OK due to popular demand I am posting a build thread for thr Traxxas Slash to MT conversion. This has been done with both the 2wd and 4wd versions. This is hands down the most fun vehicle I have owned and is sooo simple to do. I sold my 10lb. ERevo brushless edition (76.7mph)and now solely own slashes. My son and I have 2 2wd and 2 4wd slashes and 3 of them are MT's. The reason for these conversions is because I simply wanted a 35-40mph monster truck that was super reliable and durable. This all started with my stampede. I wanted a longer wheel-base but equal durability. So I unbolted the pede chassis and installed a slash chassis. The bodies that fit are just about any long wheelbase truck body(3.3 revo, erevo, savage x, etc....).
2wd-parts needed-2.2 or 2.8 in. rims/tires with 12mm hex(offset should be nitro rears for max width), body, longer front body post, and for me Brushless.
The only thing that needs to be done besides installing the above mentioned items is adding another spacer or two to each shock. A recommend upgrade is the FLM cvd's. A recommended gearing with the Traxxas VXL system is 14-16T pinion and 90t spur (keeping temps and runtime in mind).
I recently purchased my son a 2wd slash with the 2.4g radio and after selling off the items I don't need it ended up costing me about $40.00 for the roller. With the vxl system I like to run a 2s lipo and get speeds between 35 and 40.
Here are some pics.
Proline f250 body, moab 2.2 tires, rpm 2.2 wheels
HPI Savage body, hpi 2.2 wheels, hpi 2.2 mud thrasher tires
Proline f250 body, Imex claw dawg 2.8 tires, proline 2.8 torque wheels My sons
The 2 2wd's together
