Hey all -
My kids are racing kids class with their slashes and having a lot of fun but the wheels that were given to me are too deep on the rims compared to stock slash so the rim rubs the arms when turning. Do you know what to look for with rims so they don't bind when turning? Thanks!!'

Which 2wd slashes are available with the black chassis? Looking for a brushed version. Is the Gordini the only one? Thanks!

Been tuning on my slash this morning. Rebuilt the shocks with fresh oil, rebuilt the transmission...etc..

Velineon 3500 with new esc
Does anyone know of other speed controls that will run the velineon 3500 motor other than the vxl-3s

The earlier Velineon motors were 2-pole and could be run with virtually any brushless ESC. But the later Velineon VXL3S system uses a 4-pole motor. I would think that the inexpensive Castle Sidewinder would work fine. I would call their tech service line to make sure. Also, eBay RC chop shops may have a VXL3S ESC much cheaper than one packaged by Traxxas

However could have bought a cheaper version, without the black chassis, cause i am converting to a lcg chassis anyway.
However i like it.

So far so good with my robby gordon slash that is black with stickers.
Last week i bumped from the Cmain to the Bmain. i was happy with that.

LCG Chassis & OBA
I'm thinking about getting the LCG chassis for my 2wd Slash but I have OBA and want to know if the chassis has a place to mount the OBA module.
Also, if I upgrade to brushless, does the ESC support OBA?

I recently installed a CC sidewinder 3800kv with a sidewinder sct esc. When I am pressing from a stand still it sounds like the motor is running but i dont get the punch i feel it should have. I am running an 18T pinion and 86t spur (STOCK) which was recommended as a starting point for this motor. Car seems like it has a decent top speed but overall it doesnt feel like its working to its potential. I am running a 2s lipo 5200mah 60c battery, and after about 15 minutes at the track the motor is running at about 160*F. I am going to open up the transmission to make sure there isnt any teeth missing but does anyone else have any ideas? maybe have gone through the same problem and fixed it?

Thinking of replacing it with one of Pro-line's Bug bodies. If I do that I think the exposed black chassis will look good under a Beetle body. Also, as a long time Mad Max Fan, the Desert Eagle body still tempts me ( and also appropriate for a 2wd vehichle) I might even get some adjustable mounts for my 4x4 and transfer the Gordon body to the beat up Used 4x4 I recently came across.
I've been looking at the Kinexsis 3000 or 4000kv system for a brushless upgrade for the 2wd. Anybody have any experience with these systems? They have really good reviews and Horizon has decent customer service and backs them.

Thanks for confirming my first question. I called Traxxas and they said they sell the brushless ESC (Velineon VXL-3s) with the OBA feature but it's only sold by them. The tech said I can send them my brushed ESC & motor and they will offer me the trade in value, reducing the price of a new brushless ESC & motor combo for only $125 + $5 shipping. So I may do this.
