Don't be mad because I didn't take your low ball offer for my parts. LOL, get it over it.

x2 on that!!! it would be nice to see what else it might fit. I'm still upset about Traxxas coming in with practically the MOST expensive Trail Truck on the Market WITH of course, a wheelbase that NOBODY else is using, but with some cool innovations (like PORTAL Axles and remote UNlockable Diffs!). THEN, especially at THAT price point - PAINTED OVER Windows????? Really? I hope if nothing else, they make the OTHER Companies finally step up their game!

That might be the BEST looking Bronco Body I've EVER seen!!!
I can HOPE that they come out with an unpainted Body Kit..... But knowing Traxxas for a couple of Decades, they won't. I won't be too picky, but I won't pay $60.00+ for that biotch! No matter how nice it looks...

[Killa-Cotton]

Yes you will. So will I.

Well..... I HAVE to agree! However, it's not necessarily because I don't want to... I literally just can't afford that much.
I will repeat, it's Damn nice looking!!

The Nuremberg Toy Fair is today. I expect Traxxas to announce the UDC, E-Revo 2.0, and the TRX-4 Bronco there. Fingers crossed!

Tamiyablog has a bunch of Tamiya stuff from Nuremberg. The Citroen could have been cool, but turned out disappointing. But it is a body for a class that isn’t particularly scale oriented, & I guess my expectations are too high.

Holy cow. I saw that, but glanced right over it because I didn't think that was an RC car.

What don't you like about it?

The bumpers, grille, & tail lights being molded into the lexan bother me. The decals for the front marker lights are going to be a miserable experience to apply & try to keep on. I would have preferred those to be a separate piece.

The way Tamiya implements decals is astonishing if done by the modeler correctly. I’ve never achieved satisfying results, & certainly nothing that lasts more than a week. The marker lights on their VW Beetle body, & the headlights on the Mini Cooper are examples where the decals are more trouble than the body is worth.

I didn't say that - I love it! I am actually restoring an old one for a friend!

It's Lexan - compromises have to be made. Decals suck, but you can clearcoat over them to hold them in place.

I like the body!

Hell I have an extra $120 set a side for this one lol. You have to figure the RC4WD Mojave is $119. More than ready to pay for a body this dope! lol
And if it's ONLY $60 I'll get 2 of them.
