Is the durability better than the original slash body?

It's better quality and I would reinforce the body with drywall tape/shoo goo.. Look up how to make it work on YouTube.

Yes it is, the body is a thicker plastic. I would still use a duct tape or carpet tape along the wheel wells to prevent excess rubbing on big landings.

Durability is much better. The chevy Silverado is a very well scaled as far as a real look.

Yes they will bolt on they have a 12mm hex. You will most likely have to trim the body on your slash because these are about an inch taller than the stock tires. I love these tires they hook up very well in all conditions especially loose dirt. And they have lasted very long for me so far

Buy a brushless slash and it will be less expensive that way. This one is a brushed truck

It did for me. I wanted something stronger than the stock unit. The stock unit failed without any real harsh use. With this locker you get immediate results when traction is lost. There is no harsh hits from the locker you can sometimes feel with the stock unit, which I suspect why the original failed. This unit does not require special additives when changing fluids. It does lock up when making u-turns so I try not to do that. It is very smooth and seemless. There are others out there you may want to go and do more research, but I think you will be very happy with this model.

Depends on the motor, esc, battery and gearing you run in it. It could be a 60mph truck or a 2wd crawler if you wanted. It's all up to you. The traxxas slash is probably faster than this one only because traxxas is ready to race. This j concepts looks like more of an off roader and speed is never off roads friend because you'll experience overheating problems. To run those big tires off road it needs to be geared for low speeds which gives you the torque you'll need. Good luck Joey!

The Monroe Reflex shocks / struts are definitely better quality than original equipment. It was a big improvement for our SUV.

David, The steering servo is faced a quarter turn from stock, It uses a smaller receiver box (included) and the side nerf bars are wider. That is how I can tell the difference which slash I am using. I hope this helps. Aloha Merv

It's heavy but offers good protection. You'll need to stiffen your suspension to keep the truck from bottoming out. It fits the Slash 4x4 great.

The set does NOT replace all screws in the Slash VXL but they are generally workable (not perfect) in several instances. They are good to have around. I have not had issues with rusting however we try to limit wet usage to prolong overall life of car and motor. Hope this helps.

I've actually had pretty good luck with mine. This is the second one I've owned. I ran the first one over while working on the truck so I can't say anything bad about it. I've owned the second one for two years now and get regular use out of it. Wheels are great and the tool holders are pretty nice as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the third after I run number two over!

Thus far they are far superior to the Dunlops that came on my Honda Fit. The Dunlops were constantly loosing pressure each time the temps dropped. I have yet to drive them through any significant snow however they have had great traction on wet and slushy roads. I'll report back when it winter finally sets in, in Denver. :)

I would definitely get a sye. Then you can just use a front XJ drive shaft for the rear. I used the hack n tap style sye and picked up a used front drive shaft from the junk yard. I've been wheeling it for about a year now with no vibes or problems. Ideally I would have used a new drive shaft and rebuilt my transfer case with a sye but I couldn't justify the extra money.

This is just a clear body, not a kit, and it does not come with paint. This body does not fit the slash. it is meant for monster truck style rc's.

As long as your slash takes lipos which it does, this battery will work. I needed to make my stampede use straps to hold it but def. worth it

Yes. I did a Vxl 3s in there and the truck won't hold it up. Traxxas slash 4x4 is worth it the extra money.

Unsure of which one you're buying or intended use, however generally there is not a better knife value around. My experience is limited to sub 5" Moras in camp and moderate bushcraft roles and maybe in a secondary role as defensive fixed blade when better tools were not allowed. If that matches your roles, then YES. I haven't seen their stainless edge retention and toughness bettered by any of the other non-"supersteels" and the other elements do what needs done.
