Smile Hello!

Hey guys, thought I'd say hello,

I'm "one of them" that bashes RCs, lol but thought I'd stick my head in and show you my Slash 4x4.

Started as a normal Slash, I don't know if any of you have followed my project on other forums (not sure if I can link forums on here? It's not like Maxbashing is it? ) but it makes an interesting read.

I ran it on 8s Lipo with a Neu 1527 (rated around 6-8hp) 2500kv. Dubbed the "Insanity Project" It was only a short lived one though, was fun while it lasted.

Size comparison next to a Mamba Monster 2200kv (Neu 1527 is on right):






The speed controller, or "Rubix Cube" as I like to call it, lol, capable of 250amps and 15s Lipo. Made by MGM-Compro:





It all in!






It was FAST but never got a full flat run, it broke all the time. Here's a video:

But I've taken all that out now it's nice and simple now, running a 3000kv motor on 3s.

Has many hop-ups, Losi 8ight Shocks, full RPM, upgraded Revo diffs, custom made centre driveshaft, MIP driveshafts all around:






It has even been dyed brown (a failed orange)

I think you might find my other videos fun, here's just one of them:

Ran lots of different setups in the videos, Mtroniks, MGM, VXL, Mamba Monster from 2s to 4s (excluding the project mentioned above).

Cheers,
Nick.

Edit: sorry if my post makes no sense, I've had this model for so long and done so many things to it - it's hard to condense it all down into a single topic, lol

Oh yes, forgot about that place in Poppleton, yep that's a nice little place to run something small.

Near the BP garage down the road is a big wasteland to with MX jumps in, which is excellent.
