How does a converted LST2 work as a basher?

I don't own the slash 4x4 but have several friends that do and I have driven them. I would have never thought of beating the revo the way you can a slash and quite frankly theirs have held up just as good as my LST2.

The thing about it is that it's much lighter than the LST2, less than half the weight. You can use less expensive brushless systems and batteries for it, and the parts are generally cheaper. For must purposes in my experience in RC, lighter is better.

I don't know for sure but I would bet that with a jato shaft upgrade you could run standard MT wheels and tires (I wouldn't try 40 series though as they even have a tough time on the bigger trucks without the right power system).

It's also much easier to get parts support locally for a slash since the truck is so popular. In my experience everything for the LST2 had to be ordered online.

I am with junkman, if I had a loaner vehicle it would be the 4x4.
