kkppww91 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My slash is one of my best cars. Couldn't be happier with it. And I've only ran on stock motor and 2s so it's not the fastest at the moment but that will be taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.K Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Where's the best place to buy hobbywing combos? www.rcecho.com and www.funshobby.com Both based in Asia, but pretty reasonable turnaround times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkppww91 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Are the hobbywing motors any good or is it just the esc's that everyone recommends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I just think they are sooo over rated when you can get better for less. like what? aside from the firestorm what else is as durable and bashable out of the box? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few guys on RC short course run them, mixed reviews though with most complaining about lack or airflow over the motor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right tho, the stock driveshafts don't last long at all on 3s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen mad Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 My slash originally came from alex97 and after I fixed it and repaired it the first thing I did was upgrade it now it's by far the best rc I've ever bought it's so robust and takes such a pounding I will never sell mine on ever lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzaClio Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Is anyone using one of these?http://bit.ly/1hdZB2aIf it's poo can anyone reccomend a decent tray? I would say they are better than a Proline undertray. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Tried that top tray, temps went up. The lcg hoovers up less muck than the v1....relatively speaking of course. I swapped MIPS out for tekno....much lighter and a good design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped MIPS out for tekno....much lighter and a good design. Are the platinums metal HD rear driveshafts? I did look into the tekno, but they come with rear hubs & that seems a waste considering that the platinum comes with the ally upgrades. I think that's one I'll leave til it's needed.

Noj Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The tekno rear hubs allow for toe in settings from 0 to 4 degrees, handy if that is something you want to change... I ran 3 degrees and got more top end... Iirc, tekno UJs only fit their hubs, down to the design where the coupling pin is held in by the inner bearing... I ran MIPS on the traxxas ally hubs, which were subsequently eaten away by the MIP cups No idea what the platinum drive shafts are made of Jim, I know some owners run stock traxxas on the fronts, only beefing up the rears... Rcmonster do Slash driveshafts...least they used to...not cheap, mind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I like the xo1 drive shafts on the slash its like fitting buggatti veyron drive shafts to a vw the problem is the price is alot more than mips. Im not familiar with ue ill check them out I heard something about ue shocks too. Are they linked to team associated or is that ae its hard to keep up sometimes.

Bigjimknickers Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Found thesehttp://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-traxxas-steel-rear-universal-driveshafts-for-slash-stampede-4x4/rc-car-products/380913 Tbh I'll be going down the upgrade when broken route, I'll even keep the velineon & toast that before I upgrade to the wp sc8, I hovered over the kings headz alloy mount for a while & rpm arms but sod it, I'll consider it a stock durability test, especially that velineon system on 3s!

Noj Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Similar to MIPs....sort of... As MS don't have them in stock yet, unlikely anyone has yet fitted them...maybe Jim will be the first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.K Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) I'll prob give those a go when they come in, the 1/8 system on 3s is causing the stock driveshafts to wear incredibly quickly! Jim as a heads up, my Velineon motor was running at 150c on the stock gearing which Traxxas claims as being suitable for 3s. Don't hang about with that SC8/motor combo purchase Edited April 21, 2014 by James1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've found a full set of tekno shafts for a great price, I just can't bring myself to remove my alloy upgrades! Doh! What a dilemma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
