Traxxas Slash 4x4 2s/3s motor choices

[reno911]

I like the VXL on 2s for racing indoor off road on carpet. Does great. Never got too hot, nothing a small heat-sink can't fix. Ran 3s bashing for the length of the battery nothing thermaled out and motor temp was fine.

However there is a guy running a castle 2650 on 3s in the short coarse open using the MMM and Losi 8ight shocks on all four corners. Kicked every ones butt on the Amain by at least three laps. Looks pretty clean with the stock receiver tossed and the rustler one up front. Like Traxxas promoted.
