E-Slayer build on the horizon

I think 1515 on 3s would be a great reliable set up with a good balance of weight on the chassis but I must say that the 1512 tossed my e-revo around like a rag doll on 4s but it was easy and smooth to real it in. The 1512 wont exceed 115 degrees no matter what I do. I'm very new to the brushless scene but I will have first hand knowledge of an E-slayer with MM, 3s and a lesser quality motor in a couple days. We will toss in the 1512 to campare.

60mm 2k medusa worked good in mine on 4s and shifting 20/36. So much air going thu the body it stayed around 120F motor & ESC. How many rpm's does the TRX3.3 make? What kv on 4s would be close to stock nitro speed?

Yes the Medusa is a great option.I have wanted to check these out.

The slayer should be a bit lighter than a revo, and has much smaller tires. I would think that a Medusa 60mm would be fine. My hacker c50 13l is about that size, and those motors work great is 1/8 buggies, which are comparable to a slayer.

So I have a Tekno Slayer conversion a Slayer a MMM v2 a Motor now do I need a servo Y harness or a center diff conversion ?but the specs say on the Slayer that it has a forward only trans.Long story short is I want to go with a pinion and no clutch and use the MMM brakes.But on the otherhand the instructions for the conversion says I need a y servo harness when using the clutch setup.I have converted 2 1/8 buggies and a Losi 8T truggy those I have a good working knowledge of what to do but with the traxxas Slayer and 2 speed I need some guidance.Do I need RCM Motor mount?

Are you done yet, my Slayer will be on the 16th and the Tekno conversion will be here on Monday. LMK when you ready for it.

If you plan to use motor brakes you will have to lock the 2 speed in 2nd gear. There is a sticky in the brushless section by BrianG that will show you how to do it.

The FOC kit that the slay comes with is also needed, which is good since you already have it.

Heres some pics of the Slayer so far.I was gonna go with the Tekno clutch but changeed plans.It does have a tendency to want to flip but if you are carefull its controlable.It drives like a grape ape.I went with a Neu 1512/1.5d/f and 3s lipo 6000.Lincpimp can I go with a 18t pinion?It now has a 14T with stock forward only trans.I also ofcourse went with the mech.brakes.I did hammer on it a few times an the MMMv2 worked perfect.I was gonna use a mx3 fm radio but it glitched like crazy with the steering servo so for now it has the stock radio and no problems.
