Gave my beast a mud bath and got some good laps in

[salteen]

I took the Slash out to the track today while the wife was still at work. Even though I was there alone, I still had a blast. It rained heavily just yesterday so that made for some pretty gnarly puddles. I debated whether I would drive on the track or not for about 10 minutes and just couldn't resist. I'm really glad I did it because it was a blast.















Best shots of the day:

Awesome pics. Looks like a blast. Yeah, you can tell the slash is at home on the track. Never thought I would say that about a Traxxas electric product again ;D

Sweet pics man! Gotta ask though...any particular reason you mounted the ESC where you did? Is it a weight/balance thing?

I did it to lower the COG and so that when I flip it on its roof in a puddle of mud, it's not the highest point on the chassis and the first thing to hit the water and stay submerged.
