mayzie12 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Who needs a centre diff. Just whack the nut on the slipper up uber tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesk Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Indeed, CD may be my next addition to the Slash In my experience the stock centre diff doesn't last very long on 3s, fine on 2s and transforms the turn in/handling, but if you aspire to use it with a decent combo, then you really need the FLM diff casing...

J.K Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's been a long time since I updated this thread - and plenty of subtle changes have occurred! The Slash has been used quite a bit over the last year or so and how many breakages have I had in that time?......just one. I bent a rear Tenno driveshaft and damaged the hub after sliding sideways into a kerb - they're obviously not designed to take a lot of lateral force! The 1/8 scale combo is holding up well - still running the Tenshock X802 2400kv 6pole with HW WP-SC8 and the stock Traxxas servo - I have no need to change this.I have a new shell!This is the Proline Raptor and requires Proline's body mount kit. this makes the new shell rather pricey - shell, body mount kit, paint & mask came to just shy of £100! I still use the stock SC shell for hard bashing, don't want to trash this one too soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Ah, another small mod. I started having issues with the ESC mount which come with the Hobbywing ESC. I found that over the last 6months or so the mounting holes became rather brittle and began to break, causing the ESC to start moving around. I struggled to find a replacement but came across the STRC carbon plate on Amain. I LIKE CARBON BITS....I treated the edges with superglue then bolted it to the Slash. It's a really nice fit and although you can't see it once the ESC is stuck to the top, it will almost certainly outlive the car IMO: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeecup Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Good thread, lots of useful info. Quick question, did you ever start running the centre diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Good thread, lots of useful info. Quick question, did you ever start running the centre diff?Thanks chap!Nope I never did run the centre diff. The 1/8 motors have a 5mm shaft instead of the standard 3mm - this meant I could upgrade to mod1 pinion and spur. This in turn allows an opportunity to upgrade the slipper clutch to that from the Revo - it's a lot more durable and can handle the heat better. This has been so reliable that I dropped it in a couple of years back and have since forgotten about it. So never bothered with the diff!
