Which one is better for 65%bashing/jumping and 35% racing. I have never gone to a track before in my life but I would like to. I want something very durable, speeds capable of 45+mph, long list of hop-ups, parts availabilty, and best value. I already have a traxxas stampede vxl and just built a rustler from scratch so Ithink I'm ready to start building stuff. PLEASEHELP!!!!!!!!!!

65% bashing.. Buy the Slash.

stampedevxl

Why do you say that?And what if the bash level was 50%??

I've been looking into a Sc aswell and from what I have learned the Blitz and slash are the best bashers. Blitz being more of a racer but still pretty new so I feel slash die hards can't really tell you if the slash is better for bashing. Personally feel both would be best for bashing and racing and only you can tell us what one you like best.
For the others, mostly for racing. Built for it and should be good for it. Altho in some tracks I see some pretty huge jumps that in 1:1 you wouldn't see most drivers going for it..lol
Out of the ones you listed, for mostly bashing and you having a pete I would have to go with the Slash..

But i want 4wd trucks

The SCRT10 is likely the most bulletproof of any.

stampedevxl

how's the ground clearence since I'm going to jump with it. I've been hearing the scrt10 has a lot of flaws. I heard its having weak body posts, the wheels and tires are no good, flimsey body too!

HJJFFFAA

I have no comment on that since I only own a CRT .5 (what the SCRT10 is based off of). But my CRT .5 jumps very well.

savagecommander

slash 4x4 hands down.

HJJFFFAA

Why?

stampedevxl

why do you say why, do you not like the 4x4????

robwiljas

I haven't owned the others in your list, but I do have a Slash 4x4 and am on my second Slash 2wd. I can say without a doubt they are the most durable vehicles I've owned in my 18 years in the hobby. If you're into bashing and a little racing like me the Slash 4x4 would be a great choice. As I said though I haven't owned the others so I have no idea how they stack up.

for a race truck the others are best, for bashing, I have had great luck with the slash 4x4, i will try to race the slash 4x4 this year myself....if you want ground clearance maybe cut a body out abit and put on 2.8 tires like i do.....i bash the heck outta my slash and love it so much....with a mamba max pro system in it, i was passing 1/8th losi truggys on the track last weekend, but it might have been the drivers....

jammin or ofna hands down, end of discussion, case closed, end of story.

i could take a ofna and smash any other car with it like a hammer and the ofna will sustain no damage, I crashed my ofna buggy two days ago at full speed sideways into a curb, no damage at all, had that been any traxxas product it would have been all over, and im not even kidding.

i would go for the jammin, jammin is just a modified ofna (which is Hong-nor) it is race oriented and tough, and will not let you down, you have my word.

you bash the slash 4x4 yet?

Foxy

Where have you heard they have problems??!?

Fantastic car the SCRT10, twice the car that the Slash is. lol at people recommending the slash for anything over the 2 ofna offerings which are both better.

The main issue with teh SCRT10 is indeed the tires, but the problem is very simple, they are a slightly non standard size (fractionally smaller than standard). Change them and you're golden. The body isn't flimsy, but it isn't great either, but you don't judge a car on its body or wheels, both things which you will change in the first month most likely.

My Jammin on 3s for bashing is epic...really, epic. It would also turn its hand to racing in an instant. They are very tough, as are all Jammin products.

And a bragging rights shot...



When people at the bash spot start saying nitro is faster, show them that last pic.

The_Shark

man I want one of those

but it would be- outrunner! as with all electrics i build

sorry traxxas lovers, your comparing a corvette to a caviler, no comparison, OFNA on top, before you call me a lire get one for yourself, you won't go back.

Had a slash 4X4, wasn't impressed with it. I found it handled worst than my savage, and rolled over easier [:@]
Spent $40 more and made it a pede 4X4 which I was way happier with.

As for the ofnas yes they are tough they can break but they will take more abuse than the stock traxxas. Only thing traxxas has over the ofna is the insane support by RPM which I find is usually needed.

Own 2 of the CRT.5s (One is set up as a 1/8th scale buggy using SCRT10 parts), and honestly I only managed to break my 2 year old one a few months back when it was 15 degrees out after an extremely bad hit but I only did like $10 in damage


As for bodies as foxy said treat those as disposables (which they are)

Phoenix XB Racer

It depends what Cavalier you are talking about.

The_Shark

exactly, a traxxas car is just a big turd that goes fast, it sure does splat like one if it hits anything.

kahnen

I think after 2 yrs, the guy has made up his mind.

Foxy

Well spotted sir.
