I did this, had a sc10rs and a 2wd raptor slash, did a LCG, Proline protrac kit, trenchers, castle 4600kv combo etc etc, sc10rs still a better and faster truck.
My biggest reason for going with Traxxas is they have been selling the same vehicles for many years, so it never becomes outdated. I have Associated and Losi sitting on my shelf for many years and will not run them because of fear of breaking parts that they no longer sell. Traxxas is perfect for me as I only bash around the track any more. If I was into racing again, then I would have the others.
Yeah he even mentions in the video that even if he were comparing it to the VXL version that he'd still give the win to Team Associated. Great review and comparison btw, @Chase! Super informative and thorough, hitting on all the right spots without a bunch of fluff.
Great comparason. The SCT class is still one of my favorites once you separate the totally new drivers from the consistent drivers. Too bad it has died off here in Denver for racing.
I had both and had a problem with a defective diff in the sc10 that several other racers at our track endured so I sold the sc10 and kept the slash and never had issues and set up right the slash will and does give the sc10 a run for it's money. I have also never broke anything on my slash but that might depend on your driving ability.
Y'all need to calm down. The point of this is not whether it is "fair" but to compare two of the leading short course trucks someone may consider today. To many buyers, this comparison is extremely useful. Most buyers know that one model should outperform the other with the 33% price difference. The question in their minds is "why" and "how," and is the higher price worth it.
True but why compare a professional car to a basher? If you’re buying an rc car you should already know if you are ready for race quality vs bashing quality
@@3dprintinglibrary335 True that. He compared an entry level Traxxas, to a mid grade T.A. Not really a fair comparison. It’s like comparing a six cylinder Camaro to a GT 500 Mustang. Two highly different classes of car.
I disagree, if you want to compare apples to apples then compare apples to apples not apples to oranges!! if you want a fair comparison either buy the cheap Brushed version of the associated truck or the Brushless vxl version of the slash..... just common sense
I have ran my SC10.2FT up to 81MPH with the 2-pole Velineon vxl geared 35/69. Running Traxxas Anaconda Tires. My Slash L.C.G. running the same system, gets 73MPH. The only thing I can come up with, the SC10.2FT is a lot lighter weight.
Slash = 90% Basher and 10% Race Truck. SC10PRO = 90% Race Truck and 10% Basher. With the exception I never broke my SC10.2FT out bashing, and have broken my Slash a few times...
I still have a few videos of my SC10.2 F.T. running no body, and my gopro stuck on the battery strap. I was chasing B5M buggies and everything else I could catch! I was running a 1410 1Y 3'800 KV on a 2S 5'000 mah 50C, and it was pretty indescribable for the most part 😈
@@bustedaw11 Can you list the differences? In the end it's all about geometry and adjustability. Everything else is just a bolt-on. Where are the Slash's chassis faults?
@icin4d the difference between a slash and stampede? Body post's, chassis, wheels/tires, body and bumpers. Same suspension, same transmission, same hubs etc. Slash 2wd is not a racer by design.

What’s the speed like between the two? I have that prosc10 coming and buddies have the slash. I also have a set of those white rims you put on coming. I liked those in your other videos.
I like Team Associated but its so hard to get parts. I have a RC10B3 and I'm just having troubles finding 2.0 tires for it. Nothing is broke on it but its a joke that the only reason i can't drive it is no tires.So that being said the slash wins all the way. Im looking at getting the slash pro now just cause parts are everywhere.
Awesome comparison brotha! I watched all ur videos on ur 2wd slash hcg converted to a track truck, it inspired me to do it to mine n went n got a bunch of stuff to convert my 2wd hcg slash into a track slash! I was just gonna buy a different truck but after I seen ur vids I wanted to build one of my own. I bought so many parts that I could probably build it without even taking anything from my original hcg slash,it’s probably gonna end up like that just building one n turning the hcg slash into a monster slash👍👍👊👊📹📹
I don't get why people say bad comparison with the slash and pro sc10. If you had even the brushless vxl slash it would basically be the same thing as the xl5 slash. I know the pro sc10 would win easily but this video can help others making decisions based on what short course truck to buy
I actually use a slash with an associated truck's internals. The associated truck just. Kept. Breaking. And the slash is durable, and its so much faster now.
