Enhancing the Power of Your Slash
Gain control on your car’s speed and performance by enhancing the parts that your Traxxas Slash came with. You can replace the stock plastic steering bell crank unit with the aluminum version. You will see a big improvement on the steering control and durability. You will also be able to pivot freely on sealed ball bearings.
You also have to consider the kind of races you enter. For those who are highly involved in stock-spec racing, the factory Titan 12T motor is the most ideal. You can fully rely on this brand as it offers excellent speed. However, for open-class racing, you need something with a higher power capability. The best one in the market is called the Traxxas Velineon. This is the best out there when it comes to speed, power, and of course, reliability. The Velineon provides you with plenty of power for clearing the biggest jump sets and ripping down straight paths at daredevil speeds. The best thing about the Velineon is the virtual maintenance-free operation of the brushless motor. The said motor is fully protected with a casing so that no brush wears it out.
Brushless motors are better at handling stock gear ratios. You can also replace the plastic output yokes with hardened steel output yokes so that you Slash can better handle the increased power of the Velineon brushless system. You’ll see that the yokes can operate smoothly and are made from steel of good quality. The goal is to put an armor that fully protects your new toys while it doesn’t sacrifice performance.
