MudBoss Racing
S.B.Webb’s Traxxas Mudboss Conversion

My favorite Class to Race is Mudboss…Highly Competitive and a Low Cost to Race R/C Vehicle…

TRAXXAS SLASH TO MUDBOSS CONVERSION

YOU START WITH A TRAXXAS SLASH PART NUMBER 58034

I have Bought Slash Sliders off of Ebay that had the LCG Chassis for a lower Cost…

S.B.Webb
Sold on Ebay…To Help you Get a great Start on the build…$189.77

What you Will Need to Do this Conversion …

1. MUDboss Body…We Used a Crazy Daves 2019 Mudboss Body…

2.You Will Need A LCG Chassis

Traxxas Slash LCG Chassis Part# TRA5830..We Chose Black …IRaceRC.com

The LCG Chassis Lowers the Center Of Gravity and Allows the Mudboss To Go through the Corners A lot Faster…

3. Body Mounts for Center of Traxxas Mudboss

CRC Long 4 Inch Body Post Set w/Collars …We chose CRC.. 8 years on the #44 Mudboss and Still there Working Like they Should..

5.Upgrade the Steering Servo

SAVOX SC-0252MG. Our Choice …Race Proven…The Traxxas 2075 Servo is good but when it fails upgrade to the Savox…

6.Upgraded the Steering Bellcrank

TTraxxas Steering Bellcrank Set part# TRA6845X

The Traxxas Steering Bellcrank Set is a great upgrade to take the slop out of the Steering …With the Savox Servo Upgrade this makes the Steering more Consistent.

7. Tire & WHEELS Choice

Jaco Mudboss Foam Tires part# JAC2055LP

Jaco Foams also come in a older white Wheel… the foam is a bigger Diameter..But it can be Trued Down for carpet Racing…
