markoftheus none of that really matters. Especially with vxl system the gearing should be much closer to the VXL pede 2wd. Maybe drop 2 teeth on the pinion for the added weight that the longer wheelbase brings.
