Regret. It's what's for breakfast.
The Traxxas Slash is a household name in RC at this point. Most people have one, had one, or know someone who has one. In 2WD and 4WD, they're simple, reliable, cheap to fix and fun to drive. You can race them if you're keen, but as a muck-around basher they're one of the greats.
Meanwhile, mini scale RC cars have enjoyed a resurgance in recent years. 1/24 scale crawlers are all the rage, Rlaarlo and WLToys are pumping out overpowered 1/14 and 1/16 scale buggies and truggies and people are all over them. And yeah, they're awesome!
So you'd think that Traxxas Slash plus Mini Scale RC should -should- really result in a beaut little fun machine, right? Seems like a reasonable conclusion, doesn't it?
Well, no. Not even close. Let me introduce you to the Biggest Mistake in RC.
Let's (pro)test!

Notes/Corrections:
- These were new Christmas 2018 - I guess the pandemic compressed my time-sense!
- First unpacked & driven in Jan 2019.
- Had fires both at that time; photo is from a little later.
- I did set the XL2.5s to LiPO mode by holding the EzySET button to turn it green (red is for NiMH).
- Mine has plastic axles but metal center shafts. I don't know if there are metal axles for these.
