Re: Traxxas....your so original.. and they have yet to make a straight axle truck... |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. Is that just a slash 4x4 platform with a different body and tires? |

looks like it.... Traxxas R/D must be a gravy job..:roll: |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. Sct wheels for the fail... |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. They did the same with their new rally. Slash chassis, different body mounts and body. |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. Its amusing to me to hear all the bashing of Traxxas on here. I agree they are not supporting the crawling section of the hobby & are pandering to what they feel sells (so far they are right.) They see a emerging trend in the scale/trail/ & they throw out their offering, thats what they do, sell their product. The funny part is when I got into rc's 20+ years ago Traxxas did not exist & they have managed to create & dominate a "new" section of the rc world, RTR bashing. They build bashers for bashers & whether we like it or not doing that has made them one of the most recognized names in rc. I feel we should at least recognize the power of drawing new people into the rc world, they have that. Some of the newbs drawn in by the fun & ease of RTR Traxxas will evolve to positive additions to our corner of the rc world. I am happy Traxxas came along, I feel they are a benefit to the whole rc world even if they don't make what I want to buy (except those maxx shafts for my Wraith.) |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. They only have 3 chassis now right? They discontinued the Funny cars and I thought I heard that the 2wd Stampede was going to start using the Slash chassis. Its a great idea to build a Trail/Rock Crawler/Racer? Is this just a Summit replacement? They need some more innovation, especially if they are going to charge as much as they do for their stuff, throwing a new body and designation is lame ass. That body looks like a MangaJapaneese8yearoldsfeverdream mash up, ugly contest winner hybrid...yuck. I think the problem is they rebadge the same stuff and toss a new body on it and charge premium bucks for it as a brand new item...its not. I do like the concept tho, dont get me wrong, its still just a different body on a Slash chassis. |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. i just think its funny how the put a new body and tires on a old chassis and call it new then put a outrageous price on it |

Re: Traxxas....your so original.. 1 Attachment(s) The chassis looks very similar to the slash |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. :roll: |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. Without measuring it looks like a stampede 4x4 chassis. |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. Its the chassis from the Rally cars. |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. We'll get a bunch of new bodies out of it, that's for sure. |

It's disappointing that this is just another rehash (with SCT tires!). Seems the last time Traxxas really went out on a limb was with the Funny Car...which was an incredibly niche segment to go after and was pretty must destined to fail at that price point. I hope that failure doesn't mean we get another 3-4 years of Slash/Stampede/Revo rehashes. |
Re: Traxxas....your so original.. It's a good beginner truck that has 4WD for under $300.00 If this is what get more people into the hobby, then so be it. You know someone will come up with hop ups for this anyway. RC Car Action did a video this morning. They mention some specs. http://www.rccaraction.com/blog/2013...t-drive-video/ |

It does explain why Traxxas went after Horizon on the Twin Hammer too. |
Do non-sct wheels even fit over the traxxas knuckles? |
