ok well i hav a black widow chassis but im lookin at getting a slingshot i found one for 80 buks with everythin links all new and i hav the money...my question is should i stick with my widow or buy the slingshot
 
Get an SWX instead..."thumbsup"

i have done the sling shot thing.... sold it.
when you use losi .6 shocks the travel is very short, which in a lot of places can
make it roll more often.. even with the low cog IMO
when you need the tire to drop down the short shock wont let it
but they do float the tire over some places...

my sling shot would roll in places where a 4" shock truck would not ....
like i said JMO

The SWX is an awesome chassis, but so is the slingshot. Your best bet is to use .9 losi shocks or traxxas revo's, plenty of articulation. It comes down to driving style and personel perferance.
 
i have seen a sling shot struggle where
a 4in. truck had no problem..

longer shocks on a sling shot means
more belly hight..
either you have to limit them inside or lay them down a lot more...
 
well i was gona get the slingshot but i ran across stormer hobbies and they had a dna dig instock so i got the dig instead ill stick with my widow for now"thumbsup"but thanks for ur help i like the slingshot an swx or mabye a top banana not sure yet but my widow is still great
 
I like my Slingshot :) but it depends on the terrain and the driving style. I have a buddy that got the new Bender and he doesn't dig it very much.
