I am tossed up between the vendetta rally and the slash... I don't have a lot of offroad driving spots near my house, but I like the looks of the slash a lot.. seems like a nice car for on or off road.. but probably more fun off road..

The UPS guy came way late last night, so we didn't get a chance to try out our new mini Slash's until today. I really wasn't into cars because of all the Heli related things I do, but now I'm stoked about cars too. The stock battery seemed to last about 20 minutes with great power. I'm still going to have to make some Lipo saddlepacks though.I also noticed that thestock bumper is alot stronger than it looks :]

I bet it would be crazy with some drift tires.

Personally, I'd love to see someone put the proline helios body on one (the warthog buggy from Halo). I think it would fit great.

Those JACO foams look sick. Word is they handle amazing with these tires on the truck, onroad of course. Please give some feedback with your experience.
