After months of pondering and wondering if I should get one for a variety of reasons, I pulled the trigger on Friday. I'm really hoping a new track is gonna get built in town and we get organized enough to do some SC racing this spring. Immediately after taking it out of the box, I knew I wasn't gonna do much bashing with this thing in comparison to my Flux.
Its been 4 years since I owned a Traxxas model since my Revo 3.3 and im fairly impressed with the build quality of the Slash 4x4 after taking it apart mostly last night to check things over. I'm not gonna drive it until I get my outerwears cover for the chassis. I"m not totally sold on Traxxas products yet or SC in general, but at least i'm giving both an honest shot.
Not gonna do much for mods until I make sure I wanna keep this thing. I refilled the shocks with 50wt oil and stiffened the springs for general snow bashing/racing. I"ll throw in the center diff and redo the diff fluids if RC racing picks up here. Thing zips around pretty good on just 7cell in the living room, I'm anxious to see 2S and 3S though I was surprised to see the instructions for the center diff stated 3S is not recommended for it as it may seize and fail due to the stress. Hmm.....
