Hard Core Summit Owner thinks about slash 4x4

[porlkertus]

Hi All,

I wanted to get opinions on the new slash 4x4 from fellow summit owners.

I love my summit and am not getting rid of it but have lust for somthing new, so ive spotted the 4x4 slash and reckon it might be right.

Im a basher and my local bashing area is not that flat but you can run smaller cars quite easily, you need about twice the ground clearance of a typical 1/10th scale buggy.

There are opportunities for speed but also many for getting stuck. Also there's lots of bad weather and hence wet sand/mud.

Does the slash get stuck a lot, offroad?
Do you need a flat (ish) dirt track?
Will it cope with the odd hill climb (dash rather than crawl obviously)?

Thanks for reading, any opinions welcome,
Paul.

Hi,erm ,have a look on the slash 4x4 section,lol

Will do

lol @ myself why did i post here?

if you like speed and then it is a bargain price for the speed, for track it may be just to fast. Also a center diff will be a must to keep the power under control. My boy has one as well as a summit and i think is is a nice truck.

I was thinking about getting a 4x4 Slash, but now I'm leaning toward putting a Tekin RX8 brushless system in my Summit and swap to some more track-appropriate tires.

Brushless will definitely add some speed and excitement. Put on some 6"-ish sized tires and a front swaybar and it'll become a completely different beast, but still a beast. I do this and add 3S when I want to do speed runs and get big air.

if you want a race truck for the track then why turn ur summit ito that truck and not just get a slash??

I think the Summit has better handling than the Slash.

Thanks for the replies chaps. I'm still trying to work out what to do. =)
