What a rip off, you must be bonkers to pay that for this. Seriously overpriced! Looking at it I thought that's more like a £750 vehicle max. I can see being as popular as Gary Glitters kids nursery!

Yep but the esc can handle 8s so maybe there playing it safe so they don’t to a Xmaxx 50mph out the box is pretty quick for a 2 1/2ft long truck imo so do you really need more ? if it only needs 6s to get there that’s a plus as the lipos will be cheaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Decent specs and size. Performance should be good. Can't justify one personally but looks like it could be a good buy. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just found this on FB from Chris Higa who is the large scale production manger at Horizon Hobby, might be of interest for those thinking of getting one. The battery box is designed for standard length 140mm hardcase battery packs. If you remove the foam battery spacer from the battery door, you will gain an additional 10mm. So max length of the batteries will be about 150mm. The height of the battery box is about 76mm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Hmm just read Traxxas are going to release a 1/7th scale Desert Truck Hmm might cancel my preorder and wait it out if this is case and see which is better ?

mond Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hard to say. At least the SBR will only perhaps be difficult to work on. Never know with a Traxxas. Also can you buy from such a morally objectionable company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The new Revo is due to be unveiled at Nuremburg in two months, and the 1/7 is due to be unveiled in the next week or so. By the look of that pic, it’s a real looker too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
