I've found the slash to be one of the most versatile platforms in RC. Very easy to build just about whatever you want from it

@urineanimal 5 жыл бұрын

Only versatile due to a similar psychological process of sexual repression traits driving people with 1 extra IQ point above average to moddify these weak platforms to come 1% closer to everything else that is way cheaper, far more durable and faster out the box. I really wonder.... what level of financial fraud the parent company engages in to keep from going bankrupt. Maybe not.... after all, the customer gets what they pay for lol.

@@urineanimal some arent that good like the bandit but the design is quite old. The stampede alright. But in my opinion if your looking for an afordable basher id have to say the slash. Its a great basher with a few upgrades (shock caps) and can be fun for spec slash racing. I own a brushless slash 2wd and its good fun. May not be the greates track car but it is a decent basher. Also got a tmaxx and i love it. In the last bit are you referring to the nitro 4tec?

You had me all the way up to drilling holes in the top of the body for the speaker mount. I would’ve gone with Velcro myself as well as Velcro for the body mounts for a more authentic look. It’s too bad there isn’t a way to narrow the front end for a more realistic drag work and getting rid of some of the negative camber on the front end would be ideal.
