I'm new and just wanted to say sup.
I'm new to this forum but have been messing with rcs my whole life (i'm 13)
Thinking about getting a slash for christmas.
here's the kits that I have now:
Hpi micro rs4 (stock)
Hpi sprint 2 drift (mamba 69k brushless, up-graded diffs + front cvds)
Traxxas xl-5 rustler (going through a 4wd conversion very slowly)
Sportwerks chaos (ofna picco p-zero motor, mini inferno wheels/tires, a ton more mods)
Micro-t (brushless, aluminum, carbon fiber, etc.)
Kyosho Lazer Zx (original lazer zx)
Tamyia clod buster (also original)

Yeah it looks nice and all that but it really isn't.
Its a sportwerks chaos that was oriningaly 100 bucks
it broke some much that I've replace gears and tons of parts a ton of time.

kit $100
new motor $40
starter box $40
Air filter $16
replacement servo $16
15 + replacement gears at least $75
5+ clutch shoes at least $35 (they last like 20 runs tops)
3sets of wheels/tires $35-40 dollars
better rx battery $15
better rx $0 (cause I used what I had)
2 sets of diffs (2front, 2rear, 2 center)$100

So thats about a $500 tab and the car barely runs.(also thats not including glow plugs + gas)
thats why I want to get a slash

I did not even notice it was a Chaos, they are certainly known for being problematic.