Seems pretty biased comparing a 2008 era slash to a new SC10. A fair comparison would have been a slash Ultimate or Platinum with the LCG chassis which have comparable price points.
Comparable price points? The SC10 currently sells for $300. The Platinum (discontinued now) sells for $400 and the Ultimate is north of $500. Those two are also 4WD where the SC10 is 2WD so I don't think it makes sense to compare 2WD vs 4WD. That being said, yeah he's comparing a $300 brushless 2WD RC to a $189 brushed 2WD vehicle. So by that same standard, yeah the SC10 should be better. I suppose it'd be more fair if he upgraded the slash with the LCG & a brushless setup.
Traxxas started this class and losi and associated perfected it! The slash is a basher! It cannot hang with the competition. I own 2 slashes a sc10 rtr first gen and a sc5m. Associated is leaps bounds ahead of the slash.
what a crappy comparison. These two are not even in the same class. Not only is one brushed and the other brushless but the SC10 pro also has a whole crap load of hop ups right out of the box in the RTR version. Frankly I don't even think the brushless Slash compares to the SC10 pro.
pouncey007 I have the vxl ultimate and it’s top notch out the box with all the upgrades already done and it’s freaking awesome beats any one of my buddies rc’s
So I have a Helion Volition XLR and it's pretty clear Helion copied a lot form the SC10. With the tops off, it's very similar. Pretty much same chassis. Been like a tank for me. I love it. I got it 25% off from my local hobbytown at $185 on sale for their brushless setup. Only downfall is that it's now discontinued and part support for me in time will get harder & harder.

guys. do i get the prosc10 or the ProSC10 Rockstar RTR. im ready to order soon. just need to know which one is newer or better and why if possible. thnx
Must ask you for some help. My kid have the 2wd slash and i have notist that the back end drops down and stays ther, i just cleand and change the hincpins for the strc and i checht the shocks for oil. But still it drops down and stay ther, what can the problem be? I also chect the shockshafts for bends and stuff, and they wher fine.
One point to note the ProSC10 can be raced at an Official Roar race. There is no Roar Approved Traxxas products, that should tell you something right there.
Actually on on the Traxxas Slash all you have to do is swap the hex nut from front to back and once you've mounted the tires, all you have to use is a little washer for the front only to tighten the nut, and basically you're able to use all wheels of same diameter front and back.
@John Lujan If you are getting it to do actual dirt oval racing, I would go the correct way in doing street stock with starting out with a buggy. I got a bandit vxl and ripped out the esc and motor and sold it for $140 and replaced them with a hobbywing esc and motor and got different body posts and mounts for the body and sold the bandit body for $25. Then I dropped the shocks with 1/2 spacers inside and 80w and 25w shock oils and put an anti slip mount and 32 spur gear. I also got associated wheels and proline tires for it and I am going to get a spectrum radio and 2 receivers so I can link it up with my mudboss as well and I will sell the stock radios and receivers. The team associated street stock isn't the best for oval racing (watch the AMainHobbies video on it) and I dont think that many tracks allow it unless you do major work on it. So its better to convert a buggy and be able to tune it yourself with getting different things for it. But I would talk to someone at your local track to see what they say about it. Also, if you go with converting a buggy, everything pays for its self for the most part after you sell the electronics and parts you dont need.
the day I got my slash it was 30 degrees and I broke a nerf bar. once I gained experience I bashed it. it has been 1 and a half years of bashing and I have never broken another nerf bar. there is no way your going to convince me their a weak spot.
You’re saying you broke hinge pins on your Slash. I had my Slash for almost 4 years and I haven’t broken one single part from that truck yet and almost all my stock hinge pins were all kinda rusted out. Also, this comparison doesn’t make sense at all. If you compared the Slash 2WD LCG Chassis with a Velineon VXL brushless system with the SC10 Pro that already comes with a brushless motor setup, then that would be a better comparison.
Umm, ya know that the Slash 4x4 Brushless VXL exists right man? Edit: you know that that model of slash is most likely older than the team associated and if you want more performance get a higher performance version of slash, no I am not a Traxxas fanboy but I do belive that i found a solution to your problem.
