Low-CG chassis conversion

Traxxas Slash 2WD BL-2s · 58334-4

This swaps the tall 2WD chassis for a lower layout that carries the vehicle's components closer to the ground. It is a handling-focused change for smoother surfaces, with less clearance beneath the center of the truck.

Traxxas lists this package for the stated vehicle configuration. Check previously fitted upgrades and modifications before ordering.

Installation notes

  • Use the complete 5830 conversion package. Transfer the front/rear assemblies, motor, receiver installation and compatible electronics.
  • Reuse existing fasteners except where the kit instructions identify supplied replacements. Select the servo mounting height for the fitted servo-saver layout, shorten the servo link as shown and check steering direction.
  • The original instruction shows XL-5 and VXL-3s mounting screw lengths. On a BL-2s-equipped vehicle, check the actual mounting hardware and wire clearance rather than copying the VXL screw length.
  • Check existing body mounts and modifications before assembly. The lower layout reduces available central ground clearance.
