slash, bash slash, custom slash, pede......now what version?

[rootar]

Well ive been running the same electronic setup in my traxxas 2wd based veichle ever since i got the stock slash and i have tried ALOT of verisons and im looking to see whats next....... so far i used in all the versions (mm w/cc bec, 3s 5000 lipo, 9L w/rcm clamp, mod1 gearing (anywhere between 39-65mph, usually 45) and a flm tranny.

i have ran:

-stock slash (stock tires, body, and all)= fun on pavement, ok basher, doesnt jump worth a crap, way over powered to handle decent off road or on a loosed track.

-bash slash (stock chassis, Cut body, Badlands on off set wheels)= hard to handle on pavement, WAY better traction and rough handling, jumps better but not great, rear bumper not holding up and neither is the body. drives faster on the track but tippy in the corners.

-custom race slash (my extended chassis, holeshots and edges fit under the body, Hardcorr body, 1/8 shocks, rustler style servo setup)= EXCELLENT on track handling and traction, very very easy to drive and FAST, doesnt bash well due to the tiny tires and huge body, and it doesnt jump well for the same reason but jumps good enough on the track jumps because i usually roll most the larger ones and it stays low over the others.

-pede (old pede chassis, badlands, no body, 1/8 shocks)= fun basher, very hard to keep front end down, pretty tippy but still turns pretty good for the most part, i prefer the bellcrank setup over just the servo saver direct to the turnbuckles, ALOT better to jump,does flips easy, corrects easy also but the handling is lacking.

so im thinking maybe the stock rustler chassis is what im after for bashing and use my custom chassis for the slash racing. The rustler setup will have a nice small and much tougher body, better handling over the pede with the bellcrank setup and lower battery, but will keep the short wheelbase for flips and wheelies and better jumping......... plus itll ditch the big bumpers.

i plan on running the badlands with it, and bashing and playing, and doing HUGE jumps and flips. does anyone know the the slash bellcranks work with the rustler setup so all ill need is a rustler chassis (upper and lower) and then a battery strap and esc mount, jconcepts body, and rpm bumper........ do yall think this will do what im after or will i just be wasting $55 to try it....
