As for me, I will buy one as soon as it comes available. I think Traxxas made several changes that are really great.
A transmission that is 2 1/2 times stronger than the original? This one has metal gears? I believe Ultramaxx and a few others were producing metal gears for the original but check into some of the pricing on those IF you can even find them.
The original transmission has always been the weak point for me. Even with RCM's metal idler gears, I can put together a setup that will blow the transmission away on the first run! At around 50 - 60mph, it just blows! I will definately put this new configuration to the test. I hope it's everything they say it is. Does anyone know where I can find specs/info on the 2 speed tranny kit?
Beefier driveline and diffs. The originals were weak.
Extended chassis. There's alot of aftermarket chassis's out there that we've been paying big money for.
With the new changes, this opens up a new list of specs, dimensions and options that we have to experiment with. I love it.
