The big draw to the Traxxas Slash is the racing. Where else can we all race a CORR Pro2 trucks fender-to-fender for about $300 (truck $200, batteries & charger $100)? Its good clean fun as long as you don’t take the class too seriously. One of the reasons that I say this is because it [...]
Keeping up with our MIP theme today, we have the new C-CVD. This new design needs no thread lock or tiny set screw. Just insert the pin through the bone and coupling axle assembly then side the new RED C-CVD Capture Ring over the threads and screw it on. These new C-CVD’s will work on the [...]
If you have been around the bashing scene for a while, the name MIP should be a familiar to you. I think if you owned a Traxxas T-Max, you were probably running MIP CVD’s. Well, MIP is about to be a name you start to buy again as they are starting to hop-up the Traxxas Slash! [...]
As I sit here writing the last of this years Cub Reports, I can’t help but to wonder what lies ahead in 2009. Will we see any of the big name manufactures close doors due to the economy? Will the sport continue to trend toward the “basher” side of the product lines? Will the Dream Team at Kyosho put out a [...]
Last week I cover the weak links of the Traxxas Slash. All though few; the Slash has them. Last week I talked only about the shocks, because it’s the one thing that needs to be fixed right out of the box. They will pop off just tooling around the drive way. All of the items that I [...]
Seems that I started a little firestorm last week with the announcement of my “Cubbies” awards. So to simplify it for those that went into full panic mode (self promotion mode?), here’s the low down. Instead of getting 100 emails with 100 different suggestions (usually the person writing said email) who the “man of the year” is, I’m throwing [...]
Stop the presses! Looks like all those Worlds Fastest RC Car speed records and RC Drag Racing times are going to be broken in the near future! Castle Creations has just posted a page talking about their new 9000 kv Mamba Max Motor! You read that correctly, 9000 kv! The other kicker? It’s $99! Wow. I can’t wait to get [...]
The Slash is for the most part an over built truck. It’s based off of the Rustler and Stampede trucks so parts are usually easy to get a hold of. There are a few areas that could use a little bit of tweaking though. The main weak spots to look at are the shock caps, rear axle [...]
Unfortunately, it’s that time of the year again, Christmas. That time of year where you get to see your co-workers drunk, unbearable traffic near any major shopping area, and have to put up with your family for at least one day. This year brings a different type of Christmas, a recession Christmas, one America hasn’t truly seen for many [...]
The Traxxas Slash is by far the biggest hit in the RC industry right now. Companies, tracks, racing organizations, and the media are all scrambling to get parts, hop-ups, classes, and articles out as fast as possible involving the Slash and its nitro brother the Slayer. (Can’t leave him out…. 😉 The Slash is nothing really that [...]
RPM RC has just sent out a press release announcing their new Traxxas Slash Rear A-Arms! They have increased the material around the inner and outer hinge pins by 64% as well as removed the extra holes that were for vehicles other than the slash. They also ended up being 10% lighter, and way stronger! The full press [...]
So let’s jump right into the good stuff. What was the hottest news at the show (besides the BigSquidRC and IMEX booth babes)? It was a hard call this year. I think the general consensus would have to go to the Traxxas Crawler. It was on display in all it’s glory, and looked really gnarly. Although, in my opinion, it looked [...]
What a great show iHobby has been so far. We have met a ton of people this year. We have also had a chance to meet a lot of fans of the site which is really great! Now and then we tend to forget that more then just friends and family actually read the reviews and articles up [...]
They know a good thing when they got it! Pro-Line Racing has announced another Traxxas Slash body called the Hardcore. With the Traxxas Slash being the ‘hot’ vehicle right now, I don’t blame them at all! It’s a sweet looking truck, made with .060 lexan with some nice detail work. If you are a Traxxas Slash [...]
Striking while it’s hot, Pro-Line Racing has just announced a second body for the popular Traxxas Slash! The folks over at Pro-Line know a good thing when they see it, and I have a feeling it’s going to do very well for them. I was invited out to the track this weekend for a little [...]
