This is my Traxxas Slash and it is the Mark Jenkins edition. This is a 2 wheel drive Slash with the brushed motor. Everything is stock on this vehicle. I took it out today to the parking lot of our local racetrack and there happened to be these dirt piles there. They were easily five feet high or more and actually very steep. I didn't expect the truck to be able to tackle these hills but my Slash proved me wrong. I successfully jumped these hills over and over again. In the process the truck took a beating, or as many of you call it, I was bashing my RC truck. Some of these wrecks were scary to me since I am new to the RC world, but so far this truck seems to kick butt and take names. I haven't broken anything on the truck yet although some of the crashes looked like they would do some serious damage. I am enjoying every second of driving this truck. It is very fun to drive and I would say that I get close to a half hour of drive time out of the stock battery that came with the truck. I do plan to try to upgrade as much of this truck as I possibly can in the near future, starting with a brushless system straight out of the gate. I never thought an RC vehicle could be so much fun but I was wrong in every way. I highly recommend the Traxxas Slash to anyone looking to get into the world of remote controlled vehicles.
