  1. Bashing
So a couple years ago I sold my nitros (Revo and LST2), took some time off from the hobby and finally got back into it. Bought a really nice Slash 4x4 off fleabay. It's all stock and came with an Ascend charger and an 11.4v 25C lipo. Although I have a lot of experience with nitros, I'm a little out of my comfort zone with the electric. I have all the manuals that came with the truck so it helped a little with my missing knowledge. My real questions are about gearing with the lipos. With that size battery, what is a good gearing set up for just bashing around the yard and skate park? I have nothing but the stock gears that came with it. Just venturing into the unknown is kinda scary. :whhooo:

And a picture of my new rig. I'm pretty sure the previous owner was overwhelmed by the lipo, from the looks of the body, it spent a lot of time on it. :D

I think I ran 12/54 on mine on 3s (11.1v lipo). Great speed but still able to have tons of torque and full pack running without thermal shutdown.

Congrats on the rig too! The 2wd and 4wd slash's are my favorite bashers of all time, they take it and take it and take it, especially the 2wd.
 
Replaced the following with RPM:
Rear carriers
Front casters
Rear bumper
A-arms front and rear
Shock towers
Proline shocks front and rear

Bought a new body, need to get it painted.
Sway bar kit, really reduced the amount of 'lid time'.
 
Unfortunately, all I'm seeing there is a bunch of Integy garbage there.
