I just got my new slash and it is fast,even on training mode

Videos coming soon.Till then,enjoy the pictures.

More pictures......

Congrats, get a 2S lipo once you are more confident. Will you be at the race weekend, Please come.

Congrats buddy. Nice to see your rc after all that research you did about which model to buy. I like it when people learn about what they are going to buy and then make the purchase - with respect to any product. Let us know what you feel about the vhicle. Waiting for Videos

Woah! You are so lucky! How much did it cost?
Wait till it comes outta training mode, and then into LiPo! That will be FAST!

Training mode is mean enough.On race mode,it will be sick.With lipos,it will be even sicker.

I got it for 24,990+VAT(I guess 12.5%)

I'll try to be at the race weekend but as of now,it looks doubtful.

And guys,thanks a lot for appreciating my beast.I ran it on my terrace and I really did not fell that it was a bad handler.The turning radius was quite tight(obviously with 4wd).And I am very careful with the throttle but have had two small collisions till now.I'll get the battery down tonight and charge it overnight.And with lots of stopping and starting,the ESC and motor got quite warm.

Does anybody have any idea at what voltage I should stop running?8.00V?from 8.00V,it charged to 10.00V in 7hrs 30min exactly.SO,should I finish the full 8 hour cycle or should I take it off once the charger has notified me that the charge is over?And will it get very warm if I charge it for 8hrs plus?(I hope not because it is a slow charger afterall)

DON'T charge overnight.. Its common to all types of battery (I think) ..
Take it off once the charger asks you to.. Not too sure about this stuff though..

Here is the running video from my terrace.I was driving and my dad was filming.The video is from an N95 so spare the quality.I used the throttle sparingly and it was on training mode.Better videos coming soon.

I just have a doubt.When I roll it freely,there seems to be a slight noise.Is this normal or is my mesh set incorrectly?

My brother and I keep doing time runs and he keeps winning.I am a wimp on the throttle.Can you give me some tips to race better?I know the 'racing line',anything else?I have already had around 10 crashes on my terrace and these are the big ones.I've had small touches too.

Put a mamba monster on it and you can handle it better 

BTW nice car man 

I find the slash quite powerful at full throttle on training mode with NiMH even without having fully conditioned the pack .Wait till I get my lipos .A Mamba monster would be way too much for me to handle right now.

Thanks for the complements Vinay

what max speed can we expect on lipos?

My brother and I have two types of races.In one,we just put a pipe on our terrace and do 3 laps around it with 2 practice runs before it.every touch adds a ten second penalty.One more is a figure of '8'course.The same pattern runs with it with 2 practice runs and one main event with 3 laps in all the runs with penalties for crashes.

My brother is liberal on the throttle while I am a total wimp.

Hey buddy take it for a spin on a larger area Guess you need to get used to the vehicle. Like how a person takes a while to get used to a new real car. I took a long time to get used to the santro during my license test - i failed

Traxxas says it can do 35 mph with stock gearing on the stock 7 cell NiMHs.I am guessing atleast 50mph with 2s 5000mah 30C lipos.I might be wrong.If I am,please correct me.

didnt u bribe the officer?

Yeah.Planning to take it to the ground.I am just afraid of the people that will be ready to mob me and ask a thousand questions.I just hate it.

I got my slash from Jayanth of throttlerc.He is the OFFICIAL distributor of traxxas in Karnataka and the south.

This happened when i tried to fly my rubber glider so you can imagine your state Even i would plunder you with questions if i were to see it
Try sunday early mornings. Playing grounds should be free early morning. If you have any school groung nearby take perm from the authorities to use it early Morning. I doubt they will have a prob.
I am a rc and real car lover just that my parents arnt

I wouldn't mind being asked questions by you.You must know most of the answers already.

There are some people who get irritating after a while.And since I look 'unnaturally fair',the next question will be,"Which country are you from?".My answer varies from "Africa" to "Antarctica"

And I hate crowds.as they say,'Two is company,three is a crowd'

Haha true Look for a ground and try morning time. You have your bro for company also. Any plans for upgrages like lighting?

That's true.. Living in an appt., I got all kinds of questions varying from, "How fast does it go?" or "How much did it cost?" and even a "Can I try?"
