This has to be "tonque-in-cheek".....

I'm not sure why everyone is so dissapointed that they didnt come out with a brushless truck. If they had, nobody here would be happy with the motor system they put in it, and would have ended up replacing it anyway. I see it as they put together a relatively inexpensive vehicle that is brushless power capable right out of the box. Yeah, the titans will come out when I get one. But at a lot less $$ than if they sold it with some VXL brushless system. Yeah, an out of the box ERevo would have been cool too, but again, I dont believe any of us would leave the stock system alone. Like someone else here stated, the members here in this forum are the exception to the rule, and only represent a very small fraction of their market. We are much more likely to spend our money on aftermarket items (such as the Gmaxx), than at our local LHS.

i'm getting one when it comes out. it'll either be that, or i'm converting a LST2 to brushless (the LST2 will be bigger, but after seeing the upgrades to the new emaxx, i'm no longer convinced the LST2 will be tougher).

all i really want is to keep it as close to stock as possible, and bash the snot out of it. the titans/evx2 will be the first to come out when i get it, and i'll throw the LMT in there and see what kind of punishment the truck can take...

My plans also but with the Neu. Lets see who does what first.

Let the games begin!!!

As for me, I will buy one as soon as it comes available. I think Traxxas made several changes that are really great.

A transmission that is 2 1/2 times stronger than the original? This one has metal gears? I believe Ultramaxx and a few others were producing metal gears for the original but check into some of the pricing on those IF you can even find them.

The original transmission has always been the weak point for me. Even with RCM's metal idler gears, I can put together a setup that will blow the transmission away on the first run! At around 50 - 60mph, it just blows! I will definately put this new configuration to the test. I hope it's everything they say it is. Does anyone know where I can find specs/info on the 2 speed tranny kit?

Beefier driveline and diffs. The originals were weak.

Extended chassis. There's alot of aftermarket chassis's out there that we've been paying big money for.

With the new changes, this opens up a new list of specs, dimensions and options that we have to experiment with. I love it.
