People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Moved to the Revo section.
Looks nice! There is one thing that would make it significantly better - if it were electric. I don't understand why Traxxas is lagging so much on making an out-of-the-box electric 1/8-size MT racer. This new Revo is a step in the right direction, but it's still nitro...

u know it would be brushed and would be 2 motors and 2 batterys like the emaxx. it wont be cool unless its brushless.

Seen the price tag? it's nearly double the 3.3. It seems hard to believe that all those hop ups would even add up that much... still looks nice though.
On another note, I ofter wonder why there is no traxxas 1/8th buggy...

Well, to be fair, this is a "limited edition" so you couldn't expect much else in terms of price.
But I highly doubt this is the "next revo"

One of the biggest improvements IMO is the steel brace clips around the knuckles so you dont have to buy replacement knuckles since you'll see less popping ;).
900 is just the retail, im pretty sure its gonna be in the 600-700 range when it actually comes out.
The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

cool, but I 'll take my E-Revo over it any day, and I am sure you guys feel the same way about yours.
Required items sold separately:
Two-channel transmitter with 8 AA batteries, mini receiver,
paint, starter box, glow igniter, charger, and fuel.
