Wow! I would never, ever have seen that coming. Ever. Certainly looks like it could be a lot of fun to drive. Seems like this is more of a side-effort by Traxxas while they work on bigger stuff (especially given that they didn't hype it) but it looks a lot of fun. Nothing amazing, but a cool offering.

Blimey...a *scale* CORR truck from Traxxas. I don't think ANYONE saw that coming...

kinda reminds me of this

Look like a Stampede with new wheel and body:neutral:

Ok, wouldn't of thought something like that would come out of Traxxas. Would of thought a new EP 4tec before something entirely new

It does look like a stampede..I wish traxxas would come out with a vehicle that did not require spending tons of extras on hop ups just to make it drivable on a reg. basis (Revo aside) IMO

Is this to hold us off untill the brushless e-maxx or 1/8th buggy? I was dissapointed with the new Blast maybe make at least a BL Villan? it's like they're rattling off vehicles and they don't even care.

Nice! Gotta add that to my "gotta have that" list. I'm guessing it'll be priced in the $175-190 range since it's got an XL-5/Titan setup in it. It makes the new Losi Desert Truck look awfully pathetic. At least this one has a pretty realistic CORR body to it.

The XL-5/Titan sure isn't the best. I wish they did the VXL. Cheap enough upgrade anyways though.

What's going on there? :oh:

hmmm Air flow?

Found on traxxas site.
The Titan 12T 550 modified motor is designed for incredible mod-motor power output with virtually maintenance-free operation, and long-lasting performance. The Titan 12T 550 motor’s integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through the motor to keep temperatures down. Airflow is routed through vent tunnels molded in the motor plate. A cooler running motor equates to faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life. The XL-5 Electronic Speed Control offers high current handling, EZ-Set® one-button setup, and smooth high-frequency control. Three drive profiles, thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated connectors, and incredibly low resistance are all features you might expect to only be available on an expensive replacement ESC. As today’s batteries store more and more energy inside their cells, traditional battery connectors could no longer keep up. The included Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for unrestricted current flow.


I didn't read that well enough the first time. :lol:
