This red mower benefits from the following attention: authentic (cool) Mark The Main Mayng Jenkins racing scheme, specially cut fenders to fit larger tires, and all else is absolute stock from the factory.

TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 w/TSM w/OBA

At the heart of each model, this is what you’ll find when you lift the hood and kick the tires.

Summary of This Radio Controlled Truck/Car Platform

Quite possibly the toughest most durable RC car ever built. Upgrades well, and offers plenty of options for performance upgrades that don’t cost much. Stock repairs are also super-affordable (key to my choice for an Ultimate RC Edition – what’s the best combo of everything for ~$420). As another URCG Edition Rebuild where the stock mounts were maintained, and fenders cut to fit massive tires under it. RCRobbie insists you take your vehicle’s shoe style seriously!

As a side note – Larry is dear to me. Because of Larry The Lawnmower I discovered the joy of OBA. It was the first car I decided to buy after much comparative analysis. Getting it and using it with the sound that really took me by surprise… was like drinking water with sawdust for a decade, and then having someone shove three Blow Pops in your mouth at once for the perfect sweet surprise candy cocktail drool!

I love nitro, the smell is dope and the noise is good (until your muffler fails – not so good then). The nitro versus electric WITH ENGINE SOUND ONLY mean this is the future – mine at least. It’s a glimpse of what electric cars on the road will have – well sort of. I have a few hunches how it will and can change for pedestrian avoidance and driver enjoyment, but we’ll all just have to wait and see a similar vision is in every major auto company right now under development. If not – it should be!
I guess soon in street it will be, “pump up that jam and turn up the volume on my engine too – I want to at least sound fast!” I’d love to shake THAT Traxxas engineers hand… (Note: safety feature of the future – make the engine sound loud and roar when people do 40 – they’ll think they are doing 100mph. No tickets – slower drivers all over – win-win!)

I have added lights to good ole Larry shortly after the tire mods. That was fun, but there are so many ways to do it. I’ll post something on how I did it to look modern and sick at night. Watch out – Larry is cuttin’ though! Watch those gras blades fly as Mr. Monster wheels on by…
