Did Traxxas miss the boat?

Overall I think it was a major coup for HPI to get a BL savage out, and also to get it out before TRX did. More than anything tho it will be at least a strong alternative to have vs the Revo.

What will decide things in the long run I think will be the price and reports of durability. My LHS still sold more E/T maxxes than Revos as they were that much cheaper and the diffs are not that easy to explain. He could barely give the Platnum Ed Revo away as it was so expensive.

The Flux is pricey no doubt, but I imagine the Revo won't be cheap either. It has to come in under the Sav by $50 or so or I can't see it will have strong appeal considering the Sav has all HD steel drivelines, big shocks, and a steel tranny. Both have good parts support. Otherwise its trx fanbois vs Sav fanbois.
