Is it just me, or does the the Slash look like a better deal than a xl5 stampede?(and this is coming from a guy who has three stampedes)

I believe Traxxas hit the nail on the head with this one,they combined a;

rustler+stampede+a old vintage sledge hammer= traxxas slash. I commend traxxas for creating the slash, I will be buying one when it comes out.

it's 10% spirit, 20% bandit, 15% sledgehammer, 5% E-maxx, 50% pede, and 100% reason to go out and buy one
yes, blarant ripoff of the opening lyrics to Fort Minor: Remember the Name. but it fits!

I like how it actually looks scale, wheels under the body.

oh come one. we have had this topic pop up alot.That's what happens when new products get released... people are just excited and making their own posts about it.

If it will be priced around what an XL-5 Stampede sells for it is a good deal indeed, Modding_out!

ive always wondered if the companies like traxxas tell hop up companies ahead of time that they are making it so they can mass produce the right parts as soon as they come out

sure they do..it's part of the profit process...licensing rights to 3rd party vendors

:lol: I can afford that. It is real tempting to get one, but I don't know yet if I am. I don't think I would race it, but if I get one some minor hop ups could be instore. Or I could modify one to make it more onroad sutible. Tires, suspension, motor, it could be a cool truck.

Its not even out yet and I am thinking about how to mod one.:rolleyes:
