Cant wait to get my mocked up slayer...

Have to spend the day with the wife, mandatory FQT...

I will get some time on it soon. If anyone was wondering why I have a pede rear shock tower bolted on, it is cause I am using a slash body, and the rear area of the body is different to the slayer body. It is sloped where it would have to be flat to use the revo rear body mount. Turns out that the pede rear body mount fit perfectly, even after I cut the new front body mount holes!!! Pure luck...

Give her your non-rc credit card, and a catalog to a fancy clothing store. Also fill up her car with gas. I don't think it'd be too hard to get yourself out of something like that!

Looking good!

Hopefully you have better handling luck then I have. I’m already down the road of full swaybars, changed spring out, etc, I hope that does the trick. Also as an FYI; the stock Slayer tranny comes with the “wide-ratio – 38/18” gear set as standard. So combined with the 36t spur and you’ll be running stock gearing.

What kv is a 13L? I’m guessing somewhere between 11L~14L puts it around 1950kv? On 5s you’ll be turning about 600rpm more then me and combined with 20t spur = you’ll be flying! My Slayer was uncontrollable geared for slower then this. I wish you luck and look forward to your feedback about this rig.

I am running a revo tranny with the wide ratio 2nd gear. The slayer has a different tranny case and the last two gears in it are different to the revo's. It has less reduction in the tranny to make up for the smaller tires. That is why I went with the 20/36 gearing, should give me top speed in the low 40mph range. The Hacker is somewhere around 2000kv.

From my limited tests in my office it has tons of power!! Easy wheelies and flips on carpet!

I put a 4s 6000 in my Slayer and a 14t pinion and the 1512/1.5d/f and wow!!!!!!!!Temps were manageable the MMMv2 fan came on a couple times.The motor seems to run cooler with no cover over the front holes of the motor.I drove it for 30 minutes in medium grass.The Slayer so far has been quite durable.I also raced my Matrix buggy after the Slayer and I actualy enjoy the Slayer over the Buggy.I guess if I was driving a real Corr truck it would stand to reason that the turns that seem to flip the truck would also flip the Slayer.It seems true to scale.

If common sense was so common everyone would have it.

This is certainly good news...cant wait to get my hand on my mocked up slayer...I envy you guys....

+1 on the better driving skill....even in MT and Truggy an unfamiliar driver will find it easy to flip it but given time they should be able to find the sweet spot....

Thanks they are both 17t and 1 of them is smaller so that would be the 32 pitch.The teeth look the same but the overall diameter of 1 of them is larger.


Oh yea dont wiz on the electric fence.
