Anthony Stephens’ ’55 Shoebox Chevy is a great example of just how versatile the Traxxas Slash platform can be. He started with a Platinum Edition Slash built on a 4WD LCG chassis and uses the stock Velineon power system. He installed an Outerwears dust shroud to keep debris out of the running gear, and topped it with a Parma Fifty-Five body. It rolls on Duratrax Bandito tires mounted on RPM Revolver wheels, but Anthony didn’t stop there. He crafted some “Moonie” hubcaps by cutting the bottoms off of four soda cans, and used a paint pen to give his tires the whitewall treatment. Anthony tells us it doesn’t take long for the hubcaps to get beat up while running hard at his local skate park, but they’re so cheap and easy to make that he doesn’t care!
