Thats "Traxxas Performance" (not performance really lol ) parts that are expensive
Better alternatives out there imo. But...

This does have some traxxas optional parts.

On the traxxas site, select a model and gi to accessories for a picture list.

I just looked you haven’t done what I need lol, I want adjustable shocks and then something for the rear axles I had seen there was an mip upgrade but can’t find it anywhere and also a tekno upgrade apparently haven’t searched for it yet though

 

[DavidB1126]

Traxxas has the GTR shocks which are the best they make. And then proline has a set but is way more expensive. I run MIP X duty axles on mine, tekno has a M6 axle kit too.

For the gtr shocks I can't remember what length it is front and rear, as the GTRs are made for the 4x4, but can fit the 2wd

I'm using strc shock bodies and caps in my Bandit vuild and soon on my 1/8 stampede. Traxxas springs and internals with the gold shock shaft.

Rear axles I've heard of slash 4x4 as they are hd. I actually used a broke axle to loctite an ofna cup and dog nomes off a ultra buggy. They were too long and bent but it handled the stressful job.

Don't forget the cheap amazon no name brand parts, they are the best! ( no theyaren't, well some brands are pretty decent)

i’m gonna save that strc link for some things like the shocks and the hinge pins

 

[DavidB1126]

Strc locking pins, one of the best. The stock ones like to back out alot

I remember mine backed out and then I bent as well and snap the stock brace for the front lol I have proline aluminum one in the front now lol also have all the proline hinge pins that came with the protrac suspension kit

 

[DavidB1126]

Oh yea forgot they made all of those upgrades for the slash. They should bring them back.

 

[Chubaka]

Thinking of these on my Bandit and drag slash build. I think @Greywolf74 has experience with these.

They were kind of cool.....for maybe 2min. Glad they're gone!

They may be gone, but all the usual dingbats remain.

I think that’s what I was looking for thank you for some reason it wouldn’t come up, I am curious what the tekno one is though i’d love a cv axle or something similar

https://www.amainhobbies.com/tekno-...pGB1aVqwSlT49KGkHfCAgLl3b4F4NwIAaAsX9EALw_wcB

hmm this might be the move, almost the same adjustability as my tekno hubs but a way better axle

same thing but cheaper don’t mind me
