i just picked up an ultimate with a whole bunch of upgrades and lightly used for $300 i am so excited boys i cant even begin to describe

[rtrc]

I set my Ultimate up to run those 2.8s. Initially, I ran it in sand and dirt, but got real tired of the mess and the chore of keeping it clean and replacing bearings. So I bought 2.8s and the stiffest springs Traxxas offers for the shocks, front and rear. I removed the rear sway bar, it wasn't needed, but kept the front sway bar and adjusted it so that it was much stiffer to keep that front end from rolling so much. I also adjusted the front camber which really helps on the rig rolling over in turns.
Now I "Hot Rod" this thing like crazy on asphalt and have very little problems with rolling it over! It power slides well and handles like a dream!
Picked up the 2wd VXL and have been working with it as a street runner. I run both on 3s and heat is an issue! I just take a break and let em cool down, then run em some more! :)
I should try a 2s battery and see what I think! I see lots of good reports about 2s in these.

Why didn't you go with the metal driveshafts (CVD) from traxxas?

[Rc-Adventurers]

So all the regular slash 4x4 parts fit on the ultimate chassis?? Simple swap?

[scottdashnaw]

I went with some traxxas outer hub captured pins..must have..

[loganselleck]

I am buying a slash 4x4 vxl and was planning on using 3s but i have heard that it puts a lot of strain on the esc and motor and i dont know if i should get 2s or 3s

There is no list below. Can you edit the text and add what you used? Can those side nerf bars be used to hold the body on if Velcro is applied? Great video.

unfortunately IMO grass/asphalt driving these wheel suck! i hear its better for track but idk what kind of track lol…. running on 3S and wheels always wanna spin. regardless still happy w the slash ultimate

[ghost]

Been using 3s batteries for yrs without any problems. Don’t even use 2s

You're a young guy and young guys like pristine things.

Don't throw out your old scratched up parts cause you might regret getting rid of them.
You might soon want a well used looking version to go with your pristine version.

Plan what you're doing and where your collection is going to go in the future.

Upgrades are actually modifications.

You can't upgrade a professionally designed car from the professionals.

The car is famous to them not you or I.

You can replace worn-out parts. They're not Upgrades.

The words bullet proof and Traxxas do not go together lol. I have many Traxxas vehicles and they are all far from bullet proof even with rpm lol. Rpm doesn't break they just warp and become deformed
