Earlier I messaged Mark about it. Lowlife using MSM name & pic. Some jiberish about on short list of Winners, said something about me winning one of them neat thumbsteer device of yours , they also mentioned that they will send me one , which ever color they / you happens to , pick. JeJe.
The Slash is the perfect all around RC vehicle. I have $2,000.00 into mine and I don't regret anything about it. I'd do it all over again and again and again.
I have 2 2 wheel drive rustlers the new rustler 4x4 vxl nothing's is stock and I love the Aarma notorious my favorite most durable rc I own period so far
And this is why I should have bought one NEW! I feel like such a sucker for buying something that was used when I first got into this awesome hobby. Oh man that looks like fun!! Great video Mark!!! There's another person here in the comments that suggested camo and I agree!! Maybe colors to match Jamie's shirt or something! 🔥🔥🔥
I have a trail truck and it's tyres squeal like an old American move makes me smile like a kid.i have a vintage bandit put a brushless system in it and got awesome speed out of it eventually broke the gearbox it's retired now love to get a slash looks awesome to drive cheers for the videos! Keep rcing all!!!
@Mark Santa Maria I just want to say thank you because you have allowed me show the kiddos how fun this hobby i have been a terrible influence on them because they see me take apart a car and then they do the same I will have 4 year old not really know what he is doing take a whole car apart and I’m just wanting to thank you because I watch your videos the most and you have literally taught me quite a bit and I appreciate it thank you
I enjoyed the video. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I thought the body on your Slash looked great. If you buy a Slash, buy a pair of RPM or aluminum rear hubs. We run these with our school club and I just buy a bunch of cheap aluminum rear buns and when they break, which they will, I give them to the student. That's one thing Traxxas could improve on the Slash. They almost always break. Thanks for video. The speed of that Slash is insane.
That’s a good looking truck. I just got the 1/7 scale Mojave & the weight of it allows me to go full throttle & let me tell you it sounds like a hurricane coming. I like the new body style on the Slash there definitely a great RC. I only like the 4 wheel drive trucks though they just seem to drive so much better.
You got me man- looking forward to my neon green thumb wheel! Maybe I can film my TRX4 Sport now, I put a Creep shell on it in Gold/Green, really pops in the sun ✌️
I’m gonna scoop one of these up this spring. Tired of 4wd stuff all the time and the new Magnum trans seems worth it. Cool looking truck and that body is nice! Thanks Mark for the review and first hand look
I have been eyeing a bandit for awhile. I haven't had a buggy in a few decades, it would be fun to drive one again. I picked up some of your thumb wheels!!!👍👍👍
But Bandit is the worst buggy for its price. Better buy Serpent RTR than Bandit. Also Typhon 3S is better. I love my Traxxas Slash and Sledge, but i never buy Traxxas parody on buggy called Bandit :-D. It's not a buggy, It's a toy.
I had that problem with my RC10GT 15 years ago, so much that I put lead weights in the front to “try “ to keep the front down. We clocked it right at 50 and it was a beast.
Not trying to point out the obvious, but once you put the padded wheel back on the Thumb steering wheel it covers the “MSM Limited” logo! Perhaps put the MSM on the Thumb portion? 🤔
✌🏻😎🏴I’ve asked this before but Aren’t ALL traxxas bodies licensed ? because they have the real full scale versions & race them in real races. We just don’t pay extra on their bodies because they own the licensing for their own bodies/paint schemes.?????
I can't believe I'm admitting this, but my slash VXL was just too fast, I changed it to the xl5 and titan motor. I would rather have it more drivable than try to control it. I am using some faster gearing and 2s and it's fast enough for me.
A Traxxas.... I would never have guessed. Hehe. PLEASE, anything but Traxxas next time. How about a new Tekno? Or working on your existing Teknos? One Slash looks like every other Slash. I'm begging you. 😁
To me that's not fun. It's just like my 2wd upgraded stampede. Can't drive it full throttle ever. Granted it was my first truck, it stays on the shelf since it's so undroveable. I'd need a brick on the front to even attempt a full speed pass.
