Slightly overpowered Slashes

[skellyo]

Another follow-up:

I took the Slash out again this weekend for some bashing. I replaced a popped yoke on one of my sliders with the slider from my other Slash. It held together just fine for me this weekend. I really had no major issues at all except this damn thing is too fast to run WOT on bumpy ground. The only other minor observation is that the beads on the Switch tires seem to be trying to pull out of the beadlocks. They just look like they're not aligned as well as I had originally mounted them. I believe that removing the tires and taping them should cure this issue in the future. It may also help make the truck more driveable without the rears becoming pizza cutters on every WOT burst.

Overall, the truck is holding up well to the power. I am definitely interested in picking up the new RPM rear bumper mount when it's available. I'm hoping that will keep it from popping off the edges of the chassis like it does with every roll over now.

I never had that happen, the yokes just used to twist on me. Still liking the FLM CVDs so far. No pop-outs and are very strong.

Yeah, I'd like something different too. That design is pretty crappy IMO. I'm probably going to simply wrap a zip-tie around that area to keep the bumper in the grooves for now (using FLM tranny case). I have a few spare bumpers so when those wear out/deform from popping out often, I'll look into the RPM solution.
