Arrmas are generally good, but their parts support is spotty. Sometimes, they'll go months without being available, probably waiting for a huge production run in China.
Traxxas are more expensive for their performance level, but their parts support and after-sale support is unrivaled in the USA. (and you WILL break parts a lot if you're 3S and brushless on 1/10 scale) This is part of why Traxxas costs more.
Only way you're going brushless Slash for $300 is used or 2WD. With 2WD, you're not going to be able to put all that power down, it's just going to be wheelspin city.
If I were re-entering knowing what I know now and I wanted a Slash, I'd probably go with a brushed Slash 4x4 for $320, then upgrade it in time. It's either that or you have to find a used source you trust.
If you REALLY want brushless speed without the control of 4WD, maybe a Rustler VXL instead. Get ready to put some ballast in the front end though! ;-)

The throttle seems odd, but so is spectrums bind sequance. i think i didnt bind it right. im talking the second part using the bind switch next to the power switch.
