Traxxas Slash 2WD Gets an EPIC Brushless POWER UPGRADE!!

This is my Traxxas Slash 2WD!

*Want to WIN an RC Car for as little as $1/£1?*

Out the box this thing offers great performance but it does lack a little in the performance department!

It was craving a brushless upgrade and today we test out my newly converted Traxxas Slash 2WD to see if it makes any difference over the stock system!

The Slash 2WD being so light really doesn't need some crazy over powered brushless system this simple 60a Hobbywing MAX10 paired with a cheap surpass motor is more than enough for 2s and 3s fun on the Traxxas High Speed Gearing.

Whether you like the 2wd slash or not, you have to admit it is an extremely versatile platform. People have turned it into basically every kind of vehicle imaginable. Ive had a base 2wd for 10 years and its now a monster beetle on an lcg chassis with rustler arms for width. Its still my favorite of my cars for bashing.

[davidlewis]

Yes, years ago, my first rc vehicle . I bashed the hell out of it, then up-graded it and bashed it some more but it's still here with me today in LCG form! Appreciate the video!!

I have an 1/8th brushless in a highly modified traxxas magnum transmission I moded myself. Steel halfshafts, aluminum diff. Extreme power on demand.

Good call Ricky, I did the same with the rustler xl5 3000 kv 3s 32 mph and wheelie on demand much better but not crazy. Thanks for your upload mate 👍🙏🐈

i bought my 1st rc exactly 2wd slash, 2nd hand. Its been abused in many ways, held up strong, very little repairs was needed in 2 years. Snow, mud, sand, even salty sea water (friend was driving). Its been converted as Monster slash with wider rpm arms from jato, 32dp jato spur, brushless.. now ongoing 6s speedrun conversion. Its fun car with A LOT of options to do with it.

I got a slash2wd brushed and have upgraded a lot of things. But this car can take a whoopin. All I do is bash in my backyard with ramps I built. Any way a RC car can be flipped I have done it. It stands up to much abuse. Putting VXL3s next week hope my luck continues.

Those surpass hobbies motors are pretty good for how inexpensive they are. They are one of my favorite budget motors on the market. I've never had one cause any problems, they do get hot but they seem to wear it well.

I put the hobbywing BL120 V.2 into mine. 4S on 3300kv 3660 was great. But the rear driceshafts couldn't do it. But with monster truck tires its sick.

[brianlangford]

Starting with a lcg chassis I'm about $1100 in, but she a tough beast

[robertward]

I run my senton on a 2750kv and on 3s it goes like a rocket. And that's with a smaller 15t pinion too.

[andyb]

Yep slash is awesome for everyone, beginner to a pro, so many options and upgrades!!!

[kyledidzena]

Its works good great job. Its just snowed here 10cm even with paddle tires its hard to get out of driveway.. Some days it gets -45 then i still rc all bymyself & I figured out ways to fix for free a machinest from mill builds me parts.

What's the most realistic short corse truck what raises the inside front wheel when turning really high like the real thing .

[michaelsmyth]

Are the real trucks 2or4 weel drive and how can you get the rc version's to handle like the real thing with the front inside wheel lifting around corners .

[chelmswoodjunction]

hello
recently subscribed to your channel and loving the content.
i have got this car on my radar to buy with the pink body and i would be looking at a brushless upgrade and from what i have seen in your video this looks very easy to do so again thank you for this video.
hope yourself and your family are all well.

[michaelsmyth]

i love the way the real trucks lift the front inside wheel off the ground in cornering really high.
Can you please help me on how to make mine handle like that so my inside weel raises more easily like the real thing.
All i cair about is realism not handling for racing.
Thank you very much in advance for any HELP of anyone.
All the best 👍

What kind of top speed are you getting with this motor upgrade?

[jeremyomara]

What's the difference between the rtr n vxl

[callsignmohas]

So this is hobby grade…. Is there anything in the sub $120 range that is Toy grade. Looking to get some for my son and my nephews so we can all ride together without spending to much on something they could potentially lose interest in. I have a slash 2wd but think its too much for them

[MrDavee]

Love my 2wd. Stick a pair of pro-line trenchers, or badlands, and your handling will be transformed. The standard Traxxas tires have poor traction on dirt.
