Re: Help Deciding on a new truck
I have a Slash 4x4, I love this truck. Its just the standard Slash 4x4, not the Ultimate. Its tough as hell. I am a pure basher, and run it hard. To date, I have only broke 1 drive axle (upgraded to metal ones now) and just recently broke a front diff. I have jumped this truck well over 10-12ft (See Pic)



I also have Pro-Line Power Stoke shocks & RPM A Arms as well. Aside from that, its pretty much stock.

I have never owned anything HPI, so I can't comment on personal experiance, but I dont know anyone around here that has one. Its pretty much all Traxxas and a few Losi trucks around here.

Re: Help Deciding on a new truck
Yes mine is the ''standard'' model as well. It seems to be pretty tough for the most part, but there are a few things I know I'm gonna break.. think I might just replace the front hubs before anything happens.. and the rears so I can start using it again. And leds in canisters for the front bumper.



Damn that's a huge jump!

Re: Help Deciding on a new truck
You could also go with the RPM replacement parts. Might be a bit cheaper than aluminum.


Sorry didn't go to the end of the thread. RPM's already mentioned.
