New Traxxas vehicle!!

Traxxas are like Maxamps in that respect, I would have to agree.

Trouble is, they dont make durable enough products for the people they are targeted at- noob = bad driver & poor electronics knowledge. Not a good idea to sell inherently weak designs then, and as for price gouging on the lipos, thats just shameless behaviour taking advantage of people who dont know any better/thing...

I was caught on that.....after rustler release i got one, looking websites, videos and so on, at that time, traxxas really looked good.....where i live i had the first lipos and so on......after some time i gave up on traxxas.....and i was glad to sell all my rustler spare parts.......is a good car, all traxxas are well built but with design flaws.....its for noobs only......imo.......

now i just cant imagine buy something traxxas.....

they will never release an e-buggy......to go 50mah or so and no jumps? servos?........a toy among rc cars? i cant hold it.......i really hate traxxas for sure.......who told emaxx was built for jumps???? i do not agree.......i will stop now, i dont want to remember all bad stuff......dot

You would think that now that the Slash is the oldest platform in the SC arena and losing sales to the newer entries in the SC market, they would release a VXL Slash to regain some of those sales?

It will probably be an platinum edition e-Jato 3.3 deluxe.

I heard a couple Rustler based Slash... if I'm not mistaken, the Slash IS based off the Rustler. Did I miss something?

What have traxxas fan boys been asking for lately? An electric slayer? That would have been my first thought. What about a truggy? I doubt this, but you never know. I mean they DID technically START the truggy revolution with the Revo's revolutionary design/performance, so maybe now is their time to actually jump into the monster they created and build something that can compete with the big boys.

Maybe flying 4-tec VXL? Tht would be cool

The Slash is actually based off the stampede, the raised platform of the rustler. they main differences to the stampede are the longer chassis (nearly three inches i think) and the incorporation of the rustler/bandit steering bellcranks. I have no desire to get into the scale truck wars, bit i have been planning to get a stampede VXL and the chassis and steering (links and everything) for the slash and make the best stock stampede ever built.


Wait a second, Just had the thought. What if the new car is the evolution of the stampede, with new chassis and slash steering. would be easier to drive with bellcranks and a slightly longer chassis
