Traxxas models with new features / upgrades

Beefed up transmission is a great upgrade out of the box.

I am glad to see they are bringing the rally back aswell.

Wonder how much these will be? As £329 for the 2WD Rustler VXL is already a lot, and this now has a "£100+" Transmission upgrade.......

I’d like to see more details about the re re of the rally. Hopefully wheels and tyres will be a bit easier to source…

 

I do quite like the purple Bandit to be fair, I don’t see me buying any Traxxas rtrs in the near future, only ones left for me would be another summit or a udr/xmaxx (doubt I’ll ever get my hand on anywhere near enough to buy one though )

 

@rccar4life, it’s not just Traxxas though is it? I mean axial have wound out the living daylight out of jeep shells, or under a different license for extra money like the old bronco.

 

I always wonder why it’s only Traxxas people get wound up by, yep, I get the “morals” of the company not being to everyone’s taste, prices and (some) electrical issues be off putting for some.

 

me, well I’m firmly in the Traxxas camp, more than happy with my line up.

20 year old cars with led lights , and material change in couple gears,  more toy looking craphics .

Is this it?

 

Its sad

 

They could do alot more

 

Not first time Traxxas makes me depressed with their  OLD new

 

Well there are new young drivers out there who will enjoy them im sure anyway.

 

These news are nothing to us Experienced in this Hobby 

 

They don't need to do anymore, these are solid platforms and have proven themselves relevant for years. They have been facelifted several times, I think people would be surprised how basic the original 2wd models were, drivetrain couldn't even handle brushed and NIMH!

 

You said it yourself, there are new (and old!) drivers where these models still hit the nail on the head because Traxxas and other companies bother to keep improving them.

 

Hoping the bandit has been updated to 12mm hexes, I quite fancy those wheels for my other buggies.

When I saw the Bandit I liked the wheels and wondered if they'd fit on my boys FTX Comet. 12 mm hexes on there too. Here's hoping!!
