hey I made it

[E-Revonut]

Well if your gonna be doing parking lot runs I'm guessing your going to want to go fast. The slash in my opinion isn't going to be a good vehicle for any speeds over 35MPH. The body is a big kite, it catches a lot of air and therefor isn't a good choice for speed. Something such as a 1/8 scale buggy would be a better choice and if you where planning on running up to 4s in a slash I can only imagine you planned on replacing the electronics anyways so therefor a buggy wouldn't necessarily be much more to build. A CRT.5 handles speed pretty well too. For that matter if all you want is straight up speed a 1/10 scale 2wd stadium truck would be pretty good. A Rustler VXL is a rocket straight out of the box and handles the speed pretty well, just don't hit any curbs at 40+MPH cause it gets very expensive! Better than the Rustler at least in my opinion will be the new RC10T4.1 from Associated. They are due out any day and the price is far less than the rustler. Monster trucks also make pretty decent parking lot bashers. I like the more traditional MT design of something like a E-Maxx, MGT, or even the savage flux but the E-revo can't be overlooked when it comes to speed as they are more aerodynamic. However the MT class truck will cost significantly more money. The money you are willing to spend will dictate how fast you can go, a 2wd stadium truck will get you more speed for you money but be less versatile. A 4wd corr style truck will not handle high speeds as well but may be more versatile as it can climb over larger obstacles and has the added traction of 4wd. A MT will cost a lot more to go fast but can handle big jumps and rough terrain better when you get bored with flat parkinglots. A 4wd 1/8 scale buggy can be built for less than a MT but a little more than a 4wd corr truck and can handle some rougher terrain, more aerodynamic for speed, and a good class to get into racing with.

I gues soy need to give us a little more info. Will you ever venture from a parking lot? what kind of speed are you expecting? How much money do you want to spend? What do you have to start with, radio system, charger, battery, tools?

Hey all thanks again for replying . The answers
to some of the questions . The only equipment
I have is a charger ( yes it will do lipo ) . The
reason I'm leaning to Slash4x4 , it's rtr , also no
AM radio . I was concerned about cost of converting ,
running and maintaining a MT or buggy . Also ,
can a buggy/truggy be converted to non center
diff ? Or is it filled with very thick fluid to keep
front tires from ballooning . I know noob questions .
would this be perfect or what

indestructable drivetrain
active diffs ( think WRX STI )
tough as a Cat dozer
accelerates like a funnycar
hadles like 1/12 carpet pancar

Other bodys are readily availible for the 4x4 Slash that are not as prone to lift off at speeds.
