Tempted, how is this truck a failure on Traxxas' part? If they set out to build a comp crawler, then yes they failed. They didn't set out to build a comp crawler. They just wanted to make a version of the Revo that was more capable on a trail, and they appear to have succeeded in my opinion.

Also, where have you seen that this isn't a metal geared tranny? It appears to me to be the regular metal E-maxx/Revo tranny with the metal 2-speed option in it. While we won't know until they're tested, I am optimistic that these drivelines will hold up just fine.

I do agree though that even metal gears will likely not hold up to switching the gears or locking the diffs on full throttle.

I understand that you harbor a lot of bad feelings toward Traxxas, but please don't let that tint your glasses the wrong color toward their products until they're actually tested.
