mond Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 5 hours ago, mydoddy69 said: Only reason I added it to the deal was it’s £30 cheaper than it is here plus free shipping It makes for a brilliant back up for both this and my X Maxx Shame it's not a kit. Something lower KV would perhaps suit it better as well. Did you see how you access the motor etc? The entire bottom comes off. I really want to see one disassembled before I'd consider it. It could be a nice design but all that weight bolting into plastic and it being inverted would be a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be fantastic it could be a pig you’ll never know if it’s going to work for you or not until you try it. Will the motor be an issue will the battery tray be a pita will the wheels fall off and the electrics catch fire I’ve no idea yet but I’ll soon find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to bite the bullet and go for both or should that be broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocdcbr Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Oooo. Something from traxxas I want again...( Xmaxx b4) might consider selling my xv2 to fund this thing. Definitely looks the part. A bit smaller than I thought it would be and the 6s ( instead of 8s) is a shame... 2200kv too.. hmmmm. Would think a lower kv setup would have been more sensible. We’ll c. MD... going for it eh! Nice 1. I’m tempted myself. Shame its not out quite yet as im off to NYC Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got this email back from the guys at Modelsport No UK pricing has been release as of yet but hopefully it well not be to much longer. However, working on the pricing of other Traxxas models (US Dollar to UK Sterling), I would guess the RRP would be around £900 with a possible selling price of £800+. Not cheap, but what a truck!

I did think this when I looked, but Try and order an Xmaxx and read what it says, im guessing itll be the same for the UDR, EMS Shipping only. Id imagine itll be $250 to post.....

sean-vrs Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 It could be a ban by traxxas, only allowing the dealer to ship in specific areas, the same as horizon do with losi products. In some ways it makes sense if we all bought from America all the uk dealers would go bust. I bought my DJI Mavic Pro from China and DJI will not honour the product and let me purchase DJI care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Which one did you go for Rich? Fingers crossed no customs either. Look forward to seeing it. I think 6s in something that size and that kv will do fine to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
