traxxas new release ?

That's my fear too... I reallllly hope that they don't because deep down in the pit of my soul I know that every little kid who wants a hobby grade RC would be like "MOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! I WAN'T THE TRAXXAS CRAWLLLLERRRRRR"

But like the others, perhaps it is time for them to release something that is different from everything they have seemed to perpetuate for years.

Hope it's something new, not just re-worked existing platform. If Traxxas does a crawler it will be very good, they have learned a lot and their quality is high. "thumbsup" I hope it is a scale crawler.

some quick googling is showing the price to be around $800-$1,000. But that is just what the internets say. So, maybe a 1/5th scale whatever.

They always do that with pricing of not yet released stuff. :roll:

T-Maxx 10 year anniversary edition.

Let's hope not.

they just announced a TopFuel Dragster so Im putting my money on a drag car.

RC dragster.....BORING.

If they do something Revo based, I'd hope the would follow Losi's path and upsize the whole thing instead of stretching it out then changing the rolling stock and body.

Yes, let's hope they have more brains than that.

HPI has a new monster truck with a small nitro sized gasoline engine coming out.

::HPI RACING:: News - THE NEW HPI REVOLUTION... 1/8th SCALE GASOLINE POWER

"Nitro Gas engine"???? It would just be gas would it not? Mix the oil and pump gas and go.:ror:

Yes, it is a two stroke, gasoline powered, 1/8 scale sized engine. You misread my post, plus I should have been more clear. I merely said nitro sized as a way to describe the smaller size of the engine, as in not a 26cc+ 1/5 scale engine.
 
100 mph? Boring
1/7th scale? What?
On road only? Super boring?
$1099? Ridiculous

There is nothing in this release I find the least bit exciting besides iPhone/iPod telemetry. And that should have been android compatible as well. These are just opinions, but I was actually hoping to want a traxxas product again, and this did not fit the bill for me.
 
I hope they didn't make many. I bet the sales just barely cover the r&d and production. A real let down. I'm goin with my lhs's view on traxxas from now on I think.
 
i must say, that is not what i had in mind. still cool none the less! 1/5th scale on road powered by castle that is ready to run over 100 mph out of the box! that's kinda scary! its like an Rc missile! the msrp is crazy, but it always is. the price will come down. i digg the telemetry thing with the iPhone, now if it only worked on Droids.... hint hint hint.
