Ups

I'll have to cut the mount off and perhaps fit the Nitro Rustler suspension mounts


Morten

I fixed it

Cut the old mount of and made an alloy brace to hold the housing together


I used SRT/Nitro Rustler mounts in stead








Morten

I'm liking the separate mounts alot better

Todd

I'm not sure how you're attaching the control arm mounts, but I'd recommend using threadlocked nuts & bolts, not self-tapping screws...I'm thinking self-tapping screws, especially when installed from beneath, will eventually result in the mounts shearing off from the forces they're subjected to. Just a thought.

@ Todd
It was either that or mill a new gearbox

It's 7mm narrower like this,
I only need to sand a bit more off the chassis and mount's so the arms can move freely
and then I can test it to see if this will alter the handling too much

@ Coelacanth
I use the standard 4mm countersunk screws
This method has worked for years on the TRX-3, SRT and lately, the Nitro Rustler
If they come loose I can use a longer screw and nut

like I do on my RC10T Hybrid

Proline sure loves the Slash....

Other than the chassis, is there anything they don't make for it?

It's already on my wishlist

Here's the buggy after I tested it with the new rear mounts









Morten

aaahhh....an update. Good to see you still workin away at it. Any news on the original cage ?

Todd

Sure Todd
it's in my work shop ...And I finally got around to buying resin and fibreglass mats


But more important, I got my daughter an E-Maxx and AX10



Here She is driving mine






Me jumping Her AX10


Morten

Very cool!!! I can't wait till my kids are long enough to have their own hobby grade RCs My son has the hang of back and forth, but still can't really do the steering.

The AX10 is a cool ideal, slow and controllable.

Most of the time I end up with the AX10 and She's bashing my E-Maxx
She wants Her E-Maxx to be faster then mine
