i got 2 sets to use on my oval slash 1 set is for a backup since i have bent 3 sets of stock pins in 4 months with racing. these seem to be holding up better then the stock ones and i like they don't back out because there is a locking nut on the other side. but only time will tell if they are better then the stock one
the pins are 1 to 2 mm longer than stock Traxxas pins. need to use spacers from servo kit.
The pins only fit the inside of the arms on the newer VX3 slashes. Good fit, but too short for the outer hinge
Three reviews of this Traxxas Slash hinge-pin set give mixed but generally positive feedback. One owner using the set on an oval Slash reports that stock pins bent repeatedly during racing, while these appear to hold up better, though long-term durability is not yet established. The locking nut on the far side is noted as preventing the pins from backing out. Two reviewers report fit issues: one says the pins are 1 to 2 mm longer than stock and required spacers from the servo kit, while another says the pins fit the inside arms on newer VX3 Slashes but are too short for the outer hinge. Fit appears to depend on chassis version.
