If you want to play it that way then here it goes.
DT cause it has working LCD lights
low maintence diff
front and rear roll cage
body looks WAYYYY cooler then the slash
tires look better
overall better look and Losi made a new ESC/motor combo for it when the Slash has the old titan/xl-5 combo that nobody wants anymore.

you also fotgot to say that you can cover your reciever with gasket sealer/ silicone to make it waterproof so the slash loses in all categories.

Status: offline 		neither one of them are nitro, so im not sure why they are posted here. either way though, they are both way different from each other. the slash looks more like a real vehicle you might see racing acrossed baja.

Status: offline 		Unfortunetly the slash is limited cause the tires are in the fenders, thats why I would not buy it as of right now. You cant put larger tires on the slash or they will not fit under the body. I would not have that limitation on the DT, you could put larger tires on it or wider. The nice thing about the slash is the racing without having wheel hangups. But until alot of people start getting them and they start making a special race class for them at tracks, I would feel limited where I could race it due to the lack of tire and clearance it would have. 3 and a half inches of ground clearance in the middle helps, but remember the tires are only like about 4.2 or so in inches diameter. That means where the control arms extend accross in the back and front its going to be real low to the ground.

Actually, come to think of it my dad raced in the Baja 1000. He raced class 9. And when I look at CORR trucks it doesn't even look close to the Slash. The DT sorta looks like a trophy truck.
