Slash 4x4 tuning for the outdoor track




I’ve been running my Slash at the outdoor park track and it’s been fun.  Ran into the guy who built it and learned a bit about its history and such.  Really nice guy.

Did some testing, and my indoor clay setup definitely does not work.  Dropped spring rate to SCTE blue front and SCTE green rear, and it’s close, probably still a little oversprung.  Over-damped as well, gonna dropto 27.5w 1.5 piston front and 25w 1.5 piston rear.  Also need to add a few more mm of ride height.

Pro-line Calibers work well in really loose stuff, like a BMX park or a baseball diamond, but this is too hard-packed and clean.  Going to try AKA Wishbones, which is the next step down in pins, but I really should get a set of dedicated hard-packed tires, like Proline Holeshots.

It’s been fun converting my Slash into an outdoor track basher.
