Using the standard TC4 chassis there is also the fact the wheelbase will be at least 25mm shorter than every other buggy, which will make it very responsive, but you'll find most of the cars running at the York vintage masters will have a 250mm wheelbase and no slipper.
Makes it difficult to fit any current body on it though.
If you are sticking to 19 turn motors you don't need a slipper. It all depends on the surface, if there is enough grip then the only use for a slipper would be to protect the gears from damage when landing from jumps.
Without a slipper on low grip surfaces your options are either to loosen the ball diffs so they slip (means they need rebuilding often - this is how we all used to do it), adjust the throttle settings on the transmitter, put in a motor more appropriate to the conditions, or learn how to drive with a smoother throtle.
