@Memer Dreamer I jumped it into a pond on accident and it was underwater for 40 minutes. I tried recovering it but every part was messed up so i thought i might as well by a new one.
@Memer Dreamer i was only 12 and neither I or nobody in my family/friends knew about rc cars like that my best option was to ask for a new one for christmas. Idk why you are so concerned lmao.
From someone who has been a basher for 15 years now and just recently gotten into racing. I can tell you 3s in a 2wd class truck is no easy feat. I’ve personally never liked it due to its rear end kick out nature in such small throttle inputs.
@@RCKnockout it makes it much more enjoyable. I run my race set up blitz on 2s and it bites really good. I’ve hooked up to 3s just to see if I could grab some of the bigger triple and quad lines and my lap times were slower.
@@Sackmatters I’m surprised the times were slower..you can definitely make cleaner laps on 2s…my 2wd slash just won’t hook up on 3S..not on this surface with these tires anyway
Yeah 2wd takes more skill but you’ll never be able to get the lap times of a 4wd machine unfortunately. The 4wd machines can give you much more pull out of the corners unlike the 2wds which struggle to hook up
Love seeing some action at the track! Race twice a week and my indoor clay track. Need to do some setup changes on the Slash. Webbed tires and lower ride height to start. Started with a Slash now I race a B6.3 and T6.2. It would be awesome to see you racing with a couple people in a future video. Have a good one 👍
@@murder_wagon I’ve thought about a Team Associated but I’m not sure how much interest or growth that will bring to the channel. They’re definitely more racing oriented. I’m more into bashing
Man your doing awesome on this technical small dusty track with a 2wd slash I'm impressed how you put in some good laps, I think that you should experiment a little bit more with tires to make the car more maneuverable on that particular track, maybe even try changing the camber in the front to make it understeer a little more but it looks to me that you can make minor changes to get big results 😊🇩🇰👍
I’m probably gonna get a 2wd! Should I get a wheelie bar with it or nah? Kinda a beginner but I don’t have any tracks close to me so I won’t be doing much off roading
Hey rc knockout ik this vid is old but I’ve seen a few of your 2wd slash videos and most of them you have a problem with the spin out which is obviously very reasonable considering it’s 2wd. Butttt if you assemble tsm to the esc it’s be so much easier to control and idk if you know but a lot of races allow it! :)
@@RCKnockout also it can be in % so like if there is a time where a high end race is going and they do allow it it’ll probably only be around the 10% range
DeWitt….it’s not actually designated as an Rc Track…it has a sign that says it’s a BMX Pump Track actually but people still use it for RC a lot….never had organized races there…just people meeting up and racing for fun……have you checked out Thunder Roads track in Moline?
@@RCKnockout Yes I have tried thunder road but I prefer smaller tracks for 10th scale rc cars and that track looks fun and a little closer than Maquoketa! I started with a slash and now I have a rustler and I love it. have you driven a Rustler VXL yet?
I picked up a 2wd after my old 4wd got busted beyond repair and I love how you can drift it around the track more. Great video btw.
Thanks! Yeah the 2wd definitely is a fishtailing machine!

Still have it?
@@miller038 yup
2wd is all you need. I love mine and have turned it into a monster Slash! It does everything I need it to! Great vid. Subscribed thanks.
Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it!
Just bought one of these for my son today. I chose 2wd because it was cheaper lol. I’m in the single dad budget.
That’s probably the better starter rc for a kid anyhow…..good choice!

Yeah it definitely is quite a bit more challenging than a 4x4 machine. I probably should try running a 2s pack in my 2wd when I’m on the track
@@RCKnockout it makes it much more enjoyable. I run my race set up blitz on 2s and it bites really good. I’ve hooked up to 3s just to see if I could grab some of the bigger triple and quad lines and my lap times were slower.

Can’t you just leave it in training mode? 50% power seems easier to manage
Looks like a fun little track. Definitely a challenge with 2WD. It would be interesting to get your opinion on driving it with 2WD vs 4WD slash.
It’s all in the preference, racing 2wd is not bad, just takes more skill…. All my rc’s are 2wd even my slash.
30 weight in front 50 weight in back, lay the shocks down more on shock tower no more flip overs. Just something to think about.
Yeah 2wd takes more skill but you’ll never be able to get the lap times of a 4wd machine unfortunately. The 4wd machines can give you much more pull out of the corners unlike the 2wds which struggle to hook up
I prefer driving rwd because thats how real short course trucks are. Plus its more fun :p
@@aidenmaves5537 it all comes down to personal preference. I like them both

Thank you! Learning to tune the shocks and get the toe and camber adjusted properly is definitely gonna take some practice
Nice find for sure. Hit it when it's a light sprinkle to make it a little tacky. We dont have nothing around here like that.
Yeah it’s a nice track. But very little grip especially with a 2wd
Handles like a dream .wish mine would handle like this
Yeah it handles well!
That would be a fun track to race with your buddy
For sure it is!
Nice run good video looks great 👍
Thanks!
Nice track. I have an Arrma Senton 4x4 but heard the Traxxas slash is great.
Yeah It’s a super awesome truck!
I’m probably gonna get a 2wd! Should I get a wheelie bar with it or nah?
Kinda a beginner but I don’t have any tracks close to me so I won’t be doing much off roading
No I wouldn’t put a wheelie bar on it….it’ll be in the way most of the time
@@RCKnockout ok. Thank you!
@@Sharkbait7463 no problem 😉
Nice track action. You should try running 4x4, it should stick to them turns a little bit easier than 2wd. Looks like a blast.
Yeah I’m sure the 4x4 will perform significantly better at least through the corners
That’s a dope find.
Thanks man!
Super cool I’m buying one
Awesome man! They’re a ton of fun!

