    Father's Day Wishlist

    So my wife comes up to me today and asks what I want for father's day. Jokingly I said r/c parts, and she said make a list, lol. So now I'm trying to decide on what to get. So here it is so far

    'Pede 4x4:
    trenchers or badlands
    I honestly dont know, I only have rpm arms right now. So stuff thatll help suspension and survivability

    Slash 2x4 vxl:
    streetfighters
    anza lcg conv
    pro-trac suspension

    I'm open to any and all suggestions. Isn't my wife the best?

    Pede
    MIP CVD's
    Big Bores
    Go trenchers, unless your driving on 100% loose dirt.
    Maybe the aluminum castor blocks and knuckles, although the stock ones are working fine still for me.

    Slash
    Same as above, only different tires. :P

    My slash will never get air, intentionally. It is strictly for the street and speed. I also want to get a lipo for the pede, so I was thinking a 2s 25c 4000. Do I really need a 3s for bashing? And i know i need the mip cvd's before i even try a 3s, I just dont think i need one for bashing

    2s is fun for bashing. All I use right now. 25c 4000 mah might be a bit short on the current. Only 100 amps. a 25c 5000mah will give you 125 amps, and more run time. Higher C rate batteries are always better, and will last longer. 40c from gens Ace seem pretty populare on the pede. if the ESC can "overdraw" the battery in amperage, it can damage it, or atleast shorten its life.

    i bought street fighters on desparados and taped them. I actually like the stocks for street better. you can slide a little with out rolling it over.

    I love the Trenchers for off road. Good on gravel, grass, dirt, rock, etc. I'm sure the stock tires would be better on road. I always switch back to them for that application. I didn't tape mine but I think I'll try that the next time. They do visibly grow at high speed. I also like how they're not directional, so you can rotate them to any position.
