and carefully pull the diff case halves apart. Work over a towel

to collect any fluid that drips from the differential.

6. Drain the fluid from the differential. You may wish to remove

the spider gears from the differential to make this easier.

7. Place the spider gears back into the diff case, if you removed

them. Fill the diff case with fluid until the spider gears are

submerged half way.

8. Rejoin the diff case halves, using care to align the screw holes.

Be sure the rubber gasket is in place, or the differential may leak.

9. Install the 2.5x8mm screws and tighten securely.

10. Reinstall the differential by reversing steps 1-4.

Basic and Advanced Suspension Tuning

Adjusting Rear Toe-In

Toe-in refers to the angle of the wheels as viewed

from above. You will notice that the Slash 4x4’s

rear wheels point inward slightly, which aids in

stability. This is called toe-in and is measured in

degrees. If the wheels point straight ahead, parallel

with the chassis’ centerline, then the wheels have

“zero toe-in.” The Slash 4x4 Platinum Edition is

equipped with aluminum rear stub axle carriers that provide 4° of

rear toe-in. You will note that the axle carriers are labeled “L” and

“R,” to indicate left and right. The axle carriers may installed on the

opposite sides (L on the right side, R on the left side) to provide 1°

of toe-in. Slash 4x4 Platinum Edition also includes the plastic rear

stub axle carriers as used on the standard Slash 4x4, which offer

2.5° of toe-in. They can be installed on either side of the truck, they

are not left/right specific.

In general, increasing toe-in improves stability, while reducing

toe-in may help “loosen up” the truck’s handling to improve

corner speed, especially on high-grip tracks. Experiment to see

what works best for your track and driving style.

Gearing

One of the more significant advantages to your model’s

transmission is the extremely wide range of available gear

ratios. Changing the gearing allows you to fine tune the speed

of the model and control the temperatures of the battery pack

and motor. From the factory, Slash 4x4 Platinum Edition has

a 13-tooth (13T) pinion and 54T spur gear. This gear ratio was

chosen for best all-around performance. An optional 18T pinion

is also included. The 18T pinion gear is intended for high-speed

running on hard surfaces, and this gearing is not recommended

for off-road use or repetitive starting and stopping.

Painting the Body

Note: Please read this entire section and plan your paint job

before beginning.

Buying Paint

The body supplied with your model is molded from lightweight

and durable clear polycarbonate. It should be painted on the

underside so that the color will not be scratched off while

running. The best way to paint the body is by using thinned

paints sprayed through an airbrush or spray gun. If you do not

have these tools, the next best way is using spray can paints.

Whatever paint you use, be sure that it is made for painting

Lexan® or polycarbonate. Other types of paints and solvents can

attack the body material and cause it to appear foggy.

Preparing the Body

The body must be washed thoroughly with dish soap and water

to remove any grease or oil (i.e., fingerprints), which may keep

the paint from adhering to it. Dry the body completely with a

soft, lint-free cloth. Use the supplied masks to mask the windows.

Mask off any stripes or custom effects with either masking tape

or special tape made for striping. This special tape is available

from automotive paint supply stores and will provide sharper

edges than masking tape. For easy, custom-colored striping,

automotive pin-striping tape can be applied to the inside of the

body and painted over. Be sure that all of your tape and masks

are fully pressed down (burnished) so that the paint will not run

or bleed underneath. Usually, the darker colors are painted first,

followed by the lighter colors. If your paint scheme would be

easier to mask by covering the dark areas and spraying them

last, be sure the lighter colors are opaque enough to prevent the

darker color from showing through. Lighter colors can be backed

with silver to help make them opaque.

Spraying the Body

Read the directions on your bottle or can of paint and shake,

mix, or thin the paint, as required. It is very important to avoid

breathing the paint vapors, as they are extremely harmful. Spray

the paint outdoors in well-ventilated areas only. Apply the paint

to the body sparingly and in light coats. Be patient! Let the

paint dry fully in between coats. This will prevent accidentally

smearing wet paint. Take extra care when masks are being

removed. After the body is completely painted, remove the peel

coat from the outside of the body.

Decals

You are now ready to apply the decals.

The decals have been die-cut for your

convenience. Test the position of the

decals before applying them to the body.

Once the decals have been applied, they

cannot be removed without damaging

them. You can spray the body with

window cleaner before applying the

decals. This will allow you to re-position

them. Once positioned, squeegee the

cleaner from under the decal. The decal

will adhere when it dries. If you have

air bubbles in the decals, puncture the center of each bubble

with a sharp pin and push the air out. If you have creases along

the outer edges of a decal (especially when applied to curved

surfaces), use a hobby knife to cut along the top of the crease

and overlap the edges.
