Hi, I got a slash a couple of weeks ago ad already got a maxamps 65 mph. lipo. I've seen some other hop ups that I'm probably getting like rpm parts. I was just wondering if there are any hop ups ya'll like. If so please tell me.:)

I got RPM arms for front and rear but not installed...waitin on stock ones to break or a rainy day.
Installed sway bar lit this weekend...cant tell much of a difference.
Want to get center diff kit as this has helped me control my Slayer Pro tremendously.
RUnning 2s 5200 40C with stock gears...all seems fine.
What kind of running u do?

The sway bar kit helped me out quite a bit. I am running the smaller silver one on the front and have the heavier black one on the rear. It seems to keep the inside front tire from wanting to lift into the air and unload. I also have a set of RPM arms that I am waiting to put on. Kinda in the same boat as B-rad, haven't broken the stocker and haven't had a good rainy day to put them on.
You already have the lipo so that is a big jump in the right direction.
If you are going to race, definitely get the center diff kit, esc fan, better tires (I am running super soft calibers on JConcepts Tense wheels). If you really want to wake this truck up, I just replaced my stock Velineon setup with a Tekin RX8 ESC and a Tekin SC4X 5.5 turn 550 motor. Made the truck so much easier to control and toss around the track.

Yes ...forgot i did install the esc fan also. Good upgrade.
Wanting to do tire upgrade also but i just cant decide...i start to order some then back out...lol...too many choices..lol
I am really waiting on tires due to waiting on new dirt to be delivered for our track and i really wana see what the stock tires do on it before i start throwin money out there.lol

I am using stock gears with stock vxl motor and esc. I also got a maxamps 4s 9000 xl 100c battery.

I've got swaybars installed, PL undertray w/ outerwears shroud (works great together), and a Hobbywing 120 amp 2700 kv combo that is awesome on 2s, but its good for 4s. I also run PL trenchers at the molment on split six beadlocks, I'm getting M3 calibers also on split six beadlocks. I've got RPM arms on the way and venom rear hubs (broke a stock one the 2nd lap out on the track http://blazerforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_doh.gif)

Just remember the vxl system you cannot run it on 4s. Who told you to buy the maxamp's 9000xl 100c battery. With the vxl system there is no need for a battery like that. You really only need a 3s 11.1v 30c battery, 100c there is no need for it your system will not pull that much power. There are alot better battery's out there for way less. Here is a great one;
