How’s it do in the corners? I’m having a terrible time with mine. It looks to be of similar speed as yours, but as soon as you touch the steering input at that kind of speed, over it goes. I have to slow down and scrub a significant amount of speed way before entering a corner just so I can steer around it without rolling over.

On asphalt or dirt????

On asphalt, it is going to...with the smaller wheels and tires you don't get the forgiveness as you would with big revo wheels. also there is less contact. Sway bars may help plant the tires better.

I haven't ran mine on dirt yet...I would think that it will slide before flipping based on what I have seen so far...

Nice video. Who's looking out for cars? I'm running red springs white dot in front and red springs orange dot in back on 30wt, High speed turns still blows. My stock red springs were like two colors pink/white on front and something eles for the back.

Since the Slayer is built on the Revo platform, the CoG is a bit higher than ideal. The Revo even rolls unless you make it sit fairly low and/or use offset tires, and the Revo is quite a bit wider. I would lower it and use sway bars if cornering stability is your concern.

Thanks for the input, Brian.

I am not sure of swaybars for the dirt though...I will have to test it.

I wouldn't even think of running a Revo type suspension on any surface without some kind of sway bar. There is a ton of body roll regardless of it being a Slayer or Revo, dirt or pavement. The sway bar kit one of the biggest performance upgrades you can add to the truck.
