If you been running your Traxxas Slash for awhile, you might notice a squeeky sound as you compress the front suspension.  This might be caused by a small binding between the front inner suspension and the fiberglass hinge-pin brace.  In stock form, the fiberglass brace is bit of a tight fit on the hinge-pins, and over time, with dirt and debris getting in between the brace and the hinge-pins, some binding and squeeky sound might appear.

One trick to remedy this would be to take a reamer and slightly clean up the hinge-pin hole of the fiberglass brace.  Because it is made of fiberglass, you will notice small pieces of fiber in the holes for the hinge-pin.  Taking a reamer to clean that up and making sure the hole is perfectly round will go a long way to prevent any binding of the front suspension.  Even a body reamer will work well in this application.
