It started as a slash chassis but it grew into a Slash with shiny extended arm, aluminum shock towers, TRX big bores, an Integy aluminum transmission case. Normal growth for and RC but could or would the pressure of going brushless take it's toll on his young RCs mental stability. Shaken already to the near edge of a nervous break down. He has repeatable been forced to watch other RCs be dismanteld and to not return to their previous form. Would all of this make him fear the open space of outside. Would it drive this impressionable young RC into the closet were it secretly would want to be a Shelf Queen.

Prelude

Well for the lack of a better forum section at RCM

I am facing my fears and putting the Slash Chassis build here in brushless. Because it is brushless and this is where BrianG put his.

Prelude II

I bought the chassis back when parts starting becoming available for the slash. Plan was to slowly put one together from it's parts and the spare parts I had from the rustlers and stampedes that have come and gone in my life.

Fear of being fogotten

The build wasn't speeding along for sure. It started to be more like the puzzle that was started with good intentions, but then something distracted me, which is easly done. Like the puzzle I would stop and check out a couple peice to see it they fit then would move on to what I was doing until I got distracted. I gave up on the random stops at the LHS to see what parts they had for the slash. Wasn't producing any that I needed and I always seemed to walk out with a new set of tires. So I went ahead and ordered tha parts I was wainting on.

Braces

The chassis braces. Yeah, that's what I had been waiting on for 3 months. The only different between those and the stampedes seems to be the bellcrank post. Could have probably made some from the right size bolt and proceded but I wasn't in a real hurry to get it running. Until the sun started going down earlier and the smell of burning leave were in the air. So project Slash chassis was moved to the front burner. Where it sat for another month. The smell of the leaves burning were gone and the sun hardly ever shines. It now almost winter and running the RC outside can be painful at times. Yep, it time to get on it now. Here's some pictures of the yound chassis coming of age. Thus the title.....

What am I?

Got it setup to run the sidewinder on 3s with a Fiegoa 12s (wish they would of picked a name that was easier for me to remember how to spell) with the Jato spur 58/14. Got a HiTech 5645MG for the servo and using a DSM receiver and TX. Big bores on all fours. Fours? Had to make it rhyme. With some of those oh soooo baaad Horsies hiding them. Have dual rate springs on the back and just some stock spring on the front. The arms are the extended FLM arms for a pede/ruster. Using the FLM extended CVDs. The shock towers are from STRR or STRC. The tranny case and bulkhead are from Integy. Misbehavens wheely bar for safety reasons.

Too be continued...........
