Slash 4x4 Thread

[reno911]

Well I had an anti clamatic break yesterday. I was launching the Slash off a home made ramp for probably 20 minutes straight. I got it upwards of 20 feet skyward, nothing broken. So thinking the LVC was coming up, I decided to take a few WOT runs, then just as I was going to call it a day, thinking the LVC was just around the bend. It flipped into a barrel roll on a hard brake/turn and the right rear carrier broke. I felt so ashamed. Nothing broke all that time while air bound, nothing at all when it noise dived into the ground or flipped frontward, backward, and sideways. The achelles was that damn last little flip at braking speed onto its lid. What nonsense.



J/K :) it was a long and meaningful bash, would of made Nick proud. RPM carriers here I come.

I just completely FLMed my DT on my slash 4x4 equipped with a MMM and 2650 on 4s, FLM motor mount kit with diff and alu diff cups all the way out to the axles also.
Other than straight torquing the heads off the FLM axles and then also experiencing axle contact on the front carriers that leads to retainer & pin loss everything held up great after grinding a lil aluminum off the front carriers.

Hope FLM has something beefier planned for the axle heads on there part # FLM-25515
If not I may be calling daily for replacements.
Only got 1 full run in and it was in a flat grassy field haven't even really begun to bash it.
