i know that bigger is better but tower hobbies is out of the slash vxl in the cheaper
version and lipo shiping is $200?! so what are your thoughts


thanks
kyle

i personally strongly dislike all the traxxas 1/16 vehicles, you need to put so much work and money into them and in return you still get mediocre performance. Just get the 1/10

Personnaly I feel the big brand 1/16s are a little steep for what youre getting. If you dont mind a little less weight and ground clearance and if you have a good place to run it then you will be happy. That scale doesn't work well for me just because of where I run them at home. (A lot of grass and some rough terrain)

stick with 1/10. They are fun as bashers though.

@dwr814 so $650 is ok with a lipo

$200 lipo shipping???

Where do you live?

yea, I ordered a lipo and it was like $3 shipping

@mrwesson i live in australia

Take it from experience (aka old age), go big. My favorite truck is my Traxxas Summit and then, my little 1/10 Slash.

Can't a local hobby shop near you give you a fair price? Maybe get an XL-5 and upgrade?

First I don't have a LHS and second the XL-5 idea might not be a bad one thanks
