Traxxas Raptor R Pro Scale / Slash

This could be right up my street any ideas on pricing ?

Not massive changes, I never liked the centre drive shaft design for the Slash 4x4, making it longer seems a bad idea with that design.

 

Wonder what other shells will work?

"We've releasing a new model, it's a rebranded slashes!"

 

Normal people - 

 

 

FaNbOys-

 

Why the err, heck do traxxas insist on painting windows out then putting black stickers on the outside, they could put the stickers on inside as masks then you would have the option of clear windows.....oh wait its so they can reach into customer pockets for more cash for the clear shell, speaking of shell it seems its a little weak, fragile

Curious to see what the UK pricing ends up being for this 🤔 I think it'll be around £475-550..!!🤣🤪

I would guess close to £600, maybe £589 when it lands, wont worry me as i wont be getting one

Its $530 and by simply doing an exchange rate its £411 but it would probably be more than that i suspect

I really think your right, it seems here in UK companies are loading the price to cover import fee`s and such, in the USA the Hi-trail F-150 is $549 this equates to £425 UKS, but the model in UK stores is £560 ish.........we get shafted

Just remember the price you see in America on a website  isn’t the price they pay, there’s State sales tax (0%-11% I think) on top of that, so a $549 price you see is probably $600ish in some states. 
 

It’d be like going to Sainsburys, and your loaf of bread is £1 on the shelf edge lable,  and then £1.20 at the till because the price you see doesnt have VAT on it.

The HD parts on this look a nice inclusion, shame about the servo and shocks.

Just cheaper to hit the whole shell with paint, its all about the profit
