Least expensive route?
I currently have a Slash and love it for spec racing and will keep it for such. I am looking at getting a second vehicle for mod racing and wondering which will be the most economical to get to perform at mod level. Brushless and ESC will be the same for any of the vehicles I assume. What other mods need to be made and at what cost? Will it be the SC10, Blitz, Strike or Slash? I am thinking I can spend a ton on the Slash based on some guys at our track and still not have the handling some of the others trucks have. From what I have seen at our track the SC10 or Blitz looks like the best option for mod. What does everyone think? Have the Blitz and Strike been out long enough for a fair comparison? Thanks.

If you have a standard mod truck class at your track a T4 would be great. Its cheaper than SC class trucks and can handle better than any of them. I dont know much about many of the SC class trucks so I am not much help if you plan to stay that route.

Get a blitz and a sidewinder brushless setup. Cheap route.

Assuming your mod class allows suspension mods like caster blocks and FT inline axels.......
SC10 with CC sidewinder 4600.

I have learned that economical and Mod usually don't go together. 
Pick whatever class you like the best, and make sure they have a good turnout for it. If it's a SCT you want, then Blitz or AE kit perhaps. Slash and Strike have a higher center of gravity and won't handle as well out of the box.
And it all depends on what equipment you already have as well. Lipos, Lipo chargers, radio systems, Brushless ESC and a motor or 2....different tire sets for changing track conditions.etc.
JMO....
Or wait a month or so and see how the new Slash 4X4 takes off. They might make a new class for that and it's pretty much ready to go out of the box. Brushless ESC\Motor, 2.4Ghz radio, etc.....j

+1 on the slash 4x4, its ready to go, and it comes with a 2.4 radio too.
