Congrats on the new toy. Tekno is definitely a proven brand. If you get a Slash Ultimate then you could directly compare it to your Tekno. The Slash 2wd is a completely different car compared to theSlash Ultimate 4x4. The Slash Ultimate has a very low center of gravity and with its TQI receiver with stability control will make a very nice RC for the weekend warrior who just wants to turn it on and go. My son loves his still and we have many different RC’s.
