I bought this RC Truck for my Son's 9th birthday. Even though he is not within the age range, he really wanted an RC Truck and I thought this would be a good introduction to the hobby. Boy was I surprised the first time we ran this! It is so fast! technology has come a long way since I was a kid! The truck is very durable, it has had many crashes, and *usually* recovers unscathed. The waterproof electronics are another bonus, we live in the Mountains, and spring means wet streets and snow banks, all of which are a blast to drive on, and we don't have to worry about damaging the truck because of the moisture. During one crash, the front right shock was damaged, the great thing about Traxxas RC cars and trucks is they come with a complete parts list and diagram with replacement part numbers. We ordered the replacement part, and now it's as good as new! The On Board Audio (OBA) system is pretty cool! It adds another element to the fun. I had such a great time driving this truck, I ordered a Traxxas Rustler for me so we can race together. I love the Rustler too, but it's not as durable as the Slash. I've driven it 3 times and broken it 3 times! Once again I was able to get the parts and fix it easily, and I have ordered a larger front bumper (Standard equipment on the Slash) so hopefully it will see more drive time soon. The only con I have seen with this purchase is the charger that comes with the kit. The first one we received was defective, RC Superstore sent a replacement, but it's hard to tell the birthday boy that he can't play with his new toy. Luckily we found a friend who had a compatible charger. Also it is very SLOW charging batteries. However, since it plugs into an automobile outlet (cigarette lighter), I think we will find it useful when camping over the summer. For home charging, I would recommend, springing $50 for the Traxxas EZ Peak Plus charger. It is faster, plugs into a standard 120v outlet and is compatible with LiPo batteries if you are looking to upgrade. What more can I say? I love this thing about as much as my son, and am having a blast connecting with him and our new past-time!Read full review

Excellent way to build a Slash 2wd. I used this as a base to add all my extra aftermarket parts. It comes with everything but wheels and electronics. All standard base parts, no hd or alloy parts. Transmission is complete but is really not hd or LiPo use. Otherwise you can't go wrong for the price. A1 recommended.

Haven't gotten much use into it yet. Purchased this and an LCG conversion kit and swapped it over myself (cheaper than getting one already done). Seems well put together and durable. Have yet to really push it.

Just add tyres/wheels and its a roller. Needs radio gear/electronics/batteries/motor - and remember the motor pinion! Its all set to go - just add your favorite body and go racing/bashing
