You should put some ceramic bearings on it. It would really fly 📈

Yeah 4s is a better more usable power level overall

The gray plastic traxxas drive shafts are talked about as being one of the best, maybe xo-1 shafts. People seem to always mock integy so i guess theres that..

I’ve had hit and miss products from Integy…I don’t think it would be the driveshafts from the X0-1 cause those are steel….it’s probably the newer Slash 4x4 driveshafts…I’ve personally tried them out but they still end up breaking

Ive tried every axle on the market for my slash if u want a axle shaft that will never break get the tekno fronts and rears there like dog bones legit i wish i got them first i wasted so much money on axles get teknos and never look back!

@@RippinSupplyCo yeah I ended up buying the MIP driveshafts but I don’t run them cause they use a unique 12mm hex that goes on the solid stub axle…since I can’t use my GPM wheel hex claws I end up destroying the inside of the Plastic Wheels.

I have those tires on my slash 4x4 they are good for pavement and dirt roads not realy good on grass and soft loose sand I’m getting Badlands Mx m2 Friday and some pro line shocks next Friday cause I have sand and grass I live on the coast I may end up with paddle tires if the pro lines don’t climb

Yeah they aren’t great on grass but they hold their own….Proline Badlands are definitely a good set of tires!

I don't understand how not even the upgraded driveshafts seem to last on those. I've had lots of cheap cars that have no problems with their driveshafts.

I’m not sure…these ones are garbage though…that’s the one thing I do know lol

What happened to the Castle Creations® system, did it have any problems and if so what kind; I was also curious if it had slight overheating issues on 4S due to the higher kV.

I took it out and put it in my Slash 2wd….it hit limp mode a few times in the sand…but either a lower kv motor or lower gearing would combat that

I just installed the extreme heavy duty kit from Traxxas wonder how that would hold up
