What are people's experiences with these assist features by Traxxas, Losi, and others? Beneficial or just a gimmick? And I mean for bashing and driving around for fun, not racing where I can see there being a problem. I've been out of the loop for a bit and haven't tried these features, wondering what people's thoughts are. Specifically for 5th scale like on the Losi 5ive-T, but interested in how these systems work across all scales.

Hi Sheo! A new guy posted about his new Slash with TSM.

A mate did a demo for me of the TSM system on his E-Revo just the other day .
He had it set so he could adjust it on the Multi Function Knob on the Traxxas transmitter .
On a wet road , running 6S , with TSM set to 0 the car was very hard to control taking off . You had to get on and off the throttle and counter steer , looked only semi controlled , you knew any second it could spin . At about 40-50% , the car still snaked its way up the road , but with a bit steering input , looked much more in control . At about 70% , he just mashed the throttle and only made a few small steering inputs , the car ran pretty much straight ( maybe swayed a foot or 2 , remember , on a wet road ) .
I was impressed !!!
Getting a car from stopped to full speed in a straight line , I would say it works .
As for other situations I can't say , my mate wont let me borrow the Revo ...lol

I purchased an aftermarket one like the Dbox but have yet to install it. I will let you know my findings when I do.
