no it won't. the slash is a rustler style suspention, and the sc10 is a t4 style. even with this chassis th sc10 will still drive circles around it

I don't know why so many people are coming out and saying this thing costs SO MUCH. and isn't worth it. It will be worth it to those who buy it, and to those users who realize what a bargain they are actually getting. Albeit, this is not a CF chassis, but IMHO, this was a great job done by TTR.
I still don't understand how people on RCTECH come to every thread and just bash the crap out of any small company trying to make it in this market and hobby. TTR should be commended for doing what they do with the resources they have...
Most true racers are going to realize the job they have done with creating this chassis. over 90% of all rc enthusiasts are not even racers, but just bashers.
I would like to think that the guys out there who race their Slash's would actually love to have an optional chassis.
that said,
try making one of these by hand for less than $85.

I agree that this is worth the money for the time it would take to make one yourself instead.
Even if you were just flipping burgers at McDonalds, you could probably pay for the chassis faster than you could make one yourself, considering that you still have to buy the material. Just one pice of the G10 big enough to make the bottom plate would cost $15 (www.mcmaster.com) and you still need the top plate and delrin blocks.

There's more to winning a race then the truck your driving...

where most obviously they are only competitors in the Niche, and not the track.

Rustler suspension or not I think a slash with this chassis could stay competitive once sc10's are added to the feild.I just hope others dont make the same mistake that is being made here.Our state series has added a corr class and they plan on allowing sc10's to run in the corr spec class and have deemed the only 2 motors that can be run are the titan ,and any 27t brushed stock motor,any brushed esc,any servo, but the chassis have to stay stock.
so basically they have made it a corr stock class , but left out the 17.5 option.

i would love to see some of these guys just put some AE shocks on their slashes, and get them setup well and see what happens. so much of the slashes characteristics from from the super soft suspension that make like the real truck. sure, on a nice smooth track a harder setup might be better, and im sure you have all seen this.
one of the bigest factors i see is the weight differences. with stock 27 motors, its all going to be about weight reduction and just not ever crashing. spec guys might see these things more competitive now that TTR has come up with this chassis.
like i always say.
i say tomato and you tomato. (doesnt work when typed, but you should get it)

i don't doubt that most "racers" will be running the associated. AE just breathes racing, where Traxxas breaths something else. like Rock solid, not so much a race bread machine.
TTR is getting it close though!

It's the same claim that I have seen on another board about the ThunderTech truck vs. the Slash. They were making that claim way before the ThunderTech truck came out. It's rediculous

I love my ThunderTech Pro-2WD truck

you may love it, but that one is completely different than the slash or sc10 or outlaw kit. just a different animal all together.
great truck nonetheless.
