yea $200 for the truck and get you a good lipo for a $100 or so, fill the diff and put the aluminum shocks caps on and your in business

does it have to be a slash...because AE came out with a truck similiar to the slash called AE SC10.
i like the way these short course trucks look, but my friend has one with a vxl system and completly stock...it handles like crap.
its very swiggly..hard to explain. and it rolls all the time, even more than my emaxx. you definetly need to tweak the suspension, and more.
