#Traxxas slash 4x4 ultimate should i buy manual

i have a differant set for racing the losi. although i dont race when i have these tires on. the losi and the traxxas have the same 12mm hex so what ever rim you go with will fit both, however i run bar codes on both but on the losi they rub the body and are not legal so i had to trim the body. now you will get everyone on here to diagree and say traxxas is a brick but just remember i have both and did the testing.

the traxxas manuals will tell everything from complete detailed tear down to part # for evrything.

the bearings are 6 differant sizes and the manual is very plain with no info. my losi drive shafts have bent after 3 battery runs on flat surface (when i was testing before hitting the track that has jumps.) the shfts are very thin so i wasnt surprised. I have both and do very well with the traxxas, never broke, the losi i ran the same amount of times and broke a few things, not from crashing either.

now dont get me wrong, the traxxas is a higher center of gravity but just remember it is always 80% driver and 20% truck. the servo and reciever holder is a pain to work with due to the very tight fit compared to traxxas which is a breeze with everything right in front of you. as far as maintance the traxxas can be taken apart completely with 3 tools 2mm 1.5mm and 1mm the losi you will need both metric and standard and alot of differant sizes to boot. Thx!!! Anyone else have any comments?i have both and do very well with the traxxas, never broke, the losi i ran the same amount of times and broke a few things, not from crashing either. Lots using the Mamba Max pro, and EZrun with great success. Best ESC would be RX8 by Tekin but any 100 amp or better ESC should work just fine. Every motor out has been tried in the SCTE and everyone I know loves the 3800 more than any of them even the ones that cost 2 times as much. Motor recommendations would be the Castle 3800 1410. I read a lot about how the Slash 4x4 was good for racing, well let me tell you ITS NOT!!! It is good for bashing and that's all In My opinion. Not all plastic looking like a toy or something it has real metal chassis and shock towers, real good shocks, and is just built like a tank.

In closing I am MUCH happier with my Losi, it drives looks and races like a REAL rc should. Not worth the 500.00 for the Slash 4x4 ult to me. Even Bashing I would have to wait 20 to 30 mins between packs to let it cool down. The Traxxas VXL system over heats within 10 mins of racing EVERY time. Also you can put the brushless system you want in it. The Losi is AMAZING for Racing right out of the Box. It would roll over all the time making it impossible to get consistent times for me at least. Slash 4x4 just sat too high to race good with. Most places that carry Traxxas parts will carry Losi parts too so parts availability isn't really an issue with either. Losi is everything I wanted in a SCT when I bought the Slash.I then continued on with my slash dumping in Hundreds of dollars to get it run how I thought it should. I owned the slash 4x4 ultimate edition and now I own a Losi SCTE.
