Lmao. I like the Slash 4x4 platform, it has great potential and lots of options. I like that my Rally could be a Slash 4x4 or (a smaller) Monster truck with basically new tires and body. It does fall short in some areas and after seeing a friend bend the rear stub axles constantly I stayed away. Then I got a smoking deal on my Rally making it worth upgrading the axles and driveshafts. Did they ever fix that issue? But this thing, while it looks kinda neat and scale it is a joke. New body, thicker diff fluid and make it as cheap as possible must've been their goal. Plastic nonadjustable camber links like XL5 spec vehicles? Shouldn't they have used the Stampede's shock guards on a "Trail Truck" that'll encounter rocks? Come on now Traxxas. And nobody cares that the tires are "liscenced by Kumho, BFGoodrich" or whatever. Stop making us pay for stupid liscencing like that, if anything pay for liscencing bodies. Hmm pay an extra $10 for "replica tires" or pay an extra $10 for an FJ body. Which do you think is cooler?

Seriously?? If you're going to make a trail rig, then do it right or don't do it at all, Traxxas.

The first thing I would do is dump the titan and stick a 3500 Velineon system in, with a small pinion for slower speeds. If Traxxas would have been smart they could dump all those left over Rustler Vxl motors that way. I probably wouldn't last long working for them lol.
