    Nice video...and a bit different from the time you were there with the track all outlined and manicured....but I will say..I can bash and have an awesome time in a parking lot or open area....put down some lines for a track...and I'm allover the place..keep the videos coming ..the Slash is definitely handling way better than before...

    Nice upgrades. Looks great.The shocks seem to be working nicely. I think a headband mount for your go pro would work great for filming and then you can use both hands to drive. I see a lot of other you tubers using them.

    Bcrc, I’d say either sway bars or adjust your shock positions appropriately,if you look on the traxxas web site they’re a read about how to properly set up your suspension depending on where your driving and also btw when your rear wheels are lifting you need to stiff in the front , Larry putting your front shocks onto the outside hole and that will give your control arms less leverage on them there more making it stiffer

    on that little track you should be running a 2s also i assume you are running a brushless which means a programmable esc so take some of the punchout out of the system so you can have a little more linear acceleration and turn the gyro on, a gyro won't save you it will just help you save yourself also i don't think that is the right surface for trenchers, i personally run badlands on my 2wd but i don't think even they would work well there, i almost think you need some pin tires like you have on your racing truck......

    Whoah.. $120 for 4 shocks... I just paid £12 for 4 ZD racing shocks for my Senton.. I'm not trying to be a dick, but you said "cheapest"... Did you mean the initial purchase price.? Btw, the Traxxas Slash 2wd base brushed model costs around £260 here in the UK.. A 2wd VXL is nearly £400.. A 4x4 VXL Ultimate is around £570. The new Bronco is around £600.. For some reason all Traxxas RCs are like 30/40% more than any other make. For reference, a Senton v3 mega is around £220. A Senton v3 3S is £320. An Associated M10 Rival is about £250.. And the HPI Maverick Quantum flux is £160. Anyways, love the vids mate.. Stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland.
