I have the Slash 4x4 Ultimate, and that also liked to parachute at high speed as well. I used drywall tape and construction adhesive to reinforce the body, and it gave it just enough weight to keep it planted, and it is actually more stable from having the extra bit of weight. It really changed the entire driving experience of the truck.
Only complaint i have on the current Slashes is they all use the same black and silver wheels and still no clipless battery hold down! The Slash XL5 is probably the best first RC car. Drives well, not too slow, comes with charger and a no worry NiMh. The BL-2S 2wd is the best one in general IMO VXL 2wd is just ridiculous.
The only belated tire and rim you can put on this truck to keep it from flipping is the Big Daddy wide showtime + tire and rim.i have it on my 2wd drive slash with the racing transmission runs like butter
I'd love to see a comparison of this vs the Arrma Fury 223S! Both are 2wd SCTs, both hit 50mph out of the box on stock gearing, both are 2S and 3S capable, both come with a gyro built in, and both have clipless bodies. 2wd SCT has quickly become one of my favorite classes to play with.
My son has one of these we love it.. but right on the body he goes through alot of them the back finders crack real easy. I want to get the 4x4 one next
I had the version that came out around 2012 or so and you're right. I did not survive the speed from it and broke the A arms immediately lol. Great truck though. I might just get this one. Oh yeah could not keep the tires glued to it either lol
This was one of my first Rc about 12 years ago and I bought it used. I remember it didn’t drive the best and was always flipping. I would get rid of this chassis and stay with the LCG chassis they offer.
My 4wd track build had the same shocks before I got the GTRs for it. The first time I raced it at Indy, a cap came unscrewed every single heat I was in, quals included. It was a different one every time, so it’s not like there’s one broken or damaged one. Those things are maybe the product I hate the most. The truck’s great though.
Bought my son one last year for Christmas. Wanted one so bad I bought the cheapest one off marketplace with the BL2S and swapped in a 272r transmission and a spektrum esc/motor for less than what his costed and im smoking him. 😅
Mark, Love your videos. Do you think Tekno might release a Stadium truck for us old schoolers? The rc10gt is the truck that got my R/C addiction started. I would be the first in line for it that's for sure
Mark! If you see this can you answer a question about the 272r transmission? Do the A-Arms have a slight tilt back from level? I know the drag slash does this but i wasnt sure if they all do. I ordered one off a rustler in case there were different varients (on road/off road), but i was sent one from a drag slash anyway.
Bro. The amount of “new” slashes and cars that are 20 year old platforms is so annoying. This is why traxxas is getting crushed as of late. Release new stuff that isn’t just a body and a slight revision for gods sake
I prefer two wheel drive I learnt to drive 2wd fifth scale gas an FG Marder, then onto the HPI Baja5B which I raced along with my FG I did not get a 1/10th I went to an MCD Baja Chevy 1000 4X4 along with a TRAXXAS Monster gas buggy, a short lived run, a shame they never got into this scale as it had great potential, I have one, a basket case would love a good condition one. I have looked at one of these but seem a bit expensive to me I can get some pretty good upgrades at that price.
question those underglow leds can they be installed in the slash 4x4 ???? asking for an ongoing project damn that slash took off 👍🏻 my project slash 4x4 bl-2s extreme build is bit by bit coming together I did put an led RGB penal with effects Onder the body cap it's freaking awesome 😂
Im suprised Traxxas hasnt released a Monster Slash That is the best upgrade you can do to a 2wd Slash and Mark Im dissapointed that you didnt tow it with the matching Raptor 😂
Some are going to complain that Traxxas is just rehashing their current/old stuff. I for one appreciate being able to use the parts I have collected( read hoarded ) over the years on current as well as older models.
To those crying about how traxxas never releases anything new, just reinvents the same old models, guess what? The other companies do the same thing! Traxxas released the new look Jato and the mudboss/modified this year. Yes they’ve re-released current models with upgrades etc. But so has Arrma. Arrma released updated versions of SO many of their cars this year. The kraton, notorious, senton, vorteks, outcast, typhon, etc. Not new models, current models. But the traxxas haters won’t acknowledge that. 😂 Although I may be mistaken, I can’t think of any actual NEW cars Arrma released this year other than the fury, which technically they had many years ago. And releasing miniature models of existing cars doesn’t count (Mojave, typhon, granite). I love both of these companies and have several models of each brand and love every single one of them for different reasons. Spending your life complaining about stuff like this is a complete waste of time and energy. Great video, Mark! Keep the videos coming, brother! 👊🏼
no arrma at least puts substantial upgrades for their "re releases" that actually make a difference unlike just putting a clipless conversion body or hd suspension parts
I’ve been 98 mph with my 2wd slash bud with a buggy body lol H and w racing channel but my dads rc channel has been 132 mph with the slash body 2 w d now that’s more impressive than 224 mph buy Mr Mcoy in a limitless
The original vxl slashes 4x4 were trash. Couldn't handle the power system they came with. Snapped yokes every time I took it out. Turned me into an arrma fan boy..
LOL The audacity to try and tear down a platform that's been tried and true for nearly 2 decades. I'm still rockin my o.g 2010 Ultimate that's annihilated everything in it's path including Arrma! Taken out 3s, 4s, even a 6s Senton.. and I smoked it on 3s with a stock Velineon💪🏻😎 Run along now lil fanboy 🤣

