slashes are very very durable,waterproof . I've done some jumps that are way to big for it and it stays together after smashing and rolling about 15 times off a single jump, parts support is basically everywhere

buggies are harder to drive, faster and lighter it takes more skill to drive them or least that's what i have heard. That's what my next purchase is a b4,losi xxx cr,or mrc gv2 parts could be difficult to find a certain brand some shops like to carry a team associated parts and cars while others like to carry losi

get a slash if you just starting out
