I charged up the included 7-cell NiMH battery pack and hit the dirt. The Ultimate version includes softer tires, anti-roll bars, Traxxas’ powerful Velineon brushless system and a plethora of blue aluminum goodies. To keep things relatively fair, I opted to use a Traxxas’ Slash 4×4 Ultimate. To keep accurate readings of my laps, I installed my AMB personal transponder on the exact same location on both trucks. These are the times I’d be shooting for with both trucks. Fast laps were in the mid-20 second range with a hero lap being a 19.4. To get a baseline for the test, I took a look at the lap times posted from the Pro 4 class a couple days prior. This track always has great layouts that feature jumps, dips, berms, washboard sections and a LONG straightaway! This is the perfect place to test the 4×4’s to see what they can do in stock and modified trim. So, for RC Short Course Driver Volume 3, it was only fitting that I do the same comparison…but with the Traxxas Slash 4×4!įor the 2WD comparison, I tested at OCRC Raceway in Huntington Beach, California. As you would expect, while the stock Slash put down some pretty good laps, the modified version was quite a bit faster around our test track. In RC Short Course Driver Volume 2, I had the opportunity to compare a stock Traxxas Slash against a fully-modified, race-prepped Slash.
