So, after having my Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL TSM for about 2 years and only driving it three times, I took it down to the beach with us this past weekend and had a total blast with it.
I have now hooked again. With the 2S 6500MAH Batteries I am getting to around 60kmph and with the traction control, I am getting the most epic drifts. I did get some video I was going to share but my son had a hard time keeping the camera on the car it was moving so fast.
I am considering 3S batteries which would get me to nearly 100 kmph. I am super impressed with how robust this thing is, I have had some epic crashes and rolls in it, still looks nearly new. :)
Cleaning the sand out of it was surprisingly easy. I wouldn't say I got every grain out, but I was as careful as I could be not to have it get into the water, though I did end up in very shallow water and had a water plume following it down the beach that was well over my head. I was gutted I didn't get that on camera.
Wondering how many others have a similar interest?
I am particularly interested in bashing locations in Central ish Auckland.
