[lincpimp]

Look what the mailman dropped off today:

[phatmonk]

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.

I finshed the roller today, as I had to build mine from parts it took a few hours. Looks cool, that is for sure. I have a set of white ofna 5 spoke buggy wheels and some badlands on it, they look good with the black, red and white body off my slash.

Should have the electronics in it tomorrow, as long as I have time...

Final setup is a hacker c50 13l, quark 125b, ccbec, and a poly rc 3700 5s 25c lipo. Going to gear it for 45mph which should be 20/36 gearing. I am using a revo tranny locked in 2nd with the wide ratio 2nd gear. I understand the slayer has specific internal ratios to suit the smaller tires, I will just use a big pinion to compensate.

Why thank you, tiny kitty. That is a very cute kitty. Any reason you have that as your avatar pic? Or am I missing some sort of joke?

It's *supposed* to be looking at my name, with it's ears back it's thinking "BL_RV0 is god..." Or maybe I'm missing something...?

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.

I managed to get a few mins on the slayer today. I have to say that it will tracktion roll on concrete but handles reasonably well in the dirt/grass. It has plenty of power and will wheely easily. I do like the truck, very fun! I have a feeling that I would not be as fond of it with stock tires, if they are anything like the slash tires, they suck...

nice slayer! I bet those badlands will tear up some dirt.

[lincpimp]

The badlands have been doing great. I went out earlier for a good bash session. Used a 5s flightpower 5350 17c pack. I ran for at least 40 mins and still had not hit the cutoff. Temps are not bad either. I do like the truck, even though it likes to flip over if turning too fast. I usually lands on its tires... It just promotes better driving!

I just like the full body, and it jumps well too. I see my self running it more than my 1/8 buggy. Seems pretty strong, only broken an al pivot ball so far, and those were a dumb idea. I put steel ones back on the front suspension, as it seems to take the bulk of the hits.

32 pitch has much smaller teeth. So if they are the same OD then the 32 pitch will have more teeth. If they look identical they are most likely both 32p or mod1...
