Traxxas Slash Upgrades Could Be Very Interesting
Traxxas Slash is often used for many different upgrades. People loves when they can do something on their truck. For me is quite boring when you buy car or truck and everything is assembled and ready to run or worst, you don't have option for upgrades. I like Traxxas because I could buy ready to run truck and than rearrange everything I want in order to get better performances. Traxxas Slash Upgrades are easy to be done cause parts are more than available.
Traxxas Slash Upgrades Tips
One of the biggest differences when you driving truck especially at high speeds is suspension system. The standard Traxxas system comes with progressive springs. Progressive springs are short at the top, long at the middle and again short at the bottom. You can compress them much further down but it takes more. They called progressive because the force trough the spring is not the same and this is quite annoying for me so I have replaced rear progressive springs with white springs with the same tension all the way across.
Those white springs in combination with little weight on the nose of truck keeps back nice and stiff so it jumps of the line without throwing front end of. To help modifying back you could place second side of spring and mount them across the back corner position of the A arm and angle up using the same shoulder pen as the front to connect with back. This is good concept and it's working perfect. Placing that springs so you have further out, you will have better manoeuvrability. Placing them more vertical you will have more up and down walk but less stability.
This is just one of many possible concepts so you can alter with suspension and different springs to see which will be best for you. That is the best of all, you can combine different parts to see even better performances. When you do Traxxas Slash Upgrades keep in mind that you take back pads to protect vital parts from dirt and other influences. This is something that is often forgotten.
Traxxas Slash Upgrades are popular as much as Traxxas Revo Upgrades so there is a lot of guys doing upgrades. It is great when you have some good replacing and upgrade tips especially in video form, when you don't know so much about your truck. You can always find someone who knows more than you and this should not be offense. For someone you will be a pro. Use you tube, and other sources that could help you save your money and time.
Traxxas Slash Upgrades are great way to have fun along with performances you will get with them. It is desirable to have great sources where you can get parts when you are planning to do Traxxas Slash Upgrades. I have read many reviews about Traxxas Slash and Revo Upgrades and found some great sites where you can find everything needed to do successful upgrade.
Here You can find very useful information and cool video tips about Traxxas Slash Bodies and accessories and Traxxas Slash 4x4 Upgrades.

Traxxas Brushless System - Best Electric System For Remote Controlled Trucks
What is Traxxas Brushless System? This is system that is used in many Traxxas trucks and it represent most efficient system. The only difference between brushed and brushless motor is that brushed motor has brushes and brushless motor has electronic commutation systems. Brushless motor also gives maximum torque in stationary position. One of the advantages of brushless motor is that you don't have to change brushess which are exposed constantly spending.
Traxxas has made many brushless motors since they are more payable and gives much better performances, so I have done short review about Traxxas E Revo Brushless Truck.
Traxxas E Revo Brushless Edition Truck With Dual Digital Waterproof Steering Servos
When we talk about quality and sophisticated remote control trucks that are capable for any kind of terrain, we should definitely mention Traxxas E Revo brushless edition models. All Revo models are designed to be brushless. This truck is ready for any kind of environment you could possibly think. The E Revo is the most advanced electric racing truck ever created, and also the winner of the RC Car Action Readers' Choice Award for Best Electric Truck.
This is one of the best trucks that combine speed and power. Motors such as Velineon 380, Titan 380, Castle 2200 kV, twin Titan 550 motor in some model gives those trucks ability to exceed 50 mph or more with drag torque and brutal acceleration. The motor is not the only thing that make this truck so powerful, in almost every variant of Revo models you will find super duty drive shafts, torque control slipper clutch, an over sized steel idler gear and rubber sealed bearing, hard-anodized teflon coated shocks with TiN shafts, and dual digital waterproof steering servo which are immune to any kind of wet environment and much more.
You don't have to do modifications to get extra power because all of the drive train and transmission components were designed from the start for exactly this type of high-amp, high-rpm horsepower. You can say goodbye to frequency conflicts and this is another advantage of having Traxxas E Revo Brushless Edition model. It has 2.4Ghz radio system that practically eliminates frequency conflicts while delivering signal at the long distance.
E Revo is definitely worth spending money on it. Revo trucks can't be even compared with other trucks for the same amount of money. This car is designed to provide lasting fun. You will really need to use magic to destroy this truck. There is some parts that are expendable such as tires and some parts of suspension but all in all, this is one of the most robust Traxxas model.
Since E Revo model is one of the most famous truck in Revo series, best of all is you can find original parts easily which is big advantage compared with others manufacturers. Probably you wont need parts often but if you are inexhaustible and you like to push the limit as much as I do, you will need good sources to buy parts from. This truck maybe is expensive, but you wont regret it trust me.
You can look at my great sources for any part you could possibly need for this and other famous models from this manufacturer such as Traxxas Slash 4x4 Upgrades. There is also great site about Fast Remote Control Cars if you like speed.
