Very fast with a 3s, great with a 2s. Good fun and reasonably strong, and of course easy to get parts for too.
The VXL speedie is a high amp esc that is very easy to use and easy handles a 3s lipo, unlike many high end esc's.
I will suggest you buy a fan for the speedie though.
 
It's a nice setup, the truck is built well to handle the extra power, has a beefed up drivetrain and things like that. The Valineon system is quite powerful and seems to be very durable from what I've heard.
 
Yeah it really depends on what you're looking for. Personally I prefer the scale looks and handling of the slash, but some people might want more of a stadium truck. Just do your research and decide then buy, because it sucks to buy something and then decide it's not really what you wanted.

Also, the Stampede makes a really nice little basher. It's similar to the Rustler and Slash, but it's a monster truck.
 
Well non VXL, i have owned rustler (didnt like) Stampede (OK) and now slash, (YAY) and i must say that it is the most fun i have had in a long time with an rc. It reminded me of the first day i drove my crawler on rocks, and played with the 5b. Its just so entertaining to watch.
