I got the bug to build a Drag Slash after watching some racing at the OCC Road House & Museum a few Sundays ago.
Basically built from parts, although I did buy a Drag Slash RTR to "borrow" parts from.
The Drag Slash is now $299 (the price it should have been from the start) or two for $500 with a timing light.
The price drop got me off the fence, so off I went...
Got the RTR from Amazon and "liberated" the ESC, motor, receiver/transmitter, wheelie bar, wheels and gearbox.
Sold the body/chassis as a slider on CL for $140
Much cheaper than getting the individual parts.
All these parts were installed on a Slash LCG chassis with STRC front and rear shock towers and RPM Bandit A arms.
Stock front shocks with metal caps and travel limiters on all four corners, stiff in the rear and soft up front.
Bandit turnbuckle kit and aluminium front and rear hubs/steering gear.
I used a rear body mount extender from AJC mods, as well as their IROC underbody kit and C10 wing. Really nice stuff!
5v 40mm fans on ESC and motor, running on battery voltage- they move some air! Hope they hold up...
I've always liked Pro Mod cars, and when I saw the Pro-Line "Super J" body I had to have it.
Paint is Spaz Stix Gold/red flip on nose and sides, gold pearl on roof and trunk and mirror chrome on bumpers, hood scoop, grill, side skirts and window surrounds.
I left the grill clear and used some silver painted screen behind it to add some depth. Also added some trailer side marker lights as headlights.
Used a distressed flag mask on the sides with pearl white stripes and pearl blue star field.
The body fits great, plenty of front and rear tire clearance.
I haven't really run it yet, just got done with all the fiddly bits...
Starting off with the stock Drag slash electronics and motor, we'll see how it works out. Changes may be made as testing continues.
Got a SkyRC performance analyzer to take data with, I'm looking forward to seeing how well it can do.
BTW, I love 3rd gen Camaros, so I had to also get the Pro-Line IROC body (in process shot)
