Build-a-Basher For Less: Traxxas Lowers the Price of the Slash 2WD BL-2S Kit

Ah, the Traxxas Slash. The machine that got me into this hobby over a decade ago still holds a special place in my heart. If you're looking for a fun and reliable, go-fast R/C truck, the Slash is hard to beat. And while the instant gratification of the ready-to-run (RTR) version is appealing, the feeling you get from a kit build is like no other.

Traxxas has recently announced a drop in price for its Slash 2WD BL-2S Kit, allowing you to build your own Slash short-course truck from the ground up, all the while gaining a complete understanding of how everything works. Traxxas's kits include everything you need to get up and running, including a motor, ESC, steering servo, and radio system, leaving you to provide your own battery and charger.

Originally priced at $299.95, you can now add a Slash 2WD BL-2S Kit to your R/C collection for the lower price of $229.95. Not only does that reduced price help your wallet, but it might free up some space in your hobby budget for a few upgrades.
