I got my slash a year ago. That was my first 2wd rc. My son in-law and grandsons started slash racing on their oval track. When you race equal cars and it comes down to driving skills it makes it a blast. The grandsons are 9, 7, 5 yrs old and they can all smoke this old grandpa! We have bashers, crawlers and a couple of small buggies but this oval racing is the most fun yet. Good review
The brushed Traxxas Titan motor is no joke. I bought one to put in my Ecx Ruckus Monster truck, night and day difference in between that motor and the stock dynamite motor it came with. Great video. 😊
I started with a 2WD brushed Slash- went brushless- learned to fix it-then got more trucks, and more. and more- LOVE this hobby!!! I have a REALLY fast Rustler now- my FAVORITE is my Bandit- it's tricky to drive - but FUN!!
I have just converted it to brushless and its a lot of fun!
My 2wd Slash has gradually been modified into a 65 mph BEAST. LCG chassis, big bore shocks, Castle Creations brushless setup, and ProLine tires. Dirt Drifting is just a blast with this truck.
100%
I love my 2WD Slash, I put a set of Proline wheels with Trencher tyres on when I first got mine, the standard Traxxas wheels/tyres were a bit crap, the Proline wheels enhance the handling, I also fit RPM front & rear bumpers with mudflaps,the standard ones are very weak but thats the beauty of Traxxas, you mod it out to whatever you want
I have a Slash VXL 2WD and it’s nuts! The Stability Management (TSM) helps Rookies like me wonderfully and allows we amateurs plenty of fun with wheels the right way up.
I know Traxxas has had some terrible press lately with their appalling treatment of resellers etc and they deserve a kick in the pants for it, but they do produce a lot of fantastic models that lot of us love.
Another brilliant video and non biased, thank you.
Thanks David :)
Big up RochesterRC, got my Kraton 4s from them. Pedro helped me out and sorted my charger leads I needed and they are always happy to help. Lucky for me they are only 10 minutes from my house :)
Really helpful guys and love that they offer free shipping on everything even a £1 spare part! Helps keep costs down in an already super expensive hobby!
Can't go wrong with a traxxas, thanks for your upload 👍🙏🐱
CHeers mate
I just love my 2wd slash, the suspension is perfect out of the box and the durability is insane.
100%
That’s crazy cause I broke it after owning it for it 30min 😐😂
I'm thinking of getting this for My 10 year old Nephew. His Brother has an ECX AMP DB that He loves driving. This looks pretty solid. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
I just posted a quick video of my 2wd slash build, the slash is just an awesome platform!
sure is!
Did the same. Proline grip really good. Might need a wheelie bar.
I have a upgraded 2wd slash. It takes an absolute beating like its unreal how durable it is
One CAN NEVER go wrong purchasing a traxxas slash 2wd, takes more skill running a two wheel drive 😎
Yes it does! Not as forgiving as some of the 4x4 out there :)
hey its not just for beginners there is a world of Spec Slash racing. got to run it with only a couple of part improvements for durability..
of course its not but its a great option for beginners :) Didn't say it was only for beginners in the vid ;)
Do you know the FTX Apache? 240 pounds in the U.K., brusless, comes with a 3s LIPO, decent electronics... And it's very well made. A greater value per pound IMO.
Traxxas bussines model revolves around spare parts and that's all about it. That says a lot about their RC models.
That's true that Traxxas business model is based on selling spares. But that tells you that Traxxas cares for both hobby shops and customers. I have 2 friends who work in hobby store, and they told me that on new cars they have only 20% markup, but 50% on parts. I like shopping for used rcs, for example couple months ago I bought slash 2wd with no body and bad servo for only 30$.
I have probably over 10 Traxxas cars built in the 90s and most of the parts are.still available. Some other brands introduce a new model, build I hype to sell as many as possible and discontinue after couple of years with parts sometimes impossible to find.
Add a hobbywing 1080 and run it 3s, lots of fun 👍
This really is a bad ass truck. I have the traxxas RAPTOR SLASH
i just inherited my dads falling in love lcg ice racer
Liked the video, because I appreciate your reviews. Not the biggest fan of traxas right now, as their prices are astronomical, and they are a bit too corporate for my tastes. I also am really only interested in like 3 of their models, and 2 of those are a 'this one or that one' kind of deal...
I do like 2WD vehicles, but, for the price of one of these, I will buy 2 of something else, or, fully upgrade 1 of a different company!!
Keep up the great work, and I will keep watchin!
Thanks man!
Actually I think Arrma is just as expensive as Traxxas. In my opinion, if you want cheaper priced vehicles, you might want to stay with brushed versions, they’re always cheaper.