I own both short course trucks and you can’t really compare them. For 180 or 220 you get a ready to go short course compare to a a sc10 it’s 300 or 340 depending the place where u buy it from. It’s just the kit. You have to build which kits come with plenty of upgrades especially team associated with all the aluminum parts. With the sc10 you have to buy everything for it.The motor, esc, servo, batteries, and probably a remote if you don’t have one. Really unfair Comparison if you ask me.
@@calcowtv3936 no worries, there are like 10 different "SC10"'s that Associated has put out, it's super confusing. This is referred to as the "ProSC10".
Look if ur raceing go TA if ur a bashing type get a traxxas ps idk what traxxas is doing with there stearing servos I’ve owned a slash for 7 years and never once have had to replace or fix my stearing servo or my esc or anything else personally traxxas is better why buy a truck that has problems out of the box?
Would’ve been a better and more fair comparison, if the two trucks were more closely outfitted. As in both having 2 and 3s compatibility. Both having brushless motors, etc. You can’t compare an entry level truck, with a more competitive higher end model. Even if they were the same brand, it still wouldn’t be fair. If that Slash had a brushless system in it, it’s electronics would be better. It’s servos would be better to handle the additional stresses and Power. Almost everything on it would be of better quality, and not just because of the price. But it would be a step up from entry level components, to a more race ready vehicle. Not a fair review at all. And no I’m not a big Traxxas fan, I’m a Losi fan, so I am not biased one way or the other. For Traxxas or Team Associated. You did not do a Head To Head comparison, as it states in the title of your video.
Apples to oranges. Also, the sc10 looks modern? Looks just like all the old stuff you see hanging in the hobby shop with 20 years of dust on it. Neither one of them looks modern but you can only do so much innovating on a little toy truck.
I think that base slash is exactly what its supposed to be ,cheap and not as big as a gamble for people who aren't yet sure if they like rc or parents not sure if their kid is just going through a faze .slash is infinitely tunable and could be built up piece by piece if your a kid or dad on a budget while you gain experience ,the associated is for established people who are ready to race .
Thae slash 2wd brushless is exactly the same as the brushed one. The brushless slash also costs the same as the team associated. So basically he’s comparing the slash 2wd vxl and the team associated.
Hard to control? My friends never had driven before, drove a stock Slash 2WD at the track and couldn't make it around without crashing every other turn. I let them drive my Associated B5M buggy and they were instantly flying. Good tools make the job easier.
Why the hell are you comparing these two side by side and pointing out things about traxxas that was made in 2008, which was a complete innovation back than! Now everyone is carrying these trucks and you are comparing it to a truck that’s double the price and complaining about tires that are t the same, are kidding me, do it things right or stop making videos!
If you want a real budget sc truck get a redcat blackout sc pro it's faster than the slash and associated sc trucks it's cheaper and comes with a brushless motor and 2s lipo
LOL: Easybto break Commenté au Canada le 1 février 2021 Achat vérifié Easy to break. Losing parts off of it licke the peice that hold the springs on the shocks Second use lost 2 Fast but no tracktion at all out of those tires
@@borisgourbeau616 well it's a Budget rc I've only broken the front shocks and stripped the gear because I have a 1/10 mamba monster running 4s , the tires are cheap but still do good on dirty and grass it doesn't have sway bars so it can flip over easy but for the price it's unbeatable it's a good quality truck all three sc truck brands can break they are all Plastic ...Hobao sells a sc truck that's around the same price that comes with a metal chassis and lil more upgrades than the stock ones that Traxxas , Redcat and team associated have to offer
ManuelOrtizification I don’t need to make it look bad, it IS bad. I’ve also spent $1000 upgrading my Slash into a race truck, and it is better than the ProSC10 then. But just barely.
Razor RC I have both and I race 3 times a week and I'll put my slash up against and other manufacture and win 95% of the races I'm in ... Just saying !!!.. btw it's not stock so I may have a slight advantage
Never have a heard a more bias review or comparison of 2 rc trucks. You can't compare a brushed system to a brushless system fairly when it comes to performance.
