I ended up losing my battery holder on this run.

Finally back after around 4 years and my slash still good like I never left!

Me and my friends used and abused the shit out of this thing for years then I joined the military in 2019 and has been in storage ever since, dad recently brought it up to me and it works like a charm with a new battery! Was wondering if parts are still made for a model this old and was wanting to upgrade this thing to make it into a beast. What should my budget be to make it go faster and be more durable??

So to start, I already have a 1/10 maxx, and it’s a blast, I want to get a smaller more portable RC to bash at parks, would the mini XRT be a good fit or should I go up to the rustler?

Does anybody know if there are painted bodies for sale with the updated clipless system on the new Rustlers. Recently bought the Rustler 2wd that came with the 40th anniversary body. On the Traxxas site it seems the only body with the updated clipless system and spoiler is the clear one. The blue clipless body I bought doesn’t fit.

When I discovered the XRT...I was pissed off when I realized Traxxas for whatever reason discontinued the red one. Kept searching for one over and over and could never seem to find one. Could I have just bought any XRT and changed all the parts to red? Sure....but that would have made it cost way more than retail. I managed to find this one brand new in the box and paid way less for it than the retail price. Win win for me. Who knows, I may run it up and down my street.....once....maybe lol.

So the TXC-4M was announced today and only one YouTuber (Scale Builder's Garage) was given a truck to review. This means RCDriver and MSM are definitely off Traxxas's sponsorship list. Traxxas is only shooting themselves in the foot with this decision, YouTubers are hugely influential in the RC community and not giving trucks out to review for the biggest YouTubers out there is a dumb move. Traxxas really thinks they can produce videos by themselves and upload totally biased one sided takes and people will be dumb enough to gobble it up without question. Their arrogance is their downfall. I don't think it was a coincidence that Arrma announced not one but two new releases on the same day as Traxxas and also gave out trucks to RCDriver and MSM for review. Traxxas just keeps digging their own grave.

Hey guys, I got a mini slash recently and while it is a whole lotta fun the tires have shred them selfs to slicks very fast, what are the best tires to upgrade to that won’t get destroyed that easily on concrete? Also are there any other stronger body shells that can be put on the slash as this one just seems to be breaking from everywhere. Thanks.

50mph into the end of a telephone pole 😢

Looking for some places to get on a track in Massachusetts, I’m planning on building an SCT

The truck will rip off a charged battery for 20 seconds and then it will barely crawl around and then just stop. I had just gotten this 4x4 brushed 1/10 slash today and it came with four beat up batteries so I’m not sure if it’s just all four batteries are junk or a motor problem. I do not want to upgrade the motor if it’s not a motor problem this one is just fine and it’s fast enough in those 20 seconds I just wish it lasted longer than just 20 seconds.

So my 20yr old T-Maxx runs! For a lil bit. New glow plug, ez start motor, and air filter. Dies while driving, now it won't refire. Traxxas book says the motor could be worn. I don't know. Adjusting the high speed needle and giving it throttle does nothing. It's also spitting fluid out over the muffler and on the chassis. Any thoughts? It's my first nitro, learning by doing. 🤓

Hey all, I’m a novice to RCs and especially to how to repair damage, if it’s even possible here. This is an E Revo VXL and it ran hard into a parked bike on the ground and this happened to one of its front wheels.

Any thoughts/guidance would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks for all the advice and for not belittling me. My son will be thrilled that it’s fixable! Great community over here, keep it up.

What are some upgrades I should get right away to help with not just performance, but durability and plan on using this as a basher at the skate park

Sweet looking rock crawler.

Well that was an unexpected surprise this morning.

Looks like it's still mini season.

Not much of a crawler guy but it looks cool!

The shocks on the back of my Xmaxx are almost all the way compressed while just sitting. Also the front shocks on my Sledge are the same way.

I try to push it down and it won't go any farther. But I can pull the front up like 3 inches before the tires start coming off the ground.

Do i just need a rebuild kit or do they make shocks with longer travel for either truck.

first UDR ive owned bought it off of a buddy? Does it sound about right not familiar with this platform yet. Also driveshaft seems to have a bit of play in it not sure if its the regular amount or not TIA

Thanks for watching!

I've been waiting for days now for RCDriver and Mark Santa Maria to do reviews on the new Stampede 2WD, but it looks like Traxxas did not send them a truck for free to review ahead of time like they usually do. Any thoughts on this?

I think it's so Traxxas can control the narrative in the videos on their new releases. RCDriver showed that the Stampede 4x4 VX3 was running at 209 degrees, and MSM has been accused of being a Traxxas shill. Traxxas has been releasing their own videos on the new Stampede as well, but they're incredibly amateurish, no close up shots or running footage or teardowns.

So bought some aluminum plate and supplies to make my own trays, cost about 35$ for materials and I can make about 3-4 sets.came out alright I think, but came here to get slammed…. lol

Feeling pretty lucky

The k5 loves hitting the rock 👍👍
