RE: is the slash 4x4 a good truck
I have a slash 4x4 that I have taking to the track to practicewith, for afew weeks . It is a ton of fun and flys around and over the track .
That being said , the best drivers atthe track seem to have a Jammin or Hyper 10 4x4 . It seems when the slash guys good better at driving they want a truck that has a lower COG and more tunability . The traxxas ESC is also not tunable at all . The better drivers want to change the timing / torque and what not depending on track size and conditions . That can not be done with Traxxas ESC .
Also, it seems that the kVrating on the motors that are dropped in to the Jammins and Hyper 10's are much higher than the 3600 kV of the Traxxas Velineon .
I met a driver with a 5000 kV motor in his Hyper 10 and he was passing me , no problem on the straight . I was keeping up in the turns and jumps at times , mostly just chasing . I have alot to learn .
