I find the two manufactures tranny's to be relatively the same. Out of the box, not reliable for 6S. Now if you upgrade them with steel gears, then both will handle 6S well. I agree on the rest of the drive train - HPI does get the nod there.
As far as the Stampede, I challenge anyone to grab an equivelent 1/10 2WD MT and see how well it holds up to 40 mph bashing...the key there is 2WD MT - the RC10's compare more to the Rustler.
Some of you weren'' around prior to the Revo coming out - it was the most revolutionary MT ever. An engineering marvel in the world of RC. It also propelled the brushless push here - how many of us spent the better part of a year or so figuring out how to stick electric power in one...?
And how about the technology in the Summit....might not be up to high power brushless, but have you seen any other company design something that complex?
My only beef with Traxxas was the grandstanding leading up to product releases, and only find out they have done a rebadged this or that...
The world wide web has made it quite easy for a clerk at 7-11 to belittle an engineering staff while he is on his 10 minute state mandated break for hourly workers..
