I think once it is realeased, that price will change, but, for now... It's there for those dumb enough to pay it.

Those prices are as bogus as the release date on there.. oct 24 :P Towerhobbies needed to get the two new trucks into the system, and dumped in the MSRP's not the actual sell prices.

Now listed as $684.99 at Tower.

Better?


And BTW -- for those of you who doubt our manufacturing capability --

We build about 35,000 controllers a month. We have PLENTY of capacity to handle Traxxas' orders.

That sounds like a good price! Not only do you get a Monster Max combo, there is a Revo attached to it too!

Patrick are you ready for the complaints that your powerplant is going to break the Revo's drivetrain?

If that's the case, how come I have not received any notification about the shipping of my V3?

Tower Hobbies always had stupid high prices on new products. It will change at least 50 times before it is out. It is listed at $689.99 - $699.99 at other stores

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Yeah, well the EREVO probably still using those plastic driveshafts. Wonder how long they will last with the MMM, Neu & 6S

[E-fanatic]

I have a 34mph brushless in my e-revo(feigao 10L) and have a soft start on. I have killed all 4 drive shafts. So I know that a castle combo on 6s will destroy them rather quickly.

I have a MM/Neu combo in my ERevo. It's got a couple of hours of track/race time on it. It's geared for High 30's to 40mph. No broken parts in the drivetrain.

[Unsullied_Spy]

I had a Revo with a 1515 1.5D and didn't have a problem with the shafts, but I obliterated the rear diff (yes, it was properly shimmed) in under 1 hour of use. That coupled with other problems (like snapping the chassis) made me sell it. As long as there's room in my non-Traxxas RCs to mount the MMM I'm happy.

As has been discussed the MMM in the traxxas pictures are v2 - check the bullets on both sides of the MMM - Traxxas wanted to get this out for iHobby which is not unusual - I'm sure they will be in the shops for around end of Nov for Xmas sales.
