Hopefully RPM will be all over making upgraded plastics for it! I wish they'd make more for Axial than the very limited parts they currently do. |

It is only speculation, but the fundamental "heavy" things are in the wrong spot & the axles are cool, but it compounds raising the center of gravity. It will excel at flat land crawling, but may not hold its own on near vertical surfaces. |

I have read some absolute bullshit in my time, but trying to hang shit on this because of some half arsed grainy pics is up there with the best of'em mate I am 100% sure this will sell.....actually I think it will out sell Axial , Traxxas just sells bulk cars, always have always will.......hopefully this thing is not a lemon, and the aftermarket throws some support it's way.....THIS will force Axial to stop treating us like mugs, and start working on their junk instead of just throwing a different Jeep body on an all 'new' car | |

Very excited for this truck! From the photos, and a guy I know who had some hands on action with the truck, its well thought out and performs great out of the box. On top of that, you get traxxas reliability (I know they aren't tekno, but they are numerous steps ahead of axial), this should be a great selling rig! Looking forward to getting my hands on one. +1 for the RPM support. I am sure they will be all over offering upgrades for this. |

This truck looks like it will be pretty dam cool. Always good to have another option out there for a crawler. As for the speculation about component location being poor, i bet there are very few of us who run the battery and electronics in the stock locations. I am a traxxas fanboy for sure and do hope rpm and other jump on the aftermarket for this and other rigs.

I'm not gonna lie. This looks pretty damn impressive. Even the stock body looks highly detailed.

Not gonna lie either, I do want one of these, but that may have to wait until next year, since I'm waiting on one of the new 4-Tec 2.0s to.get off back order.

Will most definitely buy one of these and then probably not play with it for a year like when the Axial Yeti came out. One of the first people to get the Yeti, yet didn't play with it 'till it was played out. Now that I say that, I've got one of the first AVC Spektrum radios still in the box, with shrink wrap. I need to stop working and get to work in my garage more. |

| Re: Traxxas Scale Truck - how it will effect the RC world
here's the question I posed on one of the other forums, what do you guys think? I've been in this hobby sine 1985, and it seems to me like it could either hange the size of the scaler group or isolate traxxas more than they already are, from the rest of r/c. Traxxas is definitely unique and in it's own group at this point, does this change anything? Quote:

| Re: Traxxas Scale Truck - how it will effect the RC world
Its so funny that somebody complains about the composents in the wrong places on it. Yet i got a deadbolt and started looking up mods to make it better and i pretty much reconfigured the entire truck! So its only cool when Axial makes poorly thought out shit. HAHA!! The deadbolt was my first non traxxas vehicle. I have had a jato, big and little summit, and an xmaxx. All the traxxas vehicles excelled in what they are made to do. And i dont see why this one will be any differend. Plus with a price of under $500. This thing is gonna rock. Look up the price of portal rc axels. I did and found them made by mad moose rc. Thy were over $300 for the set!!! And still made of plastic!!!!

Oh I think traxxas could have made this as the very first crawler ever, and through their marketing sold enough units to offset the r&d. traxxas is a powerhouse here in the U.S. What I wonder is how (or if) It's going to affect crawling and scaling in a major way. I think the timing of this being released is going to be beneficial as well, since they are releasing this at the time when Axial is short on stock. If it's as good as some people are expecting, they will buy this instead of the scx10 II and review it on youtube, which will prompt others to buy it as well. I also wouldn't be surprised if Traxxas marketing takes on a 1:1 event or two to promote this. | |

Traxxas needs to step up here by offering other body styels, but I'm guessing at least ProLine will offer bodies. It's a Traxxas so it's going to sell and most of those people are eventually going to want a new body so whoever makes them will sell a ton. | |

You're right though, I think they did change it up enough to make it unique in size. They're probably the only company that can get away with that too. | |
