awesome idea using the wingmount looks liek you dont even need the other mounts but jsut the wing mounts....

very cool

have you tried it with regular buggy tires and noted weather or not the huge parasail of a body made a difference jumping or any in the handling?

Rootar, I took it out last weekend for a test run. The project wasn't finished (no bumpers, nerf bars, shocks weren't setup, gearing, etc) but I wanted to get a general feel for how it handled so I could make adjustments later. So I only ran one pack thru it. The track has been updated recently and they took out all the big jumps, so it was hard to tell how it handled in the air. But it was very fast and the two or three Slayers on the track didn't stand a chance.

Well I had some extra time today because of the Holiday so I worked on the rear bumper. I used a similar setup as the front, I made an extended skid plate and attached a Slayer rear bumper. I then bolted the skid to the chassis, made a few minor adjustments and that was basically it.


Skid/bumper test fitted to chassis.


Extended skid with stock Slayer bumper bolted to it.

Ok another update, paint dry so I got the body finished and mounted. Just need to work on the nerf bars and fine tune the suspension.

Slash/Slayer bumpers fit really well.
