you can get the cayenne from rcmart for $180 rtr
http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-tam...cPath=420_1167 tamiya lists the stuff on there site at about double what everybody else charges because they believe that is better to shop at your lhs and I think that the cayenne is better than the slash because it is 4wd I own a ta-02 s-10 pretty much the same thing as the df-01 just a shorter chassis but I modded the **** out of mine and it is an awsome trail rig.
if you want some links to some builds with this chassis pm me.
but, I have to admit that the slash is awsome if you like jumping and racing but if you want a better all around truck go with the cayenne or you could look at what your lhs has and get what you want
