The time/money has already been spent on it. The hard part is done. So it's just a matter of production and packing now.

They also have an investment in the 1/5th Baja 5R Mustang that was announced at the January 2015 toy fair and still has not been released. Not to mention it's based off an already existing platform in the Baja so it shouldn't take over a year for the tooling, etc. to to come on line.

As much as I'd like to see this released, I don't see it happening anytime this year if at all.

Keep your chin up. Didn't it take more than 2 years for the Savage Octane to come to market after they debuted it? We might get the FJ in summer 2018!

will be replaced with a Stampede varient.

pardonmyn00b · 03-25-2016, 03:22 PM

I hope it has dog ears.

Scrap · 03-25-2016, 03:27 PM

I quess we can say goodbye to this one then. Traxxas will never make this as it isn't a basher.

Well not that I really needed another scale truck.

Lame. It would be nice to see more companies large enough to complete with traxxas to drive innovation up and price down but that doesn't seem to be happening.

So in a roundabout way the initial troll job redirecting traffic to the traxxas website was accurate

Traxass and HPI may have been in negotiations about the acquisition for quite some time. Perhaps the redirect was a real hint about the buyout. Hope that Traxass saw value in the FJ way back but I'm not holding my breath.

I know..lol Someone at Traxxas was probly all, WTF!!!??

imthatguy · 03-26-2016, 06:38 AM

Traxxas has a massive interest in efficiencies of distribution.

Halme · 03-26-2016, 06:43 AM

The product seems to be finished and there seems to be market for said truck.. It would be blindness to discard this. Just paint it blue and add few stripes and we're good.

XSRCdesign · 03-26-2016, 07:36 AM

I feel like you guys are overreacting a bit... Until anyone states anything about anything it's all just speculation.

I'd rather a company with money and apparently a strong presence take over, the. Just watch them die.

I know it doesn't say it's a done deal, but this is probably what people are referring to.

XSRCdesign · 03-26-2016, 09:32 AM

I know what they are referring to...

I'm referring to them acting like "ZOMG Hpi is going to suck now ahhhhhhh!"
