The gearbox of your used Truck should be opened up to check for gear wear and lubrication. If you intend to race your Slash 4x4 Truck model at a competitive level, I would also recommend you obtain and fit titanium pivot shafts, turnbuckles, tie rods and steering rods. The steel shafts wear and bend too easily. Drive Shafts and TurnbucklesĮxamine the drive shafts for wear and replace as required. Also, for added protection and if available for your Slash 4x4 model, fit an under guard to stop dirt and gravel entering the chassis.
If the body shell of your Traxxas Slash 4x4 is broken, ripped or damaged in any way, this can be easily repaired with rubber solution glue. If they are scratched, change them as soon as possible. At the same time, change the O-Ring seals to prevent more leakage. If you feel a jolt as you change direction, this means the oil has leaked out and must be topped up. The damper shafts should push in and pull out with a smooth action. Next, for those Traxxas models with oil filled shock absorbers, remove them from the chassis and dismantle the coil springs. Then, take a screwdriver and box spanner and check each self tapping screw and nut for security, taking care not to over tighten. When you receive your used Traxxas Truck, make a general visual inspection of the chassis, front and rear wishbones, suspension shock towers etc, for any broken parts that may need to be replaced. With an instruction manual, any problems with your model Truck you may discover, can easily be fixed. If not supplied with your purchase, they can often be downloaded from the Traxxas website, or purchased separately on eBay. Personally, I used to get a buzz out of restoring an old clapped-out model, installing modern day electrics and maybe a few hop-ups, then showing the gang at our local club, just how competitive those old models could still be.Ĭheap, pre-loved bargain models, parts and spares are always coming up for sale, but once you have made your purchase, the one thing you will always need, is an instruction manual.
