Nothing more for me to say, Its not ‘new’ enough for me to change from my two, and still looks like its needs steel driveshafts. Still if you were after one and didnt already have one its a bonus. Good to see its not more expensive either.

i have read it has couple got good upgrades over the normal one. i did want one before but changed my mind now. never know, i might want one in the future 🙂

Yep think we pretty much covered it. I was tempted but it soon passed 😂

 

Nice to see the price hasn’t changed with the extra upgrades that said if you bought one say a month ago and had to invest in the wide max it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth now. Then again if we had crystal balls and could predict the future we’d all be lottery winners 😂👍

Kev had a vid out a couple of days ago, he didn't break it, that says something?

[Kpowell911]

Id normally get the new parts from Jennys when they become available and lengthen mine, Its going to be a chassis, a skid plate, a centre driveshaft and maybe an upper deck……..but its going to need a new shell and internal cage system, and by the time youve bought all the other plastic bodyshell bits youre into a tonne with paint, and also render my 3 current shells useless.

 

Not sure its worth it for 20mm?

Good piont that bro the longer wheelbase worked wondered on the savvy xl this not so sure 

[Kpowell911]

Id like it, just wish theyd done it properly, made it much wider and longer, put a 6s system in it. Then Id have had one. But I suppose thats the E Revo’s space

No. 😄

From what I've seen it does look a bit more stable with the longer chassis combined with the wideMaxx kit. I'd also say that the price is a bit easier to swallow, still expensive for what it is I think but I could seriously be tempted to get one. As for the plastic driveshafts I don't think you'd have too many problems unless you go 6s or bash it really, really hard, though again for the price it is it would be nice if the metal ones were fitted out of the box.

This might be a good upgrade but an rc that i could never own, or any like it, for one the price is way to much for one rc and second i really dont like or do basher type trucks, also i just dont like how traxxass do business

[bertberr]

Sounds like you just need that final little 'nudge'... 😁
