[mjbtaco]

Looks nice man, cant wait to see what you think about it.

[mjbtaco]

thanks man. my initial thoughts are that it is very very nice. the quality is great. im sure it will handle well too :)

[oreo31]

looks amazing! those anza kits are sweet looking.

What akerman arm are you running with the Proline steering kit??

[mjbtaco]

Its not a pro-line steering kit. Its a complete hot racing set up. Very nice piece :)

[brushlessguy]

That is a nice piece. I like the adjustability of the steering links on the ackerman arm. Looks alot like the proline kit

[Genghis Ken]

What springs are you running on your Power Strokes?

[mjbtaco]

Running the proline rear springs in the front and losi blue springs in the rear. No dual rate springs.

[mjbtaco]

got the protrac specific 17mm hubs from pro-line for the build. the aka hubs just made it too wide for use with a standard sc body. It was pretty hard finding the rears since they are discontinued but i got em.

[brushlessguy]

So have you had any wheel time with it yet, how does she handle and most importantly, turn??

[mjbtaco]

No unfortunately I havent. I will be running this sunday at WCRC I might race this so we'll see.

Do you have a length of the Lunsford tie rods you used for you build? I'm going to switch mine over eventually to ball cups like you have yours setup. Very nice and even more free than the stock linkage setup.

Not 100% sure but they are a bit long for the stock or rpm arms. they work perfectly with the protrac arms.

they are off of a blitz ese and you can find them complete with ball studs and cups on ebay.

here is a listing i found, not sure if these come with the ball studs or not.

Thankyou. That is awesome you can just use the ESE length tie rods which will make them pretty easy to get. Guess I need to put them on order for my Slash.

Another question I was going to ask for after you run your truck is how you like the spring combo your trying. Which color spring did you use for the front out of the Proline springs? I see what your using in the rear so I might put my Prolines back on with this new spring combo to see how they feel overall. One last thing is what oils combo did you try with this setup.

I'm really working overtime on my 2wd Slash for this upcoming fall and have been trying all kinds of combos from my own oil and spring setup to some other combos that other Slash racers are trying.

I always have my LCG Slash SC for the season but I normally have another brand as well for a cushion which I might not do this year and do 100% LCG Slash.

Really like the steering wrack setup you went with. Looks excellent along with the rest of your truck.

Thanks
Brian

The stock slash turnbuckle setup just isnt working for me anymore so im wanted to go with the blitz turnbuckles, which ball studs are you using? thanks, great build BTW.

Brian,

Flip the adjustment ring on the Proline shocks, use the Traxxas upper spring seat along with the 22 lower spring cup. The 22 cup will compress and fit easier into the Losi springs.

Right now we are at 2.5" Silver (3.4) rear and 2" Green (3.5) front. In at both tops, in at the front lower, and 3rd from out on the rear... we have a lot of big technical jumps ar our local track and need the droop.

[Bserious]

Also if you don't want all the droop from the up front and have a ride height you are after with the Prolines try mounting the upper fronts in the OEM location on the shock tower with a spacer and longer bolt.

[Bserious]

Would anyone know the diameter of the ESE shafts and threads? I just don't dig the white plastic and would go after some blacky's. Possible RPM SC10 ball cups if they would fit. Yeah picky picky...

Awesome. Thankyou. Will try that combo and see how it feels and give it a test run when we set our offroad back up next week.
