Thanks for all the info everyone.

I was originally set on the slash as a DO-ALL vehicle (speed runs, offroad etc etc) but am worried its offroad ability is hampered by its lower COG and limited suspension travel (what makes it a great short-course or road carving vehicle).

Also, I was planning on throwing some beefy tires on but have heard anything above m2ks (and sometimes even m2k's or badlands) are killing driveshafts. I was planning on getting one and trying to do some mods to the arms/shafts to get another few MM's out of the suspension travel but sounds like its already tearing up driveshafts so increasing the output angle is only going to worsen things. Not to mention if I did decide to run cvds (which I heard break easily too) that severely limits suspension travel, almost less than stock in some cases.

Do you have a slash 4x4? It does sound like the perfect all purpose truck (minus heavy/rocky offroad as the ground clearance and suspension travel are just not there) but I am worried at the durability of the drive line at anything above 2s power.
