I'll be keeping my G2R-Revo. The new Traxxas has got nothing on it that I can see.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly

Great timing, I wouldn't be surprised if this was planned with CC. I don't like the tranny setup, I wanted something like a 1/8 center diff upgrade that is more towards a single motor setup.

Plus, I just got into truggies. They're 10x tougher, faster, and more race worthy. Revos have their place, but not if you want to advance.


:D

i think they put the titans in because they want to keep the price down but i bet they will do a V-twin Revo as a concept car

That is an estimated price and subject to change! The list price for my Revo 3.3 when I bought it for $500 from Hobbypeople was over $900. I really can't imagine this being more than $450. Which is still high considering 90% of us are going to immedietlly pull off the radio, esc, and motor. But I will still be one of the first in line!!! I'll be putting off the MMM to get this, I'd rather get this and have fun with it and then put the MMM in this anyways, plus I'll be able to wait till the MMM combos come out

This is good news; though the chassis/layout looks rather tupperware to me?

the pictures imply that there are nitrid coated shock on it. I can't imagine that to happen.

By judging the pictures, the chassis seems to be plastic, so there must be some kind of brace that holds it together at the bottom.

From what I saw in the details, they changed the center skid design to support the chassis.

On another note.... I wonder if the new tranny can accept a finned Neu motor. The single bl pic they had showed a smooth can motor. I hope they have enough clearance to mount a finned motor on there without rubbing against the chassis.


There's two sides to every schwartz, he got the up side and I got the down side.

Awesome, I wonder what size the battery trays can accomodate... hopefully A123 thickness, it might solve my layout problems :P

Its about ****** time!! I think I'll be keeping my Revo for now, as its working awesome. Traxxas really thought it through though. Looks to be a great solid design.
