You can polish a turd to make it "Race Ready", but its still a turd.
If you are going to Race, you need to get the correct equipment.
If you are going to Play, that is a totally different situation.
So why is a Slash a "turd?" That sounds entirely snobbish. Im sorry, how many Traxxas "turds" have sold? Which brand spurred an entire class of trucks and buggies? How many companies copied Traxxas's "turd?"Quote:

No used cars or radios but he said they're out there if I look.
You obviously haven't spent much time at the RC RACING track. The Slash is NOT a competitive racing platform and that fact can be enforced by observing how many Slash trucks are NOT winning races.Quote:

I spent a fortune modifing my Slash, to the point it was like a NASCAR, the body was about the only thing left. It was stupid fast and just as hard to control and I broke parts non stop. One night I bought a SC10 to play with the cool kids and I turned better times with a bone stock truck than the FrankenSlash.
I ran that SC10 in the spec class and had a blast. Bought one of the first HPI Blitz when they came out and it became my modified class truck. That thing was a beast, handled like it was on rails.
I ended up parting out the Slash and moved on. When they release the 4x4 version I bought another one and it was the same thing, great basher, not so much on the track.
I also got one of the first E-Revos when that came out. That was tne ultimate basher. That truck would go through anything and with a Castle Brushless set up it screamed. But it was to big for the track and I never had time to go out and just play.
Good times. Lots of money spent, but some good memories.
I have owned just about every 10th scale truck out there. By far my favorite is the losi 22sct.
I MAY be looking to get out of it... I just do not have the time any longer..
i got into the short course thing... I have associated -10th scale buggy/ and short course..
2 lipos-charger- power supply
extra parts ... Hit me up and we can talk!
Heading out to MHORRC around 3:00pm today (Saturday) to check out the 1/10 racing and the hobby store if anyone wants to meet up for a bit.
Dang, I wish I saw this earlier.
