hello.
i'm wondering wich would be better for me if i'm a rookie and this would be my first rc truck. i heard a lot about this two but i can't decide because the BLITZ has 2WD and SLASH 4WD. isn't better the 4wd on mud/ snow?

I would go with the Slash 4x4

But not all of them. It has a 2wd and a 4wd version.

2wd is not fun if your just bashing around, go with the slash 4wd as others have said.

Very, very few places carry HPI Blitz parts, equally few places don't carry Slash ones. Whether you decide on a 2 or 4wd model, the Slash is the way to go.

ok, thank you.

but what about the little motor wich is in it ? it's brushed or brushless ? because i heard that the brushless motors are better. it is right ? should i buy a brushless one ?

clontzy21

well, i'm from Roumania and i found a place where i can find parts for Slash, even if are just a few rc shops
alright, i'll buy the Slash, but i'm confused with the brushed/ brushless motors ... some advide ?

The brushless version will be faster out of the box and won't slow down as the motors' brushes wear out - if the price difference isn't an issue, you can't go wrong with brushless.

simply put brushless is a far superior motor.faster,stronger more efficent IMO

clontzy21

thanks for info.

if the price difference is an issue, i'll buy the brused. but after can i change to a brushless one ?

If you're looking to buy a Traxxas 4x4 I don't think they sell a brushed version..but if you went 2wd drive yes you could upgrade to brushless later..

Fyi
You can stil have alot of fun bashing with a 2wd..

i don't know yet if they have 4x4 brushed but i will ask the website from where i want to make the order. because i found one around 325$ and i want to buy it.

ok, i understood, brushless is better. but how big is the diffence ? i read about brushed motors can reach 50kmh (around 30mph), what can reach the brushless ones ?

clontzy21

or could anyone tell me if the 4wd have all brushless motors, please ?

Traxxas Slash 4x4 only comes with a brushless motor..and I think with proper gearing in a slash you can get 40 to 50 mph using a lipo maybe faster been awhile since I messed with a slash..
