My buddies and I all have bone stock 2wd Slashes that we bash with and they are the most fun I've had with rc's in years. They never break and even if they do the parts are dirt cheap, I just picked up 3 or 4 rollers and spares on rctech for like $80 a pop and now we each have a truck and lots of spares not that anything really ever breaks. So far I broke a nerf bar and my brother broke a rear hub (which I think was a fluke, maybe a weak part from factory). I was jumping mine off of a loading dock ramp the other day that had about an 8 foot ramp on it, we'd hit the ramp and fly about 15' and slam into the ground and didn't break a thing on either truck. My vote is 2wd slash, cheap, easy to work on, light and fun as hell
