New Traxxas Products - 10.21.2010, 12:03 AM

So most of you have probably seen the new Traxxas Rally VXL. While checking out the rally forum on the traxxas board, I ended up running across some interesting things from Traxxas that were in photos by XRC mag.

Stampede 4x4 VXL

Very interesting and surprising to say the least. Finally Traxxas releases something worth a damn. I aint parting with my Flux though unless i'm REALLY impressed but even then, my Revo experience has left a bad taste in my mouth for all things Traxxas

ugh......im soo tired of "tiny rc vehicles". I never thought anything smaller than 12th scale was cool. I went bashing with a guy who had a mini erevo. that thing was completely stupid, would get stuck on uneven powdery dirt. Lame


Built Ford tough, with Chevy stuff.

Dude Traxxas is the Wal-Mart of the RC community. Crap loads of cheap of american designed, chinese made RC products sold for a low price point with tons of marketing that excites and convinces everyone to buy their products that are at best, decent as a jack of all trades and good at none of them with substandard service to back back them up.

The Rustler is most likely a design based on the Slash 4x4...

I think the Mini Revo/Slash Platform is officially over abused now...

I want new not redone.

One 1/10 onroad please.

Oh and when the hell will Traxxas do a 1/8th scale?

I'm over the mini craze as well. Had a mini revo and had fun with it in parking lots only, which got old!!

When the rally car was released, I called it. "Watch the release a Monster Energy/Ken Block edition."

I do like the look of the Summit, makes me wonder if the diffs will be lockable and what overall gear ratio they ended up with.

Ehh, crawling is long and gone in my area. I have a bunch of designated bashers. I have a drifter. All has been seen and done.

Now the WOW that the 4x4 Slash and the Original Slash brought to the table. Sign me up for more of that.
