Well, I got a delivery today and the beast is almost complete..
Lights, lights and more lights!

Here is a link to answer servo questions you haven't even thought of..there are articles within the article to link other servo aspects also..

Very sweet..both outside paint lines on the hood line up with the creases in the Hoss bumper..(Almost as if it was planned that way) [emoji6]

I ended up using two LED bullet lights as I had just...

Thank you sir!

It's not for everyone but the Slash platform has so many directions it can go.

I agree, the updated system of the clipless bodies makes me forget there ever was clips/washers....

Beautiful work Steeeve!

If I had your patience in the paint skills department I would probably lose my job from time spent tinkering on these rigs..Ha!

The measurements and tolerances make a...

I can't say that I have used them but I don't think it's a one-off or two-off..seems to be fairly regular with this vendor..they have an inflated feedback rating due to the number of transactions...

It's a MAXX clipless body..the newest 'Solar Flare' edition.

Plenty of room for the Hoss wheels and tires..here is one fully compressed and the body is just narrow enough to fall between all...

Yea.. many Traxxas parts fit other platforms and can be interchangeable..

There's some info floating around the forums but probably easier to just watch the link below..

I go thru a quick...

Hoss shock towers, bumpers and wheels came in today...waiting on a Hoss LED light kit..I have a Futaba simple on/off switch to plug in the receiver to power the lights instead of the battery plug...

Thanks..waiting on some Hoss parts and Hoss wheels for completion..

Once they get installed this is what it will look like with this latest Maxx body.

I build em, play around with em and then...

About halfway thru another Slash, Hoss, Maxx mashup with 4S, extreme duty CVD's
Hoss cast aluminum torque bias diff, MKS...

At least the price is reasonable..but doesn't appear there is any low/high beam functions or actual brake light function (just steady red led) or an on/off function other than just not plugging them...

Yes, it looks like they had planned ahead..if you keep the stock 3s setup it looks like they already had 2 unused holes molded into the chassis spaced apart for the light control module.

You made a good choice for drop in and plug and play..
I have a MKS hbl550X5 as mentioned earlier in this thread on a Slash..don't get me wrong I love it but installation on a Slash 4x4 was a little...

Been noticing lately alot of body shells have offset paint patterns or just misplaced decals right out of the box..
That is to say the grille area center line doesn't line up with most paint schemes...

As mentioned above you can use a 4S ESC and utilize the port on that..still will be some modifications to the bumper or body.
I chose bumpers because I don't like having a clipless body and then...

Here's another one I just finished tonight..
540XL with Hoss 3S ESC 6.5mm bullet connector setup

These platforms are interchangeable..
So many ways to go depending what you are after.
