Racing Slash

[Beane_O]

Question. I know they are restricted on the rules for racing stock slash trucks but if you use the stuff that came with the truck or change the wheels, that would be okay, correct? Also, the freakin trucks wheel wells drag against the tires when breaking and turning. Is there any way to fix this with out modifying the shell (ie trimming the finders) and not get in trouble?

Just askin is all.

Here's the basics for the local tracks around here. I think it's pretty much the same across the country though.

Slash Spec Racing League (S.S.R.L.)
Traxxas Slash CORR Spec Racer Class Rules

The following rules will be implemented to keep the vehicles in this class to an absolute minimum cost with little extra investment, doing so will keep the level of competition as close as possible. The goal of the S.S.R.L. is to create fun racing for new and existing R/C Off-Road Racers. These rules are devised to be used as a basis to start developing the class for all types of Racers.

just realized the Slash comes with some plastic washers that can be placed on the tabs under the she'll to help raise it above the wheels with modifying the shell.
That should meet specs for racing correct? It does come with the truck.

My mom used to always say:

If you dont say anything about it, nobody will even notice. 

*I had a couple of little tricks for the tire scrub you speak of.

well you can always fit a 645 servo inside the traxxas blue case, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
