nice truck! sand.... eeeeesh. looks like your slash could really benefit from this that i just found today - although temps would be highly suspect.

Looks great, action shots needed !
Is pic number 1 and 2 the same ?

Who makes the liner that covers the inside if the chassis ?

Yeah, I fixed the pics, so they are all different now. You'll have to cut me some slack, I'm connecting via a cellular card from the middle of the sand dunes. There's no 3G out here, so this is like a 32k connection or something :) I just got some videos with the camera on a tripod, but no way I'm uploading those on this connection.

That is a JConcepts chassis cover. I have that on my Slash actually. Mine is clear, so you can't see it in the pics. On my last pack, I made a bunch of speed runs. It got pretty hot, much hotter than I would like. I'm sure the cover is to blame for a lot of that. I know the extra drag of the sand puts a lot of load on things, but running 3S on this setup (MMM/2650) shouldn't be an issue.

Hey guys beware of the aftermarket motormounts that are cut out around the driveshaft bearing.I got a small rock stuck between the spurgear and rear bulkhead it wore a small grove in the spur.Fortunatly I heard it right away but the gear should be replaced.I am gonna take the mount off a fill that opening with epoxy resin.

What do you guys think of the proline undertrey? I think it would help a ton with keeping build up off the chassi and help keep stuff from getting in the front shaft hole.. Not sure if it will last long on the rear underside tho..
Whats your thoughts?

He said " shaft hole"

nitrostarter · 03.22.2010, 08:47 AM

It should would be a good thing if your read shaft hole was being penetrated with debris. hopefully no sticks for sure.

Are you guys saying you like it or don't like it?

Not my idea but worth a glance. Made from bicycle tubing.

my PE is going up for sale. i had it out the other day (only for the 2nd time) and i'm just too used to the power and handling of my xt8. this seems like a toy, lol.

don't get me wrong, it's fun - just not fun enough to be worthy of keeping a 2nd truck.

Just got my 4x4.... wow, so much fun, I never thought much about waterproof stuff but I've literally never had so much fun being able to run through massive bogs and deep mud.

Love it and really enjoy how it jumps and handles. :D

This weekend, I took my last Glamis (sand dunes) trip for the season and took the Slash 4x4 out with me. It ran great and I was happy with the performance. We took a bunch of photos...

Oops!

kazuaki · 04.19.2010, 02:06 AM

Here's an awesome photo sequence from a BIG jump...

Nick · 04.19.2010, 04:50 AM

Amazing photos!

What preparation and maintenance do you do when running in sand? I imagine it can get quite messy!
