Perfect upgrade to the original slash that was well worth the wait for anyone who wants more performance for less money! All included parts are cleanly fabricated and fit together perfectly during assembly. While transferring original parts I had to force some parts to line up holes but once bolts were started everything lined up cleanly. Once together it looks great, feels tighter and lighter than the original set up.
The LCG chassis kit should be at the top of your 2WD Slash upgrade list. Performance is GREATLY improved and it looks alot nicer, too. Not difficult to install, but will take a little time. Well worth the time and money invested. Would recommend this to anyone still driving a Slash with an original "high center of gravity" chassis.
Brandon fix ur rating. The servo is laid on its side and is sandwiched between the main LCG piece and the small LCG piece that attaches to the front, no more servo hole required. Best LCG chassis at any $$. Everything fits together like a glove. Only issue to be aware of is if u run the battery extended mod TRA5827X. With a severe impact to the front of the vehicle the chassis can flex slightly causing the metal tab, the battery bar is clipped to, to bend or break. If it breaks you may find yourself buying the main chassis piece over again.
Best upgrade you can buy for the slash. Helps handling tremendously and looks much nicer than the Hcg kit.
Amazing product, easy to install and greatly improves the performance of the stock slash.
Reviewers overwhelmingly praise the LCG conversion for Traxxas Slash 2WD, citing much improved handling, reduced flipping and rolling, and a lower centre of gravity that suits both racing and bashing. Most describe assembly as manageable but time-consuming, with the parts fitting well once bolts are started. Recurring complaints include some holes or screws not lining up at first, a few reviewers reporting missing screws, and one noting a servo mount sagging after a screw would not fit. One reviewer reported a battery-bar tab breaking when used with an extended battery mod after a severe front impact. A lower-rated review asked whether the steering servo mounting differs from the original, which is not answered in the other reviews.
