Yeah, i agree...why this vehicle NOW? Plus half of the US market is going into winter! Silly timing. I thought for sure that Traxxas was working on a 1/5 scale Gasser or E-Beast? That's what everyone wants these days anyway. IMO

I think they should've released it in time for the holidays, myself. Plenty of people would love to see this under their tree (myself included, as much as I hate the limiter). Releasing it this time of year means that by the time the other half of us can actually use one they should be easier to get and more parts (replacement and upgrades) will be available. When they released the Spartan, that was bad timing.

And for the Baja, maybe it's closer to 30 pounds? I don't remember how much but mine has 0 weight reduction and weighs a ton, I imagine it's pretty dangerous at ~40 MPH but I must've forgotten to check if it was Skill Level 10


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

My all aluminum gasser with twin pipes weighs 36 pounds. Either way it can snap an ankle like a twig

So mine's probably 28-30 pounds. I slid it sideways into my ankle once (not very quickly) and it took all 6'3" ~200 pounds of me to the ground.
