I got to admit, I'm impressed. Best combo of old parts and new thinking in a few years. stampede shocks and body and wheels, stampede as it truly should be


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

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

Basically a 10th scale truggy. Not bad, but nothing spectacular. Likely standard F.O.R.D. Traxxas stuff.....................

Looks easily modifiable, though.

Not too bad, I guessed a 4wd slash, but was hoping 5th scale.
Kinda surprising as they already have the slayer, but it sucks, so this is its replacement.
Nice it has Revo diffs. Finally making 'em HD out of the box.

Now thats pretty kewl, wonder how much ?
I really like how they moved the motor around like that and many other features.
To bad TRX always sells stuff RTR rather 80% or kits like most others.

I will consider getting one,now that I run a 1/8 buggy on a track on weekends I'm getting bit by the SC truck bug again. Was thinking real serious about a SC10 but would much rather a 4X4 fer sure ! Time to thin the herd,Again !


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Revo diffs, 32p spur and 4wd. I like the idea, and i also like the fact that it is sturdy enough to put some pede talons on and a tmaxx body and have a light weight MT!!! I will have to pick one of these up, perfect for a hacker c50 L can and 4-5s lipo.

Looks like traxxas actually made a new vehicle, and used a few parts from the old stuff. Lower arms look like pede rears, I am sure the rear hubs are pede, the front knuckles will be new. The steering setup looks better than the slash, and the chassis appears to be a bit lower than the slash 2wd as well. All good stuff.

to me it basically seems like a cheap electric 8th scale. slash and an 8th scale buggy are basically the same size. just with it being all plastic its going to be lighter and able to run the 2s pack.

I might get it but it really depends on the price. Would sell the electronics though.

I am hoping the body is 1/2 to 1" longer and wider.
SC8ight. The Slayer body is 12" wide need about 13" The body looks way better than the stock slash.


Whats with the Charger and NIMH???

Same size as a Slash. At least on the RCCA site they say 2wd Slash bodies are a direct fit.

Im not overly enthused, but its nice for traxxas to have a 4x4 to compete with the other 4x4 corr vehicles. Erevo diffs in a 1/10 vehicle is good though yeah, and the lower CoG looks promising for aftermarket varients- stick longer arms on it and call it a 1/10 truggy?...

Do I see a 4wd slash racing class starting up? I'd buy one if they did. Maybe the titan xl5 esc for spec racing? or 13.5.....???? Just an idea
