Matt WMD Eliminator
Handling
Matt – (3) Could use more steering, maybe more weight in the front
Kevin – (4.5) Seemed to push a lot less than the STRC, could drift when I wanted to and pull into corner faster. No traction roll, and nimble
Jarodd – (2) A lot of body roll, had to be hard on the brakes to make it turn, and easy on throttle to make it turn through corner exit
Jim – (4) Truck handled well, no traction rolling
Average Rating: 3.375
Jumping Ability
Matt – (4) Very good jumper. Landings were soft and controllable
Kevin – (4) Seemed to fly ok, didn’t bottom out as hard as STRC
Jarodd – (2) Jumped level, but had to be careful to not hold any throttle at beginning of jump
Jim – (4) Jumped well, could clear the double in front of the driver’s stand. if jump was mistimed it landed heavy and hard
Average Score: 3.5
Speed
Matt – (4) Good speed on the straight, had to go slower at start of corner, but once exiting corner it had a lot of pop
Kevin – (4) Good speed, fast enough to clear double at times
Jarodd – (3) Good speed on straight, but had to be careful with throttle entering straight
Jim – (4) Above average speed on straight, and coming through corners
Average Score: 3.75
Ease of Assembly * Note: Only one person worked on this build
Jim – (5) kit arrived pre-assembled except screws were left intentionally loose. Slash front and rear clip installed as a unit. Very good engineering, no issues on assembly
Average Score: 5
Durability
Matt – (4) Nothing broke, everything seemed to work ok. Had a slight steering issue prior to test, but it was a radio adjustment only
Kevin – (5) No breakage
Jarodd – (4) No breakage
Jim – (3) Truck is tough (all aluminum) no breakage during test, but during practice the front left steering brace needed repair (a Traxxas part, not WMD)
Average Score: 4
Notes
Matt – This one gets the coolness factor. Plenty of bling and yet still performs
Jim – Handling was very predictable and smooth

‘jarodd’ realy seems to have it in for WMD, what a shame i’m getting one soon as i can!
I think he has a different driving style than the rest of us. He’s a really good driver though. All of the chassis did well, and I really liked the WMD. Can’t really go wrong with any of them.
It was a good time wheeling all 3 trucks. All 3 were a HUGE improvement over a stock Slash in the handling department. To me, they each had a little different character in handling/jumping, etc. The Slice chassis was on rails. Period. It turned in-thru-off corners awesome + with that mid mount motor set up it is just plain cool. The WMD was a blast to wheel as well but I agree with everyone else, it seemed to push more due to lighter front end and required more use of brake to get it to turn tight. I found it very predictable though. The STRC Slash seemed (to me) to have a nice balance all around the track.
As we all agreed, with some fine tuning on shock oil, springs and overall set up any/all 3 would be formidable opponents on the racetrack

Guys I want to take the time to say THANK YOU to people over at RcSoup.com from Matt and myself. The feedback that you guys gave us will allow us to make improvements to our current v2 LCG chassis. It was an honor to be part of your shootout and we look forward to hearing more good news.
