What parts break the most on a Traxxas Slash?

Front shock shafts, rear stub axles, rear holes in stock body, suspension arms, all bearings, pinion gear, keep your eyes on the motor bearings, rear bearing carriers.

How much oil do I put in my Traxxas shocks?

The precision-pour, twist-nozzle cap makes it quick and easy to fill shock bodies, without all the mess. The large 2 fl. oz bottle size is enough to fill all four shocks on most models.

What shock oil should I use?

The shock oil you will use depends on the type of RC car in which it will be used. Both motor oil and silicone-based oil can be used, but silicone-based oil is the best choice for most RC cars.

Can you change springs on a Traxxas slash?

The heart of any suspension system is the shock absorbers, and the Slash’s shocks are fully tunable. Although springs of different rates can be installed, most tracks’ stock-Slash rules do not permit spring changes.

What makes a Traxxas slash a better RC car?

The front end of the Slash is much lighter than the rear end. This allows a lighter damping setup to be used up front to balance out the overall feel and sets the chassis up nicely in the corners. The 60wt oil in the rear shocks provides ample ‘pack’ for jump landings and keeps chassis roll to a minimum.

What makes tuning a Traxxas suspension so effective?

Effective tuning is a lot like scientific experimentation, in that controlling the variables is key. Make one tuning adjustment, test it, assess the change in performance, then readjust and test again until you stop seeing a beneficial effect.

What kind of diff fluid do you use on a Traxxas slash?

The thick fluid will not escape as easily, and when only a small amount is used, the results can be very effective without being too tight. I use 300Kwt diff fluid in the diff. Remove the factory grease from inside the diff case using a rag, and apply a small amount (approx 25% to 30% full) of 300Kwt diff fluid to the gears inside of the case.
