#TRAXXAS SLASH ULTIMATE OBA INSTALLATION UPDATE#

I guess I could try to solder this back on to see if works but it doesn't, I also chatted with Traxxas today and they confirmed they would replace it for $35 under their lifetime electronics warranty! So we'll see but at least I have some good options to consider and Traxxas does still sell some of the parts for the speakers (found here.) but they don't sell the OBA audio module itself or the OBA ESC! I've kept this over the years for a friend so I'll see if he still wants any of it, which I doubt since he sold off his Slash and he cut one of the wires to the OBA module so it doesn't work anyway. Yesterday, I went to my storage unit and dug up an old OBA system all in parts inside a bin.

#TRAXXAS SLASH ULTIMATE OBA INSTALLATION UPDATE#

I'll update this blog with anything else I end up doing which is why I love this blog btw! I get to keep track of my RC escapades over the years! I've always liked the OBA sound and I use to own a Slash 2wd Robby Gordon edition that I ended up converting to OBA myself back in 2016 and documented it here.) I really enjoyed that truck but I was able to sell it and parted out some it (i.e., Robby Gordon orange body) along with other stuff and made a very decent profit so I'm hoping I can do the same again! So get this, eBay emailed me this morning (11/24) about another Slash 2WD OBA-White that sold for $369.99+$61.05 shipping! So this is nice to know that I can flip this truck for some profit now but if I wait a little longer I might even get more for it or I can part it all out to make the most profit, so we'll see! He looked through his inventory but said he must of sold them and needed to update his website - darn! Figured it was too good to be true! The other hobby shop selling the 2WD OBA-White confirmed they do have it so at least I have this one coming to me! Tracking estimates delivery to be 12/2. Traxxas has discontinued all the OBA (On-Board Audio) Slash trucks and I was able to locate one of each (2WD, 4X4 & 4X4-Ultimate) from different locations! ***UPDATE*** I ended up calling the hobby shops the next day and it turns out the hobby shop selling the 4X4 & Ultimate OBS Slash trucks didn't have either one. of some Traxxas Slash OBA kits I tried buying but they turned out to be a SCAM! Figured I'd link it to find it easier.
