Ok, but what color are the stock springs? They should be mainly red with little spots of color on the ends. Usually the front and rear are different colors...

I think stock setup was silver up front and green in rear. I may be mistaken.

5433A Spring, shock (red) (GTR) (1.4 rate double pink stripe)
5434A Spring, shock (red) (GTR) (1.6 rate double blue stripe)
5940 Spring, shock (red) (GTR) (1.8 rate double green stripe)
5941 Spring, shock (red) (GTR) (2.0 rate double black stripe)
5942 Spring, shock (red) (GTR) (2.3 rate double purple stripe)
5427 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (front 0.7 yellow) (1 pair)
5428 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (front) (0.9 rate orange)
5432 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (front) (1.3 rate gold)
5429 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (rear) (1.0 rate tan)
5431 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (rear) (1.2 rate silver)
5434 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (rear) (1.6 rate blue)
5430 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (std. front) (1.1 rate green)
5433 Spring, shock (white) (GTR) (std. rear) (1.4 rate pink)
5998 Sway bar kit, Slayer (front and rear) (includes front and rear sway bars and adjustable linkage)

Weird how they list 5430 and 5433 as the std springs, but 5433a and 5434a are listed in the exploded diamgram as the stock springs. The pictures show red springs, bit i wonder if I can use the white springs with the same rates?

Very nice, how is the V1 MMM holding up?

[rckcrwlr]

Not a problem at all...but really haven't pushed it yet

How’s it do in the corners? I’m having a terrible time with mine. It looks to be of similar speed as yours, but as soon as you touch the steering input at that kind of speed, over it goes. I have to slow down and scrub a significant amount of speed way before entering a corner just so I can steer around it without rolling over.

On asphalt or dirt????

On asphalt, it is going to...with the smaller wheels and tires you don't get the forgiveness as you would with big revo wheels. also there is less contact. Sway bars may help plant the tires better.

I haven't ran mine on dirt yet...I would think that it will slide before flipping based on what I have seen so far...

Nice video. Who's looking out for cars? I'm running red springs white dot in front and red springs orange dot in back on 30wt, High speed turns still blows. My stock red springs were like two colors pink/white on front and something eles for the back.

The stock slayer spring color is PINK in the front and BLUE in the rear.

Since the Slayer is built on the Revo platform, the CoG is a bit higher than ideal. The Revo even rolls unless you make it sit fairly low and/or use offset tires, and the Revo is quite a bit wider. I would lower it and use sway bars if cornering stability is your concern.

Thanks for the input, Brian.

I am not sure of swaybars for the dirt though...I will have to test it.

I wouldn't even think of running a Revo type suspension on any surface without some kind of sway bar. There is a ton of body roll regardless of it being a Slayer or Revo, dirt or pavement. The sway bar kit one of the biggest performance upgrades you can add to the truck.
