    The granite is my next option if the RPM arms don’t fix the issue.

    Does anyone know what size the part circled in red is? or where I can buy just that piece?

    @OBXTundra you asked about 2wd slash tires. I just put trenchers on my rear. OMG the hookup in dirt is insane. Totally different truck now, way quicker with less tire spin

    Ended up with Duratrax Six-Pack front and rear. Very happy so far. Much improvement over stock.

    What size trenchers? Already mounted and glued?

    They are the 2.2 trenchers. Premounted and glued. The only thing i wish proline did better was a deeper hub mounting, there is tons if wasted hub hex that would make a stronger connection. The traction is great though

    I picked up an axial ryft last week, I had a traxxas latrax that I loved to mess around with but was ready for a real rc car. This car is on a whole different level, crazy power in 4s and definitely takes a beating. I did brake a rear link on it by letting other people try and drive it up a rock wall.

    Don't let a kid out smart you.
    I love my 1/16 slash. It's perfect for inside and outside use. I've given it no mechanical sympathy for years now and it finally died recently. So i spent $100 on the Traxxas power up program and it now has a brushless motor instead of the titan 12t and it rips like no other. only complaint I've ever had about this car is the short run time on on battery. my recommendation is to buy another nimh battery for it and the parallel connector for 4000mah of fun(can't do that with the Lipos).

    Don't let a kid out smart you.
    I recently got my Axial SCX 10 running. I had already upgraded to metal steering knuckles metal links new shocks and I converted it to a CMS. But the old motor and esc died so I replaced with a $100 motor esc combo from spectrum. 3300kv motor and 40 amp esc. It has a lot more power than the old motor did and as a result it destroyed my front stock axle. So I dived down the rabbit hole of upgrading my axles to the SCX 10.2 axles (AR-44). I started with thinking a lot of thing where compatible between the two. Theres not. Pretty much only the front and rear lower links rear upper link, driveshafts, and wheel nuts were not replaced. All I'm waiting for now are the rear driveshafts and down the road I need to get a proper front upper link since the current one is made out of two old links and some washers but the geometry turned out correct thankfully.