Didn’t know that was allowed in racing? I’ve actually got TSM on this Slash now
@@RCKnockout high competition most of the time not 😂 but a little on the low medium fun side of competition then yes
@@RCKnockout also it can be in % so like if there is a time where a high end race is going and they do allow it it’ll probably only be around the 10% range
@@UA5Mari I gotcha…thanks man!
Great video I have a stampede thinking about getting a slash but idk
The Slash is a heck of a lot of fun! One of the most reliable bashers that I own
not bad for a one hander.
Thanks man!
Try getting the traxxas remote camera holder part number is 6532. Hope this helps!
Ive already had one actually
@@RCKnockout what happened?
@@oreosstikiland9704 I just started using it with the 100mph Traxxas slash project. I’m too lazy to switch it between controllers though lol 😂
u had to buy another since the body is blue
Yeah I bought another body for it
You should try out the traxxas phone holder.
I actually have one. I just started running it on my 100mph Traxxas Slash project. I’m too lazy to switch it between controllers though lol 😂
Nice track.
Yeah it’s a nice little track!
@RC Knockout We used to have one in Round Lake Illinois but it is now a bike track.
@@joeddejohn that’s unfortunate…can you still use it for rc?
@RC Knockout I think you can but nothing like your track.
@RC Knockout Ever since HPI discontinued the Pulse 4.6 been out of the hobby. Not sure if I want to fix my TLR SCTE 2.0.
Your personal track look aweasome, how you did that?
It’s not a personal track….it’s my local rc track actually
Definitely " easing on the throttle "
For sure lol 😂
I picked up a brushed 2wd for £70. What brushless KV rating motor do you recommend?
Probably around the 3500kv mark….you could go lower or higher kv but then you’ll want to re-gear
Why the holes in the top of the body ? Heat or to pick it up I’m new to RC looking at buying a second car
No actually I was running a different body mount system before this one…it required those holes to be cut into the body
@@RCKnockout oh ok I’m with you now , do you recommend a certain fair priced rc car for bashing ? cheers, Jo.
@@joski9030 I think the Slash 2wd brushless is an awesome basher that’s fair priced
That track needs at least one flat straight away.
I didn’t build the track…..so it’s basically what I’m working with lol
@@RCKnockout sure, no worries. Good to have a free track. Cheers
@@swampcrawlerls1267 that’s very true 👍
Is the steering sensitivity adjustable? Or does it just turn the wheels all the way in whichever direction you steer it?
It’s proportional……if you turn the transmitter wheel half way…. it’ll turn the wheels half way…. Full turn will turn the wheels fully…etc…
@@RCKnockout great, thanks so much for the reply. Thats exactly what I wanted to know👍🏻
@@trevdogg88 yep no problem 😉
Does your motor get to hot on 3s ? Thinking about getting one
Not too bad with the stock gearing
Nice video man. What motor is in this?
Thanks! It’s the 3500 velineon
What park is the track located? I'm from Davenport and I keep driving to Maquoketa every weekend to race
DeWitt….it’s not actually designated as an Rc Track…it has a sign that says it’s a BMX Pump Track actually but people still use it for RC a lot….never had organized races there…just people meeting up and racing for fun……have you checked out Thunder Roads track in Moline?

@@iowacrawlerrc2518 I have not….mostly I drive 4x4 trucks aside from the 2wd slash
@@RCKnockout is It Westbrook park?
@@iowacrawlerrc2518 yeah
Looks like 3s is too much for the dirt..2s would do alot better..great set up
Yeah 3S is probably too much. I should try it again running 2s. The tires aren’t hooking up well either.
I think it runs great on the track I know It’s hard to record and steer
@@theplayerguy4505 nah i have a 2wd slash vxl w a 3s and its tuff period without haveing to baby it..or "EASE ON THE THROTLE"but it did run alright
@@theplayerguy4505 yeah it can be difficult to do both lol
Is this one brushed?
No it has a brushless system in it
But you saying you couldn't turn left you must have forgot about turn right to go left
What’s the top speed?
With the gearing its supposed to go 60mph
Do you have a link to those wheels ?
Yeah in the description of the video
Thankyou
@@rgcustomz83 no problem 😉
Is this track in Michigan
No……Iowa
This dude oh look I just stumbled across a RC track in someones garden farmer Joe click clack what are you doing their boy 🤣
