Donny, the Slash is not the vxl but when i get around to getting one for me I will be looking into a bunch of different ones. The evader we have has taken so much abuse its too funny, shit i was racing my neighbor and she swerved over the truck and crushed it but it still managed to limp back to my driveway. It wasnt too expensive to replace everything but i was surprised how easy some of the factory shit broke.
