My LHS has a slash & e-revo sitting there... he just called me to try and get me to come buy one.

I think my wife would kill me, though

My E-Revo VXL should arrive on Friday. I'll be sure to get vid/pics.

I wonder how many problems it will have. Traxxas has never made a mini and this is a new kit, so I'm sure a few kinks will have to be worked out. Or maybe traxxas thought this through a lot..

I have 2 VXL Slashes and a VXL E-Revo sitting out in my vehicle. My LHS called me this morning and said they came in. They didn't even bring them out of the back until I could make it down there to take my pick of the colors I wanted.

So now I have an Amsoil Slash, Whelchel Slash and Blue E-Revo. On Thursday, I'll be receiving in a Red Slash and a Red E-Revo. More than likely the Red Slash will be finding it's way onto eBay or back to Tower.

honestly i don't think they will have too many on the design considering it is just and e revo miniaturized, but i think there problem will ly with the esc considering that they can't even get the regular vxl to work let a lone a miniature one that is waterproof

Pulled one out of the box at the LHS to look at, it's really sweet. Smaller then I'd pictured, actually.

Too bad the wife threatened to kill me if I bought one...

How does the size compare to a CRT.5?

LHS has them but I didn't stop by to check them out yet. One guy ran his and said it was pulling wheelies pretty easy out of the box....
