But if the buyers purpose is mostly bashing with occasional racing, it's a great truck. But if he's planning on racing a lot, definitely better choices out there. Like the Losi 4x4 sc truck or the OFNA Hyper 10

REAL short course trucks are hundreds of thousands of dollars. He's just trying to have a little fun with an RC shortcourse truck

slash 4x4 is good for bashing eh? yeah i guess after you finish upgrading all the shoddy peices to aluminum, toss a new motor mount in it that doesnt destroy itself, and some electronics that wont poof on the 3rd battery...there decent trucks.

Kingheadz motor mount would be first mod, and go from there. For a fun truck the Slash 4X4 is great. if you plan to race a lot, then maybe stepping up to something else might be better. If there is a class of Slash 4X4's at your track go for it. I have had mine for about 8 months and have had a lot of fun with it. The only mods so far was to put TiN shock shafts in my shocks. Other than that it is bone stock. I just got my kingheadz motor mount and it is going in this weekend.

oh really? i see it all the time at the local track, not to mention some of the people i bash with, always have broken slash 4x4s...
myself i got sick of replacing parts, and constant upkeep, and crappy electronics..its not like what i said is a myth, or doesnt happen. you just must be a traxxas fanboy.

Its not like I am a Traxxas nut either as the 4wd Slash all I would own from them...but its just my view as you seem to know it all already.

I have owned the Slash,Hyper and Jammin and guess what they have all broke at least once. My Slash has been the most durable and thats because I race it and I dont beat it to death like alot of the 4wd sct drivers I see. Please bash the hell out of a hyper or sc10 and see how that goes for ya

i beat the piss out of my hyper10sc, and my jammin scrt..and honestly, aside from an arm or two...nothings broken.
My SC10 is a different story, but i use that truck to race with...it was never intended, nor designed to be a basher truck..
the slash4x4 is weak, terrible design, the electronics are poor{if they even work!}, and the upkeep is just to damn much! not to mention the terrible handling, and lack of tuneability!
there are far better choices out there, for much less money!
