I would just get new tires. That way you still have a sc truck as well as a monster truck.
same would be true of the pede with slash chassis...it could run SC tires.
But ive had a slash 4x4 and dont really want a 4wd sc. I have a sc10 for sc fun.
What I want it a single battery...brushless monster truck that can be bashed hard. And other than the obvious plastic driveshafts, the slash/pede platform is pretty tough.
I just dont want the pede in stock form as the short wheelbase limits handling
and leaves 2 tires up in the air half the time....thus canceling out the benifit of 4wd.
as far as the bumpers...I could care less whether it is the slash or pede setup. I just want slash wheelbase...with pede type tires.
I will admit that going the slash route would allow me to chose the tires. The pede tires are OK, but I would prefer large tires that are a bit softer and more compliant.
I guess going with the slash would allow me to sell tires/body.....which could almost pay for the tires I would want and a new MT style body. Where as with the pede the stock parts would pay for the new parts....but a body would come out of pocket.
But again, the pede is a bit cheaper. And I do like the linear springs and those shock protectors.
Ill keep dwelling on it. Once my thunder tiger phoenix XB sells I will have to make up my mind and pull the trigger on one or the other!
Syco...if you can find that slash chassis and verify the possible width issue. I would hate to buy a pede and get the slash chassis...only to find that the pede's front tires hit the chassis. I did not realize that the pede chassis is narrower. I dont know if traxxas did this just for the body to fit...or to keep the tires from hitting the chassis as well.
