RE: need help traxxas slash 4x4 vxl upgrade
For overall speed, better gearing.
For better "punch" and power, upgrade the battery.
For better handling/traction, upgrade the tires and suspension
For better power in general, new ESC and motor.
This is how it is forpretty much any electric out there. The Slash 4X4 is a fine and capable basher, have fun!
If you upgrade the motor/ESC, btw, I would recommend upgrading the motor mounting plate and bearing as well, myself and many others have found issues with the old plastic bearing holder not doing its job and destroying bearings, as well as spur gears. I threw in a KingHeadz with a BOCA bearing in mine when I went to a Castle Creations electronics setup, haven't had an issue since!