INFO MUTT I’ve owned 7 Traxxas vehicles and 8 Team Associated vehicles. I wouldn’t call that biased at all. I know it’s hard to believe, but the ProSC10 is a better truck.
very poor comparison. Sure seems like a lot of people race Traxxas. Maybe you should have compared the vxl version? Durability sure doesn't seem like an issue on my slash. Have a losi baja rey also so no fanboy.
@@EBthere well, personally I've bent nearly every hingepin on this truck, and this is a pretty common problem that other people experience. I feel they are the softest hingepins I've ever had on an RC car I've owned. IMO, Traxxas uses pretty poor metals on their 1/10 scale -- shock shafts, hingepins, and pinion gears are pretty low grade steel.
@@EBthere Sorry, didn't meant to come off that way, it's all good, I'm glad to hear your opinion. For SCT, I've raced a stock Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4 VXL, fully modified Slash 2WD, Associated ProSC10, Associated SC6.1, and TLR 22SCT 2.0. If you've had better luck with your Slash 2WD, maybe you're a better driver than me and crash less! 🙂
so you are comparing a truck thats over $300 to a truck thats less than $200?? cmon dude compare a $300 truck to a $300 truck to be fair. if you had compared a $300 slash to the ream associated the results would be a bit different. a lcg truck is different than a hcg truck. big thumbs down on your biased opinion.
Preloaded review from a bias person. You know you just ruined alot of peoples opinion in under 15mins about you. I don't even like Traxxas but I wouldn't be this way about it.
yeah couldn't hang, there's no logical reason to compare these trucks, and even less reason to waste time watching once you figure out what its about. these trucks are from completely different worlds....
Why you reading that? I own a Maxx, TRX4, Rustler and used to own 2 slashes, 2 slash 4x4’s and a stampede 4x4. So you might be wrong. I just call it like I see it.
@@RazorRC Chill man. I was just jokeing ;) But you complain a lot about the slash. Btw. Thank you for this video. You helped me to chose the traxxas slash. And I got a vid with it on my channel. Got the 2wd brushed OBA 😅
/one of the most durable is ever made you don't know what you're talkin about that in the rustler you have no clue go back to collecting baseball cards
Comparing a $180 base model
Slash vs. a $300 Pro....yeah....
jdmikeg4 it’s called pro but it’s just a plain rtr truck . Nothing like the team kit
Agreed. I feel like the $319 LCG VXL would have been a better comparison.
Traxxas fanboy
With the extra $110 you can get Traxxas LCG kit, Proline Protrac System and shocks and you have nearly equal cars.
Still be a junk Traxxas with a brushed motor, and junk esc
Spend extra 50 to get a nice motor and esc for the slash.
Team Associated is still better
I did this, had a sc10rs and a 2wd raptor slash, did a LCG, Proline protrac kit, trenchers, castle 4600kv combo etc etc, sc10rs still a better and faster truck.
Ian Thompson sorry team associated isn’t better then traxxas theres a 100 dollar difference between the two
My biggest reason for going with Traxxas is they have been selling the same vehicles for many years, so it never becomes outdated. I have Associated and Losi sitting on my shelf for many years and will not run them because of fear of breaking parts that they no longer sell. Traxxas is perfect for me as I only bash around the track any more. If I was into racing again, then I would have the others.
Should’ve compared a slash of the same price
Vxl slash is same exact truck but with a brushless motor that likes to run hot.
Velinion systems are junk.
Well in the slashes defense he's putting a $300 rc truck compared to a $200 rc truck
Well the brushless slash is close to $300 and if basically the same thing just with brushless
Yeah he even mentions in the video that even if he were comparing it to the VXL version that he'd still give the win to Team Associated. Great review and comparison btw, @Chase! Super informative and thorough, hitting on all the right spots without a bunch of fluff.
Slash is trash

ProSC10 is pretty impressive!!! SC10 blended with the SC5, and loving that it's finally running metric hardware!!! ;)

Awesome video and great info. I have the Slash LCG version. Wish I had seen a video like this before I had bought mine hehe.
One point to note the ProSC10 can be raced at an Official Roar race. There is no Roar Approved Traxxas products, that should tell you something right there.
Is the Trophy Rat or DB10 approved or no because the body?
They both seem to meet Roars dimensional requirements, so It would be an approved platform.
