Did Traxxas just release a product to compete with themselves? Yup.
 

For some reason I think Ive seen this somewhere before
LaTrax | 1/18 SST (#76044-1) - Video

maybe cause it looks just like the 1/16 slash.....


Im soo confused. I get that its a different chassis and being 1/18 th instead of 1/16 its going to be a ittsy bitsy smaller... and being Larax its going to be considerably cheaper at $159.99... but they officially just killed all 1/16 slash sales.

I like this new little truck, never did like the 1/16 Slash as the suspension seemed a little over-engineered and the 1/16 was a little bigger than I wanted for a "mini." The LaTrax 1/18th scale SST looks pretty sweet to me! "thumbsup"

Didn't care much for it in person, kinda prefer the 1/16 myself.

I'm liking the offering of these over the Losi mini's/micro's. (which I have a few of)
WP electronics and I assume a driveline that can run in the dirt w/o getting all gummed up immediately.
