Need Help to decide what to buy

[jwallen543]

Ok i am trying to decide what to buy my budget was $300 but i am think of stretching it up to $425 this is what i am looking at.

1/16th slash vxl 4x4

the rest are 1/10th
Bandit vxl
slash 4x4
slash vxl (i think it is 2 wheel drive)

I was thinking i wanted 4 wheel drive so i can go better in grass and off-road but what do you guys think i should do.

Of that list I'd go with the Slash 4X4 then the Slash VXL and then the Mini-Slash. I'd do it that way since you want to run in grass.

I wouldn't consider the Bandit since it's a RWD buggy and is a lot harder to drive in the grass.

Slash 4x4, Slash, Bandit then the mini Slash. Even though the Bandit is a 2wd buggy, it's the same set up as a Rustler. his means, if you don't like the way it handles off road, you can grab a couple parts and convert it to a Rustler. The Bandit is still a 1/10 scale, so it'll handle off road better than the mini.

^^+1 for the slash 4x4.

yea not the mini. the grass will burn up the motor. if you want a mini than go with the summit it has a lot more ground clearance. the slash 4x4 will do anything. its tough as nails. for on-road it has a great center of gravity. i have a rusty and i made it off road. i wish it was 4x4 though. you could also consider the 4x4 pede

If it were me, Id buy a Savage XS Flux Kit for $229 bucks and then Id get on ebay and buy a Castle Sidewinder SCT off of eBay for $52 bucks (for $65 you can get the new style that has a fan built into it.) and then Id buy either A Castle 1410 3800kv 4 Pole Motor for $43 or a Castle 1406 4600kv 4 Pole Motor[/COLOR] for $60 bucks.

Youd be looking at something between $324 and $354 depending on what electronics you pick. youd also have a very durable kit right out of the box and could go in grass and most any place you would care to drive it Just my .02

Thanks for all the replies I just ordered the slash 1/10 4x4.

You'll love it, they're great bashers.

I know that u are talking about buggy's here but I just want to let you know that if u r looking for something to drive in the grass and bash and even be able to race and have loads of fun with I would consider a traxxas stampede. It's a trucks style rc but it's great. I got one when I was younger and it still works great. I think we picked it up RTR for $200 something. I have put loads of time into the truck. You can customize it, get newer and better parts for it. I drive mine in grass, dirt, mud, etc... All I'm saying is think about it!!

The 4x4 slash is a good rig. I would invest in rpm a arms. Other than that the slash is a great basher very durable.

 

[joshman1204]

Slash is a great rig ... Look into RPM arms and some losi springs. The stock dual rate springs are a joke but the shocks are decent so just some good losi springs and you are good to go. I would also look into some new tires as the stockers have almost no traction on any surface.

 

[usv568]

I agree with joshman, I.ended up putting big bores on and did change the tires on my 2wd.

 

[Domijan91]

So I'm really leaning towards kyosho! Anybody have one? What do you guys think about them?

 

[usv568]

Domijan probably should start a new thread
