RCMonkee Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Any pics of the under tray fitted ? Can only find these but its nice and tall to help keep the dirt out with the SCT shell on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBZN1 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 That looks like it will stop a lot of crud getting in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Personally, I found it hoovers up leaves etc and stores them nicely in the tub, more so with snow; had to stop and shake out the detritus every few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Its saying between 7-14 days, 2 days down already! Can't wait. Are these better than stock? Vids I saw looked like stocks where struggling http://www.modelsport.co.uk/nanda-racing-1-10-short-course-blocks-black-chrome-pair-/rc-car-products/376166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 im running the platinum and i find it fine out of the box, i would hold on to your money until you run/ break it the lcg chassis is great, when/if the esc does pack up im going down the noj recommended route 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Definitely better than stock, the stockers are useless off road but actually not too bad on Tarmac. I've got the Badlands SC on mine which totally transform the truck. I assume the Nanda blocks are just as effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Nanda blocks work as well as badlands, once the 17mm adapters are fitted. One caveat, they are slightly larger than stock sc rims, so check temps when you fit them, a one tooth drop on the pinny MAY be required.... The lcg, for me, was a much preferred chassis...losing some ride height for better handling worked well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Those Nandas are the new 12mm short course version Noj, so he won't need adapters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Not in stock so I'll wear out the stockers first I think, more important to get a sr301 rx really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkppww91 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'll have to keep up with this thread. I'm wanting to upgrade my slash 4x4 to run 3s. Not fully clued up on the best combos out there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'll have to keep up with this thread. I'm wanting to upgrade my slash 4x4 to run 3s. Not fully clued up on the best combos out there though.read the first page, pretty much every one agrees on the hobbywing sc8 wp, as for motor, the choice seems to be 2650 kv for 3s/4s & 3500kv for 2/3s.

kkppww91 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Is the motor hobbywing aswell? I'm running a dusty motors cover, so will temps still be cool enough on 3s with that on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'd recommend the hobbywing motors I've got two, one in my lads savage xs & one in my savage hp, as with all mods it's always best to check temps you can never be sure.

Bigjimknickers Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Back to the velineon system, would a 5000mah 3s 20c lipo be ok? All my others are 5000mah 40c but this one is my brothers, so if it can use it I'll buy it off him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 why do people run 1/8 combos in a 1/10 slash and throw so much money at them? they are nice to work on but need so many upgrades to make them any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see any stock models nowadays, the first thing everybody does is upgrade parts even if its just to personalise it and make it their own. With the Slash, it'll keep on running without upgrades as long as you're happy with running the stock Nimh or going 2s max. Granted, if you want to run 3s plus you'll have to swap out the Velineon system for longevity but that's true for any Traxxas model that runs that system.
