Me too 😂😂 Mine was far higher spec too.

Ive said to my Mrs, the only new Traxxas Im allowing myself is if an all new Summit comes out

Do we know if this is coming out in the UK ??, as my LHS seems to think that they don't have the licence (Ford Fiesta)to sell a Fiesta in the country it's most popular in.??

Kpowell911 · January 10

Dont see why not, we got the last one and can get the bodyshells still?

Rorys Breaker · January 15

I really hope this drops in the uk. I’m going through a rally phase right now and would love one of these! Looks epic.

BashingBrian · January 24

Today I emailed Wheelspin about this release, this is the reply I got back... (the UK makes no sense to me at times, and I've lived here my whole life 🤣)

Hi these are currently not being brought into the u.k so we do not sell or list them we have no information that they are going to be released in the u.k but if they are we will put them on the site straight away.

Best Regards,

And now there is a VXL 3s version which no doubt the UK will also not get 😤

I like the clipless body but do t see the need for HD plastics on a Rally Car

Dont panic, i have turned over a new leaf and stopped making bad comments about traxxas !

I am surprised the new Fiesta rally cars wont be coming to the UK, seeing as UK is kinda home of Fiesta cars

I think even Ford have stopped the fiesta!

If anyone is genuinely after one of these. I know I sold mine, which was a hopped up VXL I guess. But honestly these are such a great RC. Their size makes them so much better and useable than a regular 10th scale Tourer. Hate Traxxas all you want, but its an on road Slash 4x4, which is one of the most proven RCs probably ever

Let me stand in for the Traxxas hate.

This is a UK model of car, on a well proven platform that could be fun, even though they massively over price it for what it is. Thry have officially licensed it, and loads of Ford fans would probably buy it.

So lets NOT import it to the UK. But a stupid dragster? Sure...have all you want! Dumb.

There. Someone had to do it.

I think the issue is no one bought the last one….

You’re not wrong. Pretty much all their stuff and those like Arrma, Losi etc is though these days 🥲.

Can’t wait to hoon this about. Hope I don’t do what I did to my poor xv-01 on the weekend - brand new lancia body cracked after a lamppost sprung up out of nowhere… 😅

BashingBrian · January 30

Funny that, all the complaining about no UK release and now they go and release two at once..🤣🤣🤣

MrCake · January 30

They do look a lot of fun and like others say look to be more capable than a normal 1/10 rally chassis which dont have much ground clearance. Saying that, I also love the 4s Mojave and they are basically the same price. Feels like better VFM going down the Mojave route.

Makes me laugh, Modelsport said on their Facebook page that they were arriving soon, now the item page on website says Out of Stock
No expected date available 🤣🤣🤣

OMG the UK is so bad at RC, we get screwed over so much..😵‍💫

I hear you. I’d ordered the vxl as it said it was due in but think they made a mistake. Cancelled and got the bl-2s coming on Tuesday but am swapping that system out with a hobbywing immediately as I want speed. And power. 😂
