Reinforcing or supporting the body has 2 compromises to consider, cost and weight. Weight reduces efficiency of the rig fast. Cost can defeat the purpose from the start. Brute force bodies and the...
The VXL-3m will not likely power a 540 can with sufficient amps. Seems like a good way to get some magic smoke.
Yes thank you all this does help.
If you need clearance for any reason this is about the smallest one.

Actually you might want to check that. Because you can have the same torque at different speeds. Speed and torque have no synchronized correlation.
Don't the Sledgehammer wheels have Traxxas 17mm splined hexes? I have standard 17mm HR adaptors.
I actually started using my power screwdriver because I have a bad habit of over tightening fasteners. This power screwdriver has saved me a lot of headache and taught me just how little you have to...
I have seen Slash Snap-on trucks but never a Rally but it doesn't surprise me. Snap-on does this kind of stuff often.
If it just to get a max speed for a speed run and not a long bash session. You can try just getting a small 2s battery. The weight saving can be dramatic.
I have the Black+Decker LI4000 power screwdriver. It has the torque limiter and lithium power. I found it at a local Lowes or Home Depot not sure which now. But here is a amazon link as an example.

A center diff will help but the monster truck tires will still kill your cornering.
I think it was an STRC kit but it was a long time ago so not sure at all. But it was a kit I just upgraded the bar.
I already have 17mm hexes, MiP X-Duty axles, hardened steel spiral cut diff gears with LEM diff cups, Tekno RC Big bone center shaft, full metal center diff, larger bearing metal motor mount, and all...
Flex-Seal Clear spray and strategic use of drywall tape.
I don't really do high speed with the Monster Slash but I do worry about tearing from just plain high torque once in a while. Thanks.
That is a great simple mod to firm up the front-end. I made my own upgrade bar for my sway bar setup. I used piano wire. Which is hardened stainless spring steel. It made a huge difference. I...
Thanks for the replies. I was hoping for use experience like ballooning and wear rates. Also which model fits the Slash since I can't find the details of the differences between the models. Still...
Thanks for the clarification, it just made me wonder. :)
These are the best body clips I have ever used. If you don't want to switch to the screw cap type body post I can't suggest these more.

Sorry just had to get that confirmed. Thanks :)
I have not seen the shocks you actually have but I have to ask. Are the rear shocks longer than the front shocks?
This is a personal opinion but with some experience. I believe the brace has a function but it is not a general use upgrade for everyone. If you are good at driving your rig and don't have high speed...
The lowest voltage per cell is about 3.2v but many like to consider higher voltages to reduce stress on the cell. I like 3.4v but you should check the manufacturer's suggested minimum voltage for a...
I only just stumbled upon these Duratrax wheels. They seem like good low cost alternatives to Proline Badlands MX28.

When I upgraded to GTR shocks on my MERV the leaking stopped and that was 2 years ago. Most reviews say about the same but there are always some that fail and the bottom cap is the common fail point...
