RPM have released adjustable body posts for the Traxxas Slash 2wd, designed for durability and strength while still allowing you to change the body height on the truck. The unique body post mounting system allows the option of using the stock body height on the chassis. The body can also be lowered as much as 3/16” or raised as much as 3/8” simply by moving the posts up or down on the mounts. This simple, yet clever design is strong enough to handle the toughest of conditions while still allowing enough flex to absorb impacts that could otherwise damage other more fragile internal components of the chassis. Everything about the body mounts and posts are beefier than stock, from the thicker than stock screw mounts to the twin screws holding the body posts on to the mounts. They also use an I-beam shape throughout each mount, which provides the strength these parts need for those less than perfect landings.
ST Racing Concepts have released more short course option parts, this time for the Slash 4×4 & 2wd as well as the Associated SC10. First up for the Slash 2wd is this aluminum motor heat sink plate. CNC Machined from high-grade aluminium to fit perfectly into the contour of the Slash 2wd motor mounting area, this plate helps support the plastic transmission/motor mounting area on the Slash 2wd transmission case and help dissipate heat better. . Next up for the Slash 2wd is this HD layshaft that allows the use of the Associated slipper clutch system which gives a more consistent slipper feel and more spur gear options to accommodate for gear ratios of today’s brushless motor. For the Slash 4×4 is this ESC mounting plate, which has been CNC machined from 2.5mm thick aluminium, it provides a solid flat piece of surface area for mounting most electronic speed controls on the market today. Using existing chassis holes, this plate will not flex or twist like fiberglass or lexan material mounting plates and prevents damage to the ESC. Finally for the SC10 are these aluminium hex adapter that allows the car to use the more standardized 12mm hex type short course wheels. Machined to be as thin as possible to keep the rear tires of the SC10 under the body and not to alter the rear width too much. The aluminium parts are available in anodized blue, red, silver and gun metal.
ST Racing Concepts have released their LCG (low centre of gravity) conversion kit for the Traxxas Slash 2WD Short Course truck. This simple, yet economical and easy to bolt on conversion utilizes the existing Traxxas Rustler chassis components and delivers a huge on track performance improvement over the stock configuration Slash. All components have been CNC machined from high-grade aluminium and all necessary hardware is included for installation. Track testing has shown that this kit allows for a 1-1.5 seconds per lap drop in lap times and allowed the Slash to be right in the mix with today’s stadium truck based short course trucks. Available in blue, gun metal, red and silver.
From T-Works are their new 17mm wheel adapters for the Jammin SCRT10, Slash 2WD and Slash 4×4. These wheel adapters have been made from high quality aluminium and hard anodized for extra durability.
