What are you referring to? Everything is stock with a brand new battery with only 2 cycles on it. Like I said before, the box says 35 stock out of box but I can only get 31Mph with an accurate gps on a long straight away. If I use the included larger pinion gear I should hit 40Mph but I don't, it only gets to 33Mph.Quote:

Traxxas will do anything to get that high mph on the box so that it can advertise to the people who are new to the hobby. It's all in the marketing of the product. So yes the slash 4x4 may be able to go 35mph out of the box but i guarantee that it will not be easy for you to achieve
ive had my 4x4 slash up to 73 MPH with a 3s 8000 mah lipo 13.5v
13.5v? Isn't it 11.1v? Ahh, I don't know. There are too many types :confused:Quote:

So now I will charge as high as I can. The only thing I will do now is recharge my stock 3000 mah batteries at 5 amps to see if I get any faster. On the box it says to use at least 4000 mah battery to achieve those speeds.

40mph+
You are going to have short battery life. Charging them at that high of an amperage is going to send them to a premature grave. I charge mine @ 3amps for the 3Mah and 5amps for the 5Mah. do ya see the association?Quote:
