Building Tips: Traxxas Slash 2WD Battery Placement adjustment

By Team STRC, May 1, 2010 5:12 pm

One very simple way to adjust the handling and weight bias on your Slash 2WD would be to cut the foam battery piece in half and placing them at each end of the battery in different quantities.  For more steering you can move all the foam pieces behind the battery (towards the rear of the truck) and thus putting the battery weight more forward.

Or you can put the foams in front of the battery and put more weight towards the rear of the truck for more rear traction

but by cutting the foam piece in half, you can have a weight distribution of something in between all the way forward and all the way back:

This is a very simple modification that can have a huge effect on the handling of your truck and performance on the track.  You can even cut the foam pieces in 1/3 increments for even more finite adjustments
