Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Ill be using is for bashing, which one should I get? Which one is fastest on 2's? Which one is most fun?:D

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

You should get the Savage XS.......

There isn't a 4wd Slash out there that can take this tyoe of beating and keep coming back for more..

Flux XS hands down. Buy it and don;t look back. you will not regret it

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

I'd take a pede 4X4 over a slash 4X4 for bashing as it has better clearance due to taller tires, and a body that doesn't make it rock like a 1977 cutlass going down the express way at 70 mph in 40mph winds(I've seen it, and its what the slash 4X4's driving reminded me of)... I had a slash 4X4, and didn't like it so I converted it to a pede 4X4 and liked it way more.

Can't say anything about a savage XS as I've not owned one

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

I'd get the Savage XS kit version. I'm building it right now, and it's a lot of fun.

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

I haven't had a xs or played wit one but I can tell u this . The slash/ped 4x4 platform can take a beating with rpm arms... Jus look on you tube at the beatings people put on there slashes ....

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Hmm, well i have heard a lot of good things about both trucks, but the Slash isn't really a basher IMO, and a lot of other people say that too! So i would get the XS cause that looks like a fun little thing LOL :D

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

I'd go with the Savage XS due to the fact it's cheaper and it can take a beating judging from what I have read about it. For bashing purposes I would get the Stampede over the Slash if my heart was set on that platform.

Lost of comments but only 1 vote?

Poor voter turnout, but lots of opinions.

Reminds me of something else... :)

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Yea for some reason I cannot vote. It doesn't have the option lol

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Weird, I was able to yesterday. That's my lone vote there for the Savage. :)

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

ditto

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

I tried to fix the poll but I can't. I'll raise it with tech support...

I'd probably go Savage XS too, but the kit version, with good quality stuff in it. :)

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Maybe the OP set up the poll to have a deadline?

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

First thing I checked.

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Therefore, I win with the only vote. :)

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?

I was wondering why nobody was voting :D, if I were to get the savage XS kit, what brushless system should I put in it? I want the total cost of the XS kit and the brushless system to be about the same cost as RTR, AND I want the brushless system to perform as well or faster/better (in a perfect world).

Thanks!

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

The BL setup in the XS is notorious for pretending its a nitro and letting out smoke ;)
seeing its an $80 difference you aren't going to make the xs ss kit for the same cost as the RTR seeing the radio even the cheapest 2.4ghz on the market costs $20, and a $60 BL setup won't work. the BL setup will probably cost $100 (HW EZ-run 60A) at least and potentially a servo ($20) as I'm not sure if the kit has one it doesn't mentioned ones needed but also doesn't state its included, plus batteries.

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Not possible. I would probably put the Castle 1410 4-pole system in it, but that'll run you $239 alone with the MMP speed control. It'll be a beast and well worth it, but if you ain't got that much budget, just get the RTR.

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

From my experience I've always like the HobbyWing Steupswww.hobbypartz.com/07e-combo-js1.html

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

what about with a $30 discount from towerhobbies and the fact I already have a radio?

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

Yep you'll be about the same i believe. If you go with that HobbyWing System

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

I wouldn't do that one personally its 45amps sensored for on-road use
I would think the 60A ez-run could move it. seeing the stock on the RTR is supposedly like 50amps

The SC10 might work which is a little more expensive, and 70Amps. But from what I read theres a lot of ppl likeing the SC8 esc on it.

RE: Savage XS or Slash 4x4?
 

O your right Venom! I just seen the combo i didn't look at amp ratings LOL. But yeah your right the 60A would be the best
