RE: 1/16 Traxxas Slash vs 1/18 Duratrax Vendetta Sc vs 1/18 Associated Sc18 vs 1/16 Losi Mini SCT
Voted for the Slash. I've owned the Vendetta and the Slash. I have not had the SC18 or Losi Mini SCT but I have seen a few of them run.
My decision was based on strength. The Slash is just a tough little truck. I've run a hundred or so packs through it and it's still as good today as when i bought it. The Detta on the other hand was in bad shape after 3 packs. The front diff was making a ton of noise and a ton of parts where showing premature wear. I felt it should have lasted longer.