They my local place and I have few rc buggys now they are good people 😊
Stampede is the og
loved my VXL may have to get another!
The price is really good for what you get
100%
I'm looking for a short course truck at the moment.
Still between a slash or a 4x2 senton, wich seems more appealing because of the posibility to upgrade it to 4wd. Also cheaper and more options with batteries.
I will be comparing the two very soon. I have a 4x2 senton converted into 4x4 brushless and it is a lot of fun! But there is something special about a proper 2wd chassis like this :)
i would consider looking at the Team Associated SC10, they do it in 2WD and 4WD versions. A very capable short course truck with a race pedigree but also quite bashable
@@dub_rider thanks, I'll give it a look.
I had my senton mega over 15 months now and it was converted to brushless its very reliable.. Apart from steering servo will need replacing for better one as I had to replace my couple times now
This was my 1st rc car, wasn't that impressed and upgraded quickly, a few years later I went back to it , now I've spent a lot on upgrades and it's probably my favourite car,
15 years later this guy figures it out.
Is the battery and charger included in the box
I love my Slash 2wd😅
I Would say that the wl toys 14001 is a better option if u want cheap car ! Costs under 100$ at hobbex and is rlly fast
also really crap compared to a premium brand RC car..
Hi, wish one is more convenient slash or rustler ?
rustler will handle better for sure
Id go good in a Traxxas $ 150 USD. bag . Id go better in a Black US made heavy duty bag for around $60 USD found in any Military Surplus Store. Double sewn like any Army textile & the savings will be put away to start funds on a VXL system. Same truck we love, now with 50+ mph Fun.
i prefer the a 2wd rustler thats overpowered on 3s or more, with no wheelie bar 😂
I would say the stampede 2wd is the 2wd king. Its been around alot longer than the slash. The slash 2wd is just the cheap way to get into indoor racing.
I like the Slash, but the Company are just bullies... I'll stick to my Maverick Strada SC for my short course needs!
Batteriys is go time?
Huh?
@@beyondRC Battery go 20 minutes?
Rather have a arrma vortex boost
That's not really designed to be a 2WD. It's just a temporary setup until you have bought the boost parts. The layout is a 4WD one. Besides, you should have compared it to the Senton boost, not the Vortex. Different kind of cars.
Of course that is an option in this price range and offers the opportunity to upgrade to 4x4. This was designed to be 2wd and is a lot of fun. Its a matter of personal choice I have both the senton 4x2 and now this and they are both good in their own right. I think the slash might just be more fun!
You wanna race ???
Yes! 👍😀
What we racing haha! Short Course trucks? Yes mate well up for it. We will have to get something planned.
We have been working on a short course truck format which is more fun than typical racing with laptiming etc …. One of our Popalong grassroots tracks
@@PopalongRC awesome stuff sounds good to me. Just sent you an email :)
As long as it's not too far , I'll pitch up with my Maverick Strada SC brushed.... Unless I throw a brushless in there first !!
Traxxas has lost my support. Not because of the quality of their products but because of their bullying of aftermarket companies. RC is a niche hobby and in my opinion, the aftermarket hop up companies are just as important as the kit manufacturers. Traxxas lawyers are trying to shut down aftermarket sites. For that reason I’ll never buy a new traxxas product. I currently own a bandit, a slash, and 3 stampedes.
No problem living in a traxxas world for me
Yea that should not be supported the aftermarket parts for rcs are already bad enough
So what do you recommend
Sounds like a you problem
But in all reality i feel you
Traxxas is the "walmart of rc" in some countries🤣
What is better for the same price?
What a let down this truck was. If You like trucks that tip over effortlessly? Buy this. It wasn't all that quick being brushless with 2s LiPo batteries.
get the low CG conversion kit i covered it on my channel. Eliminates the constant flipping over.
@@beyondRC Thanks I'm going to swap it for a Banfit vxl.
i have the st rally with a 3300kv brushless. the car is toms of fun
The Slash 2wd is a cash pump!!! All your money go there, in broken parts to replace. I don't have problem when i run 2s batteries, but when i want to get the best of the vxl-3s and run my Gens Ace 3s, it always ends up with broken this, broken that! (Don't try to fit a DumboRC receiver, its not compatible with Traxxas ESC!)
idk why the dumbo rx wont work with a traxxas esc.
@@lcpeterbilt379 I don't know WHY either, but it's like that. Not working with the vxl-3s esc. Can't get the brake/reverse to work, and i'm not the only one complaining about that.
I don't what parts you use but forget aluminium anything, it will just bend and break on impact. Plastic is much better and more crash resistant, also, RPM is your friend, they make parts that are much sturdier than Traxxas.
