Hi RCTech,
I am obviously a newbie, so I need your guys opinion. I'm looking to buy my first RC car. I'm not going to race, but just drive it around. My budget is around $200. I am looking for a short course race truck. I was looking at the Traxxas Slash 2WD and the Team Associated SC10. I also want a RTR.
Are these trucks good? If not, can you recommend me some good trucks, and parts to go with it?
Thank You,
Falken

are you stuck on a truck?
a rustler would be in your price range. & it will be a bit easier on bodies if you start bashing.
also check your craigslist. deals come up here (in ohio) all the time.

Might help your decision making easier, which brand does your local hobby store keep more replacement parts for? Although that does not always mean it will be in stock when you need to replace something... but something to keep in mind.
+1 on Rusty if your not stuck on truck

From experience having a Slash & Associated SC trucks, Slash is a good bang for your buck definitely& about the only Traxxas vehicle I would recommend! Also don't rule out the HPI Blitz, it may be just a little over your price cap but is well worth it! I think the SC10RS is the better of the 2, w/the Reedy 3300kv motor & lipo ready ESC is great! The SC10 is not only better on the track than the Slash but is also a good basher in its own right, very durable so if you wanna have some backyard fun & then get serious & track it you know it will take whatever you throw at it. With the Slash I had to put some extra suspension parts (sway bar kit, bigger shocks) & tires to handle better, and still it wasn't all that great. Good luck w/your choice bro & take your time choosing, you wanna be truly happy w/whatever you choose.
