Nice vid! I like the high five lol, had to do a couple of those to stop my K6s from kissing me in the face?

Haven't posted in here for a while. Have made a few updates to it over the past year.
Replaced the motor with a blx4074 2050kv, still running the blx185/150A esc.
The FLM center diff cup crapped out on me. Instead of trying to find another or going with another aftermarket, I went with the traxxas 6780:
Much beefier in general, but does kind of lock me in to running a 54T spur, which seems fine. I still have plenty of room to add a larger pinion, but it's already fast enough to be tough to drive offroad.
Tried a set of buggy tires on it just for kicks and to maybe take some of the stress off the arms... hated them on it.
Changed tires to a set of 17mm sledgehammers, had to cut the body up a bit so they didn't rub, but I really like them for grass bashing.
My wife got me GPM bulkheads for it for Christmas, so I threw those on, not much to see, but should add some strength for the diffs now that I run 4S in it all the time, and I have a tendency to break the bulkheads in this thing more often than I'd like.
How it currently sits:
My gearing and setup:
Traxxas Stampede 4x4 VXL Slash Chassis 4S
BLX185 ESC/4074 BLX2050kv
16/54 pinion/spur
Associated 70wt front rear
VG Springs/GTR Shocks VDK 1/16"
Center Diff 6780-500K
Traxxas Sledgehammer on Traxxas 17mm wheels
