I should let him tell the story, but quite a few years ago he was asked to go to tamyia usa
as they were working on something new, Darrin went there with a newer creation--they looked it over, then a couple of months later--selling a virtualy identical truck. (with no credit or concern to Darrin) Can't remember which one--mabey i'll call him today and find out

I wonder if they will come out with the body in clear form? Kinda getting tired of the Traxxas box art. Seemed like they wore it out a long time ago.

I will get a set of the wheels and tires for my XX4 heavy metal project.

I was at the lhs today too, to pick up some parts. The owner says "hey you woulda' liked that traxxas slash I just sold" Too bad they are backordered for a month, I guess he thought I was kidding when I called him and told him to order me one when they were first announced. :roll: I'll get one on eventually
as for mrlexan, what are the odds that this could be the one. . .? ? ? 8)

I've had mine for a few days now. I got it from Tower with a $20 off coupon. There is now a $25 coupon for $199 orders. It's SOOOO cool. I've waited a long time for something like this to hit the market. I need batteries now. :cry:
