Lucky for us, there are a lot of other companies already making some great hop-ups and replacement parts for the Slash 4×4, including making a metal front gear to replace the plastic Traxxas one!Īs with all our stuff, if you see me at a bash or at the track, feel free to stop by, say hi and check out the stuff! I’ll give ya some stickers, and even let ya try stuff! (maybe… if you ask nice) Just seems like the big T has been a little slow making the parts available to the shops. It’s not that the hobby shops aren’t carrying them. To make things difficult, the front and rear can not be swaped! Really? Come on Traxxas, why would you do that to us? The other issue, which is also new for Traxxas, the spare parts have been hard to come by. For some reason, Traxxas didn’t use a metal gear like they did in the rear, but a plastic one.

I can’t count the times I have had the 2wd on its side on the track, waiting for a turn marshal to flip me over. It was amazing how different the handling was after we put it in. The Platinum kit also comes with a installable center diff. All that aluminum sure looks nice! And with the Big Bore shocks and sway bar kit, It’s attitude in the corners is easier to handle, and there are a lot less rollovers with the sway bar installed. We got our hands on the Platinum Edition. Go for a 3c and your face will hurt by the end of the day! How fast do you want to go? well, put a mild 2c lipo in it and you’ll have a big grin on your face. How about the Traxxas Velineon Brushless system to help over power the 4 wheels. Well, it’s here!