I would love to see both of them cutting the rug!!! ;)
Quite nice comparison! What do you think about the 4x4 slash?
Razor RC that's nice to hear since I recently bought one!
Actually on on the Traxxas Slash all you have to do is swap the hex nut from front to back and once you've mounted the tires, all you have to use is a little washer for the front only to tighten the nut, and basically you're able to use all wheels of same diameter front and back.
yeah I didn't understand his gripe, all my wheels are the same size and offset?
Well said, I almost went with the slash vxl, but money wise you get a lot more with team associated. Parts are better over all.
I thought the $320 vxl slash had the high C.G. Chassis. And the $360 slash with the O.B.A. was the Low C.G..
dlc, yay.
Better Suspension
Better Traction
Better Pizza
Papa Johns 👍
U should compare the 2wd slash to the OG sc10 brushed (also from 2008)
Wes Kelley well, they don’t sell the SC10 anymore, but they still sell the exact same Slash. That’s kinda the point of this video.
Razor RC that’s true but there is one left in stock on amazon SC10 KMC wheels rtr
Razor RC just an idea u dont have to do it obviously. It is still over priced at $300. Depends on how much ur making per vid if its worth it for u
@John Lujan If you are getting it to do actual dirt oval racing, I would go the correct way in doing street stock with starting out with a buggy. I got a bandit vxl and ripped out the esc and motor and sold it for $140 and replaced them with a hobbywing esc and motor and got different body posts and mounts for the body and sold the bandit body for $25. Then I dropped the shocks with 1/2 spacers inside and 80w and 25w shock oils and put an anti slip mount and 32 spur gear. I also got associated wheels and proline tires for it and I am going to get a spectrum radio and 2 receivers so I can link it up with my mudboss as well and I will sell the stock radios and receivers. The team associated street stock isn't the best for oval racing (watch the AMainHobbies video on it) and I dont think that many tracks allow it unless you do major work on it. So its better to convert a buggy and be able to tune it yourself with getting different things for it. But I would talk to someone at your local track to see what they say about it. Also, if you go with converting a buggy, everything pays for its self for the most part after you sell the electronics and parts you dont need.
@John Lujan yup no problem.
the day I got my slash it was 30 degrees and I broke a nerf bar. once I gained experience I bashed it. it has been 1 and a half years of bashing and I have never broken another nerf bar. there is no way your going to convince me their a weak spot.
I hav a vxl 4x4 slash an it snaps axels like crazy
You’re saying you broke hinge pins on your Slash. I had my Slash for almost 4 years and I haven’t broken one single part from that truck yet and almost all my stock hinge pins were all kinda rusted out. Also, this comparison doesn’t make sense at all. If you compared the Slash 2WD LCG Chassis with a Velineon VXL brushless system with the SC10 Pro that already comes with a brushless motor setup, then that would be a better comparison.
I have had 3 traxxas slashes and have never broke anything
Umm, ya know that the Slash 4x4 Brushless VXL exists right man?
Edit: you know that that model of slash is most likely older than the team associated and if you want more performance get a higher performance version of slash, no I am not a Traxxas fanboy but I do belive that i found a solution to your problem.
I own both short course trucks and you can’t really compare them. For 180 or 220 you get a ready to go short course compare to a a sc10 it’s 300 or 340 depending the place where u buy it from. It’s just the kit. You have to build which kits come with plenty of upgrades especially team associated with all the aluminum parts. With the sc10 you have to buy everything for it.The motor, esc, servo, batteries, and probably a remote if you don’t have one. Really unfair Comparison if you ask me.
This is the ProSC10, not the SC10 kit. $299 pre-assembled ready to run. Has nothing to do with the SC10, totally different truck.
Since when was the team associated sc10 $300

Ohh, ok i was thinking of something else! Sorry lol
@@calcowtv3936 no worries, there are like 10 different "SC10"'s that Associated has put out, it's super confusing. This is referred to as the "ProSC10".
