I love my slash 4x4. With stock gearing motor temp is a little high on 3s lipo though. Nothing a smaller pinion won't fix though. Its a pretty good handling truck in my opinion. If you want something that corners better, or more for speed runs, there are other 1/10 4wd buggies that might be better suited, assuming you want to stay with 4wd. And not everyone here is lucky enough to own Gorilla Maxx/UE supermaxx trucks, many of us here are mere mortals with more mundane vehicles.
