I saw that yesterday on the back cover of RCCA but it's the only pic so far of the truck. My guess is that it's probably going to be similar to the Slash. Maybe a RC10T4 with a longer chassis and shorter arms. I would rather see a B44 with a plastic chassis and 4WD though. That way you could have a Traxxas 2WD class and an AE 4WD class so the Traxxas guys don't get their panties in a bunch. AE isn't known for rushing new products to the market so it may be a while until release.

For now I'm somewhat happy with the Slash although I hate the transmission. It's older than dirt, no sealed diff, plastic motor mount, and the fact that I have to take 23 screws out to get to the diff. Traxxas needs to look at the E-Firestorm for what a transmission should really look like.
