Slash or Slayer???

[slasherbasher]

Hi, im some what new and i was wondering whats better? Oh, and i had plenty of experience with other electric and a nitro rustler. And I was wondering what has better durability, because R.C.'s seem to break around me >.<

P.S. feel free to move my thread i didnt know where to put it!

S.B.

um... I have a slash and its majorly durable... the only semi week point is the caster blocks but rpm makes new ones that are plastic but are almost as tough as aluminum I dont know about the slayer though

Slash or SC8.

[AJrc]

Get the associated sc10!

The Slash is unbelievable durable and pretty fun to bash around with right out of the box, plus it comes at a price you really can't beat. The slayer is cool because it is 4wd but becase it is nitro I really don't know a whole lot about it.





I wouldn't go with an SC10 or SC8 unless your going racing because it sounds like those trucks were designed for racing.

[Maxx man]

ya and theres no way the sc10 will be as durable as the slash... its based of the t4 wich is durrable but not nearly as much as the slash...

[slasherbasher]

hmmm, im still leaning towards the slayer......

If price is not an issue I would get a slayer, buy a brushless conversion kit for it, and sell the engine and other nitro components to get a good brushless system.

[Maxx man]

that would be awsome!!!! Ive wanted to get a nitro car and make it BL but thats really pricy and sometimes I want instant gratification... but I still love my kits:D

I owned a Slayer for a few weeks. IMO, it is the best car/truck traxxas has ever released. I thought it was super fast and responsive, fun to drive( watch out for roll overs.) and did not break at all. I thought it performed much like the "real deal". 4wd really made it easy to control in the sand and loose dirt. I give it a 9.75 out of 10.
I would love to try out a Slash, it looks like some fun, plus it is water proof. I have never heard any Slash owner say he or she regrets the purchase.
I sold the Slayer because I wanted out of nitro, and now I regret gettin rid of it and the Revo. My dumb a$$ fault, it will not happen again. Right now I am focused on selling off some stuff to purchace a Summit. I hope to have most of the money Monday Morning. I am selling 2 guns and a Snap On top tool box. That will be around 400-450, so I will be that much closer to owning the Summit.

go with the slayer nitro rules

[Maxx man]

get a slash and put a brushless system in it... it will still be cheaper then the slayer and plus... electric beats nitro!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive even proved it at my last race... I beat a guy that had a slayer and we were both driving really well:D btw ive got a vxl slash:)

[Fiero_Man_121]

hmmm i love fighting for someones soul dont you guys?

hmmm i love fighting for someones soul dont you guys?

Heck yes! IMO if etheir are eletric the Slash wins. The revo suspension I've never been a big fan of. Never know why, but I'd go slash with a VXL or IMO a better system, a sidewinder with 5400 KV motor and a 2s Lipo.

[Maxx man]

or if you have the money a mamba max:D

[slasherbasher]

I think i will get a brushless Slash......... if i get brushless from Traxxas is it still water-proof?

the vxl system is water resistant not water proof... so going through mud is fine but no more puddles...
