The Slayer is practically a revo 3.3 with a Slash body, smaller tires and shorter wishbones. The platform is completely different from Slash.

I was gifted a base 2wd slash almost 10 years ago and wasy first "hobby grade" rc car. I still have that car and not a single thing is left stock. Its now an lcg brushless monster beetle with wide rustler arms and lots of other upgrades over the 10 years. Its my favorite basher!

It’s always interesting to see reviews of more mainstream stuff like this. There’s a reason they’re so popular… I recently bought an Associated SC10 Pro4. I raced it at the last RC Kicks meet, and it’s brilliant. I upgraded the servo, because that was terrible, but the truck was £289 from Modelsport, so about £320 including the fast servo. It’s a 3300kV brushless 550 motor and *very* quick. In a straight line it’s the same speed as my 10.5T XRay buggy! Similar to the brushless 4x4 Slash, but significantly cheaper and no proprietary battery tech to mess about with. The Slash does look better though - Traxxas are king when it comes to paint jobs.

The Spec Slash racing class has been very popular at our local track. Basically pull it out of box and go racing. The Slayer 4x4 is based on the nitro Revo platform with inboard suspension and shorter arms. There is also the Drag Slash which is a 2wd LCG with the 272R trans setup up for on road Drag Racing.

Ill save everyone some time. Get the Traxxas Rally. Comes with the LCG chassis already, and the Rally is literally a lowered Slash. If you want you can always convert it to a Slash with a small part count. Get the metal shock caps immediately. Then you can start upgrading, when your bank account comes back from the ER. The Slash/Rally can take the upgraded diffs from the E Revo V2 that the Ultimate comes with. Its cheaper to get the Ultimate straight up with all the fruit, but if you're financially challenged, you can pick and choose what you want to upgrade over time, and some of the upgrades on the Ultimate you don't need straight away. And it allows you to cherry pick, what you are throwing your money at, and how often. Also GT shocks for a better handling Slash/Rally. Big bores for bashing. The Slayer is based on Revo platform.

I started RC in 1984 with a grasshopper followed by a Kyosho Salute and then a Cat Xls. Went back to it in 2008 with a Hot Bodies Cyclone D4... for about a year. However, it was the Traxxas Slash which brought me back to the hobby for good. I now have 4 Slashes and dozens of vintage RCs (I blame RC Kicks for that ;-) I think The Slash might be overpriced but it deserves a special place in the History of RC cars (The content on Dude Perfect is worth mentioning btw). Thank you Gavin for your amazing RC content.

Our local club (not large) has 20 or so spec slashes at most races. So much fun. The ultimate is a truly nice RC. I’ve driven them and VXL with the LCG Chassis added and I’ll take the ultimate. I think compared to alternatives - the ultimate is about 15% too expensive compared to competition. In America at local shops the slash 2wd with LED’s is $220. Ultimate is $499. Watching a bunch of stock brushed 2wd slashes race on largeish 1/8 scale dirt track is a HOOT!

Bashing short course trucks haven't really changed. The team associated sc10 pro comp 4x4 (released prior to 2014 when I bought it) . If you looked at that and the Traxxas Slash 4x4 vxl or the platinum ultimate basically the same... I did buy a Traxxas Slash platinum ultimate but as a secondhand roller.. (mainly because of parts access long term wise) . Other brands tend to delete vehicles. . I put a Hobbywing brushless combo in it . I also bought a Traxxas Slash body (clear so I could paint it myself) .. Can i say if the Traxxas is better than the team associated I'm unable to say as I haven't barrel rolled the Traxxas enough... I did install a dust/dirt/rock etc cover .. the fine dust will still get thru..

Wow not only are they numerically more expensive, but factor in exchange and you're paying significantly more than we are in the US for the Slash. Around here it's a lot of peoples' first fast RC. Short course trucks look pretty cool I think and they're fun to watch around the local track. There's a little more chaos than the buggy races :)

I have a Slash 4x4 that I bought years ago as a rolling chassis. I happened to have a VXL combo sitting around that I put in it. I think was an Ultimate edition from about ten years ago. It’s been a great truck and really showed me what Traxxas was all about. Pricy but fast, durable, easy and accessible fun. It’s a great truck. I wouldn’t say the are for racing, if you want to race short course there are better chassis out there, like Associated etc. Oh, if taking it over a lot of jumps, or racing it, you’ll want to put holes in the body as they tend to parachute a bit.

We have four of the slash platinums which were pretty much the same thing as the ultimate only had to supply a radio system and paint the body. We've had them for probably 8 years and they have been beaten unmerciful And has had very good luck and hardly have had any breakages And although I think Traxxas can be a douchey company they do make good stuff. The shocks on these I found to be great never an issue with them and work very smoothly. And I love how Traxxas actually makes decent battery hold down systems I hate when companies just throw a Velcro strap in a car and say good enough.

glad to see this one.. the slash is probably the rc10 of modern times. our club races the spec slash it would be the cheapest one you have there 12t titan and all.. only allowed to use your radio, traxxas metal shock caps, rpm rear carries and the rpm camber blocks up front. all the upgrades are only for longevity, last year we had over 30 at our slash event, and at regular club events we have a solid showing. the point of running them is it is a very affordable way to get people involved in the club level racing on a very simple platform. now with that being said, we as club racers using what we get in the box due a few things to make them preform better. if you run through the comments you will see that the slash is just a base platform, even some of the parts from the bandit fit it, Traxxas has most of its entry level stuff able to swap parts, that makes it nice when the shop carries basically all the parts so repairs dont require an order and waiting time.

( plus i had about 300 in beef upgrades ) but after jumping it off jumps at the skate park for days.. off of a 2 story house multiple times, hydro planing and sinking it into a lake, and running it into a wall at 50 mph and it still drove good. I could not believe how much it took and just kept going. The ONLY time i ever broke it was in -30c it broke a stock control arm when i ran it into my car, and when i landed on power with paddle tires and a fully charged 6000 3s it twisted the stub shaft right off on one corner.

It does feel like that I know, but if you take say a average Tamiya kit, £200, brushless motor and ESC £100, bearings £35, transmitter and receiver £50, servo, £35, paint, £10, you end up with £430 before you add any upgrades. You can easy get a Slash for that and not an entry level one. Granted it might not look as scale or detailed but you can beat on it with way less issues. Now yes, this is comparing apples and oranges really but personally it’s more down to our psychological dynamic. Stumping up one big lump of cash, always feels way more painful than loads of smaller purchases. Add that dynamic to you being able to purchase more smaller items independently, you get the fun feeling of purchasing more new things and that feels not only less expensive, but way more fun. Well, it feels that way to me when I look back on my Racing Cougar and what I have dumped into that buggy. So taking just the figures into account, RTR kits are basically the same. The only caveat to that would be if you purchase the RTR and instantly start swapping out parts and upgrading it. Then you are removing new parts that you paid for and spending even more replacing them. Then a roller or kit is a better way to go for sure. What do you all think, totality wrong observation or…?
