That is awsome, I am building one currently, when I added the serious power, it really shows the flaws. I would suggest traxxas big bores for affordability and function. Or if you can afford them the proline aluminum shocks for the slash. You want to keep your suspension travel short as you dont need alot in the mud. Od gears in front will help keeping the truck straight in the mud to.
A link to mine, ask if you have any questions. Outlaw Mud Truck?

I dig the blazer body. I run a castle sidewinder with a 4600 kv motor, sucks for crawling but when I get the itch mud flies!
p.s. isnt that a copy of a Peterson 4x4 offroad project rig?
