bertberr Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Loving the body on that, why can't other companies make bodies that don't make you regurgitate your breakfast. However, its a Traxxas, so I can save myself 300 quid (ish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It does look fantastic brushed or brushless... Ideal way to do a silly powered brushless version good idea though selling without the battery and charger, especially if you have your own. nice to see them “trying” to cater for a wider audience.

capri-boy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Assuming of course there's no 'hidden' differences between the brushed / brushless version - been done before, often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It states it’s brushless ready. (Vxl) so maybe same drivetrain as the vxl??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Liking this, could fill the 1/10 truggy void I've had for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 CD option available as they did with the Slash 4x4? Not paying Traxxas prices, not supporting Traxxas full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
