- Is Traxxas worth the extra money?
I'm looking for my 1st nitro truck. So far I like the Traxxas Slayer PRO 4x4 but its about $500. I'm also looking at RedCat Racing's Aftershock 3.5 for about $300. I seen Youtube vids of the Aftershock being abused and surviving so I feel its a good quality truck that can take a beating. I can't however find any vids or reviews on Traxxas's quality. Are they tough enough to survive a beating? I want to buy the Slayer but the aftershock looks so tempting. I'm not a fan of the aftershock's low profile either.

(I dont want to order parts every time I accidentally hit a bad bump)
A 6 years ago i ould have told you to stay away from traxxas with every breath in your body, but since the revo came out, they seem to have increased their quality 10 fold. another thing, STAY AWAY FROM REDCAT RACING!!! ive seen all those vids before, and probably EVERY RC video on youtube, but between customer support and part availability, they blow hard.Think about it this way, 2 or 3 years from now when your engine takes its last breath, traxxas will replace it for $15. good luck getting ANYONE else to do that.and i dont know if youve ever driven a revo or any other revo-chassised vehichle, but the handling is phenomenal.Actually, i might get the 5907 myself as i was thinking of getting a new nitro truck as ive been in electric only for a few years. If you can swing it, get the slayer pro 4x4. You will not regret it.
