    The 2.5 TRX version yes, not the .15

    Best new nitro rc under 350

    Going vintage you will have issues sourcing parts and the cost of them will be more. You will be breaking parts since you are new to Nitro, best to buy something which can be sourced easily. Your best bet is traxxas.

    They are not good, it sounds like a great idea, but you will end up replacing it sooner or later. By all means try it and see how you like it.

    Have to agree, that body is just so good. Slash comes with a single speed tranny, no issues, I think its very solid. As a beginner, I say stick with EZ start since the car already comes with it, just make sure you let go of the EZ start button as soon as you hear the little motor having...

    Best new nitro rc under 350

    At first I was blown away by Traxxas EZ start, the realized its not that good, because that little motor starts smoking and just weakens over time. Then I though Rotor start was awesome, until I realized it destroys OWB's. Now once one knows how to tune the car properly, pull start is the way to...

    Fuel consumption difference would be negligible. Slash is a very light car and 3.3 carries it with ease, as long as you don't rung it pig rich, a tank of fuel will last you a good while.

    Slash goes fine on small grass, so buggy would be the same.

    The Slash I think is one of the best value for money nitros out there. Its a great car, the 3.3 carries that light chassis so well, and it does not wheelie all the time like the rustler, def one of my favorite nitro cars, I just need to replace that carb with something better. I guess it all...

    Best new nitro rc under 350

    Never heard or had this issue, had to do a quick google to find out what it is. I sold my Rustler a while ago, and kept the Slash, never looked back. We do own a Jato as well, which is the main reason Rustler had to go. Regarding the 3.3, again I have had and still have many Traxxas nitros, and...

    Best new nitro rc under 350

    Just curious... Why have you ruled out the Slash, in favor of a Rustler, since they are almost identical. I have had both, and from my experience Slash is a superior car in every way, mainly because of its longer chassis and 3.3 engine. Rustler just wheelies all the time, and not nearly as...
