I am still running mine box stock with a 7 cell 4600 pack. It is waaaay fun to drive. I dropped in a 3s lipo in it and it really came alive!

| I've run about 8 battery packs through mine in the last few days... I've also had my radar gun out each of those times. Here the 'data' I've collected: Stock everything, 7 cells - 24mph Stock gearing, 15x4 540 motor, 7 cells - 30mph Stock gearing, 17x1 540 motor, 7 cells - 28mph Stock gearing, 17x1 540 motor, 6 cells - 24mph The motor was a bit overheated with the 15 turn motor run (220F). And then just a little too warm with the 7 cell/17 turn run (210F). And stayed pretty cool with the 6 cell/17 turn run (165F) and the completly stock run (145F). I'm leaning towards going back to the 15 turn, but drop 2-3 teeth on the pinion. Each of the 540 motors performed much better than the stock 12t Titan. It seemed to have a lot more power when off road and more top end when on road. |

| My rear bumper skid mount has come off a couple times as well. Only on one side, the other side I'd bolted down. And I first lost the passengers side Velcro and then the drivers side the next day. I replaced them with some Velcro of my own, and it holds a lot better. |

| Slash with a mm 7700?
I have a slash waiting for me when I get back on dry land. I have a mm7700 in my tc4 I was wondering what gearing you think I should try or if you think the 7700 would even work in the slash. Thanks, Jackson |

Honestly, just by dropping an 11.1v 3S li-po in it, it woke up and was floating over the rough stuff and pulling wheelies on asphalt!! |

| c0astie' slash
well i picked up a new slash on saturday, and it is set up very nice. today i picked up a traxxas brushless set up, and now i am just waiting for my 8 cell custom pack from cheapbatterypacks.com. i put some axial beadlocks on it with the stock tires, i moved the body mounts forward to make the wheelbase more scale. here are some pics. |
