Pro-Line Slash 2wd LCG chassis

Pro-Line are releasing sneak peek photos of their pre production LCG chassis for the Traxxas Slash 2wd. The chassis has been made from aluminium instead of the kit plastic and is much narrower yet brings together all the electronics in a more competition configuration. The steering servo is now mounted in the centre of the chassis along with the receiver and so far in testing it is performing very well. More details as they are released.

Pro-Line Slash performance transmission

This is a Pre-Built Performance Transmission for Slash 2WD, Electric Stampede 2WD, Electric Rustler and Bandit. Since its release, racers have been modifying and hopping up every aspect of the vehicle to improve its performance but they have always been stuck with the heavy, non-adjustable and non-racing inspired transmission, until now. After over a year of design, development and testing, Pro-Line is proud to release the Performance Transmission, which has been specifically designed to bring your Slash up to racing specifications. Every feature you would expect to find in a high-end race transmission is now available for your Slash.

Tekno RC Big Bone driveshaft for Slash 4×4

The Tekno RC Big Bone driveshaft and outdrives for the Slash 4×4 and Stampede 4×4 solves the many issues associated with the stock center driveline. First off it’s fat yet it’s still extremely lightweight. It’s a dog bone rather than a simple splined shaft and as such will not bind, split, or bend the way the stock shaft does. The laser etched shaft is machined from high quality aluminium and anodized for incredible wear. Newly designed hardened steel outdrives on either end replace the weaker stock parts for the ultimate center driveline available for the Slash 4×4 and Stampede 4×4 vehicles.
