Bigjimknickers Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I treated mine to a real nice 3s lipos with traxxas connector last night, I'm going to try to keep bits like the ESC connectors stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I'm running my hard case 3S 6500mah from Overlander still that I got when I first got my slash. I can't believe my original gearing and esc, motor etc still going strong!! Fans on motor and esc from start may have helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans on motor and esc from start may have helped! that's it! I new it was near 8300...;-) I'm going to keep the nano techs for just the slash & keep the turnigy blues for the savage/xs/firestorm. All I'll do is fashion up a traxxas to xt90 so I can use the blues in an emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Found thesehttp://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-traxxas-steel-rear-universal-driveshafts-for-slash-stampede-4x4/rc-car-products/380913 Tbh I'll be going down the upgrade when broken route, I'll even keep the velineon & toast that before I upgrade to the wp sc8, I hovered over the kings headz alloy mount for a while & rpm arms but sod it, I'll consider it a stock durability test, especially that velineon system on 3s! I bought a set of them in fact a bought both front and rear and to be honest i opened them and just sent them back.. They feel like there made by 5 year olds out in the jungle with a few simple hand tools utter crap if you ask me .. I use the MIP's HD KEYED axles front and rear along with the traxxas alloy hubs not yet had any wear issue's now they include the needed spacers to clear the hubs ETC.. Only thing i'd say about running such a huge 3s lipo is the weight, more weight means more heat more heat means your have to drop your gearing so not only will you be heavy but your be slower than others or just run it hot till it pops.. I run my backslash on 4s 5000mah turnigy 40c lipos of a 2700kv lepoard motor with a sc8 and i get around 30/40 minutes a pack which is more than enough runtime i think, your be running close to an hour non stop with those packs i would have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Mine is here, I've took it out & it ran great, but I wanted to check the pre load for the gtr shocks, looks like mine havnt been set as there right at the top of the shock. Any ideas? The manual is useless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didski Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Do you know if the Platinum has the Aluminium bearing adapter as factory fit? It will be same in my Ultimate then and I'd like to know as to whether I need to make the order for one or not. I suppose it won't hurt having another just in case!\ Also, how much have you altered the slipper clutch from tight?

Bigjimknickers Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I shall check later, I did have the gear cover off yesterday to check the mesh My manual states it has a 6893 installed & 6893X is the option part. I'll take a better look when I'm tinkering with it this weekend! Edited May 1, 2014 by Bigjimknickers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didski Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I've just ordered the fan, the aluminium bearing adapter just in case and the battery expansion kit (LCG version).

Bigjimknickers Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 My savage xs uses that on 2s & 3s, so with correct gearing I can't see why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
