Slash: I got the new titan motor in. Also installed the atomik aluminum bell crank. When I ran it last the pinion gear kept falling of the motor. I tighten the grubscrew all the way down and still did it. I am using stock 16/90 gearing. Might have to do with the gear mesh and the spacing between the pinion and spur. We have fields near our house and I want to go there with the rc's but I know with the slash the tires are small and not that wide like the rustler wheels. I am still using the stock tires and wheels. I want to get some 2.8 tires for off road use for the slash and the rustler. I will probably go with the duratrax lockups. Next upgrades for slash: Aluminum Caster and Steering blocks, Rear axle carriers, New body, On road tires, a set of off road tires (lockup mt), lcg chassis. I want to go with the lcg because I still want to take it to the track and with going in grass 1 inch shouldn't hurt anything. Also I want to but a led light bar on it for night driving.
Rustler: Have the aluminum caster and steering blocks on. The only thing is the camber link is coming out from the caster block. With the stock one it didn't come with a 5mm nut to put on the end. I tried to search for 5mm nut for rcs the only thing that popped up is 7mm wheel nuts and 12mm wheel hubs. Also thinking about getting a screw/nut kit with all of the different size nuts and screws. Also have the new rpm bumper on there. Way nicer than stock. And way more bigger so I can hold the rc from the front. Next for the rustler is RPM Arms and Front bulkhead. aluminum rear axle carriers, and metal gear waterproof servo.
Next RC? I think our next rc will be a stampede 2wd vxl. I will use the stampede for off roading. The slash and rustler will be mostly on road and track.
Also with the slash when I go off roading in the fields I will change the shock position in the arms for more height and shock travel. For the shocks i have blue aluminum hobby park shocks and running 50 wt in them. It is way to thick so going to go back to 30 or 40 wt on the oil.
