|  Slayer
So the Slash is pretty cool and I see several running them, curious though if anyone is running the nitro version, that Slayer.

I got my Slayer yesterday,broke it in then ran a couple more tanks through it,super fast,handles good,today I ripped the nitro stuff out and installed a new style E-maxx tranny and tomorrow the brushless stuff goes in!I have a brushless Slash and should be able to compare them tomorrow.

I succesfully completed it and ran it on my small Slash track today,and promptly caught it on fire,(the batteries did not care for the gearing choice),then installed a Trinity duo 550 5.5 brushless and a Venom 5400mah 3s lipo now it's fun!much faster than my MM 5700 powered Slash and handles awesome!I might get some pics tomorrow,if not, I might get a video on youtube sometime.

|  e-revo to e-slayer awd woo hoo! Quote:
 Glad to see you may change your mind I say go for the conversion. smaller wheel n tire set up would really rip! Convert it quick so we can race, my slayer arms n junk are in the mail. We could run em down the track & maybe even get enough local guys interested to have a class for em'. Fun,fun,fun | |

So why the electric mod? Not saying it's bad or anything, just wondering. Pretty cool truck though..... |

Looks top-heavy. How does it handle?

 I saw one of these running at our track this weekend. The suspension was stiff as hell and it was top-heavy. I think the guy jacked around with the suspension because it didn't soak up the bumps or dip the rear end like a typical Revo or like it shows in the promo videos. | |

I like electric! Nothing against nitro,it was way faster when it was nitro powered,but we live at 7000' and nitro can tend to be a real pain with 30-40 degree temp changes in one day and the humidity change can be as drastic,It might be a little top heavy but I am working on a new motor plate to clock the motor down as far as possible and I also ordered several different spring rates to help with the weight difference from the conversion,it is a lot lighter than before.I beat the crap out of it today for a couple of hours and it handles very well,runs for about 35 minutes with the 5400mah lipo that is in it and I can get about 20-25 minutes with a 3200mah lipo.Thanks for the pics,Sam |

Mule, The hobbyshop I work at just got 3 in stock. Check my sig for the link. I picked 1 up the other day and they are pretty bad-ass. Another winner from Traxxas |

| gotta be the first one, right?
well you had the first E- revo conversion but no one knew so now it is known who made the first E-slayer. it looks kick ass. big lipo, i would hurt myself (someone else) with all that. good job VW.