Razor RC haha yeah they just need to make a few lol
Nice job as usual !
what if you put a Toro motor in it, then compare performance :D
picked up a SC 10 to day for $125 seems to run so far
Look if ur raceing go TA if ur a bashing type get a traxxas ps idk what traxxas is doing with there stearing servos I’ve owned a slash for 7 years and never once have had to replace or fix my stearing servo or my esc or anything else personally traxxas is better why buy a truck that has problems out of the box?
I broke my servo but its imo best rc ever built
Would’ve been better comparison if the slash had atleast a vileneon motor
Bro on the slash the main issue is the shafts get it clear
Conclusion?... Basher vs race machine!
Would’ve been a better and more fair comparison, if the two trucks were more closely outfitted. As in both having 2 and 3s compatibility. Both having brushless motors, etc. You can’t compare an entry level truck, with a more competitive higher end model. Even if they were the same brand, it still wouldn’t be fair. If that Slash had a brushless system in it, it’s electronics would be better. It’s servos would be better to handle the additional stresses and Power. Almost everything on it would be of better quality, and not just because of the price. But it would be a step up from entry level components, to a more race ready vehicle. Not a fair review at all. And no I’m not a big Traxxas fan, I’m a Losi fan, so I am not biased one way or the other. For Traxxas or Team Associated. You did not do a Head To Head comparison, as it states in the title of your video.
You're compared a trk that was made 10yrs ago makes no sense
Xmaxx Fan it’s 2wd.
@@whatswiththissassylostchilld2wd Vxl with LCG would have been a lot more fair
1st short course truck? Don’t forget about the rc-10GT, old honorable mention 😂😂
stadium truck not short course.
My slash has 3 stock parts left... Even stainless srews
I'm a slash kind of guy it's the best I own a 4x4 traxxas slash keegan kincaid edition
Apples to oranges. Also, the sc10 looks modern? Looks just like all the old stuff you see hanging in the hobby shop with 20 years of dust on it. Neither one of them looks modern but you can only do so much innovating on a little toy truck.
I think that base slash is exactly what its supposed to be ,cheap and not as big as a gamble for people who aren't yet sure if they like rc or parents not sure if their kid is just going through a faze .slash is infinitely tunable and could be built up piece by piece if your a kid or dad on a budget while you gain experience ,the associated is for established people who are ready to race .
Thae slash 2wd brushless is exactly the same as the brushed one. The brushless slash also costs the same as the team associated. So basically he’s comparing the slash 2wd vxl and the team associated.
2wd Vxl with LCG would have been a lot more fair...
You can’t compare a pro sct vs a basher
2008 vs 2018... 180$ vs 300$...
Right
Doesn’t make sense at all 😕😒
Yes let’s compare the basher/ beginner model car against the race ready hard to control expensive car.
Hard to control? My friends never had driven before, drove a stock Slash 2WD at the track and couldn't make it around without crashing every other turn. I let them drive my Associated B5M buggy and they were instantly flying. Good tools make the job easier.
@@RazorRC nice deflection! totally ignored the point of putting a base model against a race ready model lol
On the weaknesses you forgot to add the hub carrier's to the list. They are a poor design!!! Lol
Nice comparo. 👍
cool traxxas win for me the slash is a legend
so just buy TEAM ASSOCIATED
I have a highly modified slash and I love it, check it out in my latest video!
I have both of the trucks and the team associate SC10 it's not well built flimsy cheap plastic!
this is the ProSC10, not the SC10
Why the hell are you comparing these two side by side and pointing out things about traxxas that was made in 2008, which was a complete innovation back than! Now everyone is carrying these trucks and you are comparing it to a truck that’s double the price and complaining about tires that are t the same, are kidding me, do it things right or stop making videos!
Basically
These trucks are almost the same
If you want a real budget sc truck get a redcat blackout sc pro it's faster than the slash and associated sc trucks it's cheaper and comes with a brushless motor and 2s lipo
LOL: Easybto break

Easy to break. Losing parts off of it licke the peice that hold the springs on the shocks
Second use lost 2
Fast but no tracktion at all out of those tires
@@borisgourbeau616 well it's a Budget rc I've only broken the front shocks and stripped the gear because I have a 1/10 mamba monster running 4s , the tires are cheap but still do good on dirty and grass it doesn't have sway bars so it can flip over easy but for the price it's unbeatable it's a good quality truck all three sc truck brands can break they are all Plastic ...Hobao sells a sc truck that's around the same price that comes with a metal chassis and lil more upgrades than the stock ones that Traxxas , Redcat and team associated have to offer
entry level vs racer.... the 10yr old base model traxxas holds up well in this comparison, but you still try to make it look like bad lol
ManuelOrtizification I don’t need to make it look bad, it IS bad. I’ve also spent $1000 upgrading my Slash into a race truck, and it is better than the ProSC10 then. But just barely.
