Can't decide: Trx Slash 4x4, Losi Ten, or Duratrax DX450 - 01.29.2010, 11:54 AM

I am looking to get rid of my 2WD Slash, so I "need" a replacement. I figured the 4x4 Slash would be lighter/better than my heavier MBX5 "Slash" for longer runtime. So, I went to the LHS yesterday with the intention of picking up the 4x4 Slash. Price: $379

However, as I was looking around, I also saw the Losi Ten. I thought that was a much better buy despite the $100 extra since it comes with a motor (which I would sell immediately), and a DX3s (which I would also sell). By the time I sell those parts, the truck will be pretty cheap. And I already have a spare MMPro, Medusa 36-80-2000, 4s lipo ready to slap in there. Then again, I already have an 8th and 12th scale truggy. Price: $500.

Then, I see the DX450 dirtbike sitting on the shelf! I like having one of every type of vehicle in my stable, and this would definitely be a different addition. The first thing to be done to this would be to replace the spring-only front suspension with an oil-filled setup, and replace the stock ESC with a MMPro so I can run 3s. Price: $350. Add ~$50 for the shock upgrade.

So now I don't know what to do!
