Traxxas "NEXT" is....

[BP-Revo]

Well, I am disappointed in the sense that its an E-Maxx and not an E-Revo, since I inherently HATE the Maxx bulkhead design with such a passion its not even funny anymore.

I once replaced the hingepins in my first E-Maxx 4 times IN A ROW. At ~20 bucks a pack for the Titanium ones I was using (couldn't use stock due to aluminum bulks) it ate through my money quick. For the same money I could have gotten a Feigao XL as a backup...

However, all this waterproofing stuff has really caught my eye. I've wanted a truck that I can actively run in snow without worrying about frying stuff - and I think this is the ticket. Assuming I have the funds when this thing comes out, I will very likely pick one up, though probably leave it (mostly) stock. I'll use the new FlightPower Evo30 4500mah packs I got for my G2R. With the reduced weight and extra power of these packs the truck should perform decently, and in the snow I wont need super BL power... The mods I'll make will just be a LVC and a Spektrum Micro Receiver (the small receiver should clear enough room to fit the LVC inside the receiver case, or so I hope).

If its not powerful enough, at least I'll have an excuse to buy an MGM

I'm going to look into this very far, and see what I come up with, but right now I'm very drawn to buying it.
