![]() While I don't own either brand, I had the pleasure of turn marshaling while watching several kids show up to the track, 2 kids were running the Slash and 1 kid ran a Senton 6S BLX. I have very recent experience comparing Traxxas to ARRMA plastic at the local track in my area. As much as it pains me, I suggest Traxxas over Arrma for people who are new, testing the waters, coming back from a long time off, etc.since I know the vehicle will at least perform properly out of the box. As you said, their radios are garbage (it should be considered theft that you are charged for them), the shocks leak like crazy, the pre-drilled mounting positions for the motor create a pinion/spur mesh that's just a tad too tight, leading to a number of issues, and there are lots of reports of defective ESCs with an LVC that kicks in way too high. I think Arrma's quality has gone down since Horizon got a hold of them. And depending on how you drive, the stock driveshafts may last a while so. $500, but it has a lot of the upgrades in the box, only really needs driveshafts. If you do go Traxxas, I'd say get the Slash Ultimate. Plus the Arrma comes with a true POS radio that needs to be replaced, so add another $30-$100.Īrrma's only advantage is that the 3s cars are $300 vs the traxxas cars $400.
