the slash in my opinion is the best off road vehicle i've ever owned.
I've not broken it once... and i've severely abused it. still on the 12t 550 motor too. i've run full lipos through it, buried it in sand, run it in the rain without the cover, run it through oodles of brick dust. jumped it five metres in the air and landed on the side.
she's still going strong. looks a treat, you get your moneys worth out of it as soon as you chuck the first battery pack through it. only change i made was the deans.
only pain i have is that i want to do a scale body and make a proper bash plate and all, but can't find a proline slash body (which looks cool...).
anybody know where they can be had in oz?

I had one for a few months (private import before they were released here) great fun in Winter, water, the works. BUT
1. The Titan Motor is soft as, dies after 10-12 runs. at $50-$55 a pop locally... ouch.
2. The car is too heavy to run a 540 motor without stressing it.
3. The body rub on the tyres is horrible.
Great fun, but I don't see it taking off until Winter, and then maybe as a rainy day class.

Drove one and loved it, but I'm not going to buy one until I think they are likely to become a class. The J82 thing came in went within four weeks. We have full race schedules already and some clubs may be reluctant to support an additional style of vehicle, that is in many ways incompatible with 10th buggies and trucks.
Shame, though. It was heaps of fun, and is proably quite a low cost class, as long as it remains completely spec. If/When other manufacturers get on board, the spec thing gets hard and with manufacturer competition comes the desire to upgrade to the best car which equals further expense.
I'll take my 20c and call someone who cares now...................

Class Spec's
Traxxas Slash CORR Pro-2 Racer Class Rules
The following rules are offered in an effort to keep the vehicle in this class to an absolute minimum extra investment, and keeping the level of competition as close as possible. For those wanting to use the vehicle as a platform to really push it to the utmost potential, we might offer an Expert Class to test your skills. It is our goal to bring the fun back to R/C Off-Road Racing once again for everyone These Rules are intended to provide a basis to start developing the class for all types of Racers.
Rules for the Ready To Race - Spec. Class
This Class is basically for the Ready-To-Race Version of the Vehicle as shipped by Traxxas. The idea is to limit the amount of hop-ups or modifications to the factory supplied vehicle.
Body: All trucks must use the factory Traxxas Slash body or aftermarket slash body. Race Number must be displayed on Right and Left Side of Truck Body.
Chassis: No modifications may be made to the chassis system. Vehicle must be raced in its stock form. Original Traxxas Replacement parts, as supplied on original truck, only for damaged/worn parts.
Suspension: Both the front & the rear suspension systems must remain in stock form. Original Traxxas parts only. No aftermarket/Hopup replacement components may be installed.
Legal Tuning Parts –
Original Kit Traxxas Progressive White Shock Springs MUST be used (other spring may be used as they become available and are ment for the slash ONLY)

If using a Lipo Battery, a Low Voltage Cutoff Switch MUST be used, since the Traxxas XL-5 speed control does not have a built in Low Volt Cutoff. Also if using a lipo you must only put weight in the battery tray.)
Wheels: Original Traxxas Slash 2.2” wheel or aftermarket slash wheel.
Tires: Original Traxxas 2.2” Slash Tire and Foam or aftermarket slash tire and foam.
