He is asking about a truck for his son, not an adult experienced driver- HUGE difference. Thats why I asked his son age. If older and ready to race that makes a difference.

You willing to let my 6 year old drive your truck and see if he can break it?

My son and his 3 friends will hit each other at full speed head on, bet you can't find 2 Desert truck owners willing to do that.
My kids did the head on thing with a couple XXX-NT RTR's......front arms went everywhere.....

Really it comes down to what you plan to use it for. The DT is a nice way to get into stadium trucks, and the Slash is a nice way to get into the Slash class.

And if your son is new to driving this should answer your question as to what will hold up the best.

Both are fun, let us know what santa puts under the tree for him

Just saw this thread, and I'm not sure if anyone is looking at it any more, but my son is 3 and I have him a 1/10 scale losi desert truck. The think handles great and he hasn't broken anything... yet?

We took it to a track and and one point he ran into the pvc guard rail full speed and sent the thing rolling. I heard several comments about how tough the truck was to not break a single thing with that crash.

On a final note... my son is 3 and it is so good at handling, he really doesn't crash it too much, other than occasionally running into the launch ramps that we use to jump in the yard. I would give it a 9 out of 10 considering the price. The only reason I don't give it a 10 because there is no such thing as a 10 because there is no such thing as perfect.
