E-Slayer conversion please help with some questions

If you keep it light you can still lock the tranny in 2nd gear and use motor brakes, just set the vxl for forward only (it has that option IIRC) if you do not want reverse.

And my gearing recomendations were for a revo, not a slayer, sorry about that. The slayer has light small wheels/tires so the vxl setup may work. As long as you do not gear it too high and keep an eye on motor temps it should be fine. The cf chassis will help lower the weight.

Ya I have the tekno kit already, I also have the bore reducer already, I was looking at the novak long shanks.

Looks like you are on the right track. You can also use some spacers, maybe 5-6mm thick, to space the front of the motor mount plate towards the spur. That way you can run std length pinions and not place so much load on the motor's front bearing.
