By the way, i really enjoy driving this thing with the stock setup-up on my rough track w/ huge jumps, the look of this thing in action is unique to say the least-awsome at best~
on the asphalt, well....its an offroad truck no matter what anyone says, set-up to the street with hard springs and treads if thats where u like to go fast....the stock slayer will roll-over like a mitsubishi SUV!
throttle servo went bad during break in, and a clip fell off the universal drive-shaft, so i found out that traxxas has a 'send part 1st, ask questions later' policy...nice
People rely on the advice of product owners for word of mouth recommendations, or rebukes.
If you dont have it, keep your opinions to yourself.
The Slayer is a strong, fast, well handling car, that is great to drive.
It really doesnt serve any purpose, but it is a lot of fun...
