![]() ![]() I cut 20mm from both halves, using a pipe cutter worked nice and kept a clean edge. Not to worry – there’s a cheaper and easier solution: cut the stock Slash 4×4 telescoping driveshafts. This would mean also switching to Bandit diff output yokes and stub axles – the latter of which I wasn’t sure was going to fit in the Slash 4×4 bearing carriers. RC Driver explains and shows it very nicely here: I planned on switching to Bandit axles, but it turns out the cross pins on the Bandit universal joints are smaller diameter than what comes on a Slash. I used a Dremel and two attachments to make these changes: a 409 Cut-Off wheel and a 430 Sanding Drum. You can see here how it dips below the caster block support: Removing the forward arm link material allowed the suspension to droop much further without binding. I also used a sanding drum to remove some material from the top of the forward arm link so it wouldn’t rub inside the caster block. I trimmed off much of the bridging near the wheel side of the suspension arm using a cut-off wheel, leaving just a small amount. If you’ve got the aluminum 6832X caster blocks you may not need to trim as much – as always, your mileage may vary. To get the bandit arms to fit in the Slash 4×4 front caster blocks (6832) and retain full suspension travel, I had to cut and trim some things. Here you can see two sets of Bandit arms compared to the original Brushed 4×4 Slash arms: So we have some width we can add if need be. Just by making this switch we’re going to remove 50mm of overall width, bringing it from 296mm wide to potentially 246mm – less than the goal of 249mm. ![]() If you’ve got more arm lengths to add to that list, please comment below.īandit arms are 67mm wide, while the stock Slash 4×4 arms are 92mm.
