I am seeing more classes being set for the Traxxas Slash. However, based on watching it run in a couple of races... I think this truck will shine in a class of it's own. The reason for this is because of it's overall speed and challenging balance when your in that real bouncy stuff. (Not your average high-fly jumps but the sudden jumps that go up, down, so on) But overall... I think the Slash is great.
Feel free to post what you think about the Slash.

Other Notes:
The Slash is fun to watch in any race. Stock or not... this truck is always saying, "HIT ME!"
Yeah, bumper to bumper trading paint. (Good for those aggressive drivers, and bashers)

The Slash may be screaming "HIT ME!", but I believe it also says "go on, I dare you". From what I've read, the stock bumpers are holding up well to abuse (at least the front is). A new form of racing is about to unfold.

I think the slash is a good start for Traxxas to make more scale vehicles.

There shoud be figure 8 races where the trucks can collide in the center

That would be an awesome race Razor_Racer and i think that the slash could take that much of a beating.

Same here. Cool thing is, because of my 'Pede project, if/when I do get the Slash, I'll have RPM parts to put on it :cool: .

That would be cool Razor_Racer. I may suggest that to my local hobby shop if it's ok with you. :)

Just in...
Why are so many people now talking about which Stadium Truck owns the Traxxas Scene?

This will be interesting... while being a bit harsh like the MAXX and REVO debate. Don't you agree?

Hot Wheels made some thing like that it was called the Criss-Cross-Crash, but it was a clover instead of a 8.

I think the Slash is awesome in every way, shape or form.
Even though I don't have one:ninja:.

I think that some other company is going to have step up to the plate and make a similar truck for the Slash to truly shine.
I have to admit that the racing footage I've seen of Slashes is funner to watch than normal racing, which can only bee a good thing.

Well, from the videos, we all know the nitro Firestorm doesn't hold a candle to the Slash :lol: .

The only reason people are talking about which Stadium truck owns the Slash is because they're ignorant. They don't know what the Slash is about. Besides, it's in a completely different class. It's apples to oranges and the Slash is a watermelon.

A stadium truck definitely can't own the Slash in every way maybe it's better than the Slash in some categories but the Slash is better than a Stadium truck in some categories. The Slash is in a class of it's own.

I agree...
Other companies need to join this class. (for example: LOSI)
Otherwise this class won't be as interesting.

to tell you the truth i dont really like the slash that much and i dont see why everyone is so obsessive over it
