Traxxas Slash aluminum Chassis

[Beane_O]

Okay, I know I could be wrong but, all of the Traxxas Slash Races only allow stock truck stuff pretty much with the exception of minor things that shouldn't inhance the performance, correct? Any ways, I came accross this on www.rcplanet.com and was wondering, is there a new type of slash racing going on or would these things only be good for those anything goes races?

Here is the link to the product.

Some people are starting to open the field on slash upgrades. Obviously it is no longer a spec race though. A "run whatcha brung" kinda thing. Nice find on the chassis though.

Thanks, but I wonder how tough they are considering if you want to bash and not race all the time?

I like it, I bet it will hold up just fine to bashing. The FLM stuff does, it's the corners that take the beating. Aluminum chassis and RPM arms are a good bet in my book.

Well kewl then. If I ever plan to hop mine up, that may be one of the things to add. But for now, I am planning to get two more Slashes for my wee ones once the $$$ flow kicks up.
