mond Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) That's 100 quid less than the DBXL-E, which is a whole other level of car. They need to consider selling this as a roller. Edited February 7, 2018 by mond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to shop around this day and age plus Traxxas parts support is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true but I’ve yet to find one I can’t break lol Losi parts support is now one of the worsed in the U.K. which is a crying shame as they make some real nice rc’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady 2215 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Well after watching this i deffiently went for the red, rigid industries truck. Got my pre order in at ms. The ford raptor svt body looks awsome. When you see the real thing in the video traxxas have done a very good scale copy right down to the smallest of deal. Bring on march. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Definitely on the radar, but being completely new it's got to prove itself. Edited promo vids can easily hide weaknesses. The suspension looks superb, seems to work very well. I've got a Traxxas dealer nearby, hopefully he'll stock this. I enjoy Kevin Talbots' vids, but I reckon it won't last long in his hands, that guy loves airing them out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm not in to scalers, but I quite like the detailing on this, so long as they don't ping off on the first rollover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) So do I see a problem with this truck already, Now I don't have any of the 2 that are already available, So owners can put me right, But from pass research we have the Axial Yeti XL RTR with it's dodgy wheel nut on a big truck problem. We have the last big truck from Traxxas with it's, I assume, Almost standard but not quite wheel nut setup. Then we have the new Desert Racer with this shower of, Leave it. I can get a17mm hex setup on a £150 RTR buggy, But not on a 840 quid Traxxas, The Yeti XL has been pulled over the coals so to speak for this setup, And is that a plastic hex hub locator I see, Should have known. And just noticed, How long is that grey plastic anti roll bar arm gonna last before it's rounded out.

For something you don’t like or will buy you show a lot of interest, is it more the case you really really want one but your hacked off your better half won’t let you have one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
