Slash 4x4 PE finally finished! Race ready, hop-ups galore, pics!

Ryu- I see you run 3s. How's the power delivery? We are limited to running 2s, hence the 1509/1Y (3600kv) I'm running. I'm almost having problems with the tires blowing loose. I have some punch control set and have to gentle with the finger at times. I'm wondering if the Enduros will help with traction in a soft/supersoft compound.

i think you always have to use throttle control to prevent spin out. i prefer having more power on tap rather than have the trigger pinned the entire race. some prefer it to have to not use finger input though. honestly though my 2700kv on 3s is not that fast. maybe 40mph. i am geared 15/53. its def faster than stock but not some crazy 60mph slash. if your tires can cut loose now i dont think any tread will prevent that. tires can increase the point at which they do cut loose but if you have enough power to do it now you always will regardless of how sticky the tires. my thoughts anyway. but i have heard the new supersoft compound is the shiznit! thats going to be my next set. i run soft right now.

Sick slash man, definately looks race ready. My local track has a growing 4x4 SC scene so I will be setting one up for track duty also.

Kind of off topic question, but what is the OD of 1/8th buggy wheels like those sick AKA's?

i am not sure the exact diameter but i know they are slightly larger than SC tires. i will have to put the calipers to them tomorrow and see.

btw, if you are going to pick up a 4wd SC i would seriously look at the Jammin SCRT 10. i wish i had seen it before buying my slash. my slash does great but i hate how the motor/center diff assembly is put together. it is the biggest pain in the ass to get the motor out if needed. aside from that the jammin has aluminum chassis, steel cvd's, and overall is built more like a 1/8 buggy layout. i have yet to drive one but just based on layout i would say it could be setup to far outperform the slash. you should check them out and also the Ofna Hyper SC 10 looks pretty sweet.

so because my MMP wouldnt work i threw in a MMM and had to change the layout a bit. also thew in a Hacker b50xl to try out. here are new pics. qualified 2nd and won the main in this weeks memorial day races out my track in the SC4wd class.
