Not havong the braking power is mostly due to you tsking the front driveshaft out. No front driveshaft = no front brakes, which is where the most braking is done. All the other vehicles you listed are also 4wd which all brake well because they have front braking. See how fast a Rustler stops, they don't!

You make a good point, but the braking wasn't good even before I removed the front driveshafts, so I guess it went from bad to worse. :-)

All the local guys have been beating their E-Revo VXL's up pretty good at the track and nothing has broken on theirs so far. I'll give it another shot when the new parts get here.

Took the slash out to where they're building a local track - right now it's pretty rough dirt, a lot of rocks, and the recent heavy rains left it pretty wet...

That being said, it was a ton of fun! I flipped quite a few times when I hit some rocks, took some amazing tumbles, but didn't break anything. Just some mud to dig out of it.

Tons more fun on the dirt then on pavement! I'd had some second thoughts on the slash after running it on pavement, but it really looks amazing on the dirt.

Still running the stock battery, debating on either 3s in parrallel or 2s in parallel, when I make up my mind I'll get some on order.

I'd try a larger capacity single 2S lipo before you jump to a parallel configuration. My single 2S 1800mAh kicks butt!

So why not put two of those in, and get double the runtime?

Because I have 4 packs. Why weigh down the vehicle needlessly instead of just stopping for a minute to change the pack?

Gotcha :)

I'll be running mine in parallel just to make life easier for the batteries, splitting the load. I'm sure one can handle it by itself, but it'll be even easier with two.

That and I hate stopping to change packs.