Seemed a little bias comparison towards the Associated Truck
Razor RC I have both and I race 3 times a week and I'll put my slash up against and other manufacture and win 95% of the races I'm in ... Just saying !!!.. btw it's not stock so I may have a slight advantage
Never have a heard a more bias review or comparison of 2 rc trucks. You can't compare a brushed system to a brushless system fairly when it comes to performance.
Rodney McMillen You apparently missed the point, and that was there is more options out there than just the TraxxASS trash.
🤔
You have a very bias opinion towards team associated Traxxas will still smash them.
INFO MUTT I’ve owned 7 Traxxas vehicles and 8 Team Associated vehicles. I wouldn’t call that biased at all. I know it’s hard to believe, but the ProSC10 is a better truck.
Traxxas will smash associated ? Hahahahaha no dude never
You put a brushed vs brushless. I love them both but the Vxl traxxas is built better.
Massive difference between the 2wd and the 4wd the 2wd is just rubbish on wheels
I'm searching only for 2wd, 4wd wasn't that funny tho
You do know there isn't a 4wd in this video right?
Ok
very poor comparison. Sure seems like a lot of people race Traxxas. Maybe you should have compared the vxl version?
Durability sure doesn't seem like an issue on my slash. Have a losi baja rey also so no fanboy.
EBthere pull your hingepins and kingpins. I bet half of them are bent and you don’t even know it.
@@EBthere well, personally I've bent nearly every hingepin on this truck, and this is a pretty common problem that other people experience. I feel they are the softest hingepins I've ever had on an RC car I've owned. IMO, Traxxas uses pretty poor metals on their 1/10 scale -- shock shafts, hingepins, and pinion gears are pretty low grade steel.
There we go. All fixed and I won't give my opinion on your videos again.
@@EBthere Sorry, didn't meant to come off that way, it's all good, I'm glad to hear your opinion. For SCT, I've raced a stock Slash 2WD, Slash 4x4 VXL, fully modified Slash 2WD, Associated ProSC10, Associated SC6.1, and TLR 22SCT 2.0. If you've had better luck with your Slash 2WD, maybe you're a better driver than me and crash less! 🙂
I here you and we're fine. Take care.
so you are comparing a truck thats over $300 to a truck thats less than $200?? cmon dude compare a $300 truck to a $300 truck to be fair. if you had compared a $300 slash to the ream associated the results would be a bit different. a lcg truck is different than a hcg truck. big thumbs down on your biased opinion.
Preloaded review from a bias person. You know you just ruined alot of peoples opinion in under 15mins about you. I don't even like Traxxas but I wouldn't be this way about it.
Dude, that’s apples and oranges. Traxxas is junk. Team Associated makes real RC cars.
Matthew Byrd yea for a while i was going to buy a traceable rustler vxl but then I went to a rc off-road track and I was like “I need one”
This video is trash. $190 brushed truck against a $300 brushless truck. Hmmmmm
yeah couldn't hang, there's no logical reason to compare these trucks, and even less reason to waste time watching once you figure out what its about. these trucks are from completely different worlds....
This guy really hates traxxas 🤣🤣🤣
Why you reading that? I own a Maxx, TRX4, Rustler and used to own 2 slashes, 2 slash 4x4’s and a stampede 4x4. So you might be wrong. I just call it like I see it.
@@RazorRC Chill man. I was just jokeing ;) But you complain a lot about the slash. Btw. Thank you for this video. You helped me to chose the traxxas slash. And I got a vid with it on my channel. Got the 2wd brushed OBA 😅
Why you reading that? ❶ Easy there fan girl.
/one of the most durable is ever made you don't know what you're talkin about that in the rustler you have no clue go back to collecting baseball cards
