I ran a Facebook poll<\/a> on RC Bashers & Crashers<\/a> asking this question and over 60% of the participants voted for the Slash. The only problem is I didn\u2019t specify which Senton or which Slash. It\u2019s a problem because the Senton BLX is better than half the Slash range, but not the other half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Traxxas Slash VXL is better at handling because it has TSM (Traxxas Stability Management) which prevents it from spinning out and losing control. The Arrma Senton goes 50 mph while the Slash VXL goes 60 mph. The Slash VXL is better than the Senton BLX but it\u2019s more expensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Senton BLX is better than the stock Slash, and Slash 4X4 because they are in a lower price range. The Senton MEGA is also in that lower price range if you prefer the Arrma brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at the various Slash models and then compare them with the two Arrma Sentons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Traxxas Slash Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Traxxas Slash range goes from 30 mph with a brushed motor to over 60mph with the brushless motors of the Slash VXLs. There\u2019s also a Slash 4X4 for easier off-road bashing because it has a higher suspension and center of gravity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterproof electronic speed controllers, water-sealed receiver boxes, and steering servos are standard on all these Traxxas Slash models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the Slash models are very responsive on the throttle and steering. They all have great suspension systems and are durable enough to crash a lot without total failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are all the Slash models along with some basic specs and features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2-wheel-drive Traxxas Slash<\/a> is very capable on grass and rough terrain because it uses a powerful 12-turn 550 brushed motor that can reach speeds of 30mph. That\u2019s fast enough for most people, especially if you don\u2019t have a long smooth pavement to race on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2WD car is better than 4WD in some ways. For example, 2WD cars are lighter and have fewer parts to maintain. This makes 2WD cars more affordable to run over the long term. Of course, drifting and spinning around tight corners is far easier with a 2WD car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy the Traxxas Slash, excluding the battery and charger for around $ 200. There is another option <\/a>for around $30 more that includes an 8.4V 3000mAh NiMH battery and charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