5:39 I felt that body scratch flip from Cali 😭
Awesome I think the slash is one of the best platforms you can do a lot of different things with it . Grate video 👌👍
The Slash is maybe the least underrated RC car I can think of other than the XMAXX
Right. More like "SUPER CLICKBAIT!"
Very cool VXL slash is awesome, especially the Fox edition!!!!
Only complaint i have on the current Slashes is they all use the same black and silver wheels and still no clipless battery hold down!
The Slash XL5 is probably the best first RC car. Drives well, not too slow, comes with charger and a no worry NiMh.

Looks so good Mark, i put my 2.2's off my k5 high trail and it is a blast. Stay safe and have a great weekend.
I have three traxxas vehicles (2 slashes and a 2020 snap-on C8 corvette). Yeah, sure, I can't use them for a while, but I'm happy with them.
I love when they put bed tire racks on these things 👍🏻
Mark always has the cool stuff!

It's Chrismas everyday! oops wrong channel.
Taxxas need to start having pre mounted belated tires especially for this truck it probably pull more sells
9:45 is why you need to Monster Slash it
It gets stuck in grass
The slash is a great car but traxxas really needs to do inner fenders to help keep rocks and stuff from building up inside.
My son has one of these we love it.. but right on the body he goes through alot of them the back finders crack real easy.
I want to get the 4x4 one next

tis truly is the season for new car days this month 😂

That spot would be epic with a rally car.

Grea Video. Definately A Great Truck. Id Get One Of These But I Gotta Get A Bigfoot. You Should Compare This 2wd To The 4wd in a race.

Don't buy it then.
Arrma is just killing Trashix last few yrs
@@Tad3rDefinitely won't... Just trying to save a few from a bad influence
It sells well... They wouldn't update it if it wouldn't sell! Nothing wrong with producing it for ever
Yeah I agree, the same old mundane platforms with new bodies. Arrma does the same thing but at least the arrma cars drive well.
I prefer two wheel drive I learnt to drive 2wd fifth scale gas an FG Marder, then onto the HPI Baja5B which I raced along with my FG I did not get a 1/10th I went to an MCD Baja Chevy 1000 4X4 along with a TRAXXAS Monster gas buggy, a short lived run, a shame they never got into this scale as it had great potential, I have one, a basket case would love a good condition one.

Does anyone have any tips on where to cut holes in the body to prevent parachuting while also maintaining the body's strength and looks
I need to see a Tank Review from you !
question those underglow leds can they be installed in the slash 4x4 ???? asking for an ongoing project
damn that slash took off 👍🏻
my project slash 4x4 bl-2s extreme build is bit by bit coming together I did put an led RGB penal with effects Onder the body cap it's freaking awesome 😂
Could I put the under carriage light on my Traxxas Supra?
Will it break itself everytime I take it out like mine did?
Im suprised Traxxas hasnt released a Monster Slash
That is the best upgrade you can do to a 2wd Slash and Mark Im dissapointed that you didnt tow it with the matching Raptor 😂
It would be cool if traxxas make an update for the summit.
The surprise
Pixeled box & we get 3k subs , we will set tx to 100%, set, stop,read lol & a Merry Christmas to the MSM Family. 👍🏻
48mph out the box
Some are going to complain that Traxxas is just rehashing their current/old stuff. I for one appreciate being able to use the parts I have collected( read hoarded ) over the years on current as well as older models.
And like there is nothing wrong with producing a model for a very long time.
@@gordoncaudill7048 agreed arrma does the same stuff.
