hey regarding the Traxxas Slash, would you go 1/10 or 1/16 scale? Im looking at getting one for Christmas and see there are 2 different sizes offered.

1/10 without a doubt!

I dont know if this is still the case but those things were selling for BIG money for a while. No one was making replacement parts and when RC rock crawling started everyone was grabbing up clod buster axles. Now they make aluminum versions if I remember right though. I never got into rock crawling, looked fun to build one but crawling over rocks sounds like a snooze fest.

I would go with a 1/10. They are actually a few bucks cheaper and they handle jumps and just take a beating overall much much better.

The 1/16 is alot faster, but that comes at a price with an ill handling truck and more prone to crashes.

Ive owned quite a few RC Cars and I can say that electric cars SUCK. If your going to drop the money, go with a nitro car, no more waiting for batteries to charge or any of that electical nonsense.

I had a revo 3.5 and it was by far the baddest 4x4 rc truck that I ever owned.

I've been dicking around with "hobby quality" R/C cars for almost 20 years.

Electric cars now outperform nitro and with obviously less hassle, you're dead wrong homey.

FWIW I have nitro and electric kits and 8ish or so total.

Go to Mike's in Carrolton
