This upgrade really improved the handling and drivability of the 2WD Slash. It really opened up the car, and the LiPO battery is easier to charge for me at least.

A surprise – 2WD Slash

As I get more hours and battery packs on the Slash project car, I find that it is becoming a favorite. Simple, easy to understand, and surprisingly fun to drive.

In the last post, I mentioned that I was going to put my money where my mouth is. I recommend for new RC drivers to strongly consider the Traxxas Slash, in the two wheel drive variant. A base 2WD Slash, brushed, retails for a nickel under $180. Of course you need to add a battery to that, or you can spend the additional $50 and get the version with an included charger and NiMH battery pack.

Sourdough is daunting for those new to baking, but it isn't difficult, nor is it as fragile as many think. Here I dispel (I hope) some of the myths surrounding kick-ass sourdough.

Putting my money where my mouth is. I recommend the Traxxas Slash entry level model as a good starting point for getting into RC cars. Follow my journey
