Along with the steps required to install the kit, we’ll examine how lowering your truck’s CG transforms its handling dynamics. One exception is the Traxxas Slash 4 X 4, which in stock form offers high ground clearance for all-terrain running but can be configured for a dramatically lower CG with the installation of Traxxas’ Low-CG conversion kit (#7421). But if a low CG is so important to four-wheeled performance, why don’t we talk much here in the pages of RCCA about lowering a car’s CG? Simple: CG is not adjustable, and most cars are already designed to have the lowest possible CG. That goes for linebackers, ocean liners, hockey players, and of course, cars-full size, radio control, racing, or passenger. That about sums it up, and that’s why a low center of gravity (CG for short) is essential to anything and anyone that doesn’t want to tip over. Low center of gravity = tougher to top over. Traxxas did an amazing job with it and we hope you enjoyed the review.Words by Devon Stewart Low center of gravity, high-performance handling With a nicely built frame and excellent technology specs it's one of the top players in the market. The price might be a bit expensive for some but we believe the benefits out weight the price. It was one of the best trucks we have ever tried out. So far we definitely loved the Traxxas Slash 4x4. One of the major differences between these models is the price, battery and radio. Well it's course there is two types out there such as the Traxxas Slash Platinum and the Traxxas Slash Ultimate. You might have already heard of a certain Slash before. Personally unless you're using it to race you should be fine with a 3S however if you are planning on racing with it then definitely try out a 3S lipo. You could also possibly try switching the NiMH batteries to a 3S lipo battery. The power system would also be another possible change you could make. If you want to increase the speed you might consider changing out the motor for a Titan 12T. The shocks are perhaps one of the most popular upgrades you'll find among other hobbyist. Here are some of the basic upgrades you can make on it. Here at RCJudge we love to go into detail about everything and this review wouldn't be complete without talking about some of the possible upgrades. The 4x4 uses a Velineon 3500 Brushless motor. It has a Velineon VXL-3s Electronic Speed Control. The digital high torque allows you to have precise control over it and make quick decisions at a moments notice. What Does The Slash Come With? - It comes with sealed electronics technology helping them stay safe from the elements which allows you to have more fun without being to worried about them getting damaged With a 4 amp peak power charger that uses a 12 Volt DC power outlet. The battery and the charger: The Slash 4x4 comes with a iD equipped NiMH battery. The best part is that it doesn't affect you're battery life in any way. Based on you're preference you can either tune it or completely turn it off. TSM (Traxxas Stability Management): Thanks to the TSM you are capable of using it rougher surfaces and in slippery ones too. See what we mean when we say it has the best technology you would want in an rc truck? Using the wireless link model it becomes possible to tune up you're truck right from the conveniance of you're iPhone or android. Known as the TQI it controls over 12 different things on the Slash. T he Transmitter : According to Traxxas "The Worlds Most Advanced RTR Radio System". So no fun or speed must be sacrificed in order to control it. Wether you're an expert or a beginner this remote control truck has a specialized TSM to allow you to have completely control of it even at high speeds.
