I stopped by the LHS today and got a look at both the Slash and Revo. At first, I thought they were pretty cool, but after a while, I was less enthusiastic. With a little work, the CRT.5 is pretty darn close size-wise and has beefier driveline. The Revo/Slash shocks looked very chintzy, almost like a Wal-Mart toy. And the VXL, well, it's a VXL. I guess $290 for a true RTR BL system system isn't bad, but I didn't go for it.

Maybe once the eBay chop shops start selling rollers with no electrics, I might get one.
