You get what you pay for. The Velineon System can completely be submerged in water and be fine. You do that with the SV3 it will burn out. It can handle some water being splashed on it but to much and you endager it of being burnt out.

Try braiding the wires from the esc to the motor.....it makes a single and very strong cable.....less of a chance you will rip a cable out.....plus it reduces radio interference, which is needed for non 2.4ghz radios

Would the sv3 1410-3800 be reliable and work well in a 2wd slash? Or is the 4600 better? (I've read reviews that say the 3800 is less prone to overheating than the 4600, which makes sense)

The 3800 K/V version is the better option, as the rotor inside is about 50% larger than the 1406 motor, and a lower K/V gives more torque and less heat

KV is rather simple when you take out all the mathematics out of it. The lower the KV the higher the torque/acceleration but lower the top speed. Lower KV can handle more Volts from a battery.
