I got a helion dominus on a trade it's all stock, I got the truck before I read the reviews about it, the only thing I can agree on is the brushed system isn't good enough for it, an there's not that many upgrades of parts,I have ran over 20 charges with the stock system an battery, i have yet to have any problems.Any ways, I was told that Traxxas slash parts will fit (arms,diffs,)I'm not sure if he meant the 4x4 or the 2wd. I dont own either one, so can anyone verify this? If you have both an could check for me I would be very thankful
 
Helion Dominus to you too, my brother.

My dad has a dominus and I can say for a hobby town brand that this is wicked cool and tough as they come!

As for upgrades...they have tons. It can only be bought at hobby town and they carry all kinds of upgrades such as a brush less system, aluminum shocks, towers, arms, everything you could possibly want.

The brushless system comes from the helion stadium truck which came out after the dominus and its about the equivelent of a 17.5 as far as speed does but it does handle a 3s lipo and it hauls lol. My dad grabbed a few 3s's and made a custom battery holder from sheet metal in about 15 minutes.

That's all you should need to know to get your parts... as for traxxas parts I've no idea as it has many hop ups just for it.

Yeah they have a slim selection of parts to upgrade, that why I wana know if the slash trucks fit, because if they do I'm getting rpm arms for it,
 
Well its not a mainstream brand and its fairly new so...there never will be much. Hope u have luck finding parts. Your probably gonna have to buy something and try it, not too many helions running around. Try a set of arms, they are cheap.

Can the stock esc An motor handle two nimh in series?
 
For 30 seconds maybe lol, I'd absolutely not do that unless you plan on going brush less and want to see some destructive fun...

Will do, Be a month or two Before I get a new system, what would be the best brushless system for the helion? Traxxas vxl or castles sc ?
 
Vxl is fine for bashing as its water resistant but not for racing. Sensor less...
