Lopes3d Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hi looking into getting a slash 2wd for some bashing can’t seem to find too much info on the two in question above can anyone share any light on the differences between the 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I believe the only difference is the electronics, personally I'd get thr brushed and then stick your own hobbywing brushless combo in it. Far better than the traxxas one and would no doubt work out cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) the VXL one has a metal gear Tx might be different. as above get the brushed one and add your own combo Edited September 14, 2021 by turok007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopes3d Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Cheers, so the xl5 is the brushed one? This will be my first electric car, have previously had a few 1/5 scale petrol ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 XL5 is brushed, so a lot slower than the VXL. It also doesnt come with TSM radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopes3d Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks for the info, based on the above put an order in for a 2wd slash. I’ll just run it how it is and upgrade as things begin to break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
