m4inbrain Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Boy, the black one does look good mind.. Allegedly, it's a (time-) limited edition, exclusive to Traxxas dealers. In a few months it's, again allegedly, an available colour to order. I've read it on facebook (people saying their local Traxxas dealers explained it - 3 months exclusivity is the number being thrown around), so take it with a grain of salt - but i certainly would like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 For my large scale stuff i do have to drive a little bit, too - around half an hour. Bit annoying, but not the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BashingBrian Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I was told the black one is USA Ltd Ed only..!! Here's hoping it isn't, because that's the best looking one in my opinion.. That's one of the main things I hate about Traxxas is all their childish looking splish splosh paint jobs 😂 I mean come on, what's wrong with just a sinlge color body.!!

bertberr Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I agree with you re most of their models, but I actually think these are some of their more restrained efforts, and a lot better for it in my eyes. A lot less child like than the maxx / x-maxx colour schemes imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Colour of the body don’t really bother me as we all know these bodies will get destroyed at some point I usually go by the anodised parts myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please some explain or enlighten me..!! Have you seen whats happening with Nvidias new releases? Its an awesome strategy - hope other companies would start using it!

Agree on the country-exclusivity, that's just stupid. I do like the Rock n Roll paintjob though, i've got enough single colour RCs - bit of colour doesn't hurt. 2 hours ago, bertberr said: A lot less child like than the maxx / x-maxx colour schemes imo. The X-Maxx comes in the same colours, plus the additional Rock n Roll/Solar Flare colourful ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Well, not really the same - the red x-maxx for example has red / black in its scheme, as does the 'red' XRT, but whereas the X-Maxx has some imo weird blue/white/black wave / splash thing going on (kind of like if a 5 yr old had been given free rein in the body design/paint dept), the red XRT has imo a more classy and co-ordinated look with the grey/gunmetal. But hey, this is simply my opinion, so if x-maxx colourways look the same to you as XRT ones, then great, we all see things differently in life (thank god, would be a bit boring otherwise). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, i misremembered the X-Maxx base colours. I thought they were one colour, but they quite obviously aren't. And yeah, each to their own. 4 hours ago, Kpowell911 said: The fact it has black alloy bits is why I want it lol.

Not that I know of, but the fact its a limited edition means it’s probably gonna be sold out before UK even gets a release date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Are these orange WideMaxx arms, or does Traxxas already sell coloured stuff for the XRT? Asking for a friend. I do love that orange rig mind.. hm. 2 hours ago, Kpowell911 said: Not that I know of, but the fact its a limited edition means it’s probably gonna be sold out before UK even gets a release date. Could be, could also mean "time-limited". X-Maxx limited editions were widely available over here (Snap On), so.. not saying that we definitely all get a black one ezpz, but i do think that it's not going to be impossible.

Kpowell911 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Id imagine its just an orange Wide X Maxx Arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Yeah probably, not quite sure how compatible X-Maxx stuff is. Would be interesting to know whether or not the XRT arms are 1-1 the same as X-Maxx arms, or if X-Maxx arms do fit, but are a different design etc (like the Hubs/knuckles if i'm not mistaken, different design to X-Maxx but compatible).

BashingBrian Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I contacted JPerkins and they said the black one is USA only and they still have no solid release date for any of them for the UK yet, so I've no idea where WS have got the date from 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
