Slash 4x4 Thread

[phatmonk]

Got my Slash 4x4 via brown pants man.So I have a extra Neu motor its a 1515/1.5D/FB.Highest KV motor I have its 2700KV.The ESC is for sale allready and I have a MMM plus TRX hold down I am lookin at.Gonna start with 3s?What do you guys think.The Slash 4x4 has been realy picked to death on some other forums.We shall seeWhere can I get the receiver box that is used with the MMM combo.It is mounted at the front of the chassis.

Traxxas shows a stampede rx box being used with the mmm on their site.

[Bondonutz]

You have to change the RX box when installing a M.M.M. ESC ???

Guess I better order one then, My 4X4 Slash will not be shipping till the 11th.

PhatMonk, that combo sounds great. I'm doing almost the same thing, Castle combo w/2650 w/3s 40C Zippys.

Yea you gotta love those Zippies/Turnegy lipos

I have raced with the out of box 4x4 and it holds up great. A 4x4 took first in the SC open class last race, wasn't me but nice to know. No one is putting anything huge in it yet but I might try it with the 2650 and the mmm since my caster is dead, next race. Might need some better shocks then. I have seen many on the Traxxas forum using losi 8ight shocks with great results. Might have to pick up a set of those as well.

ive ran mine hard with no breaks yet. When i say hard i dont mean pushing the engine and drivetrain.. i mean launching, flipping, rolling, etc. it is one tough truck.

the body is pretty beat but other than that its all good!

and ya maybe some new shocks would do it some good.

Are you running the stock ESC?Will the TRX ESC run a Neu 1512?I know the Neu is a 4 pole motor and the TRX motor is 2 pole?

I've had a Medusa 4800kv 4-pole hooked up and it would pulse and surge with no load. Medusa 650kv 4-pole ran smooth with no load. Maybe I was hitting a rev limit with the 4800?

6s ? Wow, I'll bet that thing is crazy fun to drive !

[bruce750i]

Nice Rhinos Ravin!

I have been testing a 6s setup as well, with a 50mm 17??kv motor and 6s 1550. It puts me around the stock vxl rpms.

Bondonutz, the 1509 is great, plenty of power and it runs ice cold. Yeah it is probably overpowered for the track and I can't officially race it using 3s but it sure is fun. I have been running powerful 1/8's for a while so I guess I am used to it, so no problem controlling the Slash. For racing I use my Jammin SCRT10 Novak HV 4.5 on 2s, it's much slower but it handles a little better than the Slash so it evens out.

Very Nice !
I'm not 100% yet but I'm either going w/the 2650 Castle or scoop a Tekno Neu 1512 somthing ?

[phatmonk]

I think the Neu 1512 1.5D would be perfect.Especialy since they are on sale on the Neu website.Run it on 4s and look out.Overkill yes.Wont ever run hot though.
