Which Traxxas brand upgrade parts should I buy?

[BubbaEinstein]

The LHS by me will be having a 40% off sale on some items and all of the "in stock" traxxas parts are included. They don't have much (mainly a plane/helicopter shop) but they do have some stuff...but it's only traxxas branded parts (no rpm or losi parts). I'm still a complete noob concering my truck (it's the standard slash - not the ultimate) so I figured while stuff is on sale I could buy some good upgrade parts.

Here is what is listed on Traxxas website as "upgrades" for my slash..are any of these worth it?
Also, are there any Traxxas spring kits I could buy that aren't necessarily for the slash but would fit? I'm a rough terrain basher by the way...

5862 – big bore shock set
6832x – aluminum caster blocks
6814 – center differential
6837x – aluminum steering blocks
6838x – aluminum rear shock tower
6839x – aluminum front shock tower
1952x – stub axle carriers
4760 – aluminum shocks long
4761 – aluminum shocks xlong


thanks!!

Get all of them its just a matter of time before you do all of these upgrades. At 40% what is stopping you?

Add sway bars to the list.

Any Lipos?

[dantheman5398]

basically get every upgrade you can get at 40% of

What's the difference between these:
5862 – big bore shock set (this contains 4 shocks)
and these:
4760 – aluminum shocks long (is this front? - contains 2 shocks)
4761 – aluminum shocks xlong (is this rear? - contains 2 shocks)

[ImprovEverywherE]

yes, front and rear.

the 5862 is better than other 2. 5862 has a bigger bore (holds more oil and bigger piston) comes with ti-ni shafts

center diff is not really for bashing, dont get the shock towers. the rest are popular upgrades

[ImprovEverywherE]

dont get traxxas lipos. they arent good.

[BROKENSLASH4X4]

Get RPM shock towers, and Proline powerstroke shocks, the rest are good, and @ImprovEverywherE, dont hate on traxxas on
their own website, the marshals will be all over you

[traxxasFTW]

like broken slash 4x4 said, go with rpm shock towers. And get either RPM body posts or a ton of traxxas ones, cause yo will go through them if you bash ahard like i do

Thanks guys that's the kind of info I was looking for!
