Low-CG chassis conversion

Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL · 68386-4

This replaces the standard Slash 4X4 chassis with a lower layout while transferring the existing front and rear assemblies. It suits a setup where you want the vehicle's mass lower for handling, accepting less ground clearance over rough terrain.
