Tips, Cheats, and Trick To make Slah race ready

Wow that's a good idea about the hole for a comm stick. How do you deal with the metal shavings though being attracted to the magnets?

I drilled two holes in the rear body mount that line up with the two button head screws that holds the gear box to the shock tower. Cuts down on taking everything apart in the back to drop out the gear box, just the two up top and the six in the rear skid plate. Out she comes!

When you all were talking about replacing the steering bushings with bearings, were do you get the bearings from and how many are there to replace ? would 5x8x2.3 work ?

I really like the hole to clean the comm. What are you using to clean it though?

Most LHS's should have comm sticks or comm brushes available for a few bucks. The brushes are a stick of fiberglass fibers and the comm sticks are solid with what feels like a very hard eraser on the end.

Hey guys I did the hinge pin mod seems a little better I still have to polish the pins but my question is do you still have the same pre loads on the rear shocks that came with the box set up the larger size also I did change out the oil in the rear shocks and refilled with 40 weight thanks for any input.

Rules are just guidelines right ;D

hah ya. and i found a neat trick for the motor. put the motor in warm water for five min. adjust the throttle trim till it just starts moving. let run for five min. then take out. and blow it out with a air compressor. then take ele motor cleaner, clean out like normal then i drounded my motor in wd-40. then blow it out. you will notice a huge diff and only thing is it runs a litlle louder. but faster... and its all stock for us spec racers. ;D ;D

most on rc/tech have said wd-40 is horrible to spray in the motor......

[slashracer88]

it works for me.... i tried it with an old motor and it killed my other motor i just water broke in....
