#Traxxas slash ultimate factory shock wight upgrade

Thats on a day with about 80 degree ambiant air.Ī bunch of guys I race with have the same motor/ESC combo and they use a boost setting for better top end and is what I will be doing aswell. With the 83/26 my temps are 140 for 5min heats, and 160 for 10min heats. The point is I retarded the timing a bit for a little better torque and a little lower temps since my gearing is 83spur 26 pinion. This may or may not work for you since you have a much nicer ESC than mine. I also retarded the ballistics static timing to 25* and my ESC is crap but it has In front I use either the smallest spacer or no spacer trying to level the arms. Then put just enough spacers in the rear to level the arms. I also moved the rear lower shock mount to the 2 or 3 hole from the tire side of the arm. I am running 40wt oil in front and 50wt oil in rear. Since I dont know how much you know about the slash forgive me if this info is in real basic terms.įirst thing I would do if the slash is still stock is run stiffer suspension. am also running a slash with a ballistic 17.5. Hi looking for a good basic set up for a track like this its a stock slash with a tekin rs and novak ballistic 17.5 please help me help my son thanks in advance This keeps the shaft from over extending and popping off the shock caps. I use fuel tubing and make it long enough that when the chassis hits the ground the fuel tubing is hitting the bottom of the shock. The only ones I have ever had any problems with are the stock Slash shocks that tend to bend shock shafts because of the huge amounts of travel or popped a shock top which I never had happen as soon as I put 4mm spacers on the outside of the shock shaft to limit the up travel some. I have not broken 4 shocks in a year let along 6 weeks. If he is on his 4th set in 6 weeks something is just not right. Not sure how you can blow out that type of shock any ways. I have had mine on for weeks with no leaks and never had a blow out. Go with the losi shocks.Funny how some people have problems and some don't. He keeps sending them back and they keep sending him new ones. He lasts longer with stock traxxas shocks than the prolines. Our number one 4x4 guy at our track is on his 4th set in 6 weeks. Overall these are a very nice set of quality shocks from Traxxas.Avoid the prolines. This results in better cornering while preserving the slashes scale looks with regards to body role and suspension movement. Also one thing to note is the included progressive rate springs are stiffer then the stock Slash progressive rate springs. Performance wise the bigbore shocks are similar to the stock Ultra shocks but with stronger parts and reduced friction. This prevents the o-rings from being torn and causing the oil to leak out. Longer service life, stronger shock bodies and shafts and scratch resistant coating applied to the shock shaft.

Very good upgrade for your Slash or whatever else these shocks will fit. Overall these are a very nice set of quality shocks from Traxxas.
