Traxxas Slash 2WD - Choosing the Right Upgrades

These are modifications I highly recommend to upgrade on your traxxas slash if you want a bullet proof it and prevent components from breaking. ***SEE MORE BELOW***

UPDATE (1/1/2015)
Additional upgrades since posting this video are as follows:
- RMP front and rear body mounds. These are much more ridged than the stock body mounts and also allows for height adjustment.
- Big Bore Shocks. As seen in the video, I did upgrade my Ultra shocks and still highly recommended doing so to the individually that does not want to drop $60+ on the Big Bores; however, I was getting a lot of leaking even after rebuilding. Since I have upgraded they work great!!! I have had no leaking what so ever after almost 8 months. If I were to do it again I would go with the GTR shocks that comes on vehicles like the Slash 4x4 Ultimate.
- RPM ESC mount. This is just a cleaner more secure method of mounting an ESC other than the Traxxas brand. I went with the double sided tape for some time, but where the ESC sits in the LCG chassis there are two strengthening ribs which hinder a nice planar surface to attach to. I highly recommend this for the money.
- Losi body pins. This is a mod that I was not even going to mention, but for what it is they work great and much better than the stock Traxxas body pins. They are a slightly larger gauge pin, so it holds things in place much better. I did purchase the Proline screw on style body mounds as well. They provide a much cleaner look, but when you lose them... which I did, they are more expensive to replace that a standard pin. As a result I am back to pins.
- Proline EVO SC Flo-tek body. All I can say is these bodies regardless of the style are more robust than the stock body due to a thicker gauge Lexan. These will last you much longer. Jconcepts also offers a nice line of bodies you may want to check out which in my opinion are in the same category as Proline.
- Traxxas aluminum wheel lock nuts (Anodized blue). This does not seem like that big of a deal, but once you lose a wheel on the track or bashing it will. These lock nuts are machines with sharp groves to help bight into the wheel hub. This will prevent that nut from ever backing out like the stock one can.
