The list distinguishes between essential conversion parts and optional accessories (shown in bold). Essentials are the non-negotiable hardware that fundamentally changes the truck’s capability: stronger axles, high-traffic tires, and reinforced suspension. Optional accessories are the fine-tuning elements—the polished aluminum turnbuckles, the anodized shock caps, the carbon fiber braces—that shave grams, add bling, and push performance to the absolute limit. Understanding this dichotomy is crucial for budgeting and prioritizing your build.
Drivetrain & Axle Components
Converting for street use means reinforcing the drivetrain against constant high-torque stress on abrasive surfaces. Stock plastic parts will shatter.
- Traxxas 6835X - Steel CVD Axles (Front & Rear) - Essential
- Traxxas 6836 - Rear Axle Carriers (Heavy-Duty) - Essential
- Traxxas 6837 - Front Axle Carriers (Heavy-Duty) - Essential
- Traxxas 3645 - 32-Pitch Steel Pinion Gear (Various T, e.g., 13T for torque) - Essential
- Traxxas 3647 - 32-Pitch Steel Spur Gear - Essential
- Traxxas 2382 - Aluminum Motor Mount - Optional (For precise gear mesh)
- Traxxas 3640 - Steel Drive Shaft (for 2WD models) - Essential
Hardware Note: A critical, often overlooked detail is the specific hardware required. The list specifies 25mm (2), 6.5mm (2) for certain applications—this refers to the length and diameter of specific screws or pins, like those for wheel hubs or shock mounts. Using incorrect hardware leads to failure. Always cross-reference with the Traxxas Slash manual or a trusted hardware guide.

Suspension & Shocks
Stock Slash shocks are adequate for off-road but wilt under the sustained compression of street jumps and landings.
- Traxxas VXL Shocks (GTR Series) - Essential Upgrade - These are the gold standard. They feature smooth, anodized bodies, adjustable pistons, and oil-filled performance. How to change your shock oil in 10 easy steps is a fundamental skill here; using the correct viscosity (typically 30wt-50wt for street) is key.
- Traxxas 6830 - VXL Shock Springs (Harder Rate) - Essential
- Traxxas 2380 - Aluminum Shock Caps - Optional (Prevents stripping)
- Traxxas 6831 - Shock Shafts (Hardened Steel) - Optional (For ultimate durability)
- ProLine 2.8" Pro-2 Tires & Wheels - Essential - As seen in builds where someone modded my slash into a monster slash with some 2.8 tires. The larger diameter and more aggressive tread pattern are a game-changer for street traction and obstacle clearance.
- RPM Front Bumper - Essential - Provides massive protection and often allows for shortened shock travel modifications, as noted in personal builds: "got some shocks where i shortened the travel on, and due to having the rpm front bumper i could..." This bumper is a cornerstone of the street eliminator aesthetic and function.
Chassis & Protection
The chassis itself is strong, but strategic bracing and skid plating are mandatory.
- Traxxas 6834 - Aluminum Center Drive Shaft Support - Essential (Prevents shaft whipping)
- Traxxas 2381 - Aluminum Skid Plate - Essential
- Traxxas 6832 - Rear Bumper (Heavy-Duty) - Essential
- ProLine 1155-05 - Pro2 Body Mounts - Optional (For ProLine Pro2 bodies)
- Traxxas 6833 - Wheelie Bar - Optional (Helps with balance on acceleration)
Finding the Best Traxxas Slash Upgrades for Performance
The path to a true street eliminator isn’t just about bolting on parts; it’s about understanding performance synergy. A Traxxas Slash 4x4 offers inherent advantages with its torque-splitting center differential, but a 2WD model #58024 is the specified, cost-effective platform for mudboss racing—a style that heavily overlaps with street eliminator toughness. The 2WD’s simpler drivetrain is easier to armor and lighten.
The VXL shocks are the single most impactful upgrade you can make. Their ability to be tuned with different oil weights and piston setups allows you to dial in the perfect balance between absorbing street impacts and maintaining traction. Pair them with 2.8" Pro-Line tires on durable Traxxas Slick or All-Terrain wheels, and you have a foundation that grips concrete, asphalt, and gravel alike.
