Those are all some nice upgrades!!! RPM has some for the slash as well!!!!

[createacrawler]

Looking at the aluminum turnbuckles and performance stuff available brings up a good point too. You can trick your slash out and still keep it a "scale type" truck. The best of both worlds!

[countryboy4life]

Hey createacrawler you could make beadlocks for the slash!!!

[salteen]

so far, I have the Traxxas aluminum bellcrank installed on my truck and it really helped tighten up the steering and make it more responsive. I thought it had a lot of turning before but I was able to turn out the endpoints even further with my radio and now it turns almost as good as my buggy.

So far I have not had any problems with turning the tires.....it's getting the rest of the truck to follow that's tough. ;D

I'm thinking of metal half shaft yokes.

Metal output yokes are a good idea. I have them on my Nitro Sport and they work great. They will be one of my first upgrades for this truck once I go brushless.

So far I Have upgraded to the Traxxas VXL system, aluminum bellcrank steering, aluminum turnbuckles, steel output yokes, and I just got in a set of aluminum BigBores with TiN shafts. I will be mounting a set of crawler's beadlocks as soon as I sell off my axials.

[Rob #28]

Sounds sweet, where's the pics!?

[samrsnow]

where did the pics go??

[skulliwulli]

Hey Rob, If you use the pics from the preview pages on tower they won't work more than a short period. When you open the pic it is given a unique web address that doesn't last long. It would be better to download it to your comp then upload it to a hosting site. They do this so that people like us don't use up their bandwith.

neweramodels.com has some pretty neat stuff!

[xfxrider]

haha i just totally added neweramodels.com to my favorites! hahahaha

[beef]

is there any word on the cvds?

[strykerjoe]

They keep moving the date! I'm useing just about everything thats out ther for the truck, the RPM front end needs a little modding tho/ rear fine for fit, Lunsford kit fits good, the TRX ball diff is questionable(NOT going to hold up to a big BL set-up:5700^ & 2/3cellLiPo, I have a 4600Kv:3200Mah2cLipo and it will live on a low setting. I started with it at default settings and it stripped some teeth!!!) Feel free to ask about "MOD" class parts.
