Traxxas Slash BL 2S review and upgrades

[@240brah]

Did you do new motor plugs when switching to the castle?

[@bigskyrcguy]

Yes with quick disconnects in between. What are you running?

@@bigskyrcguy my slash has the stock bl2s system, I’m not new to the hobby by any means but I’m trying to keep it relatively stock to stay competitive with some buddies, I hate the response time on the traxxas esc’s lol

[@bigskyrcguy]

@@240brah completely agree on the response time. It just takes so much control away

[@240brah]

@@bigskyrcguy were the wires coated? I heard the traxxas motor wires are a pain to solder

[@bigskyrcguy]

@@240brah I don't remember if they were or not

[@agordon7369]

Doing all those upgrades why didn’t you just buy the brushed version then? Outside of the motor/esc what else is different from the bl2s vs the brushed version.

[@bigskyrcguy]

I ask myself the same question. Hind sight is 20/20

[@agordon7369]

@@bigskyrcguy I was honestly wondering if there was some other big difference that would have pulled you that direction that I wasn’t aware of. I kinda did the same thing and bought an RB10 which I’ll need to change a lot to run at the track out here.

Just the gamble we take on new rigs I guess haha
