THE ROGUE SLASH ----------- BY GUTSLAYER

oh wow thats impressive man, looks like its ready for anything! awesome awesome build

pretty nice for someone who's slash I have always been wondering about (always seen references to your truck, but nothing about your truck)

heh thanks guys, i appreciate it, hoping to grab some more pictures of the car tomorrow as well as some action shots.. unless something breaks first lol :P

i'll also be able to finally test the double acting cylinders! i'm rather excited.

yea sorry about the delay, not a lot of free time as a 4th year engineering student

wow, cool slash! I am surprised that you have not broken the stock castor blocks yet, especially on brushless. That was the first thing to break on my slash and back then it was brushed.

And one on the castor blocks

Very nice truck. How are the bodies holding up ?

Nice slash!

Looking good Gutslayer!

How does it drive? (I'm sure nothing like when it was a new box stocker...hahahaha)

slash bash: haha i know, i take pride in my stock castor blocks
they are to the point where i don't want to replace them and see how long they actually last lol

bigdodge44150: Well my Monster Energy body has seen better days, my LHS actually sold me the wrong body paint to paint my car with... So as soon as I started to cut it out, the paint instantly chipped off, I instantly drove back and the manager said, "Oh well you didn't tell me it was for a body, hurr hurr hurr!" and continued to BS me, ever since, significant portions of paint have chipped off and keep chipping... so i went to this Flotek body. Today is the first day it'll be used, so i'll be able to let you know after!

indy34096: thanks a lot man

Claymore5150: Heh yea nothing like box. The car practically never ever rolls, so when it does, I stand there and go hmmm... that's weird, ha. I have yet to use it with the dual suspension reservoirs and steering mod, so i have no idea how it'll drive :P but i'm excited! the steer is maxxed mechanically, and physically can't turn anymore, your idea was practically flawless.

Gutslayer, Truck is lookin good. Did you x nae the MIP's?
