Thank you!! The good part is that it’s a quick change back to truck form.

I actually saw your post about yeah racing fans on another thread. I have a tornado plus on the ESC and have 2 tornados...

Yes I’m happy with it :)

With the 17mm conversion and GRP slicks (Picture has different wheels/tires) the speed is about the same as before. Adding cooling to ESC and motor to enjoy it for a while...

Thank you! I didn’t know these were directional tires. Thanks for the note, I’ll swap them out.

I also just added a video to the album but you can’t see much detail and there’s no audio (shot...

Thanks! Yes, it has been a nice evolution and I'm happy with where it is now. Which is all the more surprising that it can't get higher than 58mph. I made some changes to the truck last night:...

Interesting. I ended up cutting my extended post mounts down to help with aero, but then I cut them too short and on turns I get some rubbing with the 2.8 tires. I have a JConcepts Bajr body and will...

Hehe, yes the twitchy finer mod always solves the problem. I can keep from flipping it over when driving it around. Just noticing I can’t go full power when I want to wind it out.

I took off the...

Ah I see. I’ll post a video this weekend.

El Sob question. I have your 2.0 system on my slash platinum and it flips over at 3S full power. Any ideas for keeping it on the ground with minimal changes? I noticed in your video it doesn’t try...

I tried this yesterday and it’s roughly the same. I haven’t done a side by side vs the rustler or quantify it but there wasn’t an outright noticeable change.

Interesting. Good to know. Thanks and I’ll keep that in mind if I decide to make a change down the road.

I had a 2075 go out and was looking at HD and Savox options but my LHS steered me towards the Traxxas 2250 instead. I have been running it for about a month now on an EREVO 2.0 and it has been great....

I’ll check tomorrow. If so, what does that mean and how is it fixed?

Sounds like a solid day to me! I also recently went with a fan on my El Sob 2.0. I kept buying the wrong sized Hobby Wing ones (I wanted a big sink and fan) and for whatever reason they didn’t fit....

It’s funny, I picked this hobby up about 2 years ago after wanting one my entire childhood (I’m in my late 30’s now) and figured it’s just a silly thing that I like.

With shelter in place, I’ve...

I bought a pre-roller Slash 4x4 (it was a Monster Energy version) in new condition off eBay and plugged in a spare Velineon motor system and ESC. It has a 13T pinion gear and when running 2S and 3S...

Got it. Thanks for the pics. I’ve broken a few push rods and have gone to the aluminum ones front and rear without issue. I like the extra insurance with the straps and will plan to put them on. I’m...

I see. So in a crash this protects the pushrods?

Thanks for the tip. I’ve had the exact same issues come up with mine. Question about the suspension limiting straps - I bought 90mm ones and don’t have the longer M3 screws to install them. I’ve done...

Very nice!

I had the same dilemma then just decided to build it last weekend. Went with 3/4” ply for the sides, 1/8” ply for the surface, and 2x4 lumber for the frame. I free hand drew the curve, which in...

I recently went from the Velineon VXL system to the Castle 1415 2400kV. Prior to the swap, I noticed I’d pull full power and the car would just make noise and not have the punchy acceleration I...

I haven’t had as many issues with mine, but compared to the slash 4x4 and rustler VXL, the 2.0 breaks down much more often.

Got it. Appreciate the honesty. I’ll just give one of them a shot and see how it goes!

El Sob off topic question - I’m looking to get a set of mounted Duratrax Bandito SC2 2.8 tires and was wondering did you get the front, rear, or 1/2” offset for your slash? I’m running a proline...

Thanks, I just bought a big heat sink and single fan on eBay. I ran the truck again on 4S today, most of the time going about 60-80%. Temps were around 140-160. This is with the mesh cover still in...
