Now we're even more excited. Love how Harley explains things properly and is never negative. My 3 boys and I are not a aspahlt family. We have have a dirt oval track, we bomb, and we crawl. Between our SC Losi and Traxxas rigs we've always have better luck with the slash. Quick to fix and parts everywhere. We love the slash and hate all the negative talk of this truck. I think 500 is fair. That's probably a 150 dollar body which is fair if you add up your time and money to paint and make one that nice. Add in all the other parts and we're in. We ordered a black one and a red one. Shoot i might even have to throw down a couple hundred feet of asphalt just for drag slash. Thanks for the great vid.

I have a drag converted slash, a drag converted losi tlr 22, and a dr10. The slash has the beefier components, like 2.5mm hardware vs 2mm. plus the parts are way more available, and around half the cost! They have an aluminum kit for control arms, shock towers, c hubs and knuckles and a couple other items, for $60. The same kit for the associated is $144. Slash has it's advantages for sure!

Thank you for showing the bottom of the chassis, this verifies to me that the trans fit a stampede. As i said before It's basically the same thing offered by others in the segment. other than a new gyro and a short rear shock tower it's not that innovative. That said, the transmission is the biggest thing to cheer about. Metal motor plate and a true sealed diff (not a planetary type to boot😎) make this an upgrade, that has been begged for for at least 25 years now. I been wanting to build a new Stampede, but I hate having to use third party parts, when it should only be an option.. The only thing i don't like about the trans, is the fixed arm mounts, no adjustments for rear toe or anti-squat

In real drag racing, the trans brake, is almost in every drag car ever built. Trans is short for Transmission. What it does is locks the transmission to where it can't move and then instantly transfers power to the drive train. It's actually quite useful because it can make your reaction time alot better and more consistent.

Where's the extra ~$100 in value on the Traxxas?

I'm going to pick my new Drag Slash this coming week and if it will fit I'm going to go ahead and start airbrushing it.

Body looks good, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed in the overall finished package. I think Traxxas really missed an opportunity to come up with something truly innovative Like I thought they were going to do which would’ve been maybe a more scale chassis with front engine, scale flip up cage etc. Traxxas could’ve created a new sub genre of no prep scale drag racing . Unfortunately the only advantage I see here is the transmission since all the other features cannot be used legally and sanctioned race in events.

$500....for that? You can buy a DR10 and save $180. You can buy a Losi and save $100 and get the same performance. Traxxas chose to chase the cash cow trend, rather than develop something unique. That is disappointing. Traxxas is essentially providing the 2017 Street Eliminator build, with a modified Pro Line style trans, standard VXL system, and added a few tweaks. If released two years ago, this product would have been innovative. However, in today's day and age, this product is not worth what Traxxas is asking. Traxxas should have added threaded plastic body GTR shock bodies, and developed a 0˚ front bulkhead/shocktower, in addition to their current product, thus providing something innovative, and more in line with what is currently being used in the RC no-prep drag racing community, but still keeping a majority of the product a standard Slash.

It kicked me out of racing years ago because I didn't have the money for the proper ESC. I agree it is not likely to be everywhere, but in small places where they barley have enough people to run an event they need to make it as easy as possible or they stop running races. The comp crawl events ended for the same reason. At the end it was "run what you brung" and 2 guys destroyed everyone else and that was the end of it. Not saying this is a bad truck in any way, but people need to look into the rules for where they are planning to race before they spend any money.
