In this episode I’ll take you through a complete change of bearings on my Traxxas Slash 4X4, well complete if you don’t count the 2 bearings in the motor. The episode is also filled with tips on what kind of bearings to choose for your truck.
I KNOW GUYS, my Slash is rusty from all the water it’s been pulled through, but no worries, that is easily fixed with some q-tips, wd-40 and a protective coat of oil.
DISCLAIMER: Strong Norwegian accent alert! When a Norwegian says «caster links» he’s trying to say «camber links». In the heat of the filming some RC parts are named with funny names, but the most important thing is that you can see what and how to do the maintenance job on your Slash… right?
