Another Scale Racing Truck

[MOmo]

My LHS is talking about making this a spec class. Looks ok, just huge and lots of wasted space. might be cool w/ a brushless.


RCChick-
I think it required too much work to make the stampede work like a true 2wd truck. Yea, its like Todd said. The other Traxxas kits were much better prior to the Rustler/Stampede series.

My friend just got given a Stampede, but its primarily going to be a basher. I have no great expectations. Its a toy.

x2. its a step in a good direction for more scale stuff, but it just looks like they just kinda threw together some sorta extended a rustler or something. i'm digging the bodies... i might have to extend one of my old gt's.

it probably performs a ton better than the thundertech corr truck, but i would still pick the thundertech on looks and the cool factor of having a solid rear and a waaaay better looking chassis underneath the lid.

i agree with the other jason, for the price of that splash you coulda drove halfway up to waterbury or bought a 17.5 brushless setup...

they are doing spec classes at my local track. 9 showed up and ran this past saturday. stock motor/speedo/tires/body rule, can change the radio and allegedly some suspension parts can be replaced (ie...one guy had CF shock towers & turnbuckles)

now THAT is cool.

Probably going to be somewhere in the $500 range I would guess. I would rather see an electric 4wd corr truck

[mrlexan]

WTF.... now why did I already but a Slash? If I would have known.

[Synergy]

How come none of us guessed that was going to happen given Traxsas's affinity to nitro power That big and 50mph+ sounds like a proper tool to me

[hkp]

..and next? an E-Revo based CORR Truck? With Brushless power??!!

Ha.. I had better stop dreaming

[klavy69]

I'm sure since the E-revo is out and people have been converting gas revos to electric for awhile now that it wouldn't be too hard to get your electric 4wd slayer. It is a cool lookin truck...even under the lid...expecially for a traxxas. my guess is its gonna be in the $400 range. Then they will make a platinum edition . Got to give traxxas credit for being able to offer a bunch of different models of the same truck.

Not to offend anyone whom likes Traxxas, but we all know the reputation they have, with a few exceptions of course. But it is a bit scary how much we are talking about them lately....... hey, I have a Slash too, so I am not one to talk, so I will shut my trap now.

OK, you got my attention. I like it.

I have several and have had several nitro Traxxas vehicles over the years and I can't complain with their durability considering what I do to them .

I'll take one WITHOUT the electronics please Traxxas...

[Tadracket]

...my guess is its gonna be in the $400 range....

An insider friend of mine says your close. $450 is going to be a close figure. What ever it is, it should be public any time. Slated to be released at the end of the month.

[mrlexan]

My LHS had one NIP clear unpainted body..... it was spoken for, otherwise I would have walked out with it last night. I had them order me two. If anyone ordered a new body from Tower, I imagine that you have or should be getting them.

They are a lot of fun, they just look so right zipping around.
