I have the Slash 4X4 Platinum and I can tell you it is a pretty solid short course truck. I do not baby it all and bash it around a lot. So far, I have not broken anything on it. Putting a 2 cell lipo in it increased performance significantly. I also just bought a Losi 8ight-e buggy. It is a 1/8th scale buggy with most of the same components as the Losi 8ight 3.0. So far, it looks to be a pretty stout buggy. We shall see when I take it to the track at Remote Control Hobbies in Littleton. Their track is ok but it is a lot fun to play around on.