Don’t neglect the electronics. While Traxxas ID charger and Lipo batteries are not included and you will need to purchase them, this is a critical investment. A high-discharge 2S or 3S Lipo (e.g., 5000mAh) paired with a Traxxas EZ-Peak ID charger provides the consistent voltage and quick turnaround needed for aggressive driving. The stock electronics can handle this, but many builders upgrade to a Traxxas Velineon VXL-3s ESC and Titan 12T 550 motor for more headroom.
From Stock to Monster: Personal Mod Stories That Inspire
The theoretical list comes alive through real-world application. Consider the builder who replaced the servo with metal gear and changed the pinion to 13t for torque. This is a classic, high-ROI mod. A Traxxas 2075 or aftermarket metal-gear servo (like a Hitec or Futaba) survives the shock loads of street bashing that quickly destroy the stock servo’s plastic gears. Dropping to a 13-tooth pinion (from a stock 18T or similar) sacrifices some top speed for a monumental gain in low-end punch—essential for launching up curbs and powering out of corners.
Another builder took a Slash 4x4, fitted a Rally body, and shortened the shock travel. This creates a lower, more agile machine that handles like a go-kart on tarmac. The RPM front bumper wasn’t just for looks; its robust design provided the mounting points and clearance needed for the shortened shocks, preventing them from bottoming out harshly on the body. These stories illustrate the list’s flexibility—it’s not a rigid prescription but a toolkit for your specific vision.
Getting Started: The Baseline Build for Mudboss & Street
If you’re new, the basic Traxxas Slash 2WD model #58024 is your perfect starting canvas. It’s affordable, abundant, and its 2WD layout is the specified platform for entry-level mudboss racing, which shares the durability requirements of street eliminator running. Your first purchases should be:
- Steel CVD Axles (Front & Rear).
- VXL Shocks with appropriate springs.
- 2.8" Pro-Line Tires.
- RPM Front & Rear Bumpers.
- A Metal-Gear Servo.
This core package transforms the truck from a toy into a tool. You can then gradually add the aluminum bracing, skid plate, and other accessories from the list as your budget and ambition grow.
Powering Your Beast: The Critical Battery & Charger Note
A repeated and vital point: The Traxxas ID charger and Lipo batteries are not included and you will need to purchase them. This cannot be overstated. Running your street eliminator on the stock NiMH battery and basic charger is a recipe for frustration—short run times and slow charging will kill your fun. Budget for a Traxxas 2S 5000mAh Lipo and a Traxxas EZ-Peak Live charger (or equivalent) from the start. This is the "fuel system" for your high-performance build.
The Community: Your Secret Weapon for Troubleshooting
No list, no matter how comprehensive, can predict every snag. This is where the passionate group of users becomes invaluable. In dedicated forums and social media groups, you’ll find enthusiasts discussing RC anything, not just Traxxas, with minimal mod oversight—meaning raw, unfiltered advice. When you’re stuck on a gear mesh issue, can’t find a specific part, or are unsure about a modification’s legality for a specific race class, do not hesitate to ask. The collective experience in these communities is often more valuable than any manual.
Traxxas's post from March 5, 2019, highlighted a #traxxastechtip about shock maintenance—a perfect example of official guidance that complements our leaked list. Always cross-reference community wisdom with official Traxxas technical documents and your manual. The complete list of spare and tuning parts is officially listed in the spare/tuning parts section of your manual or on Traxxas’s website. Our leaked list organizes and prioritizes that information for a specific goal.
Technical Deep Dive: Shock Oil Maintenance
A key performance factor is pristine shock function. How to change your shock oil in 10 easy steps is a rite of passage:
- Remove shock from truck.
- Fully compress and extend shaft to bleed air.
- Unscrew cap.
- Empty old oil.
- Flush with fresh shock oil.
- Fill with new oil to correct level (usually just below cap).
- Slowly compress shaft to push air bubbles out.
- Reinstall cap.
- Reattach to truck.
- Cycle suspension to verify smooth operation.
Use Traxxas 30wt Shock Oil as a baseline for street. Consistency is key; change all shocks at once with the same oil.
The Final Detail: A Crucial Specification
A specific, often-missed specification from the list: (note) slash 2wd has 39mm turnbuckle front. This means the front turnbuckles (the threaded rods that connect the steering linkage) are 39mm long on the 2WD model. If you’re upgrading to Traxxas 6838 Aluminum Turnbuckles, you must get the correct length for your model. Using 4WD turnbuckles on a 2WD will cause improper steering geometry. This tiny detail can cause major handling issues.
