Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Heck yeah!! Awesome. Great deal with the body. Nice way to compromise a competitive price and still having value by ditching the electronics.

And the body comes with some accessories (rack, fuel cans, boards) and light buckets!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

It would appear that Traxxas is listening to us and releasing what we want.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Sweet! No electronics to yank out.

I think they'd really hit the sweet spot if that also came without the body and scale accessories or even a version with just the body. They're so close to what we all expect in a kit (the basics, no electronics and no body).

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

True. It’s not all bad though because this body set could fetch a decent price in the secondary market. With all the included accessories $50 should be easy, $75 possible. That drops this kit close to $200 like the RBK. Get another $20 out of wheels and tires and you got some TRX4 bones for less than $200.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Axial who?


Traxxas is killin' it with their first platform in the crawling scene!"thumbsup"

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

At least the Sport body looks 1000 times better with the optional grill and light buckets.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Well the Yeti Jr. Can Am is in stock now isn't that good enough? :lmao:

Yeah if you're after this body it does seem like a great value. If you dont mind hawking the extras it should be close to $200. I can foresee some sport bodies with all the fixins flooding Ebay soon.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

If I could get that without the body and all of the scale accessories, I'd be on that like white on rice.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Yes! Came here to post this and I was beat by a Ford! :lmao:

Can't wait for this!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I'll be all over this! This is awesome, no electronics to get rid of!"thumbsup"

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Heck yeah! Just seen this. Definantly wanna pick one of these up. If i get one, i foresee the body bein painted bright green lol. Thats my sons fav color. Thatd give him an extra body for his crawler. Nice job traxxas!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Sweet! Traxxas has finally put out a kit that we all have been looking for. Even at $280, this is by far the best deal compared to the other "builder's kits" that are on the market now.

I have never been a huge Traxxas fan, but IMO the TRX-4 is the best crawler right out of the box. I bought the first TRX-4 Kit last year and have fallen in love with it.

I think with this kit release it will be hard for the rest of the competition to match the quality, durability and options that this comes with. It looks like Traxxas has taken the lead and they are not looking back!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Yes! I will be getting this!

I gotta believe all the kits being released from various brands had a hand in blessing us with this. When there's healthy competition, there's options!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I like the whole kit and caboodle. I was thinking of getting a Sport RTR + Expedition package, then eventually getting a clear body to paint and replace the stocker, but this looks way better and cheaper! Funny thing is, I still have a Bronco slider chassis I got off eBay last year, which I still haven’t built up. Maybe I should just use it, or sell it, because I sort of loath the idea of sourcing a handful of servos and figuring out how to get them all configured. 🤦🏼

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

No idea if these are real, but if they are I'm in love!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Oh my.... :shock:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

What?!? Where did you come across these? I’m about to come down with a case of Traxxitis, and the only prescription is more Traxxas product. :shock:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

The Book of Faces so cross your fingers that it's not Photoshopped. If it is fake that poster may have to run for safety from the angry mob on Facebook! :lmao:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

A hobby shop posted to one of our local groups they are taking preorders on the Blazers so there is a very high probability of being real.

Oh, and I beat you on posting this by 2 minutes. This is what it must feel like being Frank211. :lmao:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Dammit! Beaten by a Ford again! :ror: At least I didn’t post a duplicate thread that we know will be coming.

Any word on when it’ll be available?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Someone said dealers should have their demo models in a few weeks and orders should ship a few weeks after that. Seems logical, Traxxas doesn't seem to debut a product then not ship it for months (lookin at you, HPI).

Also I'm brand agnostic. I believe that Ford is a good brand that has made many fine vehicles over the years but they are not blessed and not the savior of auto-kind. :lmao:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Awesome! And very true about Traxxas being quick to release after the announcement of a product. I was going to order the Sport kit, but I may have to wait for the Blazer. Now I'm torn.

Same here. I'm a Chevy fan, but Ford made some awesome vehicles over the years and their current trucks (Raptor) are better looking than the Chevys.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I called my nearest HobbyTown and they were clueless. I’m guessing it’s going to be based on the full-featured Bronco platform, which would set the cost about the same as the Bronco/Defender...ouch. I think I’m still more attracted to the Sport kit, even though an RTR would be more immediate gratification.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Has anyone heard any more about the release of the TRX4 Mercedes G-Wagon? Just wonder if Traxxas is planning to release both the K5 and the G-Wagon. Does anyone know if the the Blazer shown at the Nuremberg Toy show?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I'm guessing the complete, clear body will be about the same price as the Bronco - $160. If I don't buy the RTR with the painted body I'd have trouble spending that much on a clear body. :shock:

But I do want my second TRX-4 to be more performance oriented like the Sport.

So I'm still torn. :lmao:

I haven't heard more, but Traxxas...hell yes! This G-Wagon, Sport Kit, and now the Blazer!

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

having not had one, does anyone 3d print grill etc for this sport body to make it more resemble a real world truck? I could go for this kit if I could massage it a little to make it resemble a real world truck I think. But at 270, I think one could sell the body and wheels and tires and recoup another to cover a new body, and I have plenty of wheels and tires around. How wide are these? This thing is calling for a proline comanche body with those scale accessories.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Traxxas is now offering both a front and rear molded plastic light panels for the Sport body.

That said, the new Sport kit appears to include these Sport body light bits along with other add on parts.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

I don't know what you could make it into since it is so generic. Squint really hard and pretend it is a 2014 Ford Ranger from another part of the world?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

And it'll still look better than the car/truck Honda Ridgeline! :mrgreen:

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Funny. I went and added up the cost of getting a clear Sport body + Expedition package + Lenses & grills, in order to put them on my Bronco slider, but buying the full kit seemed like a better deal. Maybe, since I already have a full-featured D110, I could sell the Bronco roller and get the Sport kit.
I feel ya on being torn, although I'm in a slightly different scenario. I think if I really was drawn to the Blazer I'd see that as a great addition to my collection, because it does look good, especially that orange/white one.

We actually just took delivery of our first 19 ranger this past week at the lot, now you have me thinking.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Omg I literally just bought the sport rtr and pulled all electronics off of it.. Just my luck smdh

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Oh, man, that's unfortunate. I was considering doing that same thing, just several days before this news broke out. I was going to get a blue Sport RTR + Expedition package, and eventually replace the body with a custom-painted one. Glad I didn't pull the trigger.

I'm currently wondering if the Sport platform is better than the HPI Venture, because, if it is, I'll sell mine and get the Sport kit. I do know there's much more aftermarket for the TRX-4, already. I just don't need a bunch of single-speed scalers, but I like the Sport body & accessories.

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

my local dealer should have his Blazer demo tomorrow, I'm thinking about getting it after the demo period is over

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Please take pics of the trim and underside of the body, including light buckets, if you’d be able to "thumbsup"

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Can anyone confirm whether this kit has 12.3 or 12.8 wheelbase?

Re: TRX4 Sport kit
 

Its 12.3. Specs on traxxas site show it bein 1mm shorter than the bronco

I can't see it on the Traxxas website. They've only got the Kit with electrics.
