February 23, 2013
This is my very first ride with my new Traxxas Slash 4x4 with 2.4 Ghz RC and Velenion 3500 brushless motor.
I have no RC experience to speak of, this Slash impressed me...
I got the version with the #24 Mark Jenkins body.
Looking forward to warmer weather as it's freezing overhere in the Netherlands...
March 8-9-10, 2013
T-bone Slash 4x4 servo guard bought at www.localhopupshop.nl
Driveshaft mod to keep most of the dirt and debris out
My 2nd and 3rd run with this short course truck
Saturday March 9th out in the field, sandy area like the Sahara, former military training area, open to the public and a flock of sheep
Sunday March 10th out on a grass court covered with a bit of snow (village green), in the centre of the village where I grew up
Really like this Traxxas Slash 4x4 but needs a few improvements. Ordered a sway bar kit and other tyres.
Also ordered two new boddies from my localhopupshop, a Jconcepts Illuzion 2012 Ford F250 Superduty XLT and a Jconcepts illuzion Chevy Silverado 1500 High Flow and a Jconcepts Illuzion Slash 4x4 Overtray and paint.

Guido is an experienced RC'er and owned a few nitro's in the past.
Unfortunately it's hard to find an area to ride a nitro in the urban area where we live: results in noise complaints all the time.
Luckily lots of nearby areas where we can have fun with low noise electric powered RC cars...
Spring is around the corner: track footage will be next ;-)
Traxxas Slash 4x4 (My 4th run, am still an RC Noob)
My RC buddy Guido's Slash and mine on a sunny but cold and windy Tuesday, April 2nd 2013 in Zaandam (near Amsterdam), the Netherlands, Europe.
We had fun this afternoon, pitty the off-road track we went to first was occupied.
We switched to road tires and went to a parking lot and after that went to a nearby soccer training field where riding w. road tires felt like ice skating ;-)
Both cars with a Ford lexan body
Guido's Slash: Pro-Line Ford F 150 Raptor Flo Tec body
My Slash: Jconcepts Illuzion 2012 Ford F250 Superduty XLT
All bought at my fav rc store www.localhopupshop.nl
What will the next upgrade be...
Better shocks and springs?
At the moment no Lipo, have to wax in wax out a lot more first
Oops, mentioned in the vid we both used LouiseRC Pioneer SC wheels but Guido' used Pro-Line Street Fighters
