Since the slash is pretty much based on the rustler they are pretty close to being the same. The tires are narrower and the shocks are softer stock to get the realistic body roll but yes they are fun.
Sorry but this is completely incorrect. The Slash is based on the Stampede I believe, The Rustler is based on the Bandit, they are polar opposites, just look underneath one and the differences are night and day.
