E-Slayvo PRO 4x4 a Go-Go!

[jpoprock]

Hey guys! As you may or may not know, I moved my Slayer 2.5 stuff over to an E-Revo platform, but wasn't happy with how the truck handled, nor could I find a body that truly fit. I was going to convert it back to nitro when they announced the Slayer Pro 4x4. SO, I decided to hold out and wait for the arms, buckles, and body to come out. I'm glad I did!!













The rest...

Now, for some reason, my REVO 3.3 and my E-Revo bodies fit just fine when I had the 2.5 stuff on it. I ran a dopey Erevo body until I could decide on what I wanted to do. So, I assumed that the new Slayer Pro 4x4 body would fit just fine, since it's basically the 3.3 chassis, same body mounts, bulks, etc. Plus, the Revo bodies fit both the E and Nitros. I was surprised to find that this body didn't fit right. The front holes needed retapped by about a 1/4". What a bummer cuz now that is a weak area. I also cut a bit out where the front bumper meets the body, to allow it sit down a little better.

Too bad my tires are beat up, cuz it all looks so nice and shiny! I still need to dial in my toe in the front a little bit, but that's it. I've also Gorilla taped all the unnecc holes in the body as well. I'll be anxious for ProLine to release a .060 Lexan body, that's for sure. This one won't last long. As you can see, the drawback with the ERevo platform is that you can't run side bumpers, unless you fabbed up some yourself.

I'm running it on 4S with the MM and a Neu 1512 2600kv motor. It's the stuff!! Handles great, it's "tippy" any more due to the wider wheel base and is an overall improvement over the 2.5 version.
