STRC SC10/B4/T4 & Slash 2wd options

ST Racing Concepts have released a number of new optional parts starting with some new CNC machined aluminium steering knuckle for the Associated SC10/B4/T4 along with aluminium hex adapters. The knuckles are a direct bolt on for SC10RS vehicles and works for those that want to convert to inboard style front steering knuckles. The hex adapters for the SC10/T4 are designed to work with the inboard steering knuckle setup. Available in blue, gun metal, red and silver. CNC machined aluminium rear chassis “L” Brackets for the Slash 2wd LCG conversion kit replace the 4 spacers that connect the lower chassis to the rear deck of the conversion kit making the truck more rigid in this connection area and also less likely to loose during dis-assembly and maintenance.

Pro-Line Pro-2 LCG Slash chassis kit

Pro-Line introduce the Pro-2 LCG chassis kit for the Slash 2WD truck. The kit contains a tough, hard anodised 7075 aluminium chassis plate that allows for adjustable weight bias, durable servo mounts and steering posts as well as jet fighter inspired side pods and bumpers for that overall racy look. The chassis design does away with the stock ‘channel’ and significantly lowers the centre of gravity for improved on track performance.

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.
