Traxxas finally gets hit back

[RogueIV]

Traxxas appears to have gotten itself in hot water for using the Mudboss name, rightfully so.

I haven't looked too far into it, but from what I understand, they got a taste of their own medicine.

Well that's a lot less fun than asking...

...is there an echo... echo... echo...?

Ya think Salvas is like...

That's actually..... pretty funny!

Thanks for sharing!


Honestly, I think these are pretty cool, though and would probably be quite fun with a group!

5 or 6 yrs ago, we built a clay oval for go kart racing in my father's back yard.
Not certain of the "lap length", but I'd reckon the infield is approx 80ft x 25ft (and the racing surface about 10-12ft wide all the way around),
and it gets kept and maintained VERY well by everyone who races on it.

ANYWAY... I've found that it's a LOT of fun running some of my faster trucks around it, and I've been trying to get some people into racing RCs on it lately. Maybe something
like these can do it.

...sorry for the off topic ramble there. I get that way sometimes. lol

The thing about Traxxas is most of their stuff is pretty decent but the legal team there are a bunch of asshats.

The funniest part about the Mudboss though was it isn't even legal for the Mudboss rules.

Really though, "Mudboss" is a pretty weird name for a Dirt Modified car. Seems like a name more suited for a Mud Truck.

Mudbus was a name given to the eastern dirt modifieds back in the day. So Mudboss is just a play on the name.

The part that irritated me wasn't the stealing of the name rather than they were calling an imca/ump style modified a mudbuss. Two totally different cars in real life. The modifieds are an oem subframe based car where the mudbuss is closer to a sprint car under a bigger body. I'm just glad they got called out no matter the reason lol. Hope it costs them a bit of coin.
