While I’d be ecstatic over another trx4 option, I’m fairly sure that’s just the normal bronco body but without the decals.

The blurb says something about new accessories and they link to this https://traxxas.com/news/new-trx4-accessories

Though I think most of these have been available for a while

Yup. The colored bead lock rings may be new I suppose but nothing else is from what I see.

I saw all those accessories, including the colored rings, on their site a couple weeks ago when I bought my Bronco. I don't know a lot about pricing for this stuff yet, but is $67 for a set of plastic beadlocks a bit expensive? I'm assuming $8 per wheel, because it doesn't say otherwise.

It is $8 per pair of wheels for 1.9s, so $16 for all 4 wheels; but they don’t come with bead lock rings which you’d need two sets of (1 ring in front and 1 in back per wheel) so that would be another $56 to $70 for the rings. So anywhere from $74 to $86 for a full set.

Considering you can get SSD wheels for $27 a pair, this would be a heck no from me.

I bought a traxxas package the LHS recommended that came with a charger and a 5800mah 2s battery. I figured it was a good choice, because it's for a traxxas truck. Recently I made a deal with a local and swapped my 2s and $45 for a couple 3s 5000mah traxxas batteries. Seemed like a good deal to me, considering the retail of the 3s batteries.
