Hello!

[nicksource]

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. :thumbsup:

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? :lol:) 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. :woot: Made by MGM-Compro:

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

But I've taken all that out now :p 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) :cry:

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

You know there is a mini kidmade bmx type track just behind you (almost under the ringroad)?

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.

MX jumps

Didn't know that! I'll have a peek at that one day!
