A few pics for fun. This was my Slash 4x4 Platinum, now a Monster Slash, built up for the wife.

RPM everything, MIP X-Duty's in the rear, Trenchers on all corners, and the J-Concepts F150 SVT Raptor Truck body for the Slash 2WD. Running stock gearing, Losi 2.5" blue springs in the rear, green 2.5" in the front, now with stock Stampede 4x4 gearing for 2S wheelies.

Don't bother with the stock instructions, as the body fits just fine using the stock body holes. No reason to do anything else to it.

I must say, it looks very solid. How does it feel compared to your stampede? And how's the BLH ESC doing? I've seen a few people use them with SC401s and SC411s but a few have had them blow out.

It's more stable then the Stampede, but not as explosive off the line, as it's larger and weighs more. A much better all-arounder, whereas the Pede tends to be explosive and wild.

The Monster Slash uses a Hobbywing SC8, which is 120a and really more for buggies. The ESC has no issues pushing that truck around.

The Pede's BLH 120A is rocking house. Very smooth, great brakes, and it never, ever warms up.

Haha, yeah, you are right...We wont be able to tech the shocks by taking them apart, I doubt...that is the number one reason that we decided to allow stock tires only....shock pistons start to matter less and less when you are dealing with low traction-type tires....there are some ways to tell by compressing/extending the shock, but it is still hard to tell. I know it is hard, since racing is so competititve, but, just know that if no one cheats, this will be the closest wheel-to-wheel racing of any class that weekend.....kind of like what spec 2wd was before people began 'secretly' modding motors and shaving tires, etc...and, if you havent been to a race with Scotty Ernst anouncing in a tight, wheel-to-wheel race, you are in for a treat....he hypes up the crowd (and the drivers) big time!

@WindDrake: Sweet. Yours is the V1, right?

@Happy Meal: I agree. No cheating is the best. I've seen videos of Scotty Ernst announcing a race and damn, he's good.

iamahuman

The BLH ESC. Not the one with the new switching BEC, right?

Strap a rocket to it lol

Ah, yeah. Pretty sure it's a V1. It's like 4-5 months old now.

@Nick: The Tekno driveshafts are the most commonly used ones. If you don't care much for weight, the MIP driveshafts can do well too. you can use XO-1 driveshafts with XO-1 hubs if you use 17mm wheels.

I use 12mm hex scte wheels with xo1 axles. I get to swap tires around with other racers running scte's.
